Is War Brewing on the Temple Mount?

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                            

One of the problems that riles me the most is how the Palestinian Authority and Fatah led by Abbas keep their people in the dark as to our Jewish history.  They have been fed such a load of lies that they have no idea as to how long Jews have lived in Eretz Yisrael or how they got there in the first place.  This is keeping the ferment going which can turn into a deadly war if the Arabs are never informed of the truth of the matter.
                                                                           

The fight will start over the Al-Aqsa Mosque.The Arabs think the Jews will destroy this mosque of theirs, knowing that the Jews intend to build a Temple.  What they really don't know is where and when.
                                                                       

Model of 2nd Jewish Temple-It will again be built but locale is not planned

So the war has already begun and this is what has been happening.

Update: IDF soldiers in uniform are now blocked from climbing the steps to the Temple Mount. 3 soldiers were stopped who had a "religious look" about them???  "The site has become a source of increasing controversy in Israel as Jews and other non-Muslim visitors are forbidden from carrying out any form of religious worship. Jews are often verbally and physically harassed by gangs of Muslims whose job is to threaten Jewish visitors."

SLANDER AND LIBEL FROM PALESTINIANS ABOUT ISRAELIS

1. Palestinians have been telling lies for many years about Jews' plan to destroy their  mosque
2. Calls to Arabs to increase their popular resistance which includes rioting, stone throwing and other attacks against Israelis.
3. Charging that Jewish excavations in the vicinity are meant to cause the mosque to collapse.
4. Cartoons depicting such offenses.
5. Invasions of Jews on the Temple Mount with accusation held negatively that there were 184 invasions into places of worship.   Tourism is regarded as INVASION! Jews looking  at site or praying is not allowed.                                                  

6. Israel allows herds of settlers to enter the plaza daily.  Muslims are under the protection of the Israeli "occupation" police which provokes the Muslims. I guess they'd rather not be protected.   This shows they do not accept the right of Israel to be there in the first place as the police are not occupiers but full citizens of Israel which in essence is the ruler over the land, not the occupiers.  They are kept in the dark about the acceptance of the wars and the circumstance which is the result of their decision-making about attacking Israel.                                                                    

7. By visitors being on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Muslims are wrongfully charging its desecration.
8. Muslims, on the other hand, encourage extremists to visit it that are Muslims.  They have been called upon not just to pray but to be there in force in order to "protect" it from the attacks against it-in other words, the visitors.                                                                            

9.  Muslims leaders tell their flock to carry out their duty and protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem and to assist them with every means at their disposal to protect the purity of the Holy city and prevent attempts to desecrate-falsify its character and to Judaize it.
10  They will use violence there to get rid of Jews in attendance in the crowds. They stress to hold onto the mosque until the day Allah inherits the land and everything on it.  This comes from all the Muslim religious leaders:

View of Western Wall (Kotel)  with people praying.  This is part of the wall enclosing 2nd Temple-Herod's Temple still standing in the Old City of Jerusalem.  Since we don't have the 2nd Temple anymore, this has become the place of prayers.

The religious Jewish Holiday taking place on July 26, 2015 was a fast.  Tisha B'Av was a day for Jews of mourning.  They were to remember the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples in 586 BCE by Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonians and again in 70 CE by the Romans who were OCCUPYING Jerusalem and Judah itself who ended things for Jews by burning the city down with the Temple.  The Jews were then forced in exile from the land of Israel, but pockets of Jews remained as were not found by the soldiers.
                                                                         

The wall goes down 60 feet underground.  It is very close to the Holy of Holies which was at the western end of the Temple.  This part of the wall is regarded as sacred and was treated so ass far back as the Talmudic Period of at least the 10th century and regular services were held before it.
                                                                             
Fights had broken out between Jews and Muslims in 1929, a time of rioting stirred up by Haj Amain al-Hussein, the sherif of Jerusalem who was in the same position as today's PA Mufti Mohammad Hussein with the Muslims.  One wonders if they are related.  They share the same goal-to destroy Israel.  Fights broke out again by the wall  in 1931.  A special commission of the League of Nations was called in by the British to regulate the rights of the parties.

Starting in 1948, when Israel was declared a state, the Muslims cut off the Jews from reaching the Western Wall which was under Jordanian rule, despite a paragraph in the Israel-Jordan 1949 Armistice Agreement affirming Jewish right of access.  So much for agreements.

IDF soldiers viewing Wall for first time

Have you noticed all the Muslim citizens  who have equal rights in Israel?  They seems to have even too many rights on the Temple Mount.  Israel is trying to keep things cool and under control.  It will not be Israel who starts a war over the site.  Some believe its just an excuse to start another war with Israel. 

 When it comes down to it, the Mosque of Omar is the 3rd most religious site in the Muslim world.  The first 2 are in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.  The Mosque of Omar, also called the Dome of the Rock, was built in the center of the Temple area called al-Harim or ash-Sherif in Jerusalem by Caliph Abd al-Malik in about 738, well after Mohammad had died in 632. It is also called EL AKSA, meaning"the farthest from Mecca.  This mosque was built to replace the temporary structure set up by Caliph Omar a century earlier.  It is situated on the traditional site of Mt. Moriah  He built it to mark the site of the legendary flight of Mohammed from Mecca to Jerusalem on his flying horse, El Buraq.  

                                                                               

 Omar was a terrible caliph. .  He was the 2nd one and ruled from 634 to 644.  During his reign, several regions with ancient Jewish communities were conquered such as Palestine, Syria and Mesopotamia.  On his orders, most of the Jews were expelled from northern Arabia.  

As a result of the SIX DAY WAR of 1967, Jews could once again visit the Wall which now came under Jewish sovereignty for the first time since the 2nd Temple Period.

As a result, on Shavuot 1967, the 1st day the Wall could be visited by the public, 200,000 people went there, and since then it has been a focal point for Jews from all parts of the world.



We know that Muslims have been digging under the Temple structure in  order to destroy Jewish property.  They accuse Jews of being up to the same goals to destroy their mosque.
