Arab Humiliation and the Temple Mount
(Asia Times-Hong Kong) David P. Goldman - In 2015, the last time Palestinians rioted over the Temple Mount, a handful of pious Jews had committed the offense of attempted prayer. This week's protest over the presence of metal detectors takes the dispute to a new level of unreality. The outrage over security measures that are standard in public places in many parts of the world seems contrary to common sense. Much of the Arab world clings to the belief that if the Jews do not control the Temple Mount, they really have not returned to Zion, and their presence in Jerusalem and Israel must be a temporary aberration. It is a dangerous fantasy, and nothing good can come of nurturing it.
