Israel allows 5th Temple on the Mount

Two ironies for today, first the insanity of the Palestinians kidnapping the people that do and could help them the most.

And secondly, that whilst Israel is attacked for building on supposed occupied territories (debateable in a seperate post), Israel yeserday gave no objection to the building of a 5th temple on the temple mount. A piece of real estate that is not really in disput as to the rightful owners.

Jordan basically plans to construct a fifth minaret up on the Temple Mount, the Hashemite Kingdom is has plans to begin building early next year. The minaret, which will be constructed on the eastern wall of the Temple Mount near the Golden Gate, will at 42 meters be the highest of the minarets on the Mount and the first to be built in more than 600 years.

We could say its heresy, we could say its balsphemy to build such structures on the site of Judaisms most holy of holies, but for the sake (or hope) of peace, Israel will allow it.

Hum !
