>> Also, what are the common religious grounds, other than Jerusalem, and Abraham's Tomb?

Neither. There is a mosque built on the site of Temple of Solomon. For the Messiah to make his appearance, the temple has to be rebuilt. But unfortunately that is where Mohammed made a circuit on his way to paradise. So you know, one has to make way in order for the other to have religious fulfillment.

It may be possible to push the moslems out of the al-aqsa mosque for a while, but they'll hold an eternal grudge. Anyway, it looks like Sharon wants to keep provoking the palestinians until the hatreds are so strong that Israel can take-over the temple/mosque under some pretext.

If you recall, palestinians were quietly awaiting the implemetation of Oslo accords when Sharon went to the site with a thousand troops (in '98 ?) and declared it exclusively for Israelis. That is when the suicide bombings started.

edit. This was a bit muddled. But the gist is correct.
