World-Wide Condemnation Including UNSC of Israel-Crime of the Century

 Nadene Goldfoot                                               

Netanyahu is at the helm, and the United Nations has discovered the greatest crime of Israel to date:  

Itamar Ben Gvir, a newby in the  Israeli Knesset, who visited the Temple Mount in a 13 minute in and out and possibly prayed there! G-d forbid!  Terrible!  A Jew praying on the Temple Mount!  Why, the world knows that is a place only for Moslems and Christians.   It happened on 3 January 2023, that he visited the Temple Mount where the Aqsa Mosque is located, spurring an international wave of criticism that labelled his visit provocative because he is known as a religious man with 5 children,  and is not bashful about it.  He demands his rights, and he happens to reside in Judea-Samaria.  G-d forbid!!!

Even the United States joined in the condemnation!  That ought to tell you something!

Everyone, and I mean everyone, seems to forget that the Temple Mount lies in Jerusalem which is the capital of Israel, and is unified; one city like it always had been.  Moshe Dayan had been gracious enough to allow Jordan to be in charge of religion since there are 3 mosques there; and our 2nd Temple of Solomon is pretty well presumed to be under one of them, as their  practice has been to do things like that.  

Jews have been asking why they can't pray there.  They're not a people who throw stones at others, which happens to them all the time.  They're not there to harm anyone; only want to say a little prayer.  After all, look where they stand up there, where our 2nd Temple was built.  

The Romans had destroyed the Temple and the city of Jerusalem in 70 CE, when Romans had  been occupiers.  Then the Romans built a Roman-type Temple for Zeus over it, and then along came Mohammad who had a Mosque built over that.  There are lots of layers here.                               

King David purchased the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.  Jebusites had settled in the land just before the Ivrim (Israelites); a Canaanite people living in the hill region around Jerusalem.  Araunah was evidently the last Jebusite king.   They became tributary under Solomon and were assimilated.  Gosh, we may be carrying a few of their genes.  

 Originally,  Araunah (Hebrew: אֲרַוְנָה‎ 'Ǎrawnā) was a Jebusite mentioned in the Second Book of Samuel, who owned the threshing floor on Mount Moriah which David purchased and used as the site for assembling an altar to God.  The First Book of Chronicles, a later text, renders his name as Ornan (Hebrew: אָרְנָן‎ ’Ārənān).

Chronicles states that David paid 600 gold shekels for the entire site where the threshing floor was located (1 Chronicles 21:25). Biblical scholar H. P. Mathys notes that the purchase of threshing floor "is modelled on Abraham's purchase of Machpelah's cave (Genesis 23), even repeating specific details, the most important of which is David's insistence on paying the full price (an expression used only in Genesis 23:9 and in 1 Chronicles 21:22,24). The 600 gold (sic) shekels David pays is more than Abraham's 400 silver shekels [paid] for Machpelah's cave."  This is amazing.  over 3,000 years ago, the record shows that

 the Ivrim (Hebrews-Jews) paid for the land, so that their des-

centants would not be accused of stealing it.  It's just like what

has happened in the 1900s with Jews buying land at out-

rageous prices, actually paying a 2nd time for their own land.  

It's a documented fact, in the Bible, if anyone wants to see it.  

Here we have Jerusalem with its Temple Mount that is a highly-

regarded crime if a Jew tries to pray there. Yet Jews defend

the land along with the rest of Israel from terrorists and countries

that have been involved in wars against the Israelis.  Not only

defending them but supplying and allowing Jordan to supervise

their holy sites! 

Jews refer to the site as the Temple Mount (or Har Habayit, “Mount of the House,” or Beit Hamikdash, “Holy House,” referring to the ancient Temple). Muslims call it Haram al-Sharif, which is Arabic for “the Noble Sanctuary.” 

"These terms refer to the entire, 35-acre compound (including the Western Wall) which is surrounded by stone walls.  The Western Wall, once called the Wailing Wall, is the only place really allowing Jews to pray by it.  We place a note into the cracks of the wall with our prayer.   Jewish tourists come to Israel and they want to see the Temple Mount where our 2nd Temple resides, though underground, out of sight, we figure.  

For Jews, the Temple Mount is the holiest place, as the site of the two holy Temples that were destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E. and by the Romans in 70 C.E. It is also the anticipated site of the third Temple in the Messianic era.

Jewish tradition holds that the very world originated here, with a “Foundation Rock” located beneath the Temple (hence the “Dome of the Rock” which is believed to have been built on top of the Foundation Rock).

The Western Wall is often mistaken as the holiest site in Judaism, but it is merely a remnant of the outer walls of the Second Temple — a reminder of the great edifice that once stood and the closest Jews were able to come to the Temple Mount for centuries."

Can you  believe this?  With all the bad things happening in the world, the United Nations leaders of the Security Council are talking about one Jew who spent 13 minutes on the Temple Mount.  Heck, I bet he didn't pray at all there just because he is an orthodox Jew.  They are against praying there because they might be standing in the area of the Holy of Holies, a place only for the High Priest, like Aaron was.  You can bet that he's prayed some good prayers at home, though, and one could have been that the UN get a little smarter about Jews.
