“Even more interesting is the fact that the Jewish Temple was located in Israel, not in the UK.”

The principle remains. After all, if this is ONLY about the UK, those of us in America can ignore it. However, when Ginsberg is in search of international law to inform her on how to interpret the US Constitution, I’m sure she’ll notice this.

As another analogy - do they tax mosques in the UK because women are not given total access? Do they tax the percentage of a Baptist church occupied by a baptistry because only converts are allowed to be baptized? Does a church of sincere believers - even if misguided believers - have the right to set policies and still be granted religious freedom? Or is America the ONLY hope for religious freedom left?

Or Orthodox synagogues?

Actually, of course, the Temple was not located in “Israel,” which did not exist at the time, it was located in the Roman province of Judea. As the Romans pointed our very forcefully in 70 AD.
