The Israelis rightfully deserve their Hurva Synagogue reopened in the Old City of Jerusalem.

The Palestinians - aka the House of Esau - cannot get any more outraged...

...it shows they are not natives of the Holy Land, but immigrant Arabs brought into the Holy Land when the British Army led by General Allenby captured the Holy Land in November 1917.

The only thing that Israelis COULD do that would NOT “anger” Palestinians — is die.

Whoa wait. The a-rabs destroyed a synagogue? NO WAY! That can't be possible at all! They are the most peaceful and tolerant people to have ever walked the earth after all. IT MUST HAVE BEEN A JEWISH PLOT TO BLOW UP THEIR OWN SYNAGOGUE.

It’s hard to believe that I live in an era when this is a headline at all.

Worse yet is that no government in the West dares to challenge the perpertually-outraged Palestinians to sit down and shut the $@$@# up.

In a just world those opposed to this synagogue reopening would be branded as rabid antisemite idiots, and then shunned and ignored.

Quite an intriguing building. A chapel on each floor as well as under the dome?

A picture is worth a thousand words...If you will notice, the Israeli’s have allowed a minaret to survive intact...it is attached and still allowed to call for prayers—by Israeli law, no religious building or symbol is allowed to be destroyed. I only pray the that the G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob remove the obcenities that exist on G-d’s Holy Mountain...

" coexistence " ......
Not in the liberal, one world religion people's mind....

Have you ever seen those bumper stickers that have that word coexistence ? those liberals driving around with that bumper sticker ?
I wonder if they are " tolerant " with Israel reopening that historic synagogue that made the Arab Palestinians go apes ?

If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

And apologies for the many pings, but it's better than the days when they were about terror attacks.

..................

should symbolise religious tolerance, 62 years after the building was destroyed in fighting with Jordan.

Right, as the Arabs wait to destroy it again.

Good news, State Department: US does not object to Israel rededicating Hurva Synagogue, our government doesn't object to reopening the Synagogue. >

Yeah, well angering “Palestinians” (and Muslims in general) isn't exactly a difficult trick.

Just wait 'til the Israelis bulldoze the Dome of the Rock and then build the Third Temple. The world's Muslim pop. will have a collective aneurysm.
