This week, as Torah readings turn to the portion in which Israel gathered around Horev as the pillar rested upon it, Israelis presence upon mountain of the House. It's worth remembering that Moshe Dayan gave the mountain back to the Waqf on a Shabbat in close proximity to Shavuot precisely 40 years ago.

The sight of work actually being performed is very confusing to the Palestinians.

Disperse the rioters with club-wielding horse police and water cannons just like they do when the Jews in Meah Shearim get uppity.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

Muslims are so predictable. The Fatah and Hamas crime families are killing each other so it's time to try and gin up anti Jew riots. Not too hard given the low mental state of the typical Palestinian. The Muslim way is to always blame others. Never take responsibility

This week, as Torah readings turn to the portion in which Israel gathered around Horev as the pillar rested upon it, Israelis are equivocal about any presence upon the mountain of the House. It's worth remembering that Moshe Dayan gave the mountain back to the Waqf on a Shabbat in close proximity to Shavuot precisely 40 years ago.

There, now that reads the way I intended.

Welcome to the Slings and Arrows Temple Mount Dual-Use Plan. Any Israeli politicians reading this are welcome to introduce this plan in the Knesset. Don't thank me. I'm a given.

1. The Waqf will be kicked out on their little turbaned behinds. Administration of the Temple Mount will be taken over by Israeli government, who will be in charge of all excavations, renovations, etc. (Sorry, Abdul - no more Jewish history down the memory hole!)

2. The Temple Mount will be divided into Jewish and Muslim sectors, and a Big-Ass Wall (TM) built to separate them. Any attacks on Jews by Muslims will result in land from the Muslim sector being annexed, and the BAW extended as far as is necessary to prevent a repetition. Any attacks on Muslims by Jews will be dealt with under the current Israeli judicial system, as it shown itself more than willing to vigorously prosecute observant Jews.

There! That wasn't so hard, was it?

the Palestinian Authority, which claimed Israel has begun "demolishing two rooms in [the] Al-Aqsa mosque...in line with the Israeli plans to demolish the entire holy shrine and build the alleged Soleiman [sic] temple in its place."

Since they already think Israel is doing it, why not just do it? Destroy the mosques and rebuild the Temple now!

Breaking news: An Israeli broke wind on the path. Muslims owrldwide take offense and riot uncontrollably

Um, I really hate to point out the obvious, but -- hellooo? -- a "mosque" on the "Temple Mount"?

We have all figured out, by now, that these 7th century holdovers aren't the shar, er, uh, they're not the brightest bulbs in the marquee. So, that oughta explain why they went and put a mosque on the Temple Mount, in spite of the fact that EVERYONE (except them, obviously) knew perfectly well that a "Temple Mount" is for [drumroll] A TEMPLE.

Seeing the truth in 20/20 hindsight has really gotta hurt, so it's no wonder they're so danged testy about their centuries-old boo-boo.
