Israel – Haggadot for Pesach distributed Thursday in kindergartens throughout religiously mixed Jaffa bore a photo of the Temple Mount on the cover, but the al-Aqsa Mosque, which is also located in the east Jerusalem compound, was conspicuously omitted.

An image of a model of the “third temple” was superimposed on the photo in place of the mosque.
It is unclear who distributed the haggadot.
“We’ve seen red lines being crossed in the past, but this is a crossing of all boundaries,” said Kamel Agbaria, chairman of the Ajami neighborhood council.
“People must understand that they live in a mixed city and therefore must be sensitive to the population’s feelings. This Haggadah is a sheer provocation by settlers who came to live in Jaffa. They are looking to provoke the Arab public so that it will respond with rage. I hope someone will stop those who are inciting in time, so that the already tense situation won’t boil over,” he said.
The Tel Aviv Municipality responded by saying that the haggadot were distributed without its knowledge.
Wow. This is unbelievable. Perhaps we should actuallt throw the tiflah down. Since they are getting angry over pictures.
This sounds like a joke, but sadly, it’ not. Now we can’t even express our dreams for Moshiach and the rebuilding of the Bet Hamikdash. The Arabs are “insulted”. Well I’m insulted that their lives revolve around killing Jewss
Once they’re “more sensitive” to what they publish in THEIR schoolchildren’s textbooks, then maybe we’ll care what they think of this hagaddah… no, we still won’t.
I have a large copy of the photo on my office wall.
I have no sympathies for the hypocritical Arabs.
As soon as they remove their provocative pictures and text from their children’s schoolbooks, we can talk about the Hagaddah.
That is not okay, but the textbooks used by the Palestinians with open incitement to violence and murder is? This olam hafuch will somehow be supported by the most undeserving administration. Oh, I almost forgot. This will be used as grounds to legitimize another intifada. And our haters in Washington will shrug their shoulders and support the enemies of Israel on this. Stay tuned for the Sunday morning interviews with the Obama team clowns for their one sided condemnations.
to freekin bad
Since Israel does not exist on Arab maps – how can they be insulted by a picture of a location in a fictional country?
I had no idea the moslems were so clever. Let them use their new acquired “brainpower” to do something usefull. Which self-hating lib Jew pointed this out to them, …just curious.
It’s established historical fact that A) there was a Jewish Temple where the mosque now stands and B) Jews have been praying for the rebuilding of the Temple since before Islam existed.
thats gonna happen “machmud” if u like it or not
how many times do you leave the country and you look for the telephone code to call israel and there is no code listed in the telephone book? now you tell me who is printing maps without israel on the map? sorry arabs you cannot be one sided!
Ask any Greek Orthodox Christian what happened to their holiest place, the Hagia Sophis, in 1453. Ask any Jordanian (read Palestinian) what they did to our holy places in 1948.
Ask any believing Jew, what the Temple Mount will look like, Bimhaira B’yamainu, and he will agree with the cover of that Haggada. If they will want to pray there, we will have, as we did at the time of the Second Temple, a courtyard for Gentiles. Alas poor Omar! Perhaps the molten gold from your dome will go to make rings for kallahs in the rebuilt city of Jerusalem!
How can we lack sensitivity for a site that has absolutely no mention in any of their literature? They know as well as we do what is supposed to be on that site so they should wake up and smell the roses!
Maybe if we say we’re “insulted” by their rockets and other murders of our people there will be some ears that will listen and care. We use pictures, they use weapons.
oohh!!! they insulted, TOOOOOOOOO BAAAAAAAD
Where can I purchase such a haggadah?
Humiliated, angered, insulted: Get real Arabs. The perpetual lies and inaccuracies that you keep repeating to the world WILL BE FOUND OUT for what they are. Shall we change our tefillah, stop saying birchas hamazon and no more ‘L’shana haba b’yershalayim (east and west) since the ARABS are humiliated, angered and insulted.
This weekends Haaretz editorial is actually calling for censorship of these radical publications in their opinion it is these types of materials that has caused arab anti semitism over the past 100 years. If only Jews would know their place and not make waves we would be able to live in peace with our neighbors
They are pushing the UN and the EU to sanction the publishers
Kol Hakovod to the publisher of the Hagadah!!!!
this is yet another sign of the coming of moshiach.
the arabs are getting completely paranoid
first the hurva shul now this.
I cannot believe what I’m hearing, red lines are being crossed! We should go on the offensive not be on the defensive, it was our Beis Hamikdosh that was once there, and we shall not let them rewrite history. The problem is that these Jews don’t believe that there was a Beis Hamikdosh in the first place, and that is the crux of the problem.
Leaving the mosque there until Moshiach comes is one thing, but relinquishing our intellectual right to it, is sheer suicide. It’s not Israel that is being attacked here; it is Judaism that is being attacked. Where are my Neturei Karta brothers? Where are you defenders of the Torah? You taught them Sholosh Shvuos (which even the Satmar Rebbe ZT”L never asked you to), now go teach them a Posuk Chumish. Where are you hiding? Where?
How spineless we as a people are. Do you hear? The Tel Aviv Municipality agrees with the Arabs that it’s theirs and it never was Jewish. They have abdicated all responsibility. If you agree with the Arabs, then kindly give up YOUR house (which you stole!) to them and move to Madagascar. If not you’re a hypocrite.
I love it, can I get 1 in N.Y. Israel was concored just like america the israelies can do what ever they want just like America!!

This is nothing new I had a poster like this in my Sukka. I bought it in a store in Geula when I was there for Rosh Hashana. But again the arabs mentor said say a lie a few times and people will think its the truth.
If the arabs dont like it, they should all move to Europe where they belong…..
Are they insulted when we pray? Boneh Yerushalayim. We should tell the Arabs that there’s a Jewish holy place in Moscow and let them all run there to claim it as there own.
Personally, I’m not too concerned about what we do that insults Arabs, because EVERYTHING we do insults, bothers and angers them. Mundale things like eating, drinking, walking. Just the fact that Jews exist insults and angers Arabs. So who cares? Besides, I’m not too sure that they care much about what they do that insults Jews.
