alfred ,   Israel   (11.24.10)
The issue of PA is difinitely nonsense without learning the past, it is the muslim religion has no right to jerusalem old city even in samaria, remember shiloh that the ark of the covenant dwell hundreds of years.
4. Palestinian official: Western Wall not Jewish
david ,   ny usa   (11.24.10)
and my 3 tear old issued a report that finds no jewish connection to the torah and Moshe, she also repoted that pope has no connection to Vtiacan, and christ has no connection to christianity christ was a fabrication of jews to get the muslims "WHAT ARE THEESE ARCHAEOLOGIST SMOKING IN THERE WATER PIPES"
5. Why the official silence?
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (11.24.10)
Why cannot Bibi go to the press and clearly state that Al-Mutakawil is just an ignorant donkey? Has he no guts even for this?
6. Jerusalem
nasrine abdel nour ,   Beirut   (11.24.10)
Just because there has been an uninterrupted Jewish presence in Jerusalem for thousands of years doesn't mean you own the place.
7. This is your "partner in peace"
Maurice ,   Los Angeles, USA   (11.24.10)
What no outrage from the west? If an Israeli official made similar statements, the world would cried racism and apartheid state. The double standard is discusting.
8. HAKOTEL
RUTH ,   BOSTON USA   (11.24.10)
Hkotel was never Jewish, Arafat was a Jew, and the moon is made of cheese. To be added to the Palestinian minister declaraion.
9. What does Regev want
Israel Israeli ,   hjg@walla.co.il   (11.24.10)
The Arabs know they are saying BS, but as long as Netanyahu agrees to negotiate with these people, they will continue to insult and humiliate Israel. They spit on him, and he smiles.
10. Who did the study? Buraq the mythological steed?
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.24.10)
11. How can "Palestinian" poseurs have a true narrative?
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.24.10)
What does one expect "Palestinians" to claim? Their ridiculous claim that Jews have no right to our sacred holdings, which have been ours for thousands of years, should surprise or dismay nobody. There is no "Palestine" state and never has been. So how can a fictional state have a true narrative? Obviously a fictional state can only have a fictional narrative. It is up to Israel to reject the "Palestinian" poseurs and claim our sole tiny Homeland.
12. Really ???
Filipe ,   Portugal   (11.24.10)
HOw can somethingthat was built centuries before Islam was invented be a Muslim holy site ???? That's some pretty good comedy !!
13. Al Aqsa official: "Jewish Temples existed"
DR ,   UK   (11.24.10)
On 14 Jun 2006 Ynet news reported - http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3262733,00.html Al Aqsa official: Jewish Temples existed Says Al Aqsa custodians passed down stories for centuries indicating mosque was built at site of former Jewish Temples Contradicting most of his colleagues, a former senior leader of the Waqf, the Islamic custodians of the Temple Mount, told WorldNetDaily in an exclusive interview he has come to believe the first and second Jewish Temples existed and stood at the current location of the Al Aqsa Mosque. The leader, who was dismissed from his Waqf position after he quietly made his beliefs known, said Al Aqsa custodians passed down stories for centuries from generation to generation indicating the mosque was built at the site of the former Jewish Temples. He said the Muslim world's widespread denial of the existence of the Jewish temples is political in nature and is not rooted in facts. .... http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=36605
14. Another silly new
Antonio ,   Spharad   (11.24.10)
It's simple: Jerusalaim temple --> more than 2000 years old, thus, kotel so old or more. Islam --> Appeared in VII century. These Pals. must learn arithmetic before show any report. Another pity try to increase tension.
15. Here we go again....historical revisionism!!!
EST ,   Miami USA   (11.24.10)
Lie, lie, lie until they start giving credence to your lies....that is the Palestinian technique, and unfortunately the anti-Semites of this world help them in their disgusting efforts, Jerusalem was built by a Jewish king for his Jewish subjects as the capital of his Jewish kingdom! History 101. No revisionist claim can change that!
16. #6 from Beirut
EZ   (11.24.10)
" Just because there has been an uninterrupted Jewish presence in Jerusalem for thousands of years doesn't mean you own the place. " Correct: Israel owns the place the same way that Muslim Arabs own Damascus and Amman. Land won by force of arms. Surely, you understand that. Now, here's the thing: Israeli Jews, unlike previous conquerors of the city did not evict their enemies and did not build over any religious site. Both you and I know what is under the mosque above the Wall. That is why Muslims get so fidgety. Like a thief, caught in the act.
17. They own too thousand of graves in Medina
Duduu ,   Aruba   (11.24.10)
The profet, himself sent all his cristians inhabitants to dead, just for being INFIDELS, and naive protecting Mahoma from the people he robe.
18. #6 God owns it, but we are the rightful tenants.
Yossi G. ,   Jerusalem   (11.24.10)
19. of course
laszlo ,   germany   (11.24.10)
hakotel is not jewish,it belongs to the chinese or the maori
20. If Israel has any
(11.24.10)
The article says that "Archaeology has shown that the Western Wall, the holiest place where Jews can pray, is a remnant of the biblical Temple compound." That's odd because the wall isn't even mentioned in Jewish literature until the middle ages, and many unbiased scholars believe it is a structure erected by the Byzantines.
21. nasrine abdel nour , ((( Beirut ?!?
Crusader   (11.24.10)
Just because there has been an uninterrupted muslim (((occupying ))) presence in lebanon for 1430 years, doesn't mean you own the place.
22. Jeruslam does not appear in the Quran.
(11.24.10)
23. #6 .. and just because muslims conquered jerusalem some hund
eporue ,   europe   (11.24.10)
reds of years ago, doesnt mean you own the place... say nasrine. you are taking a religion their holiest site away, because your prophet allegedly dreamt having been there ? and he didnt even name the city... is this enough for you, to steal other peoples property, and murder (intifadas) ?
24. all I can say is
Ilana   (11.24.10)
now everyone can see what they are full off. No response from any official? Well perhaps there is a limit as to how low one can stoop. If someone said I pooped a diamond, I would just stare at him and know he was batty.
25. Shame on the ISRAELI & U.S Government for trying to
Joe Black ,   NYC   (11.24.10)
How dare the US & Israeli government try to force feed this farce of a peace process down their nation's throats. This worthless peace treaty shouldn't even be used as toilet paper! How can you be fooled to sign a treaty when your partner in peace is spitting in your face and not even respecting your holy of holies? Who cares what the rest of the world or UN thinks, we know who's side they are on. Now that the snake has once again shown it's real face it's time to pull out of all agreements with the PA. Focus your efforts on making peace between knesset parties instead. Happy Thanksgiving!
26. western wall holiest site
eporue ,   europe   (11.24.10)
i read somewhere, the western is holiest atm, because its closest to the dome of the rock - which is THE holiest site in judasim... - and still occupied by muslims... the walls around the temple mount were erected later ?
27. right is right.
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.24.10)
