Jerusalem – Arab Media Reports: Jews Planing to Build Third Beis HaMikdash

    27

    Jerusalem – A conference of ultra-orthodox Hasidic Jews in West Jerusalem has called for the destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the building of the “third temple” on its ruins. In response, the Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage warned of an escalation of the attempts by the Israeli occupation authorities and “its arms” – conferences such as this – to promote construction of the “third temple” at the expense of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.

    In a press release, the Foundation said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is behind these calls. The Jewish groups pushing for the temple have urged Netanyahu to fulfil his promise that in the event of his re-election, he would approve and arrange for Jewish prayers to be held in Al-Aqsa.

    Ultra-orthodox Hasidim have become more active in recent weeks, targeting Al-Aqsa Mosque, desecrating it and working towards its “Judaization”. Reports and pictures from the conference held on 30th December have been published on a number of right-wing and ultra-orthodox websites. The conference, it is claimed, was held especially to address the Temple issue. Its programme included demonstrations of the rituals to be observed in a new temple; the organisers presented the conference as if such rituals would be taking place in situ sooner rather than later. Right-wing Israeli groups have demanded that the Israeli Prime Minister makes the necessary arrangements with the police so that Jews can pray inside Al-Aqsa. Letters dating from 1995 and 2005 have been produced as evidence of Netanyahu’s promise to facilitate such prayers if he became Prime Minister for a second term; he was re-elected in 2009.

    Successive Israeli governments have played down claims that Jews are planning to demolish Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock and replace the historic Islamic sites with a Jewish temple, despite the overwhelming evidence that many organisations within Israel and in the Jewish diaspora have that as their prime aim. Some ultra-orthodox Jews say that it is forbidden for Jews to pray anywhere with Al-Aqsa Sanctuary as they have no idea where the “Holy of Holies” lies; historically, only the High Priest of the temple was allowed to enter that inner sanctum.

    So they do agree that we had 2 temples there before, because they keep saying that jews never had anything there.

    The Beis HaMikdash will not be built through bloodshed or through violence. Some day when we learn how to act and have a greater understanding of the nature of the Deity, of mankind and our place within his creation, then we will be begged by the Palestinians to build it!

    LOL! There was a well advertised mulimedia presentation in Binyanei HaUma to clarify to Daf Yomi learners what the Beis Hamikdash looked like – in order to better understand Zevachim which we are now learning.

    Great. So the Haredi rabbis have decided that it would be a good idea to provoke a big war to be fought exclusively by others. If Moshiach comes, we can build a new temple in peace. If he doesn’t, we should keep these extremist idiots and their loony-tune followers under wraps.

    How is it that Arabs seem more informed than us about a conference that we didn’t even hear about? Is it possibly another Arab’s propaganda tactic to anger and arouse bad feelings toward Jews? BTW, if that conference really took place, those who held it are acting against halacha.
