The Temple was destructed by causeless hatred among the Jews. It can be reconstructed by causeless love. Wouldn t it be nice if we all get along? We can do it.

... Then Israel has the power to rebuild the Temple (but chooses not to). Oh, what has become of us!

they just want to drink their coffee and go home!!!!!

Provocation and anger comes when you pay for a stupid TV licence for crappy Channel 11 and they stop broadcasting Olympic games at 8pm and through Tisha B'Av - which, lets face it, is a minor holiday for those who want to starve and cry for two temples that were destroyed a gazillion years ago. I pay for my license to watch the occassional crap on Channel 11, not for them to tell me I cannot watch certain programs, because I should be observing this fast. Sod that - thank God for Eurosport.

because in Jerusalem there is nothing called "Temple Mount".

Al-Aqsa mosque complex and East Jerusalem are Palestinian's. 1.5 billions Muslims from 50+ states are ready to defend it.

Get over it !

Salma I think your part right part wrong There is no Temple Mount but there is also no Al Axa Mosque .. that was the worlds first attempt at religious tourism built for the locals who were unable to go to Mecca. There is however הר הבית ( Har Habayit ) translated directly into English would The Home Mountain not Temple Mount. The home is the Temple.

And exactly where alaqsa was.

Pretty flippant remark from someone who signs off from a location that exists only in their fevered imagination. Your statement reflects the arrogance typically displayed by your corrupt leaders in its brazen dishonesty and complete lack of veracity. Honestly I almost feel sorry for you as all you have are your delusions.

But let's not quibble.

because in this region there is nothing called "Palestine".

What will jews do in with a Third Temple? Surely not reinstating animal sacrifices which seems to belong so far in the past? Isn't building a thrid temple a metaphor for creating a more just society, locally and nationally?

the enemies of zion have triumphed.

My child asked me, while we were watching the replay of the Olympic opening ceremony to show him Palestine on the world map. I looked and I looked and I looked but I couldn't find it anywhere

It was Moshe Dayan that chose to give the Muslims control of Temple Mount, they didn't take it off us. Since then no politician on the left or right has dared challenge the authority of the Waqf. They have for decades been allowing the Waqf to dig up the site and chuck the archeology into a giant garbage dump and we have done nothing but condemn it. If somebody tried to destroy the Deizengof fountain in Tel Aviv they would have been arrested in minutes but as long as they are Muslims & its Temple Mount its ok to turn a blind eye. The Mugrabe Bridge is unsafe & needs to be replace but because the Waqf object it won't be replaced and the old rickety wooden one will remain at least until it collapses & people are killed. Jews have regularly been banned from visiting Temple Mount whats going on today is not unique. If Israel is going to discriminate against Jews and allow the site to be dug up and turn a blind eye then maybe to create an international body & gove soverignty of the site to them.i I don't want to see that happen but the future of the site and not allowing Jews to be discriminated against must come first and if Israel won't them maybe we need to create a body that will.

Israeli authorities do not have the power to build the Third Temple. The Temple is linked to Messianic times and involves many complicated Halachic issues. We're nearly there, but not yet.

...to come down to earth, quickly now, and crash on the heads of the would-be temple-builders!!!

instead of pagan ones and the problem is solved.

No Jews at Temple Mount; No Temples at Jewish Mount. What else is new?

REALLY,now go back to your dreams

In Honor Of Ha Shem As The Last Two! Don't worry you can come to the Opening Ceremony and See how to Honor One True Living G-D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ברוך הא שם

I think the mount should be converted into a civil park, a leisure centre with a swimming pool and annexe to the Biblical zoo...to give the animals more space and replace the current human zoo there.

There is already a Gospel according to Mark. You need not write your own. It may be helpful to read the one that already exist though. However, don't do as most Christians do and only read the new. If you study the true Tanach you will find that everything you said is a lie. You may choose to continue in your religion of humanism in which case your opinion counts for zilch.

As a mutual Zionist forever, I agree with everything you say! These are the kind of actions that destroy support for Israel abroad. I for one fully and completely support the Jewish people within the borders of Eretz Israel and throughout the world. However, I cannot continue to support the secular government in existence today in Israel. I pray the Jewish people take back their State from this corrupt government and put in place one that are true Zionist.

It would mean bringing back the office of Cohen haGadol. Having one central temporal figure is what they do in Catholicism. I don't want to see this in Judaism. Hopefully the fast is over by the time this is published! I hope everyone had an easy fast.

temple or king david. Only proof is oral tales called the bible.
