I have read the article that you had recommended and was quite interested in what Mr. Hunt was stating. Unfortunately, it is still too early to believe that Holy Land will be in the Israel's hands till armaggedon. It was Arab-Muslim land for hundreds of years prior to WWII. Not even one lifetime of governance yet and you think that the land is forever in one religion's hand. It was through inner Ottoman and Arab quarrels that the cake was snatched from under the bakers thumb. The American and British governments of that time were subliminally instigating uprising's within the Arab communities (it depends on what versions and sides of the story you believe). My apologizes for going off-topic, but it was initiated by your response to my response regarding Allah and allat. I hope you enjoy gambling as a hobby, because as a career you would not advance far with your misplaced wagers.

On a final note. I do not condone either sides stake to claim of the land. But, the land is not fought for religion anymore. It is for superficial greed and superiority. The Arabs as you should know, will wait for no matter how long it takes for an opportunity to present itself.

p.s. I was away for some time and that is why my reply was so long in it's creation.
