I can easily relate to solidarity in the face of physical attack. I'm not half as sure about ideological solidarity. Maybe it needs to be fleshed out as to what the benefits and the disadvantages are. It's weird how it's a bit like a new civil war in America these days.

My understanding of it is that some Christians believe the world as we know it will end when the third temple is established on the temple mount where the Dome of the Rock is now. Curiously, I've also come across a video that claims the first two temples were never on the plateau known as the Temple Mount but were built on an area lower down. The video said the Roman army was barracked on the high plateau.
