Just over half the wall,dates from the end of the Second Temple period, having been constructed around 19 BCE by Herod the Great. The remaining layers were added from the 7th century onwards. The Western Wall refers not only to the exposed section facing a large plaza in the Jewish Quarter, but also to the sections concealed behind structures running along the whole length of the Temple Mount, such as the Little Western Wall–a 25 ft (8 m) section in the Muslim Quarter.
On March 9 there will be a fundraising dinner 4 the Israeli Occupation Forces, which murdered 1,400 Palestinians, including more than 400 children, in Gaza last year. The criminal Gabi Ashkenazi, Chief of IDF General Staff, will be there.We will be there too! Stand with the people of Palestine! Demand the end of U.S support to Israel! Arrest and prosecute Ashkenazi and all Israeli War Criminals! Protest! Tuesday, March 9th-6 pm Outside the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel 49 St. and Park Avenue,Manhattan

What I do not understand is why the gazans thought launching 6,000+ rockets into israel was a good idea? Did they think that israel would not react eventually? Did the gazans think launching those 6,000 rockers would somehow improve their lives? Did the gazans think about the well being of their children? Did they think at all or did they let their hate blind them to the point they have become irrational?
The people of Gaza have every right to resist. Israel has been engaging in collective punishment of Gaza since Gaza committed the crime of democratically electing Hamas. Israel has maintained a blockade of Gaza which has denied the people everything from school supplies, to oil, food, and medicine. Israel, in fact, has attacked the West Bank in the same way, in spite of the fact that the West Bank fired no rockets into Israel (so, obviously this isnt about rocksts). Long Live the Intifada!
actually, the west bank has left Israel alone and still it has come under the iron fist of Israel. It proves that the seize of Gaza had nothing to do with Hamas rockets
@NYCTeacher1 "democratically electing Hamas".....a terrorist organization and nothing more. The Palestinians should be absorbed by Egypt, or Jordan or Iran or Syria.........Jerusalem has never been theirs.....it has belonged to Israel for centuries.......the wailing wall is proof of that because it is the ruins of the old temple of Solomon and the old city of Jerusalem. Israel was attacked by five Islamic nations and defeated them in 1967, why should they give up what is theirs?
@dmhtuber By that logic, London should be handed over to modern-day Italians because of the presence of Roman ruins and Muslims all over the world are justified in claiming Spain as theirs because of its Moorish history. I am sure you ONLY apply your logic, however, to Palestine.

The West Bank has left Israel alone, and Israel has left the West Bank alone.
I guess Hamas in Gaza still hasn't gotten the hint.
