Why is it okay for Arabs to dig under the Temple Mount, destroying Israeli artifacts...and then say Israel can't do construction work several hundred yards away from the Temple Mount. They expect to have their cake and eat it, too, and the MSM think it's fine and dandy.
Don't expect rationality from deranged psychos....
It isn't, pure and simple. IMHO, Israel ought to bite the bullet and kick the Waqf off of Temple Mount altogether (though, with this Israeli government, I'm not holding my breath). Why on G-d's green Earth are there even desecrations of Temple Mount like Al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Crock in the first place?
Let them riot - who cares, they're going to riot sometime soon anyway, Israel might as well give them a good reason to riot (i.e. get something worthwhile out of it, instead of all the rioting and criticism for no return at all).
Personally, I'd like to see the Israeli PM get on live TV and say, "you see this construction work off of Temple Mount that we're doing...that ***doesn't*** do anything to harm Al-Aqsa Mosque. Now, on the other hand, ***THIS*** [view cuts away to explosives being set off, with huge dust cloud resulting, followed by rapid series of booms] does something to harm Al-Aqsa Mosque. This demonstration was for educational purposes, just so that all of you moon-worshippers out there would know the difference. Oh, and ***THIS*** [view cuts away to explosives being set off around Dome of the Rock, with huge dust cloud resulting, followed by rapid series of booms] shows what an actual attempt to destroy the Dome of the Rock looks and sounds like...again, just so that you know that we weren't doing anything at all to bother you goat-humpers for the past 40 years in Holy Yerushalayim. Oh, by the way, the cornerstone for the Third Temple will be laid in approximately 2 days, once all of this unholy crap is removed and taken to the nearest pig farm for disposal. Anyone that wants to come and stop us is welcome to try - we've got hundreds of nukes and the IDF/IAF ready and waiting, not to mention one L-rd of Hosts."
OK, OK, some I have an active imagination - I can actually imagine a pro-Jewish Israeli government, something that hasn't been seen for over 2,000 years.
