JERUSALEM — Israel on Monday reopened a landmark synagogue in Jerusalem's walled Old City, saying it should symbolise religious tolerance, 62 years after the building was destroyed in fighting with Jordan.

In a video message because he was unable to attend personally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the synagogue brought a message of coexistence.

"We permit believers of other faiths to conserve their places of worship. We proudly protect our heritage, while at the same time allowing others freedom of religion," he said.

But the rededication came against a backdrop of heightened political and religious tensions in the holy city, with thousands of police deployed after clashes with Palestinian demonstrators.

The Coexisters would be mistaken anyhow. The God of Israel isn’t the God of Jihad. That’s Allah’s department (somewhere in the bureaucracy of Hell).

The GOD of Israel will not be mocked, the GOD of Israel is the one and only supreme ruler, authority, justice, and power in all creation, The GOD of Israel's will and purpose can not ever be defeated not matter how much they try.
May the GOD of Israel rebuke them, and may the GOD of Israel show his mighty wonders...

Usually, the God of Israel doesn’t go out of His way to pick fights. That’s my point.

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

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. >

But, when they mock him, and their “ IN YOUR FACE “ to the GOD of Israel, the GOD of Israel will give them a attitude adjustment, and set them straight...

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.
