“ Who needs this? Just build and do what is realistic. But why such action which I would rather contribute to the schvartz'a from Harlem? ”

“ Scarily, not so extreme anymore. I stayed at the Ramada Renaissance in Yerushalayim recently. There was a cheesy oil painting on my wall with the standard Jewish quarter view of the Kotel -- but with the Dome of the Rock completely painted out, as if it didn't exist. I complained to the management -- pointing out I didn't appreciate finding the repugnant techniques used by the Soviet politburo to eradicate any memory of those who dared challenge the regime, alive and well in democratic and free EY. ”

“ rhese dangerous extremists place all of us in danger and cause the wrath of the muslims to be excabarated. because of them any jewish construction, such as in ramat shlomo, is viewed as provacative (after all the jews want to destroy the dome of the rock and rebuild the temple). What a terribler chilul Hashem! lock these bums up now!!! ”

“ It's all so very nice. But would you feel comfortable if your kid was riding in that bus? How about if it was someone else's kid, but not yours? How soon do we forget that a few short years ago Arabs were blowing up buses only for the reason that there were Jews riding on those buses. Now we'll give them an ever better incentive to blow up buses. Don't invite strangers to your seders, and don't flash your dreams of redemption to them also. Bad idea!. ”

“ I don't get it. The Beit HaMikdash is to be rebuilt AFTER Mashiach comes. So has he come already? I haven't heard any heavenly shofar, and my neighbors and I are all still sitting here in Chutz - no divine transport to take us back home.

I do remember, though, that according to Chazal the Yidden in golus had to agree not to provoke the Goyim unnecessarily. Doesn't this seem to be a little, shall we say, provocative?

Maybe these nice people should be spending their money on feeding hungry children on Pesach, not possibly trying to start another round of terrorist attacks to get them blown up. ”

“ Yes, the BHMK will be built when Moshiach comes, bimhero veyomeinu. That's what the ads say. So what's your problem with them?

And no, you misremember. Chazal never said any such thing. We never agreed not to "provoke" them, and we certainly never agreed to hide our intention of returning to our Land. Never. If that "provokes" them, then tough luck.

Of course if we get a chance to build it and Moshiach is for some reason not here yet, we'll have to try to do as much of it as we can without him. That's the halacha. But the way things are going it will take Moshiach to make it possible. ”

“ I trust you will not be around to deal with the consequences of your ignorant rants about rebuilding BHM on har habayis and dislocating the mosque that sits there today. With modern land use planning and development concepts, there is enough room to accomdoate both structures. ”

“ After a whole day of cleaning the closets and schlepping the peseachdike dishes and pot from the basement it was funny to sign on to VIN and read these postings from many ehrlic yidden bravely saying "its time to kick butt and show the arabs whose boss". In reality its really irresponsible of Egged to run such stupid ads which may provoke violence but none of these "armchair warriors" will ever deal with the consequences of their stupid rhetoric. We are not zoche to see binyan bayis shilishi in our time and certainly not at the expense of destroying a structure which has the same significance to Muslims as the beis hamikdash has to yidden. ”

“ Chas vesholom. If that's what you believe you are a kofer, and none of your mitzvos are worth anything. Go eat a ham sandwich tomorrow night, while kissing a cross and a priest. ”
