Hamas terrorists announced a “day of rage” set for Tuesday in response to Israel reopening an ancient synagogue in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter.

The Hurva Synagogue was finally completed in 1856. Designed in a grand Neo-Byzantine style, it was one of the largest buildings in the Old City. (Boker tov, Boulder)
Haaretz reported, via Free Republic:
Warnings of widespread violence in Jerusalem on Monday proved to be unneeded, but police say the real test will be Tuesday.
Hamas announced a “day of rage” in response to the dedication of the restored Hurva synagogue in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter, police said. Large forces will continue to be deployed throughout the city, with 3,000 police and border police officers stationed in East Jerusalem and neighboring villages.
Limitations on access to Muslim prayers on Temple Mount will continue for the fifth day. Members of the Higher Arab Monitoring Committee are set to hold a procession in the east of the city on Wednesday. Jerusalem on Monday was tense but quiet. Around noon, Palestinians began throwing stones near the Mount of Olives cemetery, but no injuries were reported.
At 6 P.M., scores of youths hurled stones at Border Police troops from the Palestinian side of the Qalandiya crossing, north of Jerusalem. The youths were dispersed, and the crossing closed.
Barack Obama’s church of 20+ years supported Hamas over Israel.
UPDATE: Here are more pictures of the renovated synagogue.

“America’s allies”? “for the past 100 years”? LOL. Get real.
What is “sad” is that your knowledge and understanding of history and current events is, I suspect, limited to what you have done since you got out of bed today.
When has Israel [ever] provided troops to support our troops in [any] war?
(Yeah, right, they were with us in Korea and in Viet Nam, weren’t they? Hell, those useless putzes didn’t even bother to assist us in Desert Shield or in Desert Storm or in Operation Iraqi Freedom when they had a vested interest to have done so. They just sat on the sidelines, wringing their hands gleefully, while we fought their battles for them, and while [our] soldiers and airmen died to defend their freedom.)
They are con artists, whiners, parasites and ingrates, who have been a thorn in this country’s side for the past 62 years. For 62 years now, they have been taking billions of dollars from this country’s taxpayers, while playing the USA for suckers whenever they can.
Tell me one thing, just one thing that they do that we we could not do without? They’re a waste of good oxygen. If the Muslims obliterated them, it would solve many of this world’s problems.
I hate MORONS commented:
I shouldn’t even respond to the last dumbass answer, but it’s too richly asinine to let pass:
At the time of the Korean war, Israel was weak, small, and still trying to coalesce the tiny bit of land won from the PalArabs in the 1948 war. Fast forward to Vietnam, and during it, Israel fights another war for survival against the Russky-backed Egyptians and Syrians, and French supplied Jordanians.
During the first war against Saddam, Israel was KEPT OUT BY THE US, and asked to not respond to the Scuds lobbied into the heart of Israel.
Israel has always supplied pooled intelligence with the US. Also, look up…do it, please, look and see how much of the backbone of the Internet was discovered in Israel, how many scientific advances and Nobel Prizes have come from Israelis…and how much comes from the right up their in the foreign aid lists…Egypt. How many things come from Egypt?
COTTON. That’s it. They sided with the Russians when Russia was our enemy in the cold war. Israelis bled and died because they were the proxy warriors for American kids to see how weaponry supplied and oft-modified in Israel, by the US, would stand up against the Russkies.
So let’s see…Israel discovers thousands of products to help the world…(check the patents, check the nobel prize winners)…Israel sides with and works with (even with disagreements over the years, go figure!)….Egypt gave us cotton.
Oh yeah, the Saudis deign to give us oil. So we suck ‘em off and to give us a bonus, they hired some kids to fly some jets into DC and NYC and a Penn field.
Where are the Jewish terrorists? Oh, but Christians are murdered all over the world, you dirt f**king bag, but no one seems to give a s**t, because Israel must be stirring them up. Nigerian and Kenyan and Phillpino and Indonesian mass killings of Christians…all Israel’s fault.
I’m tired of this. Stupid won’t bother being less stupid. Would like that you should just go to hell, Mr. Hater.
Just a thought commented:
Let me give you an analogy that will show why Israel does [not] have a right to exist, and why they are disliked by so many other Semites in that region of the world.
Suppose that, back in 1910, a family owned a piece of property in Miami Beach, but then, because they were always so obnoxious that their neighbors had ostracized them, they decided to pack up all of their belongings, and to then move to Brooklyn, where their descendants continued to live for the next 100 years, abandoning their property in Miami Beach and firmly establishing themselves in Brooklyn, and not even bothering to check on or to pay any taxes on that property in Miami Beach.
Over the next 100 years, too, the people of Miami Beach took possession of that property that had been abandoned by those people who had gone to Brooklyn, and they built homes on that property and, for generations, they raised their families on that property and they paid taxes on that property and they built it up with their sweat and hard work, considering it to be their own, since it had been abandoned and since they had developed it, also.
Now put yourself in their place, and think of yourself as one of the descendants of the people who had built homes on that property and who had been raising families on that property ever since it was abandoned 100 years ago.
But then, because the people of Brooklyn became so exasperated with the obnoxious behavior of those immigrants from Miami Beach, too, that they decided to send those imigrants back to Miami Beach to get rid of them, the people of Brooklyn seized that property unlawfully, evicting current residents whose families had lived there for generations ever since that property was abandoned, and they sent those obnoxious people to again live on that property that their ancestors had abandoned.
Wouldn’t you be just a wee tad bit upset, too, if you were one of those people who was evicted by those bullies from Brooklyn, who relocated those obnoxious people to your neighborhood just to get rid of them? The people of Brooklyn didn’t want them, but they expected you to tolerate them.
The only difference between my analogy and the situation in the Middle East today is that those obnoxious people abandoned their neighborhood 1,500 years ago, not 100 years ago. Too bad, but they were [not] entitled to seize Israel 1,500 years after their ancestors had abandoned it.
It was consistent with their presumptuous and obnoxious behavior, though. They haven’t learned a thing in 3,000 years. They continue to be as obnoxious as they ever were. [That] is why they make such lousy neighbors.

“If the Muslims obliterated them, it would solve many of this world’s problems.”
Spoken like a true nazi, “Just a thought”. ‘sides. The moosels obliterate the Jews, and you think they’d stop there? Kill the infidels where you find them The so called “holy book” named koran (or qu’ran or whatever you want to call it) orders the good “muslim” to kill infidels. First the Jews. Then Europe. Then the US. Then you. It’s the goal of islam. It wants to dominate the world.
I really wish sharia law on your ass, infidel pig. Let’s see how you’d like that.
“The only difference between my analogy and the situation in the Middle East today is that those obnoxious people abandoned their neighborhood 1,500 years ago, not 100 years ago. Too bad, but they were [not] entitled to seize Israel 1,500 years after their ancestors had abandoned it.”
The other difference is, that it’s total BS from a historic point of view. But historic facts never matter to nazi scum like you.
Andreas K. commented:
Why is it BS?
Because, ah, ever heard of the Roman Empire and how they held pretty much all of Europe and even parts of the Middle East? The Jews didn’t abandon anything. Some left, some stayed. The kingdom of Israel was never re-established, simply because there was no way. The Roman Empire split, Eastern Rome took over, then islam came and took over the area, then the Crusaders came and took over and so on. The Jews were always caught in the middle. The mohammedans butchered them, the Christian knights butchered them. Gotta love being a Jew, no?
Historic fact is, there were still Jews in the area of Israel. Even after the diaspora. When the Jews returned, and ironically nazi scum like you likes to ignore that little fact, the Arabs sold parts of the friggin’ desert to them at totally outrageous prices. That’s a fact. And then, other Arabs tried to murder them right away while the British watched and picked their noses.
Seize Israel. Ah yes, there it is, Arafat’s lie of how the Jews “stole” the land, the mantra of the Jew haters of the world. This is a claim based on really nothing else but… well, not even hot air. It’s just crap. There’s no a single historic fact to support it.
You also realize that nobody wanted that land? It was a desert. Rocks, sand, and that was it. The Jews bought it and worked their butts off to turn it what it is today.
You know what a “Palestinian” is in the basic meaning of the world?
A Jew.
Because it was the Romans who renamed Judea to Palestinia, for rather obvious reasons.

Wow, Just a Thought, you’re a really ignorant and vicious little anti-Semite.
Just a thought commented:
By their very nature, most Americans are good, kind, generous and compassionate people, which makes this country the great country that it is.
But with Israel, your compassion is misplaced, because the people of Israel bring all of their problems on themselves with their obnoxious behavior, and because you’re delusional if you think that the selfish and self-centered, spoiled brats of Israel would lift a finger to help us as we have been helping them for the past 62 years.
The reason why they continue to be as obnoxious as they are is because bleeding hearts like you feel sorry for them, instead of showing them tough love by getting them to clean up their act. They exploit your kind-heartedness, too, playing you for a sucker every chance that they get. They aren’t victims. They are sly, immoral and unscrupulous predators, who use, manipulate and continue to make fools out of good, kind and decent people.
Slowly, but surely, the rest of the world has been awakening to that fact. Other Semites in the Middle East awakened to that fact 3,000 years ago. A billion Semites can’t be wrong. They are human beings, too, not the evil savages that the sleazy people of Israel demonize them and portray them to be for their own evil, self-serving purposes.
BTW, FYI, those evil, dastardly, Muslims in Turkey sent troops to fight and to die alongside of our troops in Korea, and they put their own lives in jeoprardy again when they allowed us to put ICBMs in their country as a deterrant to Soviet aggression, and as members of NATO, [they] have been one of our strongest and most loyal allies for the past 60 years, providing us with invaluable intelligence on terrorist organizations, also. What have the decadent people of Israel done to help this country that was even marginally comparable to what those dastardly Turks did to save American lives?
Just a thought commented:
Those dastardly Muslims from Saudia Arabia fought [and died] alongside French and U.S. soldiers in Kuwait during Desert Storm, and their airmen flew many missions over Iraq. Gee, where were those, um, valiant soldiers and pilots from Israel during Desert Shield and Desert Storm?
BTW, FYI, Arabs, Iranians, etc., are Semites, too. Did you know that? Yeah, right, I’m an anti-Semite, you dolt. As I said, your knowledge and understanding of history is, I suspect, limited to what you’ve done since you got out of bed today. I’m laughing here at your silly revisionist history that you’ve been disingenuous enough and deceitful enough and ignorant enough to post here today. You could put all of your knowledge about the Middle East and its people in a thimble, and still have plenty of room left for what you know about U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
Just a thought commented:
Another issue that has a direct bearing on the aforementioned issues …..
For reasons too numerous to list here,I have always been very fond of George Bush, Dick Cheney and their wives, and, in fact, I actively and aggressively campaigned for them.
But they screwed up [big time] when they invaded Iraq, which was not a threat to us.
In view of their history of animosity towards this country, and for logistical reasons in view of their close proximity to Afganistan, another trouble spot in the Middle East, and in view of already established military bases on the ground which would have been much better staging areas for our ground troops, and in view of their known links to terrorist oganizations, also, the logical, sensible, rational and practical choice would have been to have invaded Iran, all of which were points which the Joint Chiefs Of Staff raised with those two cowboys, Bush and Cheney, only to have been overruled for reckless reasons.

JAT, I have a lot of relatives living in Israel, most of them little kids. For you to say their obliteration would “solve many of the world’s problems” makes me sick. You think you get to judge who is obnoxious and who is not. I say YOU are obnoxious. Saying Jews cause many of the world’s problems is pure anti semitic scapegoating.

Yeah, I get that a lot from girls (mostly blondes) …, and that I’m arrogant and conceited, too.
Be that as it may, your argument is specious, and I’ve got to ask you, “pure anti semitic scapegoating”, is that something kinky, because you already lost me with that one.
Get back to me with a valid argument, or concede that you don’t have one.

For Just A Fart to say it about Israeli Jews says things that aren’t good about him. (Say it about Islam and I’ll give ya a “Hell, yeah!”)
Opus, I couldn’t help but notice Just A Fart doing the online flirting thing with you. Your pic showing your blonde hair is what had him trying to make the moves on you, which is why his insult of you focused on your blonde hair, in case you wondered why he pulled that, of all things, out of his @$$. Not that he would have gotten anywhere with you, but still you dodged a bullet when he showed his true colors (or his @$$) before the day that the flirting started was over. Unabated, his flirting could have become very annoying to you, perhaps even making you feel uncomfortable here because of it. So, see? God does side with those who side with Israel.

“Before you get up on your high horse, sanctimoneously and self-righteously pontificating about the Nazi-like evilness of the UAE, perhaps you should consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe Arabs, Iranians and their ilk in the Middle East have [legitimate] reasons for distrusting and despising the Jews …, who have never been known for having ethics or integrity or for having any class or any sense of fair play.
Their animosity towards the Jews has been going on for 3,000 years, which tells me that there is something going on there about which Americans are ignorant, and so maybe Americans should butt out and mind their own business and Israel fend for itself. After all, what the hell have they done for this country? They take billions of dollars in foreign aid from us, and do nothing to earn it. By sympathizing with them, and by going along with their whiny and wussy claim that they’re the victims, you’re playing right into their hands, and you are a sucker. They will shake your hand and steal your wallet out of your pocket at the same time.
Think rationally here. Don’t you realize that their are rational reasons why [billions] of Muslims detest a few million Jews?”
