Although I think they are wrong by JEWISH law, I cannot understand why you would be bigotted against Jews? Why should they not have the right to go to a Jewish holysite? Just because the Arabs Muslims squatted on sacred Jewish territory is no reason to ban Jews from the site. Do you have a problem with Jews' exercising their rights? Only Arabs should have rights, but Jews not? Such overt hatred for Jews is rather shocking on FR.

I do NOT hate Jews.

I would argue that learned Jews would have even more doubt than I regarding the wisdom/appropriateness of this upcoming event.

This is probably "happier news" to EnD-Time Christians than to Jews.

Clearly this event will not simplify Zinni's work.

I don't think Phil V has a problem with Israelis exercising their rights anywhere and anyhow they wish on Israeli territory.

He does seem to feel that Israelis celebrating exclusivist rituals on illegally occupied territory is an arrogant and imprudent course of action likely to lead to further bloodshed. In which, of course, he is right.
