I am confused

No you're not. You know exactly what you're saying.

- are you implying Arabs are evil and are not worthy of entering Jerusalem?

I didn't say anything about the Arabs. I said, "you".

In addition, why is someone who disagrees with our support of Israel branded "evil"?

I said nothing about supporting Israel or not supporting Israel in this context.

Israel must come to terms with the fact that Jerusalem is not theirs and never should have been.

Wishful thinking on your part considering that Jerusalem is the capital city of Israel.

Muslims, Christians, and Jews should share these holy cities and not allow one religion to dominate or control these lands, despite what your God says.

When Muslims controlled the city, not one word was said by Christians or Muslims about sharing. It was only when the Jews took over that one heard the lofty ideals of sharing the city. Coincidence? Or the possibility that Jewish control of the Holy City was something that Christians and Muslims just couldn't stand? Is there another explanation?

Ask yourself this - What is fair and why is Israel so unwilling to share these sacred places?

Perhaps we should look to Christian and Muslim history before we answer that question. For example, what has been the historical treatment of the Jews by Christians? How about Muslims? If that was fair, then I'm all for applying those same standards of fairness towards Christian and Muslim holy sites. But, to be honest, we don't really need to look at history, do we? All we have to do is look at Joseph's tomb. Last year, it was a Jewish holy site. The Muslims overran it, burned the Jewish holy books and scrolls, and turned it into a mosque. The Christian world said absolutely nothing. Still want to talk about fairness?

Obviously you are discriminated against by all the Christians around you! LOL For a minority group as the Jews in the US, you have no base to be paranoid. You are in cntol, and have a big seat at the table.

I am sorry to see that you have absolutely no clue as to what you are talking about. Blinded by one side and unable to see the different sides in all of this. Fair is fair - Israel needs to give back all they have taken and we need to stop helping Israel kill so many people and steal land from their enemies. Israel is hated in the Middle East, and for good reason. America is hated in the Middle East, and for good reason.
