“Jerusalem is a living city, and you have people who are living there and you can’t ask them to move out of their 400-year-old house,” he said.

Sure you can. Just ask Ginsburg, Souter, Breyer, et al.

In the interest of the Public Good, I must insist that we demolish this entire area and build a strip mall.

The "article in the September/October 2005 issue of Biblical Archeology Review" is an interesting read.

"The Siloam Pool: Where Jesus Cured the Blind Man"

John 5

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Yeshua went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.

5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.

6 When Yeshua saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”

7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”

8 Yeshua said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.

Imagine that, 38 years after the fig tree puts forth it’s leaves (Six Day War 1967) the Pool of Siloam is discovered. Tick tock...
