| h2ohno said: Israel would never abandon Jerusalem. That would be abandoning 2000 years worth of hopes, prayers, and dreams. It's like asking Saudi Arabia to abandon Mecca or Arthur to abandon Camelot. The country would not survive without its heart. Israelis also remember how Jews were ethnically cleansed from every inch of territory Jordan captured in 1948, how Jews were banned from visiting any of their holy sites for 19 years, how synagogues and pretty much the entire Jewish Quarter were destroyed, and how tombstones were ripped from the ancient Mount of Olives cemetery and used as pavement. They're not going to chance giving control over their holy sites to anyone else after that. |
Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. I was only asking in theory, just to see what the person suggesting it would say about who then would rule Jerusalem.
But it was only out of curiosity. Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. That cannot and will not change. If the muslims took over Jerusalem it could very well be the end of every Jewish holy site in the capital and Christians wouldn't be safe either. We all remember what the talibans did to the Buddhas of Bamiyan and what the islamic state did in the city of Palmyra. Destroying ancient statues and art that is non muslim. I don't understand how anyone can defend those people but yeah, I guess it is the world we live in.
