Freedom of Religion

RISHON LEZION, Israel -- Over the past several days of the Succot holiday, Palestinian and Israeli Arabs have been rioting in the Old City of Jerusalem because they heard that some Jews wanted to pray on the Temple Mount.

Maybe I am missing a detail, but why cannot both Jews and Muslims pray on the Temple Mount? Why are Jews banned from doing so?

On a related subject, why do most two-state solutions call for the expulsion of all or most Jewish settlers from the West Bank? Why would Jews be banned from there? If Israel wanted to expel all Arabs from Israel, there would be numerous international condemnations.

What happened to freedom of religion? Why cannot both Jews and Muslims pray on the Temple Mount? Why cannot all residents of a future State of Palestine practice whatever religion they wish? As I have written, Jews should be allowed to stay in the West Bank -- but they and their settlements would, as is fair, fall under the jurisdiction of the State of Palestine.

    On a related sub­ject, why do most two-state solu­tions call for the expul­sion of all or most Jew­ish set­tlers from the West Bank? Why would Jews be banned from there?”

    Is it really that they would be banned from there? Or is it just that they would have to give back all the land they STOLE.  (Quote)

    koy­aanisqatsi — Would you say the same about the Romans? Brits? Ottomans? You need to learn his­tory, since it is quite obvi­ous that you have absolutely no under­stand­ing of the Mid­dle East and pol­i­tics in gen­eral.  (Quote)

    I would say the same about thieves of any stripe. How­ever, lets stick to Israeli ter­ri­tory thieves for the moment, since that’s per­ti­nent to the thread.

    It seems quite obvi­ous that you’re not going to be the one to teach me his­tory — or you would have made a start by now. And the same goes for my under­stand­ing of the Mid­dle East and pol­i­tics in general.

    Any­one can write what you did. Yours was a point­less, use­less post.

    Israel must remain within its orig­i­nal ter­ri­to­r­ial bounds, or risk los­ing cred­i­bil­ity with respect to its right to exist.  (Quote)
