No one now desecrates religious sites under israeli rule in J. You are correct, except launching an excavation project under the Mosque's footings and oops sorry the foundation did not handle the weight.

With all due respect to you, Michael, as a Christian, I hate what Israel has done to the Holy Land. The wall has chopped up all kinds of religious sites in the Bethlehem area. The Tomb of Rachel(more important to Jews) is on the Israeli side and the Church of the Nativity (most imp. to Christians) is on the Pal side with HAMAS alloted $500,000 annually to maintain the grounds!!!! In building the wall, land was taken from a big Greek Orthodox monastery and other Catholic owned lands. The wall separates the largest Catholic church in Bethlehem from it's 2000 parishoners. Every denomination that had facilities in the area has complained vigorously. To even enter Bethlehem, you have to go through 2 Israeli checkpoints. All of Bethlehem is now a snake of concrete and barbed wire.
