Can any anti-Zionist tell me the difference between the Black Hills and the Temple Mount?

Between Mount Rushmore and the Dome of the Rock?

Between the Great Sioux Reservation and Israel?

Somehow that made me think of this...

After the Israeli occupation of East Jerusalem in 1967, Israeli officials were in direct control of the holy sites. [...] When it came to the Western Wall, the desire to make the site into a national Jewish monument was finally achieved.

Within days, the Mughrabi Quarter, a medieval neighbourhood that stood next to the wall, was entirely depopulated and razed to the ground to make room for a huge plaza. From a hidden wall, seen only from close proximity, it became a monumental stage, used not only for prayer but also for state and military ceremonies.

I don't know the Old Testament verse that justifies that. Is it something like "Thou shall destroy anything obscuring monuments to God so that the monuments look more impressive on the teevee."
