How can the US have ANY right to state a belief that the status quo must be maintained on the Temple Mount in Israel. I've always wondered - what right do other countries believe they have to tell Israel, another sovereign nation, what to do! This literally infuriates me! The day will come when the God of all gods will stand and defend Israel. To me that day could not come soon enough!!
