A view of the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount, Jerusalem, Israel. Between 1948 and 1967 (from the Declaration of Independance (the War of Independance - Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Jordania and Lebanon attacked Israel on the second day of its independance after 3 years the tiny state was able to push the ennemies behind her borders and changed the map) and the 6-days war), Jerusalem who was supposed to be international after the 1947 UN partition, Jerusalem was under Jordanian control. During this period, Jews weren't allow to pray or be in Jerusalem. In the background, we can see (left side of the screen), the Dome of the Rock constructed somewhere around 600-700 CE (a memory whole) on the remains of the Temple - Jews are denied access. Muslims are allowed free access and free control of their side. The Al-Aqsa Intifada that recently brokeout was suppositively because of Sharon's visit surrounded by his guards (after the invitation of the Muslim authority). See the next picture..
