1. at last somebody was waving an israel flag on TM
zionist forever   (02.27.14)
Jews wanting to go to Temple Mount get strip searched by the police make sure they are not carrying an flags or prayer material. Good on the palestinians probably the first Israeli flag thats been flown there since Moshe Dayan ordered the one raised in 1967 be taken down.
2. The temple mount is Palestinian
Yeoshua F. ,   N.Y   (02.27.14)
It has MOSQUES on it. Not synagogues or a Rabbi´s courtyard that sells holy water. There is no reason an Israeli flag should be anywhere near it in the first place.
3. Proof Jerusalem Is Not Holy To Islam
emanon ,   USA   (02.27.14)
Why would you try to burn down a place supposedly holy to your religion?
4. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.27.14)
First of all, I think you mean "priest's courtyard." Secondly, the mosque -- singular -- was built atop the ruins of the Second Temple. Israel should dynamite it that squat, ugly blue eyesore and build the Third Temple. Thirdly, Jerusalem is the capital city of the State of Israel. We can fly the Israeli flag wherever we like in Jerusalem, without first consulting with you, or seeking your approval.
5. Riots

In the US, if you attack police, they use real bullets. What happens if you get your million martyr wish? Peace is out of reach so face the facts. Kerry, go home.
6. @ #5 - What You Forget is that the Land
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (02.28.14)
belongs to the Palestinians. Israel is nothing but an illegal squatter. Just because you think THEIR historical and religious relics are an eyesore, they are not going to tear it down just to please you. Just like if I think some of the synagogues in my town are ugly as hell, that does not mean that the members of the synagogue should tear it down just to please me. The Palestinian Christians, Moslems and Jews have way more blood in common with the Jews that built the first and second temple than the European invaders that now dominate Israel.
7. #6 read the truth
(02.28.14)
The Koran clearly writes that the land is Jewish and Israel is not the squatter. Be careful when you mock the Holy Book.
8. #21 - Wrong ?!
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (02.28.14)
A moronic reasoning, probably by a paid Jew-baiter. Temple mount is as Jewish as the Western Wall, and it is only because of Israeli governments' spinelesness and cowardice since 1967 this argument even exists. We may lose the entire East Jerusalem precisely for the same reason.
9. this is who sheetrit and haber wnat to make peace with
marv   (02.28.14)
One thing is perfectly clear: With people like sheetrit, haber, livni, olmert, lapid and his father tommy, beilin and ben ami, gal on, german,yechaimovitch merridor,peri, israelis are not and never were the chosen people. They were there before the arabs whose narrative is like erdogan, a bunch of croc. In fact, if god takes a look at these people, he would say you are not chosen cause you are not better than anyone else and in fact, yoiu are a bunch of cowards.
10. Just the fact there's no rabbi up there and there's a mosque
Kaleessi   (02.28.14)
Doesn't making it Muslim
11. 4 & 6
zionist forever   (02.28.14)
In 1967 the late Lubavitcher Rebbe recommended to Eshkol ( the PM ) to ACCIDENTLY drop a bomb on the mosque. Its a fact that sometimes in wars bombs go astray especially before the smart bombs era.. In 1967 we were already at war and had as good as won it so no need to worry about it sparking a war but sadly Eshkol didn't listen. The Rebbe also suggested to Eshkol whilst the Jerusalem arabs are terrified of what Israel MIGHT DO then buy them all out quick dirt cheap because they would want to sell out of fear. Result most the arabs gone and today there would be no arab East Jerusalem because there would be so few arabs in the city. Just think if we had listened to the hassid in 1967 we wouldn't have any issues with Jerusalem today, no golden eyesore on the Jerusalem skyline and no arabs living in the city

graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (02.28.14)
Doug, you have stated the case for the removal of the Zionist entity far better and more succinctly that I could ever hope to. Right on, Doug!
13. To: No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.28.14)
No, the land was nonsovereign right up until the partition vote in 1947. Israel accepted partition. The Arabs rejected partition, and chose to go to war. They lost. They lost five additional wars, all of which they started. Your comment is evidence not only of your rabid hatred of Jews and of the State of Israel, but of your abysmal lack of the most rudimentary history. Have fun wallowing in your ignorance, pigpen. If you work really hard, perhaps you might someday far off into the future hope to achieve mediocrity.
14. Who sells the flags to them ?

are you getting your education from local imam? you your self are real European invader of AMERICA HIPPOCRAT
16. #6 - say it enough times...still not true
William ,   Israel   (02.28.14)
Never was "Palestinian", never will be. You forgot that Arabs illegally took land through offensive aggression, illegal annexation and ethnic cleansing in 1949 which resulted in the splitting of Jerusalem - first time since its founding. It is illegal, under intl law, to re-divide the land and hand it to the Arab aggressors. Regarding Jews in the land of Israel, the majority are native born and many of those who immigrated were from Arab lands (from ethnic cleansing). No attempts to manipulate the facts will change that. Through DNA tests, proof is shown that Jews all over the world are closely related and tied right back to present-day Israel. Our bodies may stray far from Jerusalem but our blood never has.
17. #13 Sarah the B. True facts are
Johnathan   (02.28.14)
In 1947 the jews owned 7% of the land &was 1/3 of the population. UN wanted to give the jews 56% of the land. Take away 50% of Arab owned land. Nobody would accept a deal like that. 67 war began when the jews attacked Egypt. Sneak attack like the one on the USS Liberty. FACTS not like your lies
18. Pre-planned - that all I have to say
William ,   Israel   (02.28.14)
19. #2 - there's many mosques in NY too
William ,   Israel   (02.28.14)
why should any of them have an American flag flying over them?
