Jack, when the arabs were in control of Jerusalem the Jews were forbidden to pray at their holy places and their synagogues were bombed. Israel on the other hand have given them free reign on all their holy places. Do you remember when the terrorists were holed up in a church in Bethlehem the Israeli forces did not attack out of respect for the church. I wonder if they would have chosen the same restraint. The Israelis are not the "barbarians" you make them out to be.
