Israel/Palestine

I am glad that I was able go. It was a wonderful experience. I would never dream of praying there, or wearing or carrying Judaica there. It is a Muslim holy site, regardless of the presence of the Jewish Temple there 200 years ago. This was a deliberately provocative move by an extremist Israeli minster who is trying to destroy the few vestiges of peace that remain for political and religious reasons. I could continue, but that is enough for now.


"Earlier in the visit, Ben Gvir was seen joining a prayer minyan and leading the “Amida” prayer, marking the first time a government minister has openly prayed at the site, where Jews are forbidden from praying under the longtime status quo agreement between Israel and Jordan."
