31. And another thought somehow related to this subject:
Keren ,   IL-BR   (06.02.11)
Turist guides in Israel should be only Jewish and tell Jewish History only. Christian or Muslim guides in Israel should not have licences to work in this sector . Pilgrims who come from other countries can bring along their own guides , but these can not be from Israel,unless these pilgrims are willing to listen our own history told by our Jewish professionals. Tourist guides in Israel,when muslims or christians,do an enourmous dis-service for our own. They work against us from within. It is obvious that such thing must be supressed by law in Israel.
32. Move it or call the wrecker.
Gabe Yakmore ,   Canada   (06.02.11)
If the Old London Bridge could be transferred to Lake Havasu City without difficulty, then moving Al Aqsa from the Temple Mount should be just as easy.
33. First pray at home. Then pray in a synagogue.
observer   (06.02.11)
Then, after 50 years of that, you may think of praying on the Temple Mount.
34. Now or never
Simon ,   Malha   (06.02.11)
If the Jews want to ensure their future in Israel they need to secure the Temple, June 2011 is the month they should do it - unless Jerusalem is not the capital and the Temple is not the focal point of their history. If we do not claim the Temple, then we do not deserve Israel and so then the land of Palestine should be raised on our state and it will be unless we rise now.
35. #5 #21 too late
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (06.02.11)
Always blaming Israel for being attacked by the Arabs is getting boring and nothing to do with the truth. The fact is that another war is inevitable because the Arabs have been planning one for years. Hamas and Hezbollah are armed to the teeth and Dayton's army are itching to kill Jews (that's what happened to Livnat at Joseph's Tomb). Paradoxically, the only thing delaying the next war is the "Arab Spring": Iran is worried for Assad, Hezbolla troops are on stand-by to intervene in Syria. Hamas doesn't want to risk their new alliance with Egypt and the Saudis are afraid that any instability will spill over to their corrupt kingdom.
36. observer Al Aqsa Mosque was not built yet when Mohammad died
Daniela   (06.02.11)
this is history. Mohammad could bot reach Jerusalem from Damascus in 1 day on a horse. do you agree with me that it was impossible?
37. observer islam was born to erase judaism
Daniela   (06.02.11)
it is so clear when you read the Quran. you will never erase us and Israel will live forever as the only jewish state in the world!
38. #36,37 learning history in Yeshiva?
observer ,   Egypt   (06.02.11)
Mohammad went so many times to Levant in commercial caravans, it was the custom of his tribe to make annual trips to both Levant and Yemen. Jerusalem was in the Heart of Levant and merchants must had been there in every trip. When Mohamed told the pagans of Makkah of his night journey, they never questioned the existence of Masjid al-Aqsa. Jews were there, and it would had been their Golden opportunity to de-legitimize Mohammed if THE Masjid was not there. In no where in the Quraan, Muslims are instructed to erase Jews for good reason that Muslims are strictly instructed to coexist with Ahlulkitab (Christians & Jews).
39. Temple Mount Prayer
RC ,   USA   (06.02.11)
In Psalms 148 King David who was also a prophet, commanded Israel to praise יהוה by his name which was given to Moses. Who do you listen to then, the proper prophets or Rabbis not declared prophets which have misled the people into believing it is a sin to declare the Creators name out loud. Praise יהוה and bless Israel, and may Israel have the courage and pride to properly call upon Elohim by his name יהוה, HalleluYah.
40. Right to Pray
Pixelated Dwarf ,   usa   (06.02.11)
Having the right to pray whenever and wherever we wish (Temple mount, Joseph's Tomb and other holy sites) should be protected as a right in Israel. No one should take that right away.
41. observer #38 you lied again
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (06.02.11)
Why don't you try learning to read. Jerusalem was occupied by the Christians and no Mohammad ever went to Jerusalem. They did not allow any Arab caravans in during their occupation and there was not a single mosque in Jerusalem until AFTER Mohammad was dead. Those are facts, not Arab lies.
42. About Jerusalem Day (Video) !!

43. to #29- Mohamend never was on temple Mount
Ya'akov ,   Los Angeles,CA   (06.03.11)
1) MO "night journey" was described as a dream- i.e not physical 2) In the dream he traveled to Al- Aksa (The furthest Mosque ) . In his time period the furthest Mosque was still within the boundaries of what would latter be called Saudi Arabia.
44. #8 Sorry, where is Palestine??
Phil ,   Ireland   (06.03.11)
I can't find it in the Koran or the Bible. I can't find it in my atlas either. Is it like Disneyland or Never Neverland?
45. unwinding dearabization
observer ,   Egypt   (06.04.11)
If the Jews claim a right of return to their property, the Palestinians will claim a right of return to theirs in West Jerusalem. Are Jews ready to live as minority under foreign rule?, Palestinians would.
46. Prayer on the temple mount
Toviah ,   Rep of South Africa   (06.04.11)
Joh 4:20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you say that in Yerushalayim is the place where people ought to worship." John 4:21 Yeshua said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Yerushalayim, will you worship the Father.
47. End the discrimination at the Temple Mount
RC ,   USA   (06.04.11)
Anyone that tries to take away Jerusalem from Israel will have to contend with Elohim because He himself has stated it in (Zechariah 12). No one can change what יהוה stated. Jerusalem is part of Yahudah (יהוּדה) in which is the name of יהוה (YAHUWAH) (1Kings 11:31). Now Israel and Yahudah are becoming one (Ezekiel 37, Jeremiah 3). Pray in the Tempe mount, those were the wishes of King David for Israel and no one has the right to deny Jews that right because the Temple Mount was, is, and will be a part of Israel. HalleluYah (Psalms 147).
48. You are the confused one
Varda Shohat ,   Haifa   (06.05.11)
The paratroopers had the right reaction. They went to the place hallowed by thousands of years of living Jewish tradition. The Temple is a fossil of our distant past and such it should stay.
49. True. Jews MUST pray in Temple Mount.
John ,   NY, NY   (06.06.11)
*sigh* Why don't they do it?
50. Mohammad
Joe ,   Newtown USA   (12.30.11)
founder of Islam... was in the Al Asqa mosque built before there was a Muslim religion. Does this make one wonder ?? who came first the chicken or the egg.
