Three right wing activists were arrested this evening after accosting police officers and attempting to force their way on to the Temple Mount.

The three were among tens of activists who confronted police near the Western Wall, when MK Michael Kleiner (Herut) approached as far as the Mughrabi Gate to the Temple Mount, in his effort to restore the right of Jews to visit and pray on Judaism's holiest site.

"As the navel is set in the centre of the human body,
so is the land of Israel the navel of the world...
situated in the centre of the world,
and Jerusalem in the centre of the land of Israel,
and the sanctuary in the centre of Jerusalem,
and the holy place in the centre of the sanctuary,
and the ark in the centre of the holy place,
and the foundation stone before the holy place,
because from it the world was founded."
Midrash Tanchuma, Qedoshim.

Not exactly a crowd. Do you suppose the birth of the red heffer has enboldened them?

I think we move on very dangerous ground. If one believes the book of Revelation is prophecy..that Mount will be gone ...and in its place a New Temple

Those "EVIL" right-wing activists!!! First blow up a building in Oklahoma City, try to kick out of office the most beloved human being that has ever evolved--and now those Nazis are trying to force religion down upon poor, little Islamic throats!

Somebody needs to take care of those extremists. [</sarcasm]
