2. Very little information here Israel needs new Gates
Wall500VS3000 ,   Jerusalem   (10.13.19)
The New Gate 1889 the Turks punched a hole in the ancient gates
For Christians in 1897 the tore down part of the wall at Jaffa Gate
To allow the Kaiser of Germany to enter in his carriage we need a new gate for Jews to enter to the Kotel other than the ” Dung Gate” which is a degrading name for Jews to have to enter through you know of course what another word for “ dung” is ...
There should be a more respectable named Gate for Jews to enter to the Kotel
Holes have been punched in the 500 year old walls before ..Ben Gurion
Wanted to tear “ down the Turkish walls “ altogether maybe rebuild the wall line along the older Biblical wall lines ..
3. Stupid scribbling

The article ends in a silly crescendo - "Palestinians want East Jerusalem, where the Old City is located, as the capital of a state they seek to establish in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip." Usual set-phrase of lazy and pathetic journalism, and it is used in a form of a throat clearing exercise everywhere, CNN, BBC, Sky News, Yedioth Ahronot, if this is said on the TV news channels, the news anchors strike a sad posture and make a sad expression on their faces to emphasize their grief.
