Can anyone briefly tell me the story of how these yayhoos got put in charge of Israel's and Christendom's most holy place? Really! Who died and made them Alexander Haig? It's unbelievable to me that Jews and Christians can't even pray there!
It happened after the Six Day Israeli/Arab War in 1967. During May, 1967, the Egyptian, Jordian and Syrian armies mobilized along Israel's narrow borders preparing to attack and destroy Israel. The Israelis, knowing about this beforehand, planned and carried out perfectly a pre-emptive strike against Egypt. Within hours, the Egyptian airforce was wiped out. King Hussein of Jordan launched his attack into Israel, while Syrian troops came down the Golan Heights range into northern Israel. After only six days [thus the name Six Day War], Israel defeated all three arab militaries.
Israel's General Moshe Dayan allowed the remaining arabs in the West Bank to stay. Israel has caused much of her own problems, sadly, because since then Israel has been labeled the "occupier" of the West Bank. Enter Arafat......
