The Battle Over the Temple Mount

Zec 12:3 "It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.

One of the main obstacles in previous peace-making efforts has been the issue of dividing Jerusalem and control over the Temple Mount.

Axis Of Evil: Did U.S. weakness invite North Korea's nuclear provocations? Like Tehran, Pyongyang has rejected Obama administration diplomatic overtures. Are these rogue states seizing a new opportunity? Talked To Death

Crude threats are being conveyed to the Netanyahu government, making it clear that unless it capitulates to a series of demands, relations will be downgraded and boycotts may even be instituted.

Of all the available bad choices, Obama has taken the worst. It is hard to imagine any consequence except a steep diminution of American influence.
