1. The Temple Mount
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (02.26.14)
The Muslim attitude and actions are exactly what I would expect. But, Israel's policies are absurd! Israel is permitting those who sought to destroy it, who Israel had to defeat in battle in order to survive, to set access requirements for Jewish Holy Sites. Yes, there are Muslim Holy Sites, as well, but let the Muslims worry about that. It is time that Israel concerns itself with the Jewish Holy Sites. Israel should implant explosives around the Al Aqsa Mosque, and declare that any further Muslim attacks on Israel will bring the destruction of the Mosque. The Mullahs, who incite the attacks, will have the choice of issuing Fatwas prohibiting any attacks, or, they can see their Mosque destroyed. If the strategy is successful, then Israel will enjoy a respite from Muslim attacks. If it is not successful, then Israel will be no worse off than it is now, surrounded by Muslims in Muslim countries who want to destroy it. And, Israel can clear the site, and commence reconstruction of the Jewish Temple.
2. Do it, Cancel it! see us shaking in our boots?
Ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (02.26.14)
It will only cause the Palestinian negotiations to fail because it will justify our need to stay in the Jordan valley to protect ourselves from our newest threat, the Jordanians! Not to mention, without the peace treaty, we no longer have to provide you with all that desalinated water you guys enjoy so much in your part of the desert! And last but now least, anyone with a a Jordanian passport and citizenship will no longer be able to cross Israeli borders, and that's pretty much all the Palestinians! so Yes,if you think peace with us was solely for our benefit, i invite you to cancel it and find out! First thing that will happen is your Jordanian temple mount Waqf well get his butt booted back to where he belongs!
3. Stuck Record.
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (02.26.14)
This is mine!. No, it's mine! Sounds like two children arguying. I guess that is what is happening when religion plays such an overwhelming role in people's lives. We never learn from history. We let priests, rabbis, and imans do our thinking for us. What does it lead to, MORE WARS.
4. The issue has nothing to do with israel
Jordan   (02.26.14)
They are trying to defy the King and they think they can do that with this subject.
5. No Israeli envoy?
A ,   Belgium   (02.26.14)
No water, no gas, no trade. No problem, just lots of repatriated Jordanian citizens returning home!
6. No Peace NO GAS Jordan!
Jim Yakamoto ,   My Country   (02.26.14)
Get some from the Palestinians!
7. Jordan you are ridiculous
Adi ,   Zurich   (02.26.14)
Jordan you are ridiculous
8. No Feiglin - The temple mount is NOT ours
Yeoshua F. ,   N.Y   (02.26.14)
It belongs to the Muslims. It has 2 mosques on it, if you haven´t noticed. We have no religious temple whatsoever on the mount. We use the wailing wall, otherwise known as ¨Al Buraq¨ which was an external wall to the temple complex and is where Mohammed tied his donkey while waiting to go up to heaven. The temple mount was ours 2000 years ago, but we began a war thinking we could take take on the world´s greatest powers (sounds familiar doesn´t it ?), and lost. The temple was destroyed, and we lost the rights to use the temple mount. We lost. End of story.
9. Holy Sites
Tom ,   Tornto   (02.26.14)
