You said ... “Israel should surround the Al Aqsa Mosque with explosives, and declare that the very next Muslim attack on Israel or on Israelis will bring the destruction of the Mosque.”
One thing we should clear up here ... In Israel’s own laws they are committed to protecting all religious sites - Muslims, Christians or Jews equally. Israel is the ONLY COUNTRY in the Middle East so committed to doing so.
Also, as part of the original “Palestine Mandate” from the League of Nations, the religious rights of all religious groups were designated to be protected. When Israel declared independence in 1948” and the war started, Israel urged all the Arabs to NOT FLEE because they were not going to harm them. Israel said they wanted them as citizens in the new country.
Right now, the civil and voting rights of all Arabs in Israel (they are full fledged citizens) are FULLY PROTECTED as much as any Jewish citizen. The Arabs have their own legislators in the Knesset. Also, there is an Arab who is on Israel’s Supreme Court. The Arab population of Israel is 20%.
Israel is ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED to preserving the religious rights and shrines of all citizens in Israel!
Yeah...and where has that policy got them?
Better to go back to Old Testament standards and tactics.
