Catholics, Orthodox, Armenians dominate the Sepulchre, and would be upset were it destroyed, but they are not Christian Zionists.

Note that the Sepulchre has suffered fires and vandalism a number of times over the centuries, and keeps being re-built. What one sees now dates mostly to the 20th century.

Catholics and Orthodox Christians would be upset by a destruction of the Sepulchre, but they are not anywhere as belligerent, these days, at US protestants.

Are you really being serious?

When will you?

Otherwise a fine post on an interesting bit of news.

“Of the MOSSAD, the Israeli intelligence service, the SAMS officers say: “Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act.”

this appeared in the washington times the day before 9/11.

I am a Christian and a Sepulchre cannot be holy. Nothing is holy except for God. Bibi is an ignorant idiot on top of being a war criminal.

Israel lost significant standing and credibility in its relations with the United Kingdom and the United States that would take years to repair.
The tactics of the operation led to deep-seated suspicion of Israeli intelligence methods, such as agents provocateurs and false flag operations.
The political aftermath caused considerable political turmoil in Israel that affected the influence of its government.
In March 2005, Israel publicly honored the surviving operatives, and President Moshe Katsav presented each with a certificate of appreciation for their efforts on behalf of the state, ending decades of official denial by Israel.[2]”

“Her father, Eitan Livni, proudly served as chief operations officer of the Irgun, a right wing Zionist gang that in the post 1945 period sent letter bombs to the British occupying authorities and in 1946 blew up the King David hotel in Jerusalem. Some Jews died in that terrorist act along with others who had no relationship to the issue of an Israeli state. Some British intelligence officials also got blown away.
Livni’s ops dressed up as Arabs. Who would suspect benign Arabs? “People who looked like they might be violent Zionists would have attracted suspicion,” wrote Juan Cole. “Later generations of rightwing Zionists have attempted to convince the rest of the world that the Arab kaffiyah is an icon of terrorism; but their parents were perfectly willing to display it as a sign of innocence (and perhaps with the intention that the Arabs should take the fall).” (http://www.juancole.com/2007/09/tzipi-livni-aboutface-now-against.html)
In 2006, Likudnik and former Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu commemorated that bombing, also honored by surviving Irgun members. In 1948, Irgun members also participated in what Arabs call a massacre of Palestinian civilians at Deir Yassin. Israeli historians differ as to whether the more than 100 dead, including many old people, were shot or died as a result of the battle. Tzipi has not repudiated her father’s actions…”
