    My guess is the logic goes like this:

    1. Start WW3
    2. while fighting destroy the al-Aqsa mosque
    3. Rebuild the temple for the 3rd time
    4. Await the messiah and thus end of the world anyway

      I’m really not understanding this whole “start WWIII” bit. This is, at best, a proxy war. None of the other countries are going to risk that kind of political or economical power to fight over this tiny strip of land, that has already been in its own private little war for six decades, anyway. Especially not for middle-eastern territories. The old white guys in the Western world care as much for that region as they do for African countries, which is to say not fucking much. And the last major war that was fought there that even involved the Western countries was called the “Six-Day War” for a reason.

      WWII started because Hitler actually took over entire first-world countries. This is no comparison.
