Arutz Sheva ^ | 2/6/19

[Eleutheria5]

The riots on the Temple Mount resumed over the last hour when hundreds of Muslims began throwing stones, shoes, and chairs at the police stationed on the Mount

Following the attack, the police began to disperse the rioters, while the police used crowd dispersal measures. The rioters were pushed away.

All men (all persons) are created equal. But, alas, they are born into cultures. It is not correct that all cultures are created equal.

I wouldn’t throw my shoe at my worst enemy.

They cost a LOT and then I gotta walk home without a shoe.

Another day, another Arab temper tantrum.

Temple Mount riots resume

Ever since they took it back in 1967, I have wondered why the Israelis put up with having the muzzies control THEIR Temple Mount.

[Rurudyne]

Most Jews are secular. Do you think that secular Jews want religious Jews controlling the Temple Mount?

Of course the joke on them is that the “Temple Mount” may not be where the temple was at all because there’s no flowing water up there and water in large quantity was vital to the service of the Temple. Now, it turns out that within the City of David there was a place, where no stone remained standing one on the other (nudge wink) where there was not only an elevated space but it had a powerful natural spring that could in ancient times lift water all the way to the top of the hill and there is a good argument that that it is where the actual Temple was.

Okay Ru,
Where Is This Site?
I’m a little familiar with the
Area,,,
A side note,
I was sitting on a curb
Way far away from the
Wailing Wall writing a post card when
This Hasidic priest tapped me on the
Shoulder and informed me
That I could Not use my Pen!
He had a Very Stylish Hat,Robes
and very much the stern Gentleman.

In 1967, Moshe Dayan unilaterally stopped Jewish occupation of the Temple Mount because it was a active place of worship for Muslims but of merely historical interest to Jews.

There are a lot of problems with Jews reclaiming the Temple Mount:

Comments on the left reference “race” when they mean culture.

[Rurudyne]

I do not pretend to be an expert on the idea. I just have found it interesting.

As best I understand it it relies on things like ancient eyewitness accounts, or the account of Tacitus, that placed a spring within the confines of the Temple.

So then the Gihon.

Now, there could be pipes involved, I’m just saying that on my own accord, but this still has the likely site of the Temple being just where folks said it was: in the City of David.

Which has been associated with the southeast ridge since: “It was the indefatigable efforts of W.F.Birch in England with his numerous articles in the Palestine Exploration Fund Quarterly over that decade (along with the discovery in 1880 C.E. of the Hezekiahan inscription about the construction of the tunnel from the Gihon Spring to the southern end of the southeast ridge) that finally settled the controversy over the true location of “Zion.” It was then determined by the scholarly world that the former designation of the southwest hill in Jerusalem as “Zion” (what was written in Josephus as the “City of David” being located in the “Upper City”) was not the correct evaluation for the original site of “Zion.” So, the world finally learned (correctly so) that the southeast ridge was the actual site of “Mount Zion” (the true City of David) and that Jerusalem was built in ancient times around and over the Gihon Spring in order to have water from the only spring within a radius of five miles of the city.”

Like I said, it’s an idea.

When I read the account of David taking the city he says, IIRC, whoever climbs up into the city, for they’d taken the lower city but the citadel remained untaken.

If you are uncertain about the defenses of the low lying areas, and you don’t have a secret/hidden underground tunnel to get the water to come out within a more secure part of the city then a more vertical shaft before you start piping things around would make more sense, at least to my thinking, to early builders thinking these things through because it is defensible.

That David knew of the route suggest to me that the Jebusites maybe had forgotten it was a weakness they should have been concerned with. It should have been as secret as they could make it! He knew, maybe they didn’t care he knew (their attitude seems flippant) but even then David obviously realized it MIGHT be well guarded based on the reward he promised the guy who’d climb it (he wasn’t going) but it apparently wasn’t well guarded. You can bet David later had told folks to have adequately guards posted!

Humorously: “Hey, guys, you know how we took the city?” *smack* “Hey!” “That’s for the guy that forgets to guard it, make sure he knows it’s from me when he gets it.”
