1) Israel approved new housing in East Jerusalem
2) The Hurva Synagogue is being rededicated since its just finished being rebuilt.
I can see why the building in east J is an issue but the anger over Hurva just seems like an excuse to get angry. The Hurva Synagogue was destroyed by Arabs in 1948, it was a war, but rebuilding should be expexted. I don't know the history or politics well enough to go into it. But I do know the whole Israel/Palestinian issue is complex and the solution requires not getting mad at each other over any and every little thing. Today there was a little yelling match between between pro Israel and pro Palestinian supporters in front of the University. Non of the throwing rocks and lighting things on fire that happened a little in the old city, students are too smart for that... Despite the news life continues as normal.
