Replace Temple Mount mosques with Jewish Temple, rightist campaign says

Our Land of Israel strongman Baruch Marzel says that the mosques on the temple mount are temporary.

By Haaretz Service and Chaim Levinson Tags: Jerusalem Israel news

A right-wing group announced a campaign Sunday ahead of the Passover festival calling for the construction of the Jewish Temple on the location of the existing temple mount mosques.

The extreme right-wing Our Land of Israel party (Eretz Israel Shelanu) said it intended to mount an extensive bus campaign, with the slogan "May the Temple be built in our lifetime," along with an artist's rendition of the completed temple.

One of the party's leaders, Baruch Marzel, said that it was "a legitimate campaign meant to convey a message to the Arabs."

"The mosque on the temple mount is temporary," Marzel continued, referring to the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosques, "and it's only a matter of time before the Temple which the entire people of Israel are waiting for will be built."

The Our Land of Israel party was formed in late 2008 by Marzel and Rabbi Shalom Wolpe as a reaction to what they saw as a weakening of more traditional right-wing parties such as Habayit Hayehudi.

"Habayit Hayehudi, which fancies itself as representing the right, has turned into a left-wing party that placed at its head an anonymous professor who is not ready to commit himself to the minimum - maintaining the settlements and Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria," Wolpe said at the time.

Wolpe and Marzel claimed at the party's formation that the Likud party had turned into a party that is persecuting all Jews loyal to the Land of Israel. They cited the efforts by the Likud party leadership to marginalize Moshe Feiglin as an example.

Wolpe added that the Israeli government has turned into "an enemy of the people.

"This government collaborates with the enemy and helps it during a time of war," he said. "Everyone should check the Even Shushan dictionary, in an effort to understand the definition of such behavior," Wolpe said.

    You can check this either in a bible or with google. The temple Mount is the very site where Abraham nearly sacrificed Issac. It has played an important part throughout the entire history of Israel. I believe Jacob who God renamed Israel made an offering to God there too.

    Is it necessary to rebuild the Temple on the same site? You might find a better site for a rebuilt temple.... And if you rebuild it somewhere else then you get to keep the Wailing Wall etc as a bonus.

    Solomon solved the problem of the child with two mothers with a simple offer. Perhaps the world's nuclear powers should offer the same sort of solution to the problem of Jerusalem. Multiple nuclear detonations at ground level would solve the problem of geography. A dispersion of chemical and biological weapons could solve the problem of reoccupation. As Israel is not willing to share Jerusalem with the world, then why not solve the problem by eliminating Jerusalem? If it cannot be shared, then why should it not be rendered incapable of being shared? Nuke it until it glows. Q.E.D.

Non-violently.

    Posters reacting as if these jews are crazy is typical of double standards evidencing anti semitism. Why shouldn't these Jews dream of restoring that which was stolen and destroyed by Christians and Muslims? Why should they be considered lunatics, after all wasn't it insane to think that the Jews, raped and slaughtered by Christians and Muslims, would indeed return to the land of Israel? The jews dreams are lunatic; it is shameful that Haaretz is such a magnet for anti semites.

    As monotheists, the Moslems have this thing about Allah and his Prophet and them's that believe in him. If you don't, you are a Dhimmi, not worthy of Allah, or his Prophet. In India, the Moghuls, Persian Moslems swept through and turned Hindu temples into Mosques cuz' the local religion was deemed idolatrous. One of those mosques, in Ayodhya was turned back into a Hindu temple a few years back. Blood ran in the streets, but the Moslems are a minority in the Republic of India and the "former Hindu temple" was a Hindu temple again. Here, in the Land of Israel the situation is different, surrounded by a countries with Moslem majorities, so . . . the issue lies between Jews and Moslems. What can I tell ya'

    The Dome of the Rock is indeed beautiful. It was designed, engineered, and built under contract by Byzantines, because Arab Muslims did not have that kind of skill. Most Muslims would be mortified if they know the Christian origins of the Dome. This is not to say that there are not inspiring Islamic creations; the Taj Mahal was the work of a Persian. But Arab Muslims are sorely in need of better architecture in their Holiest City: Look at the ka bah in Mecca. Yikes! It would be really cool if the Dome was carefully packed and reconstructed in Mecca to replace it.

Jews were thrown out of GAZA in 2005 for peace & gave homes, jobs, everything to the Arabs- who destroyed it & use it to shoot ROCKETS into Jewish cities. They behaved this way long before Israel was a State.

    They should tear down Al Aqsa and rebuild the temple. The history of Islam is the history of colonial genocidal destruction of other cultures and their temples. Look at India, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_violence_in_India And what about the recent destruction of the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhas_of_Bamyan Islam has nothing but a history of contempt for other cultures and never misses an opportunity to destroy the places of worship of other cultures and build their own on top of the ruins. When have the Jews ever done such a thing? When have the Buddhists or Hindus ever done such a thing? They deserve their holy sites back, restored to them.

No government of Israel would ever behave the way that these few extremists espouse. This article is just ridiculous inflammatory b.s. to feed the fire of rabid antisemitism.

    How bizarre people do not know history. Temple mount is the site were the jewish temple was built for hundreds of years before the romans transformed it in a church . The church was still there when the arabs conquered Jerusalem and built in top the mosque. So the arabs destroyed prior religion sites and claimed the temple mount. It is the right to return to initial temple of jews and peace will be. How the antisemitism full of lies changed the history is unbelievable. Instead of making uninformed statements you guys better go and study who destroyed religious places for the past 1400 years before talking.

    • 28.03.10
    • 18:12

    Slipshod scholarship has mislocated the Jewish Temples, whose true location was to the South of the so-called ?Temple Mount? (TM): (1) 6th century Byzantine Historian Procopius stated that Western "Wailing Wall" was not Herodian, but built by Justinian to broaden the foundation for his massive Hagia Sophia, soon destroyed by the Persians, and rebuilt to 1/2 scale by the first Caliph of Jerusalem as a mosque to entice Jerusalem`s Christians. (2) Agrippa`s testimony of a clear view of the Temple from the Hashmonean Palace locates a spot just to the South of the TM, which would have been too high to have permitted such a view. (3) Historical documentation from the first 6 centuries demonstrates that the Temple location was well known, and conforms to the location in (2), near the Gihon Spring temple water source. The rubble excavated from the basements of the Waqf on the TM proves the TM was built well after the 2nd century CE. http://www.biblemysteries.com/lectures/builtwailingwall.htm http://www.templemount.org/sagiv2/index.html http://www.templemount.org/sagiv2/drawing20.jpg The Temple Mount location was well known up to the 7th century, and conforms to Herod Agrippa`s sighting of it, south of the current "Temple Mount", reared by Emperor Justinian as a platform for his Hagia Sophia in Jerusalem. However, this site neglects the other evidence in my post, which completes the true historical picture. http://www.askelm.com/temple/t991001.htm (4) The Waqf basement excavations on the Temple Mount PROVE that both First and Second Temple debris were swept up from the broad environs of the Temple Mount area and used as FILL by the Temple Mount builder, who could ONLY HAVE BEEN JUSTINIAN, AND NOT HEROD, BECAUSE HEROD WOULD NOT HAVE PUT SECOND TEMPLE DEBRIS DEEP WITHIN HIS ALLEGED TEMPLE MOUNT. Also, these debris have contained Roman coins and artifacts clearly decades after the completion of the Second Temple. The fill of the Temple Mount clearly dates it after Herod the Great. (5) The Temple Mount was the location of the Roman fortress of Antonia, and the seat of the Roman government of Jerusalem and Judea. The Hashmonean architectural features which may be authentic would have served the prominent and politically central Antonia fortress, and not the Temple Mount. Robinson's and Warren's Arches in the Temple Mount could just as well have been Justinian's handiwork.

    And that what you get: more religious greed, it will apparently not stop before someone (the enemy) is beating the light out of their eyes. Not because the enemy wants that, because it is requested from them. Stay in Israel, stop zionism in the West Bank and start live together.

    how right are they that that statment should not be shout out but work on on the diplomatic side. Surelly every one believe in the resurection of our temple. Others fear it! But are the mosque going to be removed? Most probably not unless the Muslim world acknowledge God's promise to Avraham that Israel belong to the Jews and only the jews! And for that the Mesiah must come and convince them

    Fundamentalists on both sides are the cause of israel's problems. I want Jerusalem as Israel's capital but that means all religions are welcome and to talk of destruction is no better than Hamas.

    is going to just disappear without a fight. But anyone who has a lick of sense knows if that were ever to happen it would be a lot more than just Israel that would go.

    It was just a matter of time before more zealots emboldened by Netanyahu's fear of Leiberman, the Settlers (and anyone on the extreme right) came out to play. These people smell his fear and know that he will neither denounce them nor take any action. Could they also be hoping to anger the Palestinian Muslims enough to stir Hamas into action and further delay any peace negotiations.

    The war with the Arabs is coming no matter how you appease them. Israel's neighbors are bent on her destruction - and their religion built a shrine on your holiest site to test you. Will you obey God and keep his temple holy, or will you please man and ultimately be destroyed.

    This organisation says that "all Israel" is waiting for the Temple to be rebuilt. Well, I am a Jew - and I am not. So next time they make this statement can they say "all Israel - minus one"!

    Why is it that not a single Leftist has a problem with that? They do have a problem when Jews wish to reclaim their site. Sick. Sick.

    Religion is what has kept the Jewish people together through 1700 years of exile, but it's a two-edged sword. Religion is also what forced the Jews to confront Rome and destroyed Judea in the first place.Israel under Bibi seems to be gradually edging towards a slide down into religious lunacy that could eventually lead to Israel's destruction. In most countries this Our Land of Israel party would be banned for incitement to religious hatred. What else is calling for the destruction of another relligion's major site and the replacement of it with one of your own? I find it hard to believe even Bibi's Israel is far enough gone to let these maniacs run a major bus campaign, but who knows?

    This statement can achieve nothing but to foment unrest. Surely there are criminal charges which can be laid against people who do this?

    They complain about Synagogues being destroyed then ..... advocate the desecration of a religious site
