Israel should say enough is enough, and the rabbis in Israel ought to be leading the Jewish people in protests that their religious rights (as well as those of Christians) are trampled upon the Temple Mount by the Nazi-Muslims and DEMAND Jewish prayer and worship upon the Temple Mount be guaranteed NOW -- just as the 1967 Law for the Protection of the Holy Places requires.
It's past time Israel REMOVE THE THREAT and protect Christian and Jewish pilgrims, securing their freedom of access.
June 27, 1967
1. The Holy Places shall be protected from desecration and any other violation and from anything likely to violate the freedom of access of the members of the different religions to the places sacred to them or their feelings with regard to those places.
2. a. Whosoever desecrates or otherwise violates a Holy Place shall be liable to imprisonment for a term of seven years.
b. Whosoever does anything likely to violate the freedom of access of the members of the different religions to the places sacred to them or their feelings with regard to those places shall be liable to imprisonment for a term of five years.
3. This Law shall add to, and not derogate from, any other law.
4. The Minister of Religious Affairs is charged with the implementation of this Law, and he may, after consultation with, or upon the proposal of, representatives of the religions concerned and with the consent of the Minister of Justice make regulations as to any matter relating to such implementation.
5. This Law shall come into force on the date of its adoption by the Knesset.
