Why were the Hashemites permitted to remain as the "CUSTODIANS" of the Temple Mount even after 1967? Why can't the Rabbinate be the custodians of the Har Habayit? ... And how many Jews did the Hashemites allow to pray at the Kotel during 1948-1967? Where was the world then? It is time that we assert our authority over our holy places!

Excuse me if I am wrong, but weren't the Jordanians the ones who paved over Jewish graves to build a hotel on top of the Mt. of Olives?

"The continuing existence of Israel, and the refusal of Jews to march into the sea, could derail the revival of Arab-Israeli peace talks."

How sick are these people to tell Jews we cant work around, not even on the Temple Mount when Muslims desecrate the Temple Mount daily. Sick. Ban everyone from the Temple Mount. It must be done.

This is the only solution and it will work. No Muslims, no Christians, no Jews, no one. Get them off the Mount permanently. It is a strong a peace building measure.

There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. In all of recorded history, Jews are the only people who ever made Israel their nation. Jews had dominion over Israel for 1,000 years with a continuous Jewish presence for 4,000 years. At the time of Muhammad's death, there was not a single mosque in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is mentioned 766 times in the Jewish Bible, not once in the Koran. Muslims pray facing Mecca. It is Muslim practice to take over, desecrate and destroy the holy sites of other religions-Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, et al. Muslims build mosques on top of the holy sites of other religions to signify that their religion is superior to all others. Muslims did this on the Temple Mount. During Jordan's illegal occupation of Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem from 1948-1967, Jordan never sought to make Jerusalem their capital and no foreign Arab leaders visited Jerusalem. Jordanian radio broadcast Friday prayers not from Al-Aqsa Mosque, but from a mosque in Amman. Jordan destroyed 58 sacred synagogues in Jerusalem. Jordan's army desecrated the 2,500 year old Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives and used Jewish tombstones for pavement and latrines. All land, homes and buildings seized in the 1948 Islamic invasion of Judea, Samaria, Gaza and east Jerusalem must be returned to Jews immediately.

Hey mr. king of jordan, I read about bad kings in the history books, but now I get to see one in action. Go look for another job, so you can pay the rent.

Why doesn't he tell his fellow Muslims to calm down instead of trying to intimidate archeologists from doing their job? Is he's really worried about "dangerous escalations?" Then he should tell Hamas and Fatah to stop fighting each other and killing innocent civilians in the Palestinian Territories. This over-reaction to digging at a site is just so typical of the intolerance of Muslim leadership. If he really wants to keep the situation from getting worse, then he should tell his fellow Arabs to CALM DOWN and NOT engage in violent protests that will only hurt them and other innocent people.

by Muslim intolerance. If the Arabs don't like it, they can have PEACEFUL demonstrations like other civilized communities. If they can't manage to express their anger and outrage in a socially acceptable manner, then they deserve to reap the consequences of their actions. Israel and the rest of the free world must stop playing this game of caving in to the demands and temper tantrums of Muslim intolerance.

just like his father... two faced little git and to think israel saved his father's halal bacon. what a waste. he should take in all the so called palestinians west of the river jordan and rebname his country jordan-palestine

The King should be careful when accusing nations of defiling holy sites. His country has a pretty poor record on that one - having destroyed synagogues when Jordan conquered Jerusalem's old city in 1948 and its refusal to allow Jews to worship at the Jewish Temple. Israelis and people who know the facts can only shake their heads in wonder, since Israel gave control of Muslim holy sites on the Temple Mount to Muslims, and allows Muslims to worship there. Perhaps the King is looking for an easy excuse for the Palestinians to avoid returning to the negotiating table.

this stupid king who is supposed to be in peace with israel don't really behave like someone who want peace in the region!on the contrary,this stupid man is" throwing oil on the fire".

Claiming that the king will have a violent end........

be done with it!

The Australian Muslim boys urinated on Bible Cameron Stewart December 06, 2006 TWO Muslim students have been expelled from an Islamic school in Melbourne for urinating and spitting on a Bible and setting it on fire. The explosive incident has forced the East Preston Islamic College to call in a senior imam to tell its 650 Muslim students that the Bible and Christianity must be respected... Anxious teachers at the school have also petitioned principal Shaheem Doutie, expressing "grave concern" about an "inculcation of hatred and radical attitudes towards non-Muslims" at the school, including towards non-Muslim teachers. The Bible desecration took place last week at a school camp held near Bacchus Marsh, about 50km west of Melbourne, attended by 33 teenage Muslim boys ranging in age from Year7 to Year 10. A school report of the incident, obtained by The Australian, says it happened late at night and involved three students and another two watching. "The main perpetrator (a Year 7 student) urinated on the Holy Bible, tore some pages from the Holy Book and burnt them then finally spat on the Holy Book," the report says. The second boy, from Year 9, "tore pages from the Holy Book and burnt them", while a third student, from Year 7, "tore pages from the Holy Bible and then he rolled it up like a cigarette and pretended to smoke it". The boys come from a variety of ethnic Muslim backgrounds -- one is believed to be an Albanian/Malaysian, another Lebanese and another Indonesian. Mr Doutie, whose school receives about $3.9 million in state and federal government funding each year, told The Australian yesterday that both he and the school community were appalled by the Bible desecration and that he had expelled the first two boys and suspended the third... But the desecration incident has shaken the nerves of the school's teachers, about half of whom are non-Muslim. A petition signed by 22 teachers expressed "anguish and dismay at the grave incident of the desecration of the Holy Bible". "This whole incident implies a deep hatred inculcated in the students towards the Christians/non-Muslim teachers," it says. The petition said there had been "previous incidents of students misbehaving towards non-Muslim teachers". It called on the school to "take steps to rectify this explosive situation" to ensure the safety of teachers... Many Muslims remain angry about the public humiliation suffered by their spiritual leader, the mufti Taj Din al-Hilali, after the Sheik likened female rape victims to pieces of meat who brought the attacks on themselves. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20879483-2702,00.html

STOP the Wicked Arab Defilement and Destruction in the Muslim War against G-D and Islamic War against the Holy places of Israel's G-D! The HOLIEST place on earth, the sacred Temple Mount is exclusive Jewish property given by G-D for the worship of Israel's G-D - Creator of the Universe. It is not for the worship of any other gods. www.israelnationalnews.com Photos: Arabs Ransack Samuel´s Tomb, Vandalize Hevron Graveyard Jan 28, '07 by Ezra HaLevi Over the Sabbath, Arabs destroyed property and religious items in the Tomb of Samuel, north of Jerusalem. On Sunday morning, Hevron's Jewish residents found their graveyard had also been attacked. Samuel's Tomb, called Kever Shmuel by Jews and Nebi Samwil by Arabs, is located just north of Jerusalem's Ramot neighborhood and can clearly be seen from many areas of the capital. Police are investigating the incident, in which the main prayer hall in the tomb was smashed and phones and fax machines from an adjacent office were stolen.... The Iron door of the ark inside the tomb was broken into, its contents stolen and the decorations and pillars surrounding the ark smashed... A cabinet with religious articles and prayerbooks was pried open and the books torn and destroyed... Hevron's Jewish cemetery was vandalized over the Sabbath as well, with headstones overturned, graves smashed and covered with graffiti... There is also a mosque in the tomb complex. Hevron's ancient cemetery is located near the Admot Yishai (Tel Romeida) neighborhood. It also has a new section, which was targeted by the attackers.... http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=120399

This is an undeniable fact.

It is NONE of the business of Abdullah or anyone to interfere in Israel's internal affairs.

King Hussein by all means please derail the piece process.

Then he will have room to talk.

B"H These are Sacred sites of Israel. We know that this is a core sticking point in the religious conflict, that the Muslims prevent the Jews from performing their religious obligations by claiming Jewish religious sites. This is the decree for us in the present day that we need to deal with. We know from G-d that this situation is unacceptable and there is something additional that we need to pray for or do to change it. Basically, our enemies are saying that we have no obligation as a Jewish people to offer sacrifices according to G-d's will in the designated location. We have to, when we see what our enemies are saying, recognize that this is foremost an internal challenge. For our enemies would not have dominance over us were it not that there is something within ourselves that needed reforming. Because of our current condition, our enemies are the head there, spinning minnerets on top of the Mount, and we are the tail, issuing prayers from the courtyard. We must pray to G-d for change and those legitimate leaders must lead us towards our final path as a people, that we perform G-d's will in order to be a people no longer enslaved by the Nations of the world. Until this takes place, these are the pins in our eyes to alert us to our present condition as a Jewish people. We as a people need very serious reformation in our deeds to prevent this sort of situation from continuing. This is my understanding of G-d's message to us with these current events.

Blow it up...........NOW!

Give them homes, jobs, cars. This would end all Middle-East problems as we know them. I am pretty sure that 99% of Palestinians would give up the "resistance" in order to have a normal life with money, a home and a job.

Seeing as he thinks a peace process is in the works, its best to have this basic line drawn in the sand. Religious identifiations notwithstanding, Israel has a right and duty to repair its bridges, and a right to conduct archeological digs in territories it has occupied for the past forty years! If some people are religiously "offended" about these matters, they should talk to their religious leaders about their views to find spiritual solice for their upset.
