The Stern gang was not official. The Haganah was the state military. Antisemites and anti-Zionists attempt to make the Stern gang more important than what they were and they were put down by the Haganah. More incidentally than any Arab state has ever done with groups outside the official arena. > > You probably have heard of the 3rd Temple of Jerusalem that will be > built once a perfect red heifer is born. > What of it? The religious in Israel are not as powerful as you you think, not as powerful as the Christian right in America and those who believe in a 3rd Temple are really a fringe group. They are hardly worth mentioning unless you are trying to make something out of nothing. Most Israelis just like most Jews outside Israel are not religious at all even those who observe the Jewish calender and holidays because we're also not Christian. > http://www.templemount.org/heifer.html > > Arabs have holy places in Palestine too.

Everything is holy because it is a creed which is religion based. You seldom see an unbelieving Muslim. They're considered infidels and can be put to death anywhere in most Arab countries.
