    I asked chat GPT (whose extension is featured within my browser; though it requires regular logging in since each time I close the browser cookies are cleared). Here is its reply:


    "The issue of access to religious sites such as Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wall is complex and often tied to broader geopolitical and cultural considerations. The ideal situation would be one in which these sites are accessible and respected by people of various faiths, fostering an environment of coexistence and mutual respect.

    Both Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wall are sacred to Islam and Judaism, respectively, and have deep religious, historical, and cultural significance. In an ideal scenario, arrangements would be made to ensure that people of different faiths can visit and worship at these sites while respecting the sensitivities and religious practices of each community.

    The challenge lies in navigating the political complexities and historical tensions surrounding these areas. International efforts, dialogues, and peace-building initiatives could contribute to finding solutions that allow for the continued accessibility of these sites to people of various religious backgrounds, promoting understanding and tolerance.

    Ultimately, the goal should be to foster an environment where people can practice their faith, visit sacred sites, and coexist peacefully, recognizing the historical and religious importance of these places to different communities."


    I would tend to agree! What do you think? Al Aqsa is a very holy site for both Muslims (Palestinians who are Muslim) and is bordered by the Western Wall which is the holiest of sites for Jews and is located in Israel in Jerusalem; an area still named so there.

    I've been to the Wailing Wall and IMO, it would be great if there were no disputes over these "holy" sites.

    However, I think the children are spoiled and misbehaving and should have to go to their rooms and not be able to play with the Wall and Mosque because they don't know how to play nicely. Besides these religions are very exclusive, intolerant and disrespectful of others. That is the way of most established religions.

    The Israel situation is the perfect indictment of religion, showing exactly how things will soon be as fundamentalist religions overtake politics and Theocratic states dictate and enforce morality. Add to that the racist component of these religions and this is how world war III starts.
