Temple Mount Desecration: 'The Public Needs to Know'
Member of committee to preserve Temple Mount antiquities demands that secret report on Waqf be published - for the sake of the public.

The public needs to know the truth about antiquities on the Temple Mount, according to one official involved in the Jewish site's preservation.

Attorney Yisrael Kaspi, a member of the Committee to Prevent Temple Mount Desecration, stated to Arutz Sheva Saturday night that the full report regarding the Waqf's desecration of antiquities on the Mount needs to be revealed to the public.

"We're livid [that the report remains unpublished]," Kaspi declared. "[This is] harsh and severe - we unequivocally demand that this report be revealed in full to the public."

"The head of the Shin Bet and the Mossad said - contrary to the Prime Minister - that nothing justifies the imposition of secrecy," he continued.

Kaspi's comments refer to the contents of a secret report by the State Comptroller regarding the enforcement, or lack thereof, of the law at the Temple Mount.

The report was not made public in Israel because of concerns that doing so would result in violence. However, The Jewish Voice, a New York-based Jewish website got its hands on the report and published it in December.

The report reveals some disturbing truths about the methods taken by the Waqf to remove any ties that the Jewish people have to the Temple Mount and how Israeli institutions cooperated with these actions.

Among other revelations, the report shows that the Jerusalem Municipality, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) and other law enforcement officials do not operate on the Temple Mount. Only the police operates on the Temple Mount, but it avoids confrontation with the Waqf in order to maintain its good relations with it.

The Waqf is the Jordanian-run Islamic trust which administers the Temple Mount. It has been accused on numerous occasions of mounting a concerted campaign to "Islamize" the site by destroying ancient Jewish artifacts.

Kaspi said the confidential report strongly criticizes the policies of former Attorney General Menachem Mazuz, who prevented legal authorities from acting on the Temple Mount.

"The report paints a picture of incompetence, negligence and indifference of all government officials related to the most important archaeological site in the state of Israel," Kaspi fired. "The IAA, and the Israeli police, the Jerusalem Municipality - none of them have dealt effectively with the problem. Attorney General Menachem Mazuz abandoned the place at the mercy of the Muslim Waqf and stopped the ability of law enforcement agencies to address the issue."

Kaspi claims that Mazuz lied when he stated that he was unaware of the issue.

"We know the police approached him and so did the IAA; we also reported the destruction and vandalism [on the Mount]," Kaspi stated. "Today there is some improvement, but there are still serious problems - the Waqf continues to destroy all archaeological finds on the Mount as a matter of policy."

Kaspi's remarks follow news earlier this month that the Waqf has been illegally drilling on Judaism's holiest site, as revealed through telling video footage.

In addition to frequent vandalism, the Temple Mount is frequently closed to Jewish visitors and is often the site of anti-Jewish discrimination. Jews are prevented from praying or performing any other religious rituals, while Muslim visitors pray freely.

Muslim anger over the site has escalated since MKs have announced efforts to equalize prayer rights at the site, through legislation which would allow full religious freedom.

Have you ever been there? Its quite impressive. I cannot imagine Jewish people returning to animal sacrifice after 2000 years.

I really admire the Israelis for enduring such bull shit and not going postal on the Palestinians on a daily basis.

I once read that some Israelis equate the Palestinians to American ghetto Blacks.

They said NO ONE wants to live next door to them.

Not even other Arabs.

That's why their Arab 'brothers' in other countries don't give them a place to call home.

"Not in OUR neighborhood!" they say.

Yes, I took my grandmother. Had to go by way of Jordan on a day pass so as not to have our passports stamped. She had to go to every religious site where ever she traveled around the world.
Christians observe the blood sacrifice with Easter and Holy Communion, and every time they look at a cross or cross themselves. For Christians Jesus was the lamb.
Animal sacrifice not only was the willingness to give back to god, but it also was a way for people who often could not afford meat to be fed. The blood and hair was burned, the meat was shared. Why should they not return to sacrifice, Kosher butchery observe it with each and every animal, Muslims do as well. To bless a life given and to thank god....people, some, still say grace when they sit down to a meal.
Even if the sacrifice is symbolic it is a reminder of the Jerusalem temple and of Abraham's offering to God.

It was an inexpensive junket from Arabia every April.. so I went three times for two weeks each trip.. my brothers also made trips of their own.

Muslims reject blood sacrifice.. While that is not my creed I do understand why they think so.

Heritage

So every Muslim who came was in town or valley, and there came with them a group of Jews. Then he ['Umar] ordered them to sweep the holy place [the Temple site] and to cleanse it. 'Umar himself oversaw them at all times, and each time something was uncovered, he would ask the Jewish elders about the Rock, which was the Foundation Stone. Finally, one of their scholars indicated the precise boundaries of the place, as a result of which, it was uncovered. He commanded that walls be built around the holy site and that a dome be constructed over the Foundation Stone, and that it should be gilded.

After this, the Jews sent word to all the rest of the Jews in Palestine to inform them of the agreement that 'Umar had made with them.

Strange, you claim Muslims "don't believe in sacrifice", yet they are the only religion that brutally sacrifices the most animals on this planet. Were you an honor student at the Nation of Islam University of Stupidity?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha

Men, women and children are expected to dress in their finest clothing to perform Eid prayer in a large congregation is an open waqf ("stopping") field called Eidgah or mosque. Affluent Muslims who can afford, i.e. Malik-e-Nisaab; sacrifice their best halal domestic animals (usually a cow, but can also be a camel, goat, sheep or ram depending on the region) as a symbol of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his only son. The sacrificed animals, called aḍḥiya (Arabic: أضحية*, also known by its Persian term, Qurbāni), have to meet certain age and quality standards or else the animal is considered an unacceptable sacrifice.

This tradition accounts for the slaughter of more than 100 million animals in only two days of Eid. In Pakistan alone nearly 10 million animals are slaughtered on Eid days costing over US$3 billion. In addition, the welfare of the animals, and more importantly, how they are sacrificed is a source of great contention. Several contemporary videos on the internet of animals being sacrificed during Eid appear to show acts of extreme cruelty, suffering, and torture with a complete disregard for the animals' welfare. The Muslim community has yet to confront and deal with the issue of animal cruelty and welfare during Eid.

interestingly enough----during the EID SACRIFICE FEST------tons and tons of
meat are wasted----there is no actual mechanism to distribute it ---
among the 100s of millions of starving muslim children around the world.

Even more interesting SMALL MUSLIM children are eligible and do ----

die a slow agonazing death--------thanks for reminding us-----shaarmooooorah

And this isn't the only instance. During the yearly pilgrimage on their way to Mecca, the psychos sacrifice millions of animals in the hot Arabian desert, and then cover them with dirt. And Sharoona the Sharmoota tells us that "Muslims don't believe in sacrifice...I'm not Muslim...but I can understand..." Here's the kicker, the fool claims to "have lived in Saudi Arabia."

The public needs to know the truth about antiquities on the Temple Mount, according to one official involved in the Jewish site's preservation.

Attorney Yisrael Kaspi, a member of the Committee to Prevent Temple Mount Desecration, stated to Arutz Sheva Saturday night that the full report regarding the Waqf's desecration of antiquities on the Mount needs to be revealed to the public.

"We're livid [that the report remains unpublished]," Kaspi declared. "[This is] harsh and severe - we unequivocally demand that this report be revealed in full to the public."

"The head of the Shin Bet and the Mossad said - contrary to the Prime Minister - that nothing justifies the imposition of secrecy," he continued.

Kaspi's comments refer to the contents of a secret report by the State Comptroller regarding the enforcement, or lack thereof, of the law at the Temple Mount.

The report was not made public in Israel because of concerns that doing so would result in violence. However, The Jewish Voice, a New York-based Jewish website got its hands on the report and published it in December.

The report reveals some disturbing truths about the methods taken by the Waqf to remove any ties that the Jewish people have to the Temple Mount and how Israeli institutions cooperated with these actions.

Among other revelations, the report shows that the Jerusalem Municipality, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) and other law enforcement officials do not operate on the Temple Mount. Only the police operates on the Temple Mount, but it avoids confrontation with the Waqf in order to maintain its good relations with it.

The Waqf is the Jordanian-run Islamic trust which administers the Temple Mount. It has been accused on numerous occasions of mounting a concerted campaign to "Islamize" the site by destroying ancient Jewish artifacts.

Kaspi said the confidential report strongly criticizes the policies of former Attorney General Menachem Mazuz, who prevented legal authorities from acting on the Temple Mount.

"The report paints a picture of incompetence, negligence and indifference of all government officials related to the most important archaeological site in the state of Israel," Kaspi fired. "The IAA, and the Israeli police, the Jerusalem Municipality - none of them have dealt effectively with the problem. Attorney General Menachem Mazuz abandoned the place at the mercy of the Muslim Waqf and stopped the ability of law enforcement agencies to address the issue."

Kaspi claims that Mazuz lied when he stated that he was unaware of the issue.

"We know the police approached him and so did the IAA; we also reported the destruction and vandalism [on the Mount]," Kaspi stated. "Today there is some improvement, but there are still serious problems - the Waqf continues to destroy all archaeological finds on the Mount as a matter of policy."

Kaspi's remarks follow news earlier this month that the Waqf has been illegally drilling on Judaism's holiest site, as revealed through telling video footage.

In addition to frequent vandalism, the Temple Mount is frequently closed to Jewish visitors and is often the site of anti-Jewish discrimination. Jews are prevented from praying or performing any other religious rituals, while Muslim visitors pray freely.

Muslim anger over the site has escalated since MKs have announced efforts to equalize prayer rights at the site, through legislation which would allow full religious freedom.

How many times have I read on message boards and other places from Jews and Israelis and Zionists advocating the violent destruction of the Dome of the Rock and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on message boards and in newspapers and you Tova Dvorin whine about virtual nothingness.

These Jew hating scumbags sure know how to lie. I have yet to see ANYBODY advocating the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Me neither, but I would like to see one well placed Hellfire missle on that big, ugly yellow onion looking thing.

It was destroyed by Persians and Arabs. What exists now is about 200 yrs old.

Jews want a temple to return to animal sacrifice and complain about others, what hypocrisy.

I really admire the Israelis for enduring such bull shit and not going postal on the Palestinians on a daily basis.

I once read that some Israelis equate the Palestinians to American ghetto Blacks.

They said NO ONE wants to live next door to them.

Not even other Arabs.

That's why their Arab 'brothers' in other countries don't give them a place to call home.

"Not in OUR neighborhood!" they say.

Ugh!

I take it that you have never been to the Holy Land or anywhere else in the Arab world.

You are correct.

There are some folks who really dig the traveling thing.

Me?

From what I've seen of the world (all of it from THIS side of the US border...save for a day in TJ...) it's not that much better in person than it is on TV or film or in books or the internet.

However, I DID love the feel of history when I walked past the White House.

Otherwise, meh.
