Jews Arrested for Allegedly Daring to Pray on Temple Mount

[Lipush]

Rabbi Yisrael Ariel of the Temple Institute and activist Yehuda Glick were arrested Thursday morning on the Temple Mount.

An eyewitness told Arutz Sheva that the two were violently arrested at the exit to the holy site. Police dragged the men on the ground, he accused.

Police said the two were arrested for praying and bowing down while visiting the Temple Mount, which is the holiest place on earth according to Judaism, and the site where the First and Second Temples once stood.

While Jews are allowed to visit the site, they are forbidden to pray, for fear that Jewish prayers would inflame tension at the site. Muslim worshipers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque have frequently rioted and attacked Jews in the past when it seemed that Jews would be allowed more freedom on the Temple Mount; the riots have been encouraged by PA and Muslim leaders, who tell their followers that Jews are plotting to take over the area and rebuild the Temple.

Israel is the only country in the world in which Jews get arrested for practicing their religion

Shame on the Israeli government

Nearly all Haredi rabbis are also of the opinion that the Mount is off limits to Jews and non-Jews alike.[78] Their opinions against entering the Temple Mount are based on the danger of entering the hallowed area of the Temple courtyard and the impossibility of fulfilling the ritual requirement of cleansing oneself with the ashes of a red heifer.[79][80] The boundaries of the areas which are completely forbidden, while having large portions in common, are delineated differently by various rabbinic authorities.

What would be more interesting to know is the enormous number of sites where Hindu and Buddhist temples, Christian churches, and Jewish synagogues once stood where a mosque is now situated on the site. There was a Hindu on some website who listed an enormous amount of mosques that now stood on Hindu temples after the temples were destroyed. We saw what they did to those Buddhist statues so I think we can easily imagine what they did to the houses of worship of others.

How should I respond to this story?

I have read the government of Saudi Arabia makes it unlawful for Christians to pray there.

I read here Israel makes it unlawful for Jews to pray at a certain site in Occupied East Jerusalem.

It seems like these two governments have something in common.

We see these issues with religious governments.

But at least Saudi Arabia is not an Occupier, these two countries do not share that with each other.

What do Muslims have to do with the wailing wall?

They say that the Temple never existed, that it's a Jewish Hoax.

Once they wish to pray there, they'll have to admit Judaism as the truth.

Tell me once THAT happens.

its part of the foundation of Solomon's Temple.

Muslims revere Solomon, or Suleiman, as a Prophet of God.

Muslims should be able to pray at the Wailing Wall in large groups if they so choose, just as Jews should have their own spot on the Temple Mount.

 

[Hoffstra]

Let groups of Muslims pray at the Wailing Wall.

Then groups of Jews can pray on the Temple Mount.

People who want to pray on the Temple Mount should start packin' heat. Open carry of course. Preferably a Glock 17.

 

[Hoffstra]

Let the Muslims pray the Western Wall, and Jews pray at the Temple Mount.

fair is fair.

 

[Alfalfa]

Can women pray anywhere at the Western Wall?

 

[Lipush]

Let groups of Muslims pray at the Wailing Wall.

Muslims don't want to pray at the wailing wall.

 

[Lipush]

Can women pray anywhere at the Western Wall?

Everywhere in the women's section

 

[SherriMunnerlyn]

I am so thankful I am a Christian and Gods presence lives inside of me and not on a temple mound or mount or whatever it is.

I can pray anywhere.

I have to just pity these people who have to get arrested to experience Gods presence.

 

[Alfalfa]

Can women pray anywhere at the Western Wall?

Everywhere in the women's section

Why can't they pray in the men's section? Is the Wailing Wall a restroom? How big are the men and women's sections?

Have any women been arrested for praying in the men's section? If so, by whom?

Why was the pope asked to remove his cross when he went to pray at the WW?
