Whose temple did Samson destroy?
(Judges 16:23,29-30) . . .As for the Phi‧lis′tine axis lords, they gathered together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Da′gon their god and for rejoicing, and they kept saying: "Our god has given into our hand Samson our enemy!" . . .With that Samson braced himself against the two middle pillars upon which the house was firmly established, and got a grasp on them, one with his right and the other with his left hand. 30 And Samson proceeded to say: "Let my soul die with the Phi‧lis′tines." Then he bent himself with power, and the house went falling upon the axis lords and upon all the people that were in it, so that the dead that he put to death in his own death came to be more than those he had put to death during his lifetime.
I will divide this question into two parts:
1) Where do the Jews believe Abraham was to sacrifice his son? -- The Jews believe that Abraham brought Isaac to Mount Moriah in what is today Jerusalem to sacrifice Isaac. The Jews call this mountain the Temple Mount today.
2) What is this Muslim landmark called today? -- The Muslim name for the Temple Mount is the Haram ash-Sharif or the Noble Sanctuary. It sits beneath the Dome of the Rock in the Al-Aqsa Mosque Complex.
It is interesting to note that Muslims do not believe that Ishmael was sacrificed at this location, but instead somewhere in Saudi Arabia.
Why did Lamentation 1 v17 equate Jerusalem with a Menstruous Woman?
Quick reference; 1:17 Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them. One menstual woman among the Arabs is not a good thing. Also, menstual women tend to cause a lot of fuss as Moses found out.
According to the Jewish ceremonial law a menstruous woman was unclean for a seven day (Leviticus 15:19) period of time. The likening of Jerusalem to such was a metaphor for their uncleanness before God which remained uncleansed as they refused to heed the warnings of God's prophets, particularly Jeremiah.
There may be an allusion understood by the Jews to the fact of particular sins committed by King Manasseh which the Lord specifically said He would not pardon. 2Kings 24:2-4 refers to the shedding of innocent blood by Manasseh, referring to his idolatry in which he ceremonially slaughtered his own son by sacrificing him to the idol Molech, in Jerusalem. Obviously there is a connection between menstruation and child-bearing. The precious and innocent fruit of the womb being killed made Israel unclean.

Why did Nehemiah want the wall rebuilt?
Nehemiah wanted the walls of Jerusalem rebuilt for a few reasons. The most central was that Jerusalem needed to be defended against attack. The Jewish people only just returning to their national homeland after a 50 year exile in Babylon, and the locals saw the Jewish return as threatening and sought to attack it and nip it in the bud. Nehemiah had to rebuild the walls in order to protect his people.
Another similar reason is that he had to rally the morale of the people, who were quite despondent and expected the return to be miraculous and easy. It turned out to be hard, rocky, and economically draining. In order to keep the faith, Nehemiah had to accomplish something big and make the former capital of the Jewish people a respectable city once again. For that to happen, it had to be walled, since no respectable city was without a wall in those days.
