Conversations on the Temple Mount – Chapter 117: Five Minutes in Heaven

by time news

The “Conversations on the Temple Mount” project is intended to make accessible to the entire people of Israel and to the entire world the centrality of the place since ancient times in history, archaeology, culture and religion. In this series of conversations, various conversations will be held with a variety of figures in Israeli society, on the subject of the Temple Mount in its many parts.

Chapter 117: The Temple Mount, Five Minutes in Heaven

Recently, many people have been contacting me and asking how and why the Jews who go up to the Temple Mount complain about a lack of sovereignty in the holiest place for the people of Israel in particular and humanity in general.

Therefore, I produced a special video that accompanies them from the moment they enter the mountain until they leave.

As you will see in the video, the Jews are not allowed to walk freely on the Temple Mount during the few hours they get, during the day that is, three and a half hours in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. Hours that are borderline impossible for a full-fledged Jewish citizen who works and pays taxes and who is not unemployed, and he wants to get to the Temple Mount.

Also, they are accompanied by policemen who manage them throughout their stay in the mountain, often raiding them as if they were detainees, for a crime they never committed. The Jews are afraid of the police looking for an excuse to arrest them and keep them away from the mountain, as happened in the recent and distant past with activists who work to encourage Jews to come to the mountain.

I don’t know what comes first, the chicken or the egg – the hostile Arabs, who try to provoke provocations when Jews are present on the mountain, or the cowardly behavior of the police, who are so afraid of the reaction of the Arabs, thus provoking their violent urge to hurt or provoke provocations while the Jews are walking on the mountain.

I personally encountered a policeman who told me not to photograph Arab women sitting in the mountain area because he was afraid that they would provoke.

That is, the policeman forbids me to perform my duties as a journalist because he is afraid of provocation. It’s like telling a battered woman you shouldn’t tweet next to your violent husband because tweeting incites violence in him!

Conclusion: the system is sick and needs to go through healing processes!
