The army and police arrested several Jewish worshipers on Tuesday evening after they broke through a barrier in order to pray at the tomb of Biblical leader Otniel Ben Kenaz.

The army and police arrested several Jewish worshipers
on Tuesday evening after they broke through a barrier
What an outrage!
They should be able to break through any barrier they like!
The outrage is that the barrier was erected. Instead of protecting peaceful worshipers at an ancient shrine, to which they’ve always been allowed, from angry Ramadanadingdongs who might decide to attack them, they choose to bar the peaceful worshipers from the shrine. Result: they stop being peaceful.
The more the Ramadanadingdongs threaten to act out, the more the peaceful Jews get curtailed. So passivity and peacefulness doesn’t pay. Violence or the threat of violence does. The only avenue for recourse, then, is to once more take up the path of Yaakov Meridor, Moshe Stern and Menachem Begin. This is only starting. I’m only observing and prognosticating.
Jews barred from prayers, due to Ramadan. That’s something that could catch on worldwide. Very un-multicultural of the Jews, praying where the normally pray.
