But they will never dare to put themselves in a position where they must face the Israeli Army... They are the worlds number one cowards.

and "convinced him to allow Jews to settle freely in the Persian Empire". It is both sad and shocking how ignorant of our heritage the writer of this story is. Besides this article is written like somebody from Uganda would write about the Temple Mount and our connection to it.

So this guy in the picture looks like Franco Harris (an American Football star) , dresses in his mom's bed sheets and spills ketchup all over them. So what? They want? Give them some quid pro quo and see how much Israeli land the're willing to let go of.

and why should we believe in someone we have never seen?muhamad has never been to jerusalem,he never ever knew it existed a place called the kingdom of Salomom...But those students know Esther existed and Israel existed befor muhamad was a little sperm....

You must be using Arab math again, so common among "Palestinians"...where 20 killed equals a "genocide". Idiot. Tons of Islamic and Christian sites are actually protected under Israeli rule while under Arab rule both Jewish and Christian sites were destroyed or turned into false Muslim sites. Funny how if Ester was a traitor, that the Persians still found it fit under Cyrus the Great to honor the Jews and grant them return to rebuild their temple. The likes of you should be more concerned with your Mullahs and Nasrallah, who happened to say that "there is no Persian culture, only Arab". So far, your Arab leaders have destroyed Persian cities inside Iran, attacked Zoroastrians, and singled out B'hais for extinction. Purim is and always will be a joyous occasion. Just like the wars in 1948, 1967, and 1973 - "they tried to wipe us Jews out, they failed, let's eat".

If you haven't examined the tombs for yourself, it only proves that your skull is as empty as you are claiming the tombs to be

Hitler falls into the same catagory and Iran is the Nazi regime. This is what the people of the World see today as Europeans vividly express their hatred towards all muslims. The war has begun and payback is a right

"It is the holiest site in the world for Jews, who believe it was the location of the Second Temple..."...who BELIEVE it was the location...are you kidding...what is this a bit of Iranian revisionism? Are we even lose the semantic battle for Jerusalem...? Stop being apologists.

I've rarely seen worse journalism. The Temple Mount was where the first and second Temples stood: that's why the Muslim shrines are there in the first place. It's not what Jews "believe". It's history. And Esther persuaded Ahasuerus not to massacre Jews. It had nothing to do with settlement.

I'm used to seeing the Dome of the Rock in articles about al-Aqsa from Arab sources, but to see the same ignorange in an Israeli newspaper is depressing. Apparently, everyone thinks that the golden dome makes it al-Aqsa. The al-Aqsa mosque is nothing more than a converted Byzantine church with a leaden dome added, and there's nothing remarkable about it. Maybe that's why Arabs make that mistake.

Considering the heathens that occupy Iran. These are the same thugs that beat old women in the streets.

build on the ruins of the temple Cyrus the great help to built, as for Ester she began festivals for the persian people, xerxes order it, and hanging 7 people is not a genocide, you just used to the gov brain wash you to think it was.

Looks like the article was written by an ignoramus for a non-Jewish audience. The "facts" are incorrect and biased against the Jewish people As Israel has never done anything against Al Aqsa or any other mosque, the tombs of Esther and Mordechai should be just fine.

Yo Yisraeli, you retard, it is in the Quran. Please read before you write.

or your nobetter than the one you said didn't read

al aqusa al yahud, yahud aka jews, even the koran claim it to belong not to muslim, ever since the pali want to grab some land, they changed the koran to suit it to their political gain, they erased the fact that al yahud in the end and they erased the fact that the place is third holy to them, they also not mention that in jerusalem they r praying with their faces toward Meca and ignores the fact the Muhamad had jewish wife, and jews should get full respect when it comes to their only holly site.

Abu Ali, I wonder you have this fancy name.The Muslims who do empty tombs and empty graves.What you believe in BLACK STONE?

Actually all that is said is as follows, "Praise be to him who did take His Servant for Journey by night, from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did Bless - in order that We might show him some of our Signs." Well, if that's what you claim as proof of Jerusalem then you are rather misguided in your understanding. But if you were to read any of YOUR hadith, you would know that the Farthest Mosque is not PHYSICAL, it is with G-d. Therefore, spare me your nonsense about Jerusalem being in the Quran because it isn't. Not even the original name or the words city of David are either. You are making up things again.

Haman = Hamenei Amazing, the supreme leader is from the house of Haman. Do not tell me it is coincidence Ben

firstly - do you know what Genocide is? Haman and his corrupt greedy sons might be heros to you, but they do not make up "genocide". Secondly, Jews have never destroyed historical sites - even our beloved temple mount still has your mosques on it. Muslims however continuously destroy other religious sites.

the arab punks just aint giving Esther her rest. Don't the punks know that Queen Esther just plain aint there. All the punks will find is perhaps a few shrunk up bones, i.e. if they're lucky!

are always ready to make trouble. These are the same "rent-a-crowd" folks whose job is to make a lot of noise mixed with making outrageous statements - not unlike most of the extremist who run the government in Israel. This is just bunch of kids shouting and wearing costumes, that's all.

Unless you're proposing it's the US that has to lose a lot of her youth to keep Israel "happy"! Are you?

As Iranian, I apologize to all Israelis friends for uncivil behave of those fanatic protesters who threatened to destroy the mausoleum of Queen Esther and Mordechai in Iran; it is tough time but believe me this is not real face of Iran, actually IRG hijacked our country but I am sure that we overcome the crisis soon, please wait for the time we collapse them and free Iran - viva Israel and free Iran

Queen esther is smiling- thankyou
