instead of : after Israel conquered you should have written : after Israel LIBERATED !
2. jerusalem liberated in 1967

not 'conquered' and ynet knows better...the article is otherwise credible so hellenists at ynet try to make 'conquered' credible in this way...gen sharon approved this project in 2000..left still mad!
3. The Hurva rebuilt
Neal ,   Minneapolis USA   (12.25.11)
Who says there's never any good news? On a study-group trip to Israel in 1995, our rabbis led us in a small service in the ruins of the Hurva. On a trip in 2008, my wife and I came to the nearby square and I hardly could believe my eyes: The Hurva was being rebuilt! (I had to ask someone to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was.) Thanks to Ynet, I now have a picture of the inside; maybe I can see it all for myself on my next visit, "Conquered" or "liberated" doesn't matter -- although I favor "liberated" -- as much as the fact that the decades-old reminder of loss has been replaced by rebuilding. It represents the story of the last 63 years.
