"Cut and paste" can prove anything and I refuse to get into a debate over whether my "cut and paste" can beat yours. I'd rather stick to logic.

Conditions for all believers, irrespective of religion, are better post 1967 than before. That's pretty universally accepted. I know you won't agree but go up and down your street and ask your neighbors (if you have neighbors) or pick a street at random.

I don't go for the mumbo jumbo of any religion that prohibits others. There is plenty of room for compromise going forward. The Jews can have control of the Western Wall and the Arabs control of the Temple Mount. They may have to have red tape and weapons searches but I wouldn't allow any religious belief to bar others who are there for peaceful purposes and not to disrupt any others' ceremony.

By the way, there are "cuts and pastes" by Arabs and Jews that say Jerusalem is not that important to Islam and that Mohammad's pilgrimage was not to Jerusalem. Again, I don't know enough about it but can understand that it proves my thesis that one can "cut and paste" proving anything. It doesn't accomplish anything.

Here's a cut and paste that might be in your league, but again, I really don't care.
