It needs to be administered by a secular peacekeeping force.
The mosque was built over the Jewish temple. Both groups have a historical claim to the site.... and neither can be trusted.
Interesting you should say that. I've visited there and it's a remarkable place. At the time I was reading a Tom Clancy novel and he had the same thought for all of Jerusalem. To make peace, he wrote, it should be protected by the Swiss Guard from the Vatican
So the Christians should take control?
This meme seems oddly relevant to this discussion.
That was Clancy's idea of the best of alternatives
Remind me, what religion was Clancy?
Don't know. Religion doesn't have much to do with it I think. The Swiss Guard are basicly Swiss mercenaries.
Riiiiiiiiight
I'm sure there's no bad blood in the area from the last times Christians tried to take Jerusalem.
I remember they can't even decide by them selves :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yznFT4-2dKI
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre's keys have been in the hands of a Muslim family for centuries to prevent Christians from different denominations from murdering each other, so there's already a precedent for it.
Is this related to the ladder?
Just put some Buddhists in charge of it. They’ve got zero skin in this game.
Wouldn't be the first time Romans took control over Israelis
Actually the Swiss Guard is...ah...Swiss.
Was looking for a Roman Catholic Church joke but missed the mark I think
This was actually the original plan in the first UN Partition Plan, that Jerusalem would become an international city administered by the UN. The Jews that would go on to form Israel accepted, while Palestinians rejected it, war broke out, and here we are.
The US should just blow it up and end the stupidity
