Jews around the world and particularly in Israel on Tuesday marked the solemn fast of Tisha B'Av, the annual commemoration of the destruction of the Temple and numerous other tragedies to befall the Jewish people.

If the Muslims were the ones threatening violence, why were the Jews the ones evacuated? See, class? Crime pays, two wrongs make a right, and violence solves everything. Dismissed. Go stab each other during recess.
Let me guess... that was PA police, right? What? What do you mean that I’m wrong? Israeli police would never remove Israeli Jews from any spot on Eretz Israel, right? Wrong again????
PA police? Magavniks? IDF? Mishstara? TIPH Patrol? Whatever.
And not just Antiochus IV. When Marcus Licinius Crassus marched against the Parthians in 54 B.C., the first thing he did was go to Jerusalem and help himself to the Temple treasures, to help pay for his expedition. He would. Nobody else in Rome supported Crassus, and he got killed at the battle of Carrhae, though the Romans outnumbered the Parthians by 4 to 1. The Temple stood as an empty shell for a generation after that, until King Herod came along and started his renovation project.
