Reply #6: Jerusalsem is the most incredible city on earth

[dazeconf]

If you'd been there, you could never lightly suggest the city's destruction. I'm Jewish, but ultimately I don't think that Israel should have sole control over the city. The main problem, in my opinion, is the damage that the more extreme palestinians would do to the jewish areas of the city if control were ever handed over. In 2000, the city of Nabulus was handed over to the palestians, and an angry mob destroyed several buildings around Joseph's tomb. The only possible solution in my mind is to either make Jerusalem a UN controlled city (difficult because neither side trusts the UN) or to make it a self contained entity like the Vatican (difficult because a government uniting all 4 religions would be near impossible to organize).
