Powerful words from Israeli-Arab reporter Lucy Aharish

That spark has no color or shape.

Except that such violence often happens straight after Friday prayers. But I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Just like it's a coincidence that the Islamic holy books contain more Jew hatred (9%) than Mein Kampf (7%).

And just like it's a coincidence that the "prophet" Mohammed spent the last 9 years of his life terrorising, head-chopping and enslaving everyone who denied Allah.

And it's a coincidence that the Koran contains 90 verses commanding Muslims to imitate the role model of Mohammed.

As for the "occupation", that dispute goes back to the Muslim invasion of Jerusalem in 637.

Islam is a religion of the sword. Always has been, always will be. Palestine will never be solved because Islam is infested with Jew hatred, to the extent that Muslims want to exterminate the Jews.

These are the facts. Some things do have "colour and shape". Islam certainly does.

Motivation can come from the environment, or it can come from ideas. Islam, as a body of ideas, is on par with Nazism. It is pure evil. Islam is a crime against humanity. This is the key reason why violence is far more prevalent in the Muslim world.

In a sane world, Islam would be indicted for war crimes, hate crimes, and incitement to genocide.

Take Romain occupation in Europe; the western Roman empire got hammered by the assaults of the native tribe.

Um, the Romans were done in by invading tribes.  They had successfully assimilated the "native" tribes.

I had to turn it off. She kept spitting on me.

Indeed the only non-assimilated tribe was the Jews. it could be argued (and indeed has been; E. Gibbons) that the Empire was brought down by an offshoot cult of that tribe combined with internal corruption.

Mr Greene

Stop engulfing Jews in everything.
All humanity hated Rome.

You'll have to provide sources for that claim, the judices of Britannia seemed rather put out by the withdrawal of the commitences.

Ultimately, all Arab/Israeli problems exist because there are some annoying people, and that's putting it terribly mildly, who want to build this on the site of the Dome of the Rock. They will ultimately build their temple and absolutely nothing will happen as a result. And all of the wars and deaths will be for nothing. Let's stop bullying the Arabs by supporting oppressive governments.

It is a side reason, MNMP. In other words you can't consider it a main "reason". I mean, it's insulting to utter levels, at least to Arabs.

This is as similar to demolishing the Roman Catholic Church in Europe then replace it with a huge mosque covered in Arab decorations. Even to a European non-Christian nationalist, such act would be "stepping on the sovereignty of the land".

To many Palestinians, this is what is left out of their dear old Palestine : this mosque. If it's demolished, and replaced with a Jewish temple, I expect something else would happen. Something like a war between the Palestinians residing in the city and the Jews, and it will never end until one part is totally annihilated. With the brutality we saw the IDF use against civilians in Gaza, you can expect a bloodbath.
