| The State of Israel is a secular state whose rootsare in the Fernch revolution ans the nationalist uprisings in Europe in the 19th Century. The Six Day War was a defensive that has over the the last 40 years become divested of its quasi-Messianic overtones. Going up to the Temple Mount when we are all ritually unclean and on a mass scale where not everyone knows about proper `Tahara` or where the holy parts of Har Hayit are,(Al-Aqsa is not in the Holy parts of Har HaBayit) is a grievous sin let alone politically provocative. Until the Mashiach comes, we pray by the Kotel. |
