Obama and Israel

Why exactly is the Secretary of State trying to dictate who can and can’t pray at a particular place? Does Kerry think that the Temple Mount is a public school?
Washington called for Israeli authorities to reopen the Temple Mount to Muslim worshipers Thursday, while also condemning the shooting of a US-born activist who lobbied for Jewish rights on the holy site
“It is absolutely critical that all sides exercise restraint, refrain from provocative actions and rhetoric, and preserve the historic status quo on the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount – in word and in practice,” Kerry said in a statement.
“The Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount must be re-opened to Muslim worshipers and I support the long-standing practices regarding non-Muslim visitors to the site,” he said.
What are those practices?
“Jews cannot worship atop the mount, only at the Western Wall.”
The Secretary of State of the United States just ordered Israel to limit prayers in a particular place to Muslims, not Jews. And apparently to ban other non-Muslims too.
Remember when the United States used to uphold religious freedom? These days it sends people to jail for offending Muslims and orders other countries to engage in religious discrimination on behalf of Muslims.
Temple Mount.
Good to see that Kerry has sided with the Islamists. Isn’t that a relief. /sarc
He’s worse than incompetent.
This matches up with the “Obama to replace Kerry” article...and also the “chickensh** statement.
I am lucky I have never met him, I would be in jail or worse.
But not worse than Obama. Or Plugs. Or Valerie.
Lurch speaks.
In way over his pay grade as a gigolo.
I miss PIAPS.
It is a sad miracle that Obola’s words and Kerry’s words
have CURSED the USA itself, once strong, free, and healthy
with their actions against the American people
destroying that strength, freedom, and health.
Yeah, it’s only the location of first AND second HEBREW temples! Why would the Jews be allowed to pray there?? /extreme sarcasm
They’re both disgusting, but I think that she may have a few IQ points on him.
And, exactly who, doesn’t understand Bibi’s loathing for Zero?
It seems to me that Jewish claims go back thousands of years. Mohammed lived in the 7th century. Who has a prior claim???
I coulda had a V-8, but Kerry coulda been President! Yikes, that was close. Thank you, God!
Kerry is an infallible prognosticator of the future.
He has an uncanny knack of choosing the wrong path.
Which ever way he goes is exactly the opposite of the way things will develop.
They don’t speak for me.
What part of Freedom of Religion doesn’t this clown understand? Even if the Middle East doesn’t guarantee FOR, no man can tell another man when, or where, he can pray. Certainly, a representative of a nation that has lived under the Billof Rights for more than 200 years should understand that.
