1. Good Idea

2. "occupied"
ben Ish   (07.18.09)
Jews cannot even wear tzit-tzits, bow the head, close the eyes, move the lips, and must move quickly out of the area, but they still call that "occupied". This is what the rest of the world hears and believes: The Jews dominate control of the Temple Mount and do not allow any Muslims to worship or even visit there.
3. Excuse me, but
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (07.18.09)
It isn't your choice. Sorry. You should have learned to play nice. You didn't. It's all on you, As salaam aleikum. Hope you really like your new home.
4. What were Arabs doing 3000 years ago
Steven ,   Charlotte   (07.18.09)
"Jerusalem has been our capital for 3000 years, We (Jews) were here when your (Arab) forefathers were drinking wine and burying their daughters alive and worshipping idols". -Mordechai Kedar, Professor of Arabic Studies, Bar Ilan University http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHpMhAzj-Tk
5. Temple Mount
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron-Israel   (07.18.09)
The biggest mistake that Moshe Dayan made was to let the Wafq take care of the Temple Mount! This is our land! Jerusalem is ours! The Temple Mount is ours! However doesn't understand it has got a problem and should confront reality. Jerusalem is the unified capital of Israel and Israel only . Let them learn to live with that!
6. 1967 TOO EASILY FORGOTTEN ..EH ?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (07.18.09)
FREEDOM TO WORSHIP ON TOP OF "HAR HABAYIT" EXISTS BECAUSE OF "OUR" DESIRE FOR PEACE AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE 1967 WAR.WE COULD HAVE DISPOSSESSED EVERY ARAB FROM JERUSALEM AND THEIR HOLY PLACES THEN.WE DIDN"T DO IT.IT IS NOW 42 YEARS LATER! ARE YOU BARRED ?..NO...ARE YOU A WILD PEOPLE OUT FOR TROUBLE WITH JEWS?...GIVEN HALF THE CHANCE... YES...WE ARE OF YOUR "PSYCHE AND PHILOSOPHY.AND ABOVE ALL SO DOES "G"D". FOR WHICH REASON YOU WILL NEVER SUCCEED
7. Civil war is coming and the expulsion of Islam from Israel!
Sean ,   London,England   (07.18.09)
Hopefully from all of Europe before we are over-run by the Arabs. Islam is the root of all evil in our world! Everywhere violence exists......Islam is there.
8. Root of Evil? Try Colonialism, Slavery, and British Empire
Nour ,   Palestine   (07.18.09)
Try World War 1 / 2, try the nuclear bomb, Nagasaki / Hiroshima, try the sysematic extermination of native Americans at the hands of European "Christians". Try Jewish subjugation of millions of Palestinians since 1948, on their own land (Where'd they come from? Surprise! Europe). You are one hypocritical twit.
9. the biggest lie of all!
oded   (07.18.09)
is the"""al- quds""... not even once is jerusalem mentioned in the kuran.. so whi si b.isng who? you can little kids anything you want, khatib, but at the end it is a big fat bull****lie! jerusalem has , is and will always be the jews' capital, no equivocations. the money collected this year should also be confiscated and donated to the bereaved families of arab- terror victims.
10. "Well NEVER give it up"??? No problem, then we'll just take
it from you. I hate ,   that damn gold dome.   (07.18.09)
11. A fake Armageddon is coming and the Mosque on the Temple
Rivkah   (07.18.09)
Mount will likely be blown up to get the Muslims to attack and be destroyed. The real Armageddon comes later, but not more than 7 years after that.
12. Take your mosque off Judaism's holiest site
Joe Frazier ,   Philly   (07.18.09)
How would a muslim feel if Saudi Arabia was invaded and someone built a church, or a hindu, sikh, buddist temple on top of mecca?
13. WHY IS EVERY HOLIDAY POLITICAL?
jO   (07.18.09)
WHO WANTS THIS?
14. 4What were' jews' doing 2000 years ago
lydia ,   Brisbane   (07.19.09)
Eastern European Khazars were converting to judaism in large numbers. Why then should your mongrel relations be hoisted on the people of the ME
15. Jesus & Mohammed have come after Moses (PBUT)
(07.19.09)
16. ...and the world is flat, and pigs fly, and...
The truth lies   (07.19.09)
17. Dark sarcasm in the classroom
Ypip ,   Canada   (07.19.09)
Leave my kids alone.
18. #12 I don't know how the muslims would feel, but I sure as
hell would be dancin ,   in the streets!!!!!   (07.19.09)
19. Jerusalem
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (07.19.09)
When will we tell the world that Jerusalem is our UNDIVIDED Capitol and the hate speech of the Muslims is treason and they must be arrested and put in prison. The al-Aqsa Mosque is under JEWISH authority and we Jews have the absolute right to dictate who goes near or into it.
20. WTH are they talking about? The Muslim Waqf runs the
usa   (07.19.09)
mosque in Jerusalem. Believe me, if the Jews were going to "tear it down," they would have done so in '67. This is just more Arab BS politics. Jerusalem is not "occupied" except by its rightful owners: the JEWS.
21. "We stole it - it's ours!"
William ,   Israel   (07.19.09)
Saleh - "That platform that the Jews call the Temple Mount? They never had a temple there. It was built through the divine wishes of Muhammed himself and his donkey"
22. #8 - Nour - I thought you were speaking about Islam
William ,   Israel   (07.19.09)
The only difference was Islam didn't have an atomic bomb back then....but the issue of Colonialism, Slavery, forced expulsions and conversions, violence....Islam had that nailed down centuries ago. I doubt the Berbers, Kurds, Persians, etc. would forget the brutal and illegal Arab occupation over the centuries so easily as you do. BTW - my family lived in Palestine for centuries - subjugated by Arabs until the massacre in 1929 that destroyed our Hebron and Jerusalem homes and killed some family. Funny, that was even before the massive illegal Arab immigration in the 1930s!
23. The idiots on the Left still don't understand
AK   (07.19.09)
The fight over the Temple Mount and Jerusalem is the fight for Israel. Arabs know it, that's why they try to make Jerusalem and the Omar's mosque holly, even though Jerusalem isn't mentioned in Koran. When Israelis handled the keys to the Temple Mount to the Arabs in 1967 they managed to loose the war they had so magnificently won just a few days earlier. End all that happened because the Left's fear of Judaism triumphed their fear of the Arab enemy and the common sense.
24. To No. 8: Nour, you have subjugated Jews for so long
AK   (07.19.09)
that you are unable to accept that the Jews are now free in their own state. There have never been the people called Palestinians; there has never been a nation called Palestinian or a country called Palestine; there has never been culture, language or anything else called Palestinian and Jerusalem has been a capital of only one nation -- the children of Israel. What you are are Arabs squatting on Jewish land that you have conquered with a sword in your hand and now that the lawful owner have returned and have claimed their land back, you can live in Israel as a guest and loyal subject or leave. You are free to go back to Arabia, Syria or where your folks came from. The owners are back, and your are not one of them.
25. YOU WILL GIVE IT UP!!!
Heather Czerniak ,   Milwaukee, USA   (07.19.09)
The al-Aqsa Mosque will come crashing down and Jerusalem will be ours again! No one in their right mind will buy your claim of being persecuted. YOU are the ones doing the persecuting. Every photo on the Internet of Palestinian babies wrapped in bomb vests shows how barbaric you really are. And you think Israelis are cruel? Maybe they're just sick and tired of going around in circles with you. Israel is for Jews and Jews only. Deal with it, punks!
26. re: #4
Albert ,   Los Angeles, USA   (07.19.09)
Hey Prof, Are you saying that Poles, Russians, Germans, Austrians, and the rest of the European Jews have been in Israel for 3000 years? Seems to me that Palestinians look a hell of a lot closer to what semitics would look like in the middle east than 60 percent of your people do. I think your forefathers are Palestinian.
27. #8
B ,   Washington, D.C.   (07.19.09)
were you smokn' crack when you wrote your response? Jews have been in the holy land for thousands of years and exactly how long have "palestinians" been around? The region generally referred to as "Palestine" was previously known as Judea. Seems to me, you're the twit..........
28. Ok, and we won't ever give to you (end)!!
David ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.19.09)
29. What the koran says...
Richard ,   Hague Holland   (07.19.09)
It is written in the Holy Qur’an that Allah granted the Land of Israel to the Children of Israel and ordered them to settle therein (Qur’an, Sura 5:21).
