Israel warned the Pali's to stop digging under the Temple Mount in Solomon's stables, in their hurried attempt to remove any trace of Jewish historical claims to the site, lest they weaken and collapse the structures above.

They didn't listen, so now instead of taking responsibility for what they themselves have caused, they lie like they always do.

Like termites, they have destroyed what they falsely claim is their third holiest site. Many Christian believers have thought it would come down in a mighty earthquake, or some other awesome act of God, not taking into account God's wry sense of humor.

I find it very amusing. I have spent many a night on the computer staring at that ugly toad of a dome, squatting where it ought not, and praying for it to be removed. It tickles me pink to think the whole top of the place could go at any minute, and in my life time to boot, the icing on the cake, the cherry on the sundae, is the Pali's have no one to blame but themselves.

I started to block out part of your reply #50 to paste here, until I had blocked out every word!

Fabulous summary. The irony is delicious. God does indeed have a sense of humor.

I always thought a well-misguided Iraqi scud might take it out...

But I'm confused now as to what walls are collapsed/bulged and their relation to the Dome of the Rock. Isn't the Dome of the Rock the building that occupies the Temple mount proper, near or over (depending on who's arguing) where the Temple ought to be? Whereas the building threatened by this collapse is a nearby museum, right?

Anybody gotta diagram showing where the wall problems are relative to the Dome of the Rock?

This is just the beginning, the rains are coming, what is going to happen to that uncovered dirt when it gets saturated with rain? See the second dome behind that dome? That is the Al Asque mosque, THE HOLY PLACE. The Gold dome is not a Mosque, it is a Shrine. It is the silver dome mosque that will start a war.

And the Jews have not been allowed up there for two years. Pretty hard to blame it all on the Jews now...

However this is just a preview folks, the real exciting news is the bulge on the southern wall. It is rocks that have been a retaining wall and have been stable for 4000 years. The PLO decided to dig out the Solomon stables with a Bulldozer, not a backhoe. ( Mentality of a box of rocks I tell you ). A back hoe digs, but a bulldozer pushes. You NEVER dig with a bulldozer behind a retaining wall.

To make it even more unstable they tore out all the ancient drainage and "Paved Paradise". No drains, the water from last years rains ran over to where it could seep in next to the wall. The fill dirt became saturated and with no drainage the mud became a plastic fluid mass. Along comes Tonka Archeologist with his D9 and pushes against the mud to carve out a slice. The mud instead of providing a force to push dirt up against transmits all that force sideways against the retaining wall because mud is not solid, it is fluid. The rocks slid out.

The way they build the temple mount platform was to build a huge retaining wall all around the mountain, built in cisterns, basements and fill dirted it. Then they built the platform on top. When the southern wall bulged out, dirt was obviously displaced behind it causing the platform to drop a tiny bit.

The Dome of the Rock and the Al Asque mosque, both domed structures were built on that platform by the ancient method of construction used a lot around the city. Now this is going to gettcha.

They build two stacked stone walls and fill the hollow with mud and stones. When the mud hardens it becomes a very strong structure that is based on the strength of the stacked stone walls. Those are then covered with mud till the walls are smooth and then plastered over on the inside. Makes for 4 foot thick walls and NO CONCRETE as it was not invented yet. Great building method when it has a solid foundation. But if the foundation shifts it is a disaster, as the stacked wall inside becomes "unstacked" and the entire structure becomes very unstable.

You cannot "restack" the rocks without dismantling the structure! It is pretty much impossible to fix. And the Dome of the rock reacted to the shift in the southern wall by cracking.

Now a dome is a very interesting structure. It is like an eggshell. When intact, you can not crush an egg in your hands without focusing your pressure in a tiny spot, but squeezed in your palms like gravity it just will not break.

But try it again with even the tiniest of cracks. Instant face omelet. Yep, the Dome of the rock is completely covered with scaffolding as they are trying to figure out how to patch it. The southern wall has scaffolding up its face as they were trying to figure out how to push the 40 ton rocks back in place.

I actually watched the idiots trying to hammer rocks the size of cars back in place with sledge hammers. Unless they dig the dirt that has shifted up against those rocks out to make room those rocks ain’t a gonna move with dynamite. But if they dig the dirt out to enable shifting the rocks back in place they will collapse the dome.

And the rain is coming...

BWAHAHAHAhahahaha!

The Jews do not have to destroy the dome, they just had to get out of the way so the Palestinians would do it for them.
