Jews lived there while it was still the country of Palestine. Many religions lived there.

The Jews though are the indigenous population. The others are, at best, illegal immigrants.

When we decided to carve out a piece of Palestine and call it a different Country is when the conflict stared. Not many days after. And it has not stopped ever since.

Muslims don't like it when they are prevented from stealing other people's land and holy sites.

Palestine is a Holy Land for all the Abrahamic religions. As it should be. People from all over the world from different religions go there. Its a Place full of history for those religions.

Nonsense. The only reason Muslims are interested in the area is because they like to steal other people's holy sites.

Xianity has a bit of history there, but the true centers of Xianity are Rome and Constantinople (the later being another example of Muslims stealing other people's holy sites).

Is Christianity a branch of Abrahamic religions? Is Islam a branch also? Was not the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Land a part of the Abrahamic religion history? Is not about what religions "Rules" the place. All those people from Abrahamic religions should be able to see the historic places for their religion.

Yes. But that does not give them any right to steal Jewish holy sites.

peter jeffrey cobb wrote:

Perhaps. I'm not sure how legitimate their claim is.

If they are, it certainly doesn't give them any right to steal Jewish and Xian holy sites.

Yes. The Jewish people are indigenous to the West Bank area.

Unfortunately it is, because certain religions seem to think they have the right to steal other peoples' holy sites.

There is a bit of a difference between visiting a holy place, and stealing it for your own religion.

I don't think Jews would mind overmuch if the only thing other religions did was come for a visit and enjoy the history.

Does this include Jews or are they always in the right?

@oralloy,

Well you are right no one should steal anything. It should be marked as a historical site for all to see.

No. I've never even considered it. Not my cup of tea.

Have you ever considered yourself to be a psychopathic supporter?

I am unaware of Jews ever trying to steal someone else's holy site.

So far they are.

What Jews do with their own holy sites is up to them. They will probably welcome visitors up to a certain point, but don't expect there to ever be guided tours of the Holy of Holies.

And why is that? Did the people that the sites became called Holy from, Did they not all people to see them? Is this not a part of Human history? If a person has not decided how they want to chose to worship God yet, Shouldn't they be allowed to see the historic places.

The fact that I'm not a psychopath means that I'm not a psychopathic anything. I'm not sure what you mean by "a supporter".

I've never supported psychopaths.

Because the Holy of Holies is off limits to all but the high priest, and I think even he only enters to perform certain ceremonies.

Being interested in history does not give anyone the right to violate the sanctity of other religions' holy places.

Observing buildings from the outside, or entering the parts of the buildings that you are invited to enter, is fine. Intruding into private areas where you are unwelcome, not so fine.

@oralloy,

Is that what causes all this violence? Is groups of people saying "This my historic place and no one else should be allowed here!"?

I think here it says
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_calf
That this story is in more than one Abrahamic religion. Is the moral of it to worship God and not Idols or buildings? The historical places do have a lot of history but the Abrahamic religions worships God.
