“After I woke up and I read the headlines in the press from the days it happened using the word ‘assassination’, I realized that this is… not just a plain terror act – but this was an attempt to assassinate me just because of my legal, legitimate activity for human rights, and my legal, legitimate activity for freedom to pray at the place that is the holiest place in the world,” said Glick in an interview with Israel National News (http://bit.ly/1wikCVG).
Jews are currently banned from worshipping at Temple Mount because of Muslim threats of violence.
Glick was shot four times by an Islamist terrorist while giving a speech at the Ben Heritage Center after speaking about Jewish prayer rights at Temple Mount on Oct.29. He said it happened so fast that “there was not even a moment” to comprehend what was going on.
“I heard clearly that he said: ‘I am shooting you because you are an enemy of Al Aqsa,’ and I understood directly that it was because of my activity on the Temple Mount – but I didn’t have enough time to give too much thought to that,” said Glick.
Glick said he will continue fighting for the right to worship at what is considered the holiest site. “The Temple Mount must be as (in) the words of (the prophet) Isaiah, ‘a house of prayer for all nations’.

crazy idiot ……….he is waiting for 4 more gun shots………..until the coming of mosiach nothing is ours………such people only make life a horror…..dont think u will be able to concur the world,your just doing harm to the jews
Glick is putting in danger himself and Klal Yisroel he is mamesh a Rodef. As a Jew he has no right be an instigator all he is doing is inciting Arabs to hate Jews even more. I wish he takes off his beard and yarmulke so at least he doesn’t appear Jewish.
ווען מען האט געטיילט שכל האט ער גענומען מיט א גאפל
OK, so now he is wrong. Wrong because if he does go up there he is definitely asking for trouble. Pursue your agenda (right or wrong) from safe ground. Yes, we know Arabs don’t need an excuse to attack, but even if you want to be a martyr to the cause, you are endangering the rest of the population. Sounds crazy I know, but then again – the Arabs ARE crazy.
he is also חייב כרת for going onto the Temple mount.
The downside of our uniform way of dress with beards, yarmulkes and our clothing, is that every fool gets associated with the rest of us. There is no mitzvah to do what he is doing and he is causing the murder of Jews.
A rebbi told me that the reason why all these terror attacks on jews in israel and even in Brooklyn is because when a person wants to do something so grave that rabbanim and others say that hidden DONT BELONG ON HAR HABAYIS TILL MOISHIACH. Why do u think that your smarter?
some people dont know when they get a massage, Glick stop now next time you will get killed, kodesh hakdomish is not be trifled with. even the kohain godol knew that, take meds if you have a compulsion
