”Israel captured the compound from Jordan in the 1967 Mideast War”

If we must have a little history lesson might it not be a good idea to get it right? Jordan (Transjorden at the time) captured the compound from the Palestinians in the 1948 war. As part of the partition agreement the British handed it over to Palestine. Part of the reason we get so many anti Israeli post here is because many of the posters only know what newspapers tell them and the above twisted history is mild by comparison to much else I have seen.

Stun grenades and plexiglass shields VS rocks, plastic chairs, T-shirts and scarves. Israel has already lost the "who has the biggest balls" war.

In the event, the Jews had this as their holiest site for thousands of years, before your muslim neanderthals built (in typical fashion) a mosque on top of it and claimed it their own. (And their only historical claim to the site is that Mohammed visited it in a dream...).

And no, all the various religions in the area get along quite well, with the exception of one, which believes that it (according to its founder) it must "dominate, not be dominated". Guess which one that is.
