I have said before that I consider the issue irresolvable politically, diplomatically, or militarily. Those who play in fire are bound to get burned and nothing better than that can come of this mess. The disputes over real estate are one thing, claims to divine ordinance is another but they are deeply entangled. Barring the arrival of a Messiah, I figure to wait and get an explanation at final judgement.

The only human resolution I can see would have to stem from an agreement among the religious authorities to establish the area around Temple Mount as an interfaith managed region, not a cure all but a step toward mutual benefit and cooperation in the region. I don't see the venue for that under the current circumstances. Neither side can claim to have clean hands at this point.

However, justified or not what do you expect these people to do? They feel abandoned by the world.

Pursue their cause by killing themselves, not others.
