Fake Hysteria over Temple Mount Prayer
(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - Critics are warning that the appointment of MK Itamar Ben-Gvir as Israel's public security minister will lead to a decision to permit Jewish prayers on the Temple Mount. Let everybody calm down and take a deep breath. This is the year 2022. Jews have been praying on the Mount for five years now; quiet prayers, without provoking anyone, in the southeastern corner of the Mount, with police authorization, and under police supervision. This was implemented gradually, after endless material changes on the holy Mount initiated and executed by the Muslims in violation of the status quo. Changes by the Muslims on the Mount since 1967 include turning the Dome of the Rock into a mosque, which originally was not a mosque. They paved large sections of the Temple Mount compound, which is in practice used as a mass prayer hall for tens of thousands. They established three additional mosques on the Mount: the Al-Marwani Mosque located in Solomon's Stables; the ancient Al-Aqsa Mosque underneath the overground Al-Aqsa Mosque; and the Gate of Mercy compound. Eventually, the Jews decided in a bottom-up initiative that if everything is allowed to change on the Mount, then it is time for a change to counter the blatant discrimination against them with regard to prayers at the holiest site in the Jewish religion.
