I assume we are all familiar with the recent atrocities perpetrated by Palestinians against the Jews in Israel. Here is another opinion. (Disclaimer: this is an "opinion" piece in the Wall Street Journal written by a Jew. I mention this up front so that our lib contributors won't have to waste his time posting that information.)

Quote:A 10-year-old Russian boy... found a 3,000-year-old seal.....from the time of King David.

Quote:Dating from the era of King David’s conquest of Jerusalem and the building of the Jewish First Temple.... the seal confirms the ancient Jewish presence in Jerusalem—more than a millennium before the Muslim Dome of the Rock was built above the ruins of the ancient temples.

In effect, the Jews were there 1000 years before the Muslims, so the Muslim claim of precedence is invalid.

Quote:Although Secretary of State John Kerry absurdly attributed the bloody rampage to Palestinians’ frustration with Israeli settlement-building, informed observers note that the outbreak of violence has been stoked by false rumors that Israel is on the verge of rewriting the Temple Mount rules, including allowing Jews to pray there.
