VIDEO: MK Yehuda Glick On Discrimination Against Jews On Har Habayis


1[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]

MK (Likud) Yehuda Glick used his ten-minute podium time in Knesset to address discrimination against Jews on Har Habayis. As is known, Glick is a longtime Har Habayis activist.

Glick explained we have now entered the Three Weeks, which is culminated with Tisha B’Av and the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash. He explains when the tribes were exiled from Israel, 90% of the nation, over fifty times that of the families expelled from Gush Katif, fast days were not declared. However, for the destruction of the First and Second Beis Hamikdash there are four fast days, citing this was the worst event in our history since it is not “just another event, but ‘the’ event”.

Synopsis of video address:

Glick continues to quote pesukim and sources to highlight the role of Har Habayis and the Beis Hamikdash to the Jewish People. Today, he laments, there is discrimination against Jews by Jews. “There is a daily report from the police, how many visitors, and how many religious visitors…We cannot bring a siddur or tallis for we may err and make a bracha…you are escorted by police.

“An 80-year-old Holocaust survivor cried as she was compelled to wait for religious Jews may only go in groups, heavily escorted by police as was the case when they came after the shiva of Hallel Ariel HY”D. It does not matter how many Muslims or others visitors, but every religious-appearing Jew is counted and the number is limited”.

The Waqf should not be on the area of Har Habayis but inside mosques. They should not have authority outside the mosques. However, my complaint is not against them but against our own, the Jews who permit this policy. Today Jews were attacked by Waqf officials… http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/446011/photos-two-waqf-guards-arrested-on-har-habayis-for-assaulting-jewish-visitors.html they attack us verbally and dare to use physical force too”.

“The Waqf wear a uniform and announce ‘we are Jordanian police’ and exert their authority. they say ‘we are in charge, not you’. I call on the government of Israel to bring an end to this, the need for an ‘escort’ and the discrimination against Jews on Har Habayis”.

“Israeli sovereignty over Har Habayis must be clear to all and the Waqf must know its place and its role… We must look after the place of our Mikdosh and maintain its holiness”.

Gedolei Yisrael over the generations and the Chief Rabbinate of Israel prohibit visiting Har Habayis.

  1. This guy not only encourages yidden to engage in an action that makes one chayav kores and is contrary to the views of gadoyley yisroel, he is inciting actions that would trigger violence and bloodshed by Palestinians.

  2. We want the Beis Hamikdosh back.

    We want it under our control.

    We don’t want these yishmaelim running around on it desecrating the place.
    It is a Chilul Hashem that their mosque stands on the place where Hashem’s temple is supposed to be!
    If we would look at the Halachos of Korban Pesach we would see that if we only had access to the makom hamikdosh we could bring the korban, even if the whole mikdosh isn’t built (many hold this way)!

    Yes, some yidden go up there now. Though some poskim permitted it, most do not. but nevertheless, even if most of us hold it’s assur, WE ALL WANT the Makom Hamikdash back. We want it out of their hands. Hashem’s temple is being overrun by animals!
    As it says in Tehilim “Shualim Halchu Bo” “Foxes will walk across it” (Yishmael is gematria Shualim, Im Hakolel)

    Forget the fact that this Jew holds it is muttar to go up (and yes there are poskim who hold that way and also there are rishonim that hold that there is no Kedusha at all in that place after the churban, though we don’t hold like them), this Jew wants the Makom Hamikdosh back in yidishe hands! We all want that!
