(VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE)
As seen in the accompanying video, a Jewish male was escorted off of Har Habayis by police after he pulled out and waved and American flag. Police, as they usually do, escorted the group and seeing the young mans actions, the response was immediate as a Muslim Waqf Authority official looked on. The flag has the words Thank you Trump on it.
Before being ousted from the holy site, the man was speaking about King Cyrus (????), and how he permitted the Jews to return to Israel to build Bayis Sheni. He then compared this to the actions of US President Donald Trump, making reference to the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem this week and how he will help Jews to build the Third Beis Hamikdash.
The young man was arrested and will have to appear for a hearing at which time it will be decided if he is distanced from the site for a period of time.
It should be notedthat Gedolei Yisrael throughout the generations along with the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, have prohibited visiting Har Habayis as there is an Issur Kares.

All of these zealots who wish to get their 15 seconds of fame on har habayis, whether to hide a goat and try to bring a korban pesach or simply wave an American flag, should be thrown into jail with the terrorists, because that’s what they are. Emotions are running high enough without these kinds of childish games which invite bloodshed. They risk the lives of the security forces and others.
Gadolhadora, so a terrorist is one who waves a flag? Thanks for enlightening me.
