Israeli police storm Jerusalem's most contested holy site
Israeli police have stormed into the most sensitive religious site in the Holy Land, throwing stun grenades at Palestinian rock-throwers, police said.
After Friday prayers at the Al Aqsa Mosque on the disputed hilltop in the Old City of Jerusalem, Palestinian youths started throwing rocks at Israeli police posted at a gate just outside, and at Jewish worshippers at the Western Wall below, police said.
Police stormed into the open area outside the mosque and threw stun grenades, according to a police announcement. Police said the rock-throwing was continuing, and police were on the scene.
One policeman was lightly injured by a rock, police said.
The site is known to Muslims as Haram as-Sharif, the Noble Sanctuary, which holds two large mosques. Muslims revere it as the site from where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven.
Eighteen months of Palestinian-Israeli violence erupted after Ariel Sharon, now Israel's prime minister, visited the site in September 2000 to emphasize Israel's claim of sovereignty to what they call the Temple Mount. The two mosques are built atop the ruins of the biblical Jewish Temples.

I think that X-42 could be said to have allied himself with Israel for 7 years, until he tried to push his 'peace plan'. He certainly is a man of sin, and as we know wants to be put in charge of the UN, eventually. Besides, as President of the US he was the closest thing to a world ruler that existed at the time. I think that by your standards the stage is set.
This should get a reaction.

Israel might not win. But they WILL not lose.
Neutron and hydrogen....multiple entry.
never liked that dam anyway.
such an eyesore
I didn't really complete my thoughts on this subject.
It is likely that the 20 million corpses in the Mediterranean would touch off a plague which could kill hundreds of millions of people in Europe and North Africa and leave hundreds of millions of survivors too weak to participate in the economic system. It could be capable of setting off a worldwide economic catastrophe which would so damage the economic systems of the world that the current population of the world could not be sustained. The results of this could be a downward spiral eventually costing billions of people their lives, including much of our own population.
I don't really think that it is all that good an idea.
Sounds a bit like Groundhog Day, don't you think. I wish I had your confidence on this matter. It also reminds me of the story of the guy who fell off of the Empire State Building, and as he fell past the 7th Floor, somebody listening at an open window heard him say 'So far, so good'!
Armies. The construction he used (YHWH Tz'vaot) is commonly translated "Lord of hosts" ("hosts," of course, as in "hosts of angels").
. . . and posted it. The fringe have commandeered this ride!
