There is an area in Jerusalem where Palestinians are living which maybe (i dont know) actually owned by Jews (I dont know ) but the case has gone from court to court and is now with the Supreme Court who are delaying their verdict , it is FEASIBLE the Palestinians despite being their for decades maybe no more than squatters (i DONT KNOW!) 

This is coming on top of the Election in the PA which wont now happen , the announcement of several thousand new homes in the WB and very stringent controls in East Jerusalem - the trouble makers are the youngsters who get fired up and get heroically hit with rubber bullets etc 

Add to this brew a Government teetering on removal and a PM who is ready to do anything at all to remain in power and out of the grasp of the courts to face charges , his allies are the ultra right wingers and the ultra orthodox who see life through a different prism than you or me

These events are going to occur more and more , the Jewish groups are using almost unlimited money to buy out land and property and to re establish total control of the city they are using US/UK / French law firms to ferret through everything .

For the Jews this is a return to their city for the Palestinians this is something in their nightmares they never saw

The TEMPLE Mount is the home of the Al Aqsa Mosque but is also the most venerated site in Judaism being the place where the two Temples were (both torn down ) so it is a place at times of enormous tension made far worse this year by a series of interconnected events

200 rockets have been fired into Israel , as a well known Israeli general said (several times) if there is a shower on our head there will be a flood on yours.

There will be NO END to these rounds of violence unless both sides can find some political reason to stop

Hamas are an Iranian proxy militia same as Hezbollah, they do their masters in Teheran biding and when it suits Iran the conflict escalates , this is the reality .

The entire leadership of Hamas are safely ensconced in the Basement of the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City where there is a war room and fullest facilities to conduct conflict very safely
