> Ronn asked <<And what about the big question: Who gets Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, which the hard-liners on both sides insist only they should have exclusive possession of?>>
Jeroen suggested <<Deny both sides the exclusive possession. If they cannot manage to share those places, place both places under permanent UN control.>> Ilana <<UN failed to guard lives. Do you *really* believe that it will succeed in guarding places? And, as I wrote already - Jerusalem is capital city of Israel and as things are now - Israel *is* sharing Temple Mount - Arabs (from many Arab countries and from Israel) have problem with sharing. What you suggest will translate itself (just as it was when Jordan had Temple Mount and, theoretically, gave "freedom of worship to Jews") to Jews being banned from the holiest of their sites.>> Sonja <<So what do *you* suggest? And what do you think will be the consequences of implementing this suggestion in terms of peace and prosperity?>> *I* suggest that somebody will make Moslems to behave in civilized way. <SHRUG> Is it possible without implementing force? I am not sure. But - when Jerusalem was in Jordan hands only Moslems had freedom of worship there. After 1967, when Jerusalem was re-united Christians and Jews were able also to worship freely, till Moslems decided that Temple Mount is their only and started shooting & throwing stones at Jews near Wailing Wall and rioting every time that Third Temple group will try to enter Temple Mount. To *my* eyes - Moslems are the ones that create problems. They are guests in our capital city and are invited to behave accordingly. Am I sorry that El-Aktza was not blown at 1967? I am. Ilana
