Cannot be done. The sites are under the direction if not the Isreali government, then of the different faith communities.
That is true, the Koran NEVER ONCE mentions Jerusalam.
That could be why Obama played the game with the Arab world when he had that recent interview, play on their edmotions.
Yes he did tell me this in His Word:
Concerning Isaac through whom the Jewish people trace their lineage:
Genesis 17:18,19 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shall call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
Concerning Ishmael through whom the Moslems trace their lineage:
“Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son; you shall call his name Ishmael; because The Lord has given heed to your affliction. He shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against every man and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.” (Genesis 16:11-12)
The elimination of Jewish control over the site of the Holy Temples will utterly demoralize Israel, and hasten the destruction of whatever is left of it by the Arabs who simply don't recognize ANY sovereignty over that land other than their own.
Also, I'm at least grateful to the Arabs that they are VERY trustworthy - once you know their ultimate goal (taking over every square inch of Earth and killing everyone who refuses to convert), then they are amazingly consistent. Every single action, whether it is highly agressive or seemingly a retreat into reasonableness, serves a purpose. They're aggressive/murderous when they can be, passive and rather docile when someone else has a loaded gun at their head - you think that Lenin invented that stuff about pushing when a bayonet encounters soft flesh and pulling it out when it hits bone???
I just think that the Vatican might provide a good model for the administration of the Holy Land and that by removing that burr we might be able to finally shut the Muslims up.
How is Vatican City a model for Jerusalem? No other religion has ever claimed the land where it sits, and the country which surrounds it is one of the most Catholic in the world. That's no model, any more than Bernie Madoff is a good model of honest dealing in the investment world.
"...shut the Muslims up." Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Simply won't happen. Our grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren will still be hearing their bellie-aching, should these descendants of ours ever live and worship as we do.
I respect your desire to find a peaceful solution, but there simply isn't one. American Presidents would do well do devote their energies to attempting to solve problems capable of being solved, like conjuring up rainbow-farting unicorns to fix our fatally-wounded economy.
All Jews, especially Republican Jews, must express their outrage that the Muslim Messiah is selling out Israel and sucking up to America’s enemies, Muslims that want to destroy Israel and who hate the USA. I find his disgusting display of treason yesterday to be reprehensible. I can only imagine how the parents of dead and wounded American soldiers felt yesterday to witness the POTUS sucking up to and apologizing to our enemies. OMG, our forefathers are truly turning in their graves in disgust. How the American people sit idly by while Liberals destroy our country is beyond me.
Yes.
You must like David Drake too.
I don’t care about other people’s claims to Jerusalem, only ours.
& we can always dig up some Makkawi tzaddik & we just have to build a shrine for him & the place just has to be internationalized so we can go on our pilgrimages to pray at his shrine. Maybe after that we’ll also consider internationalizing Jerusalem - & then reject it anyway.
LOL. Wow. I most humbly take back my UN troll accusation. My apologies.
:-)
Could you point out where in the Koran Jerusalem is mentioned as a site sacred to Islam?
Murder and pillage..
There is no "beyond" psychotic Muslims. They are the obstacle -- their existence eliminates the possiblity of peace anywhere, period. Appeasing them doesn't work, and "internationalizing" Jerusalem would be doing just that. In fact, it would give the jihadis encouragement that their terrorist methods bring tangible results politically. ...and they've had quite enough encouragement already.
Never happen. Obama will ask for another wavier.
Then for those of us who are not scholars of Islam, what is the basis of Islam’s claim?
Thanks for reminding us of that sad episode..
Terrorist attacks in Jerusalem are extraordinarily rare, so nothing would change. Jihadi attacks on the usual targets (Tel-Aviv, Haifa, Netanya etc.) wouldn't be prevented by an "internationalized" Jerusalem.
