Germany Bans Mila, Israeli Police Ban Transporting Animals For Korbanot
In a twisted turn of events, the police responded to a petition by Yehuda Glick, leading to an indictment against Glick.
Yehuda Glick and his goat were arrested a while back for trying to bring a goat onto Har HaBayit. Not really thinking he would be allowed to sacrifice the goat as a korban pesach, Glick was really just raising awareness to the issue of the need, or desire, to bring the korban and fulfill the mitzva. The police arrested Glick shortly after, with the goat.
Glick eventually sued the police for harassment with no legal cause. The court is meant to rule on that in the near future.
The police finally responded, after long delays. The police claim that they had legal cause to continue paying attention to Glick, as he had transgressed the law prohibiting the illegal transport of animals - to move the goat he technically needed a license, which he did not have.
Glick's supporters and organizations are now calling on the police to arrest all people who have transported dogs, cats, birds, fish and other pets, and the fact that they do not shows the police are simply harassing Glick because of his transport of the goat for fulfilling a mitzva. They called upon the MKs to amend the law so that olei regel bringing their korbanot will not be arrested, essentially turning Israel into a Germany that bans religious circumcision.

Of course it's absurd that Jews don't have access to Har Habayit for religious purposes. But there's hardly a comparison between Germany prohibiting circumcision based on a trumped up "human rights" issue, and Israel prohibiting bringing sacrificial animals onto one the most volatile religious-political spots on the planet, based on very real concerns that such an act could spark rioting and other violence.
