Four Jews Detained at Temple Mount, Accused of Bowing
Virtual Jerusalem ^ | 6/19/2013

Posted on 06/19/2013 4:22:27 PM PDT by Former Fetus

Four Jewish Israelis were detained by police during a visit to the Temple Mount for praying at the site.

The four, identified as teenagers, were arrested Wednesday and taken for questioning. Police told the Times of Israel that the four prostrated themselves on the mount.

A rabbi also visiting the site told Israel National News that the four did not bow down while on the Temple Mount.

Jews generally are not permitted to pray or bring any ritual objects to the Temple Mount, which is considered Judaism's holiest site, in order to avoid confrontation with Muslim worshipers at the Al-Aksa Mosque, Islam's third holiest site. The site is overseen by the Muslim Wakf, the Muslim religious administration charged with managing the Temple Mount site.

Shame! These 4 teenagers have more guts than the whole Israeli government. Modern day Daniels, they won't allow anything to keep them from praying!

I see it as a great way to prevent another holocaust from happening.

Jews have not been authorized to have official prayer on the Temple Mount since it recapture in 1967.

Since around 2005, Jews have not been allowed to say even private prayer. For about a year, even to act like one MIGHT say prayers there can get you arrested.

do they hand something out to people to tell them this?

I really would like to go over to that area if it ever settles down from the current situation but don’t want to be put in prison for doing something not allowed.

There used to be signs all over, and of course, guides explain the rules.

I am so confused that the Israelis have given control of the Temple Mount to muslims. I have never understood this.

I wailed at the wailing wall. I defied anyone to stop me.

“I wailed at the wailing wall.”

Why? You do know what that wall represents, don’t you?

A a Jew I guess I don't have a clue ...Jews from all countries, and as well as tourists of other religious backgrounds, go to pray at the wall, where many people believe that one immediately has the "ear of God." People who cannot pray at the wall can send in prayers or ask for the Kaddish, a specific Jewish prayer, to be said for departed loved ones. Prayers that are sent in are placed into the cracks of the walls and are called kvitelach. There might be a small charge for this service, depending on the person or organization that is providing the service. When the small pieces of papers become too numerous — more than 1 million are placed each year — they are removed and buried

You'll have to excuse me for crying there.

Perhaps there are some that don’t understand that this is not about the Western Wall, this is about inside the walls, the actual site of the Temple proper.

The only way the Israeli government will be forced to remove control of the Mount from the Nazi Muslims is for 50,000 JEws to storm the Mount, with weapons, food and supplies, and refuse to leave until it happens.

The traitor Moshe Dayan turned it over to the Satan worshippers. He should have been shot on sight for it.

So Jews do everything they can to avoid offending subhuman savages, and what do they get in return?

They’re worried about upsetting muslims. And we all know how tolerant they are.
