Of course it would be nice if the real Temple Mount was someplace not such a political hot potato - hot potato is putting it mildly, I can't think of a sufficient word. Yes, if the real Temple Mount wasn't occupied by armed Palestinians, that would be a Good Thing.

In fact, I'd love it if God sent an angel to the Israelis and told them that the Promised Land had been moved to America, maybe around Lake Tahoe, maybe Miami. ;^)

Somehow, though, I think the confrontations and struggle are all part of the deal. No idea what God thinks about the Wall - my guess is that He was hoping we'd all learn to get along, but maybe He approves of the idea of a Time Out.

You had it right in the first part of your paragraph. Would be nice if we Rodney King this problem, but we can't.

Genesis 16:
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
