11. How pathetic

Everyone in Israel DOES have equal religious rights. Nobody gets arrested for having a Koran (like they do in some Muslim countries for having a Christian bible), nobody stops any religion from praying whereever they like (unlike the Palestinians who demand that only Muslims have the right to pray on the Temple Mount). The ONLY ones denying religious freedom are the Muslims that control the Temple Mount (a really stupid thing for Israel to have agreed to).

Judaizing Jerusalem? One, a disgusting term that in no way presents what the issue is - that the Muslims FORBID anyone but a Muslim from praying - you could get ARRESTED for merely closing your eyes on the mount and you STILL blame Israel for the problem. I guess it's better than when you used to pretend you were neutral. Where is your outrage about UNESCO trying to deny the Jewish history of the Temple Mount? Aren't you even going to pretend?
