Sorry Tina. Israel`s actions, as usual, are based on self defence. If it lets the kids go to school and they riot, by throwing rocks and stones, and the response hurts or worse yet kills a kid, Israel is too blame. The truth hurts but life is instrinscally hell on the Pal side. They live in ignorance and delusion and this is one such issue, though its probably more sinister than that. Its totally ridiculous to suggest that Israel is threatening the integrity of its own holiest site because it is tied into the integrity of the Dome. The truth is that the Arab world, having denied that the site that it has built on, is a holy site to Jews and Christians, is worried about the unravelling of its tissues of lies with yet more indisputable archeogical evidence. The wall pre-dates the Dome by more than 1500 years and Jews historic claim to Jerusalem and area is much, much stronger than the claim of the squatters who followed. Everyone knows squatters have a short memory.
