Ellen Horowitz sent me this link on a Catholic take on the issue which I blogged about here.
Seems some of the comments are just up our alley.
But the point the needs be made is that why should we yield up property in the holy city of Jerusalem for a piece of real estate that is a) "outside the Land of Israel" and therefore, even if a synagogue was once there, it has no real intrinsic religious value any more; and b) even we were awarded it, what could we do with it? There are no Jews there, so who could be engaged in prayer services? Use it as a museum? A tourist center for the Golden Age of Spanish Jewry before they were all put to the auto de fe or expelled or forced to convert?
Doesn't make sense.
