The highlight of my 1986 visit to Israel was Jerusalem. Our group was able to visit the Western Wall, and it was awesome (and I’m not Jewish!). I remember telling our Israeli guide our last night in Israel, “Tzur, don’t you ever let them take away this place from the Jewish people again”. Back then, the thought that “them” would be an Israeli Prime Minister and his cohorts was beyond the realm of imagination. Olmert and his crew of nincompoops (I have to use a word that won’t get me banned) disgust me beyond words, but I love Israel and Jerusalem with all my heart, as I’ve done for the past 40 years!
Try to imagine standing at the Western Wall trying to pray while arab youths are above you throwing down rocks and bottles because Jordan has complete authority of the Temple mount, G-d forbid. Or perhaps Olmert has more in mind... imagine not being able to enter the Old City at all, because it’s declared off-limits to infidels, like other supposed holy sites of Islam.
