Next the Israel Police will just ban Israelis from the Middle East
The police have now extended their ban, based on security concerns rather than pure legality, against Jewish prayer to not just be when on Har Habayit, but also now when anywhere near Har Habayit, including the Moslem Quarter of the Old City.
Rest assured, the police say it is fine to daven and do Jewish things at the Kotel and in the Jewish Quarter.
Thank you for that, by the way. Thank you for confirming that we are still allowed to pray at the Kotel and in the Jewish Quarter.
The police claimed in court that Jewish prayer in the Moslem Quarter is a provocation. And the courts accepted the claim.

At this point they might as well just say that Jewish prayer anywhere in Israel, Jewish presence even, is a provocation as the Arabs want us out and our prayer and mere existence in the area provokes them to violence, and therefore we should be banned from acting Jewish anywhere in the Middle East. After all, it is a provocation.
I don't wan to sound more upset that we cannot daven in the Moslem Quarter than that they already have not allowed us to daven or even say a bracha on a bottle of water, as davening in the Moslem Quarter is far less important to me and seemingly less significant. However, it seems to exacerbate the ridiculousness of the situation.

In Israel, Jews have the least religious freedom. Tragically ironic.
ReplyDeleteThese actions are so ugly. It makes clear to the world that it is no longer a "Jewish" state nor do we have any real connection to the Land. This is called 'surrender'. Sick, sick and getting sicker, Woe!
ReplyDeleteSo what do the Arabs learn from all this? If they scream, yell, act offended, curse and attack people, throw rocks and riot, the police and the courts will give them more than they every would even dream of demanding in an effort to buy "quiet". So they'll pocket this and move to the next offensive position. Learned long ago when I was stuck on a bus that stalled in Shuafat (back before the bypass) when they went from peacefully minding their business to armfuls of rocks and attempts to get in through the open windows. Don't show weakness and don't give opportunities, particularly for rights in your own place.
