3. Great job! & the walk on the top of the walls is great!

Another wonderful job by Israel I look forward to seeing seeing it again. I recommend the walk on top of the walls, its a great perspective and there's no traffic up there. AP stated that the Romans 'destroyed the Temple in 70 a.d.' i.e. 'anno domini' - year of our lord. AP needs to catch up to the conventional practice of not assuming everyone to be a Christian and use the term C.E. i.e common era.
4. While they're at it
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.25.11)
Can we get them to remove all the mosques off of our Temple Mount too?
5. Arab/Moslem ("Palestinian") and Christian presence in..
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (08.25.11)
..the Old City is a provokation of the highest order to the Jewish people. If this is supposedly the heart of our civilization, then how on God's green earth can we even allow a single mosque or church stand inside the Old City? And how can we allow Moslems/Arabs selling Arab jewelry containing words of "Allah" and "Mohammed"? If this is OUR city, it must be culturally, demographically and physically dominated by Jews/Israelis in every sense of the word - in the same way as the Forbidden City in Beijing is CHINESE, and the Imperial Palace of Tokyo is JAPANESE, Mecka and Medina are MOSLEM and the Vatican is CHRISTIAN. We Jews will NOT share the Old City with other nations or religions. Jerusalem is OURS and OURS ALONE. Enough with this nonsense. Have Jews endured 2000 years in the Diaspora and the Holocaust just to find the Old City in the hands of non-Jews, arguing with us Jews about the ownership of this city?!
6. Stop re-writing history!
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.25.11)
history say you can't wipe the history of Palestinians ( land of Canaan). just because Jews live on lands and build shit doesn't make it their land .
7. Are You Kidding Me?
Sloane ,   PA, USA   (08.25.11)
"Inside the gate, Palestinian vendors change money and sell watches and colorful dresses hung on the massive Turkish iron doors, and much of the work was carried out at night so as not to interfere with business." These men are not Palestinian, unless Ynet has given away the country. They are Israeli Arabs.
8. Salma #6 LMAO!
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.26.11)
You invented your entire 'history'. Ours happens to be back up with nothing but facts and yours - all lies.
9. Re-writing history??!
Stephen ,   San Antonio, USA   (08.27.11)
And you can't wipe out the fact that the Jews have been in this Land 1,000s of years before your prophet was even born. The so-called Palestinians in the Land of Canaan were pagans and have NO connection to the semetic people who became the Arabs. Quit reading your Hamas propaganda and start reading History, fool.
