Hamas has either pulled the wool over the eyes of Secretary of State Condi Rice or she is truly clueless.
As we have reported the current tensions in Jerusalem are the result of Hamas and other Muslim extremists creating a storm over an archaeological project that does not endanger any Muslim holy-sites in Jerusalem. The tactic of making false charges against the State of Israel over activities in Jerusalem has been employed by Arafat, The Grand Mufti, and Hamas.
Secretary Rice should have been briefed on this but apparently she has chosen to ignore reality and side with Hamas. The wire services are reporting that Rice agrees with Hamas on this issue.
Her words are giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Let her know that she is wrong. Demand that she speak out against the deliberate destruction of Christian and Jewish artifacts on the Temple Mount by the Muslim authorities.
Does she have any opinion or is she just stating what she thinks Bush wants her to say.Sorry situation.God help us

As I have noted before Ms Rise has become a puppet and spokesman for the US State Dept.and it's virilent anti Israel group. She is also enamoured with Abbas who is a terrorist in street clothes. As such anthing which puts Israel against the Arab Palestinians will cause her pounce on Israel and use all of her resources to denouce her. Either Mr Bush does not realize her hostility toward Isrel or he doesn't care. Either way Israel must be wary of America's so called friendship.

Dear Dr. Rice,
I wonder if you informed yourself adequately when you enquired about details over the work done on Temple Mount. One-sided information tends to lack balance. You should not be swayed by Palestinians only. Do get details from the Israelis, who are at least as concerned as you are.
PLEASE get the facts and you will be assured that no harm is being done to the Temple Mount.

The United States should stay out of Israel's business and let Israel proceed to do what needs to be done on the Temple Mt.

Islam's WAR On G-D and the HOLY Places of G-D
There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine.
Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity.
In the 1948 Islamic invasion and illegal occupation
of the Jewish Holy Land, Jordan destroyed 58 sacred synagogues in Jerusalem.
Since 1996, Rachel's Tomb, near Bethlehem, has been attacked by Muslim snipers, bombs and Molotov
cocktails.
In October 2000, Muslims torched and destroyed the
ancient synagogue in Jericho.
In 2005, Muslims desecrated and destroyed
sacred Gaza synagogues.
Joseph is the beloved Bible hero of Jews and
Christians. Muslims murdered IDF soldiers at Joseph's
Tomb.
Muslim mobs
burned Bibles and Jewish Prayer Books that
gave Praise and Glory to the One great G-D
and destroyed the Tomb.
In the Islamic invasion and filthy desecration of
Jesus Christ' birthplace, Church of Nativity,
Bibles were torn up for toilet Paper.
Inscribed in the Bible are the Laws
G-D gave to Moses;
the Laws our Western civilization is founded on:
Exodus 20:
"You shall not murder"
"You shall not commit adultery"
"You shall not steal"
"You shall not bear false witness"
Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession,
shall surely be put to death"
Leviticus 24:17 "If a man takes the life of any human
being, he shall surely be put to death"
Global Islamists seek the total destruction of
Western civilization.
Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Jewish Bible,
not once in the Koran.
G-D designated the Temple Mount to Jews for worship and prayer. Muslims on the Temple Mount engage repeatedly in massive rock throwing at Jews, turning the Temple Mount, the HOLIEST place on earth into a place of violence!
In hostile acts against Israel's G-D, Muslims perpetrated massive VANDALISM
and
DESTRUCTION at Judaism's HOLIEST site,
the Temple Mount:
http://www.har-habayt.org/
The OFFENSE to G-D is enormous!
The Temple Mount must be returned to its Jewish owners
immediately!
STOP Inciting Children to Kill ! http://www.teachkidspeace.com/flash.php
Palestinian Authority
society are taught murdering Jews is the highest goal in life and attains paradise:

Evidently Secretary Rice is taking marching orders from some of the old hands in the State Department, who are anti-Israel. She may even have anti-Israel guidance from President Bush. Bush claims to be a Christian but does not know his Bible which states that God will bless those who bless Israel and will curse those who curse Israel. By pushing israel to give up land belonging onlhy to God we are coming against God'd stated plan, which gave the loand to Israel forever.
I agree that Rice should stay in her plush office for all the good she does.

Ms. Rice ought to do her homework before she tackles issues that are beyond her scope of knowledge. I trust that the U.S. government will do its utmost to preserve the heritage of the Christians and Jews on the Temple Mount.
