And so it begins: UN calls on Israel to open nuclear program for inspection

What does this mean

It means the overwhelming majority of countries of the world don't want secret nuclear weapons programs. I can't see why anyone would disagree with this.

It's all nice talk, but this isn't about a nuclear-free middle east, it's about rising power of the UN and its new power bloc in the Mideast.

YES!!!
Want to bet they'll tell the UN to shove it???

the UN is rethinking it's creation and realises serious mistakes have been made.

no-one knows what it means, but it's provocative

israel will be running and hiding under the US skirt for protection very soon.

the problem (long-term) is that the US is forfeiting power to the UN

UN and anti-christ linked. He comes through the UN.

LOL You are sooooo misled. You people amaze me! It's so funny! Children in your mind really.

I think the samson option has something to do with it.Im sure they want to know just how much damage israel can do if she goes super villain on us.

i couldn't help but get a bad vibe from the president of the GA, who sat next to Ban Ki Moon during the vote.

Likud hopeful prays on Temple Mount, breaking taboo
Nationalist politician Moshe Feiglin ignores unwritten rule prohibiting Jews from worshiping at the site

Likud politician Moshe Feiglin on Monday violated the unwritten rule that prohibits Jews from practicing religion on the Temple Mount, as he prayed at the holy site.

Feiglin, a political hard-liner, is No. 15 on the Likud list for the upcoming elections and head of the Jewish Leadership faction with the right-wing party, a nationalist group defined by many as extreme.

Footage obtained by Channel 10 showed a group of Jews, including the likely future MK, as they prayed on the Temple Mount.

Feiglin recently wrote his political vision on Facebook, remarking that the mission would be over when “we build the [Jewish] Temple on top of the Temple Mount and fulfill our purpose in the land.”

Though there is no law against Jews praying on the Temple Mount, for years both Israeli officials and the Islamic Wakf — the religious group in charge of managing the site — have told Jews not to carry out religious ceremonies or prayers at the site, for fear of violence and a potential outbreak of riots.

The site is considered the holiest in Judaism; it was the site of the First and Second Temples. The esplanade is also revered by Muslims as the place where Mohammed ascended to heaven.

also, historically, hannukah, which begins saturday night,
is the time in which the first temple of Jerusalem was dedicated in the 2nd century CE.

The name "Hanukkah" derives from the Hebrew verb "chanach", meaning "to dedicate". On Hanukkah, the Jews regained control of Jerusalem and rededicated the Temple.
