The Temple Mount

It is the holiest place in the world for Jews.
There is no real other place.
It is where both temples stood and where a third temple will stand.
It is the only place in the world where Jews wish to pray and they cannot.
It is also the focal point for the new war or intifada as it is called.
The prime minister of Israel will be remembered for a lot of things but likely for announcing that Jews will not pray on HAR HABAYIT.
He has no authority in doing so and this action will not lessen violence in the short term even.
Denying the entrance of religious Jews who wish to pray is scandalous and smacks of weakness and fear.
Weakness and fear in the middle east is a recipe for disaster which has ostensibly started.
The violence will increase as the Arabs smell the fear that they have instilled in many in Israel.
Jews will pray in secret on the temple mount as there are many ways to do so even now.
One need not say words for certain prayers and prayer books are available on cell phones.
There is nothing that can stop in the long run prayer and presence of religious Jews and the eventual rebuilding of the temple there.
It is Jewish destiny.
