Woeful Neglect of Temple Mount by Jewish Leaders

Excerpts from

Jerusalem: Demographics and Division

by Ezra HaLevi

"Jerusalem should not be up for negotiation," Chief Sephardi Rabbi Shlomo Amar declared, joining a similar statement a day earlier made by his Ashkenazi counterpart Rabbi Yonah Metzger. "The Temple Mount is the heart and soul of the Land of Israel and there is no Jewish unity without the unity of the Land of Israel."

Jerusalem Without the Holy Temple is Not Jerusalem
Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, the founder of the Temple Institute in Jerusalem spoke about his experience being part of Motta Gur’s Paratrooper unit that liberated the Temple Mount. "Once we liberated the area, I saw the Prime Minister, the president and all sorts of dignitaries entering the Temple Mount. But where did they head? To the Kotel [the Western Wall of the Temple Mount –ed.]. We arrive at the Temple Mount after 2,000 years – and where did we go? And the Torah world was fully complicit in this – it was not just Moshe Dayan and the government. Humiliation. Complete humiliation.

"There is no Jerusalem without the Holy Temple," he proclaimed. "I have been sitting here for two hours and heave heard about housing and demographics and even the Jewish Quarter – but nothing about the Holy Temple, which is inextricably the whole essence of Jerusalem. It is impossible to speak about Jerusalem without mentioning even once the Holy Temple.

"Every generation at least implemented to the best of their ability what they prayed for. Our generation simply runs away from it. We talk about the Temple Mount, but not building the Holy Temple."

(emphasis mine)

**********

Humiliation: secular Jewish leaders stop at a wall rather than continue to go up to the Temple Mount.
Complete humiliation: religious Jewish leaders follow their secular leaders and fail to lead them past the wall to go up to the Temple Mount. Shame. Shame.

When will the political and religious leaders repent of their woeful neglect of the Temple Mount? Is it any wonder Israel is falling to pieces? Will it take German-EU occupation to rub their faces into the dirt to appreciate the Holy Land?

Psalm 102:13-15

13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion;
For the time to favor her,
Yes, the set time, has come.
14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones,
And show favor to her dust.
15 So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD,
And all the kings of the earth Your glory.

I just read an abominable article written by a proud and stubborn woman attempting to justify rebellious women doing what only God has ordained men to do: preach from the pulpit as ordained ministers.

Ron Paul: Don't Subsidize Illegal Aliens!

If We Subsidize Them ...

By Rep. Ron Paul
CNSNews.com Commentary
February 21, 2008

For decades we have welcomed new immigrants to our American "melting pot." We respect those who come here peacefully to pursue their American Dream. But Americans have noticed lately that modern problems associated with illegal immigration are at a crisis point. Taxpayers are now suffering the consequences.

Costs of social services for the estimated 21 million illegal immigrants in this country are approaching $400 billion. We educate 4.2 million children of illegals at a cost of $13.8 billion. There have been almost 2 million anchor babies born in this country since 2002, with labor and delivery costs of between $3 and 6 billion. There are currently 360,000 illegals in our prisons and we have spent $1.4 billion to incarcerate them since 2001.

In Prince William County near Washington, D.C., ICE can't deport criminal illegals fast enough and has actually asked its local jails to slow down on referring them. Jurisdiction over illegal immigration lies at the federal level, yet many municipalities are struggling with the compounding problems of mandated costs and tied hands.

My office has heard from at least one sheriff in my district considering seeking compensation from the Federal government for the cost of so many illegal immigrant inmates that wouldn't be here if the Federal government was doing its job and protecting our borders. The problems are widespread.

One thing is certain: If we subsidize them, they will come. We have rolled out the social services red carpet, so it is no surprise that many from other countries are eager to come take advantage of our very generous system.

We must return to the American principle of personal responsibility. We must expect those who come here to take care of themselves and respect our laws. Not only is this the right thing to do for our overtaxed citizens, but we simply have no choice. We can't afford these policies anymore.

Since we are $60 trillion in debt, there should be no taxpayer-paid benefits for non-citizens. My bill, the Social Security for American Citizens Only Act, stops non-citizens from collecting Social Security Benefits. This bill, by the way, picked up three new cosponsors this week and is gaining momentum.

Also, we should not be awarding automatic citizenship to children born here minutes after their mothers illegally cross the border. It just doesn't make sense. The practice of birthright citizenship is an aberration of the original intent of the 14th amendment, the purpose of which was never to allow lawbreakers to bleed taxpayers of welfare benefits. I have introduced HJ Res 46 to address this loophole.

Other Western countries such as Australia , France , and England have stopped birth-right citizenship. It is only reasonable that we do the same. We must also empower local and state officials to deal with problems the Federal government can't or won't address.

Actions like this are a matter of national security at this point.

Illegal immigration is draining and frustrating the American taxpayer. I will continue to work for a solution that does not reward those who break our laws.

Western (Wailing) Wall for Jews by Turkish Decree

In 1515 C.E. Ottoman Sultan Selim 1 conquered Jerusalem and in 1535 C.E. Selim's son Suleiman 1, the Magnificent, rebuilt the city walls of Jerusalem. He designated at that time the Western "Wailing" Wall as the official place of worship for the Jews at the site of the Holy Temple.

Republican Senator Tells Olmert Not to Give Up Jerusalem

Republican Senator Tells Olmert Not to Give Up Jerusalem
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is getting some free advice from a U.S. conservative senator on issues that go to the heart of the peace process.

"Don't give up Jerusalem," Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) said he told Olmert when he met with him on Monday.
************

Kol hakavod (congratulations) to Senator Brownback for reminding Olmert that Jerusalem is holy and inspiring to many Bible-believing Christians. Although Olmert should already know this, such precious information bears repeating - especially as Olmert appears hard of hearing and heart and dangerously divisive.

If Senator Brownback attempted to pray or read the Bible upon the Temple Mount (where Jesus and the apostles taught and prayed) he would see that Israel doesn't protect the religious rights of Jews or Christians where the biblical temples stood, but shamefully aid and abet Nazi-Muslim occupation of Judaism's holiest site, turn a blind eye to daily religious discrimination against non-Muslims and deport those who expose this deplorable situation.
