Couldn't agree with you more. The Palestinians, and Muslims in general scream about the intolerance shown their religion, yet they cannot allow Jews to visit and worship at the holiest site in the Judaic world?
I'd like to go visit both if I'm in the area. It would be interesting, at a minimum.
We see the same sort of conflicts in India over ancient temple sites, and it causes the deaths of thousands. It continues today.
I guess it all depends on what you're passionate about. I'm not passionate enough to die over an ancient temple site. But on the other hand, I would have had no qualms about being one of the last Texans at the Alamo. I guess I should be more understanding of those who have other passions.
