Jerusalem compare and contrast actions by Jordan and Israel

After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War the Western Wall came under Jordanian control and Jews were barred from the site for 19 years until Israel captured the Old City in 1967.

Since 1967 Israel has not restricted access for Muslims to the Dome of the Rock or the Al-Aqsa Mosque despite them being partly built on top of the site of 'the Temple'; what would be the holiest site in Judaism had it not been destroyed. Indeed the Western ('Wailing') Wall is all that remains of the Second Temple.

Quite a contrast isn't it but not one that the BBC, William Hague, Barack Obama or the United Nations are in the slightest bit interested in.
