“In 1942, Menachem Begin arrived in British Mandate Palestine. At that time, only a narrow alley in front of the Western Wall was available for Jewish prayer, but even then certain rituals were banned. And at the conclusion of Yom Kippur, the British would arrest—and club—Jews who sought to sound the shofar or sing “Ha Tikvah.” To Begin this was intolerable.”

This ruling proves three things: 1. That the government of the modern state of Israel doesn’t truly see it as a “Jewish state” and 2. It is a lie that israel protects freedom of religion, because the only religion which isn’t fully protected is Judaism. 3. Leftism is a disease which infects everything it touches and the leftist judge made that obvious with this disgusting ruling.

Israel's refusal to Jewish claims on Temple Mount encourages Islamists

It is the un-Jewish “status quo” that Jordan, with American backing and Israeli acquiescence, is seeking to force on us all.

Israel’s unbelievably weak stance on the Temple Mount began almost immediately after Jewish control of it was reasserted after the Six Day War. In allowing Arabs to control it, they created a situation in which 1. Israel utterly failed to really secure the promise of a “Jewish state.” It’s not Jewish if Jews aren’t safe when praying at the holiest place in our religion. It’s also increasingly unsafe at the second holiest place, the Western Wall, and the third, The Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron. 2. Arabs have made it exceedingly clear that they view all of Israel as Muslim, just as they view all of the Temple Mount, and The Western Wall as “Al Aqsa.” This is a problem that has only gotten worse over the last 55 years. Israel has a chance now, because of the recent Israeli Supreme Court decision allowing Jews to pray in the Temple Mount, to finally assert some level of Jewishness in the most Jewish place on planet earth. Will they be strong enough to do it? Based on the situation since 1967 - no. I love Israel, and I love Israelis, but the government has always been run by cowards.

The Temple Mount: The Astonishing Israeli Concession of 1967

In a triumphant moment, Israel’s flag was hoisted over the newly conquered Temple Mount—then quickly taken down.

Moshe Dayan thought he was preventing bloodshed, and I am sure foremost on his mind was preventing Jewish bloodshed. But he made a mistake. You never surrender and inch of land to people who want to murder you. How much more so when you are talking about Judaism’s holiest place on earth? Ever since Israel relinquished control of the Temple Mount Arabs have used it as a propaganda tool. In fact their ability to do so has only expanded as they have conned large numbers of ignorant people into, against every bit of historical evidence, believing that Arabs in the region are a separate ethnic people called “Palestinian” who are the “real” indigenous people. Had the Israelis kept the Temple Mount, it would have sent the message to the world that ALL of Israel is Jewish, they aren’t afraid to proudly proclaim it, and that Arabs are welcome to live and pray anywhere in Israel, including the Dome of the Rock, ONLY if they accept the reality of the situation. Instead, now we have a “Jewish” state where Jews aren’t allowed to pray at the most revered place in our religion and in our history.
