#1 "There can be no Jewish state without Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty."

And there is the crux of the issue...

good luck boys,
they should let the Greek Orthodox guys run Jerusalem as a nuetral 3rd party, after all, they are there too.

#2 The Greek Orthodox? They are the most antisemitic flavour of Christianity, still holding firmly to "the Jews killed Christ" thingy. No thanks. Read Twain on his visit to that little shared church in Gethsemene (?) -- a Moslem family holds the keys, because none of the priests there trust any other.

#3 I vote for letting the Dali Lama run the place Jerusalem if you want the parties treated with kid gloves. Otherwise, let the Hindus run the place and everybody will get treated roughly...

No way... The Greek and Armenian Orthodox will kick the snot out of each other when they're not ganging up on the Roman Catholics.

The Indians are out because they'll try to erect some temple to a ram-headed snake thingy. The Chinese are out because they freak anytime they see someone doing ~~Tai-Chi For Jesus~~ Falang Gong and start running them over with tanks.

I guess that leaves the Japanese. I don't think they'll try to move the Chrysanthemum Throne to Jerusalem...

#7 Zephaniah 1:10 predicts wailing fome the New Quarter:
On that day, declares the LORD,
a cry will go up from the Fish Gate,
wailing from the New Quarter,
and a loud crash from the hills.

Evangelical Christians come to mind.
