    He needs to do something to distract from the news headlines about the awful start to his presidency, so he went for bigotry.

      Note that even crusaders didn’t demolished the mosque, though they turned the Dome into the church and rest of mosque into palace, later Knights Templar had their headquarters there. When Saladin liberated the city he turned it back to mosque with really urgent speed (and he also didn’t demolish but repurposed Templar additions).

        Herod built the first buildings there before the year 0. Romans destroyed it, then several iterations of buildings followed before the first mosque was built, razed, rebuilt, repurposed, repurposed again.

        This site is as culturally relevant as the Parthenon and the colloseum. Calling for it’s destruction is crazy.

    I hope he puts his money where his mouth is and sends Argentinian forces to Jerusalem. WHY NOT, AT THIS POINT!? Let’s get this show on the road!

    Edit: Whoops, not sure where Venezuela came from.

      You want the president of Argentina to send forces from Venezuela, a country on the other end of South America, to Jerusalem? A country out in the Middle East?
