Yehuda Glick Visits Temple Mount for Last Time Prior to Becoming Knesset Member | | | Yehuda Glick on the Temple Mount, escorted by police. |
Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick, who was shot and almost killed in an assassination attempt in October 2014, ascended the Temple Mount today, his last time before before joining the Knesset as a member of Likud.
Prime Minister Netanyahu had set a condition that all Members of Knesset are forbidden to visit the Temple Mount to avoid "provocation". (We wonder, does this include Arab and Muslim MKs?)
Disgraceful as this ban is, Yehuda Glick, who is a major advocate for Jewish prayer on the Mount, agreed to the condition before assuming his position of MK.
The short video below shows Yehuda on the Temple Mount. He is walking backwards, respectfully, away from this holy site, surrounded by police. The police, as they do with all Jews on the Mount are controlling his movement and preventing any attempt at prayer
Let us hope and pray that the day will arrive soon when Jews have free and open access to the Temple Mount without threats of expulsion and jail from Israeli authorities.

'Son of Hamas': Islam is the problem
Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of one Hamas founder Hassan Yousef who in the past served as an undercover agent for the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), yesterday told the Jerusalem Post conference in New York that "Islam is the problem" and that the free world must fight it.
Yousef's code name was "The Green Prince", and he risked his life working undercover for the Shin Bet. During that that time he supplied information that prevented dozens of suicide attacks and assassinations of Israelis and exposed numerous Hamas terrorist cells.
He ultimately converted to Christianity and fled to the United States where he was granted political asylum.
Here is his remarkable speech at the conference (approximately 15 minutes long.)

If the problem is Muslim terror, then the solution must be to increase Muslim immigration!
Daniel Greenfield, aka Sultan Knish, writes with a logic that is unassailable, and is, as an added bonus, a joy to read.
Here are a few excerpts from his latest piece posted on his blog, HERE. The United States faces a terror threat because a certain percentage of the Muslim population will kill Americans. Every increase in the Muslim population also increases the number of potential terrorists. Muslim immigration increases the terrorism risk to Americans every single year.
When you're in a hole, stop digging. Muslim populations are a hole. Immigration is the shovel. Dig deep enough and you're six feet under.
Obama insists that we need Muslim immigration so that Muslims will help us fight Muslim terror. But if we didn't have Muslim immigration, we wouldn't need Muslims to help us fight Muslim terrorism.
Muslim immigration isn't a solution. It's a problem posing as a solution. And we are told that we need to make the problem bigger in order to solve it.
He concludes: Either we can hope that Islam will save us from Islam. And that Muslims will protect us from other Muslims. Or we can try to protect ourselves and save our lives and our freedoms from Islam.
