The Latest Dispute in Jerusalem is over a medieval cellar under the Holy Sepulchre 

This is a good example of what happens when people really don’t want to get along or resolve their differences. This stupid cellar could be shared. For 800 years it’s been of no use to anyone. But no. Instead these people have decided to do the equivalent of dogs pissing on their territory. Useless. Exacerbates conflict. Destructive.

If all anyone tries do in an argument is be right, no one will ever win.

The Holy Sepulchre is supposed to be, you know, holy. All it really seems to ever cause is bitterness, fighting and resentment. Very holy. Consider this:  “Since then they have posted guards at strategic points in the church, 24 hours a day. The status quo is so sensitive that it is impossible even to replace a rotted wooden door for fear of violating agreements.”

The whole place is going to fall apart because no one can manage to get along. Glad they value it that much.
