1. What does the holy tomb of the Jewish king David have to do
Moshe   (06.02.15)
with Xtians? Don't Xtians have enough of their own places to worship?
2. Devorah Chayah Shem Tov on facebook, well said
Moshe   (06.02.15)
3. so much 4: "my house is a house of prayer 4 all people"....
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (06.02.15)
these Jews DO NOT represent G-d, they are forces of darkness...and unfortunately they seem to be winning. It makes me sad...because co-existence and ecumenical ways are fast disappearing from our lives.
4. when will the police remove muslims preventing jews
(06.02.15)
from praying at the temple mount?
5. Coincidence ?
Gabe ,   Canada   (06.02.15)
Latin was the language of the hated occupiers of Israel then, and the language of choice of the Vatican now. Why don't they speak Hebrew if their leader was a Jew ?
6. Take freedom for Jewish Worship to Bagat
Roland ,   london England   (06.02.15)
7. Fight the Judeofascists
Dan   (06.02.15)
Speaking as a Jewish Israeli, these madmen must be fought every single time they try to impose their religion and will on others.
8. @4 when it pleases PM Netanyahu 2 do so!
(06.02.15)
Really, PM Netanyahu has the power to order the police to allow self-centered violent Jews to pray on the Temple Mount...thing is, he still hasn't figured out how to get a cut on the sacrifices ... you see PM Netanyahu isn't a Cohen...so he won't get any.
9. @4 how is this relevant to violent Jews at a X-tian site?
(06.02.15)
I have this feeling that when we learn how to share others will want to share with us.
10. @9
Avi L.   (06.02.15)
Bleeding heart nonsense "when we learn how to share others will want to share with us. " Plain nonsense. Muslim don't want to share anything. Did they share Joseph's tomb? Did they share the Kotel when it was under their control? Do they share the Har haBayit? What we have to do is not to give more reasons to hate us. Do we want more enemies?
11. all that's needed is for an IDF recruiter to appear - then
Rafi ,   US   (06.02.15)
watch the heredi bullies/ thugs scatter...
12. Tomb Of David
Captain Brig ,   Shalimar USA   (06.03.15)
So, the Jews are no different than the Muslims: ...the Muslims try to block the Jews from praying on the temple mount / the Jews try to block the Christians from praying at the tomb of David... ...we're all such pathetic creatures that can't get along with one another!
13. True Christianity has no Earthly Hope !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.03.15)
False Christianity battles for posession of Earthly things. Thrue Christianitys only Hope is The Heavenly Jerusalem, who is free and the Mother of all True Christians. Arn.Sweden.
14. Thank you Ynet for Clearing up the Misunderstanding
Norm L Jew ,   Galut   (06.04.15)
'Christian worshipers and Jewish protestors'....that tells us everything about this author and this journal's perspective on the legitimacy of Judaism and Israel as our holy Land. The message is clear---they both consider Jews usurpers rather than the recipients of the Torah and the Covenant. Thanks--nice to have a clear confession about their unbridled anti-Semitism.
15. Meanwhile the gold King David idol is ignored: HYPOCRITES!
Bill ,   Los Angeles   (06.04.15)
16. He's indeed an awesome G-d!!!!!
(06.04.15)
If the hope that we have earthly things on this earth then we are all men most miserable.
17. **Landlords and Landladies**
(06.04.15)
Many are landlords in the CEMETERY, many are tenants in the MORTUARY, many are candidates of OBITUARY; But we are here, worshiping in His SANCTUARY.
18. Great pun!
Barry Hirsh ,   Miami FL USA   (06.04.15)
"Vatican representatives denied the claims and referred to the incident as “grave'." Oh, that's GOOD!
19. gee whiz
iselin ,   oslo   (06.04.15)
And how many chips are on the shoulders of the fundamentalists? They don't seem to remember that those who invented their precious laws thought that the earth was flat. When I read arguments by such contentious people, who would rather believe in fairy tales than try to make peace on this earth, the only one we've got (Shalom anyone?), I am so glad that I am an atheist.
20. maybe it would be smart to not call vatican catholics
christians   (06.05.15)
i am guessing that most actual christians dont like the idea of the vatican conducting catholic rituals at jewish religious sites
21. It is NOT the tomb of David, anyway
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.26.15)
The Bible says that Mount Zion is the same as the City of David, and that David was buried there. Now we know that this means the area south of the Temple Mount, but in the Middle Ages the original site was forgotten and Christian pilgrims mistakenly located Mount Zion elsewhere, i.e. as what is today - wrongly - called Mount Zion. As for the so-called Tomb of David, it is basically a Crusader building, as the architecture also testifies. So this is a case of Jews wrongly identifying a holy site on the basis of mistaken Christian beliefs. Hillel Weiss, an emeritus professor of modern Hebrew literature, needs to learn some history, archaeology and architecture. By the way, the story fails to make it clear that the Catholics pray only in the Upper Room, never in the so-called tomb.
22. The number of times religion has.....
Robert ,   Australia   (06.30.15)
.....shown itself to be pure hokus pokus is beyond belief.
