Ah. Well in that case you have a different definition of the word "holy" than I do. My mistake. I always assume people mean the same thing that I do by words. The word "holy" is one of the most difficult. But still, you must agree that murder of a living man is worse than something done to old bones.

Yes, human life is always more important. Judaism places the highest value on human life and you can break any Jewish law to save lives.

That does not change the fact that places can be holy, as in of deep religious importance. The Temple Mount is, according to scripture, where G-d chose to dwell on earth. That makes it the holiest site in Judaism.

Oh, and yes, some holy sites are worth fighting and dying for.
