Modern Times

The Source of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict —— Temple Mount
The ancient Jewish classic records: "The world can be compared to a person's eyes, and the white of the eye is the ocean around the world; Black eyes are the earth where people live; The pupil is Jerusalem; The face in the pupil is the temple. "The Temple Mount in Jerusalem, hence its name, has experienced vicissitudes and become the third holiest place in Islam. The biggest crux of the bloody conflict between Palestine and Israel for more than half a century lies in the status of the holy city of Jerusalem; The source and focus of the battle for Yecheng are focused on the ownership of the Temple Mount. In 2000, it was precisely because Sharon, the leader of Likud Group at that time, broke into here and ignited the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that has continued to this day.
Although it is called the Temple Mount, when we step into it, we can't find any shadow of the hill. Looking around, we can only see a rectangular stone building group and lush trees. In fact, the Temple Mount is still the name handed down by ancient Jews. In Christian legend, this stone is also considered to be the place where God crushed Adam, the ancestor of mankind, with mud.
In the 10 century BC, the brilliant Hebrew king Solomon built the first temple here, in which the sacred "Ark of the Covenant" was stored. Jerusalem was destroyed by Babylon in 586 BC, then the temple was destroyed and rebuilt in 520 BC, but it was completely destroyed in the second century AD, and the Jews were also expelled from their homeland and scattered around the world.
Palestinians on the Temple Mount call this place a "holy land". Because there are thousands of years old Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jinding Mosque on the site of Jewish temple. Jerusalem has also become the third largest Islamic holy place after Mecca and Medina.
Stepping on the Temple Mount, almost every brick has a story, a history, mystery or sadness. For Jews and Muslims, the Temple Mount has penetrated into their hearts. However, this overlap of holy places immediately turned into religious disputes and historical grievances, which made Fiona Fang, a place less than 0. 135 square kilometers, bear too many vendettas and blood and tears; To some extent, it dominated the confrontation between Palestinians and Israelis until it intensified into a bloody conflict in 2000.
