They injured many people, and murdered four rabbis who were in the middle of prayers in this barbaric attack, leaving over two dozen children without fathers. There was a fifth murdered victim, a heroic Israeli Druze policeman, who sacrificed his life trying to save the civilians under attack. He leaves behind his wife and 4-month-old baby.

MEMRI: Preacher At Al-Aqsa Mosque: May Allah Annihilate America And Its
Coalition And 'Enable Us To Cut Off Their Heads', We Want A Caliphate That
Will 'Liberate Jerusalem From The Jews, The Most Vile Of Creatures'

In an impromptu sermon at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Palestinian preacher Ali Abu
Ahmad called upon Allah to annihilate America and its coalition. "Oh Allah,
enable us to cut off their heads," he said, adding that there was need for a
Caliphate that "will liberate Jerusalem from the Jews, the most vile of
creatures." The sermon was delivered on November 21, 2014 and was posted on
the Internet.

Ali Abu Ahmad: "Who will come to the aid of Islam, if not us? Who will come
to the aid of Jerusalem, if not us? Who will come to the aid of the
Caliphate, if not us, oh servants of Allah? Do you want America to bring you
a caliphate tailored to its interests? Such a caliphate would sanction the
killing of Muslims, would shed their blood, and would violate the honor of
their women, in the name of Islam. Absolutely not, oh servants of Allah. We
want a caliphate in the path of the Prophet, which will protect lives, will
defend women's honor, and will liberate Jerusalem from the Jews, the most
vile of creatures."

[...]

"Oh servants of Allah, do not resort to the international community. Do not
resort to the international institutions or the Security Council, for they
are the ones who brought the Jews to the land of Palestine. They share the
blame for their barbaric crimes against the Muslims in Palestine. Seek
refuge in Allah the Almighty, the Avenger. Only Allah can break the backs of
America and the Jews, as he did to Pharaoh and Nimrod."

[...]

"Do not be deluded by the arrogance of the Jews, or by their crimes against
the Muslims of Palestine. This is merely a prelude to their elimination,
Allah willing, at the hands of the loyal mujahideen within Palestine and
abroad."

[...]

"Oh Allah, annihilate America and its coalition. Oh Allah, enable us to cut
off their heads. Oh Allah, help our brothers, the mujahideen in the land of
Iraq and Syria."

Har HaBayit Internal Debate -

bs"d

Internal Jewish Debate

fyi Interesting debate opposing and supporting ascent on Har Habayit. I will save my comments to a future post. Robin

Four people killed in terror attack at Jerusalem synagogue

Two terrorists infiltrate synagogue, yeshiva compound in Har Nof neighborhood, attack worshipers with large knives and gun; eight people wounded; terrorists killed.

Noam (Davul) Dvir, Agencies

Latest Update: 11.18.14, http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4593099,00.html

While the PFLP didn't explicitly claim responsibility for the atrocity at the synagogue in the Har Nof neighborhood, it did laud the attack while describing the two assailants, cousins Ghassan and Odai Abu Jamal, as "PFLP comrades." A statement released in the name of Khalil Maqdesi, a member of the PFLP's Central Committee, was in essence a call to genocide. "Occupiers and racists do not belong to the land of Palestine; there are, and must be, consequences and repercussions for the theft of our land and our rights," Maqdesi said. If his meaning here is unclear, look at the bloodstained images from the Har Nof synagogue for clarification. Similarly, anyone tempted to believe that the PFLP is the secular organization that Maqdisi presents it to be, should ask why the terrorists screamed "Allahu Akhbar" as they embarked on their murder spree.

What was most striking about this statement, however, was Maqdesi's praise of Jewish anti-Zionists: "Thousands of Jews around the world are true and genuine voices for the struggle, leading boycott movements and joining the Palestinian struggle for liberation on a daily basis. We salute each and every one of them." I think he knew what he was doing here, and it's smart. Maqdesi understands that by heaping compliments on the tiny minority of Jews who collaborate with anti-Semites, many observers will conclude that the PFLP didn't kill Jews this week because they are Jews. And once that's established, the door is open to the moral equivalency and rationalization that has stained so much of the media coverage of the Har Nof attack. http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/11/24/overlooked-palestinian-terror-group-returns-with-a-vengeance/

Temple Mount exclusive broadcast rights to Fatah-Hamas. For Zion's sake, I will. http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2007/12/temple-mount-exclusive-broadcast-rights.html

This past Thanksgiving, at the Agudah Convention in Stamford Connecticut, on Motzei Shabbos, the theme was an Undivided Jerusalem. Rav Perlow, the Noveminsker, the Rosh Agudath Yisroel spoke. He said that he actually took a plane recently to Eretz Yisroel for the sole purpose of speaking to Rav Eliashiv and Rav Shteinman regarding this matter. Rav Eliashiv said clearly that he is against giving away parts of Yerushalyim. Rav Shteinman also agreed. Rav Eliashiv told Rav Perlow that he can say so publicly in his name and with full strength (Bechol Hatokef). Rav Eliashiv said "Will we have to ask permission of the Yishmaelim to daven at the Kosel?" Rav Perlow asked the audience regarding the Gov't of Israel "Can we trust them with Security???" The Mayor of Jerusalem, the Honorable Uri Lupiansky then spoke. He told the audience that we in America have great influence. He asked us not to wait until it gets too late to speak up. He reminded us what happened when there was a riot at on Har Habayit. They started throwing stones at the Kotel square. He said it was a miracle that no one was killed. He said that the enemy is within. They are the forces that wish to divide us like a piece of Salami, piece by piece and hand us to our enemies.

Rabbi Dovid Yosef

Israeli chief rabbi tells Jews to stay away from Temple Mount

November 7, 2014. Yitzhak Yosef, Israel's chief Sephardic rabbi, made the call during the funeral Friday of Shalom Ba'adani, 17 who died that morning in hospital from wounds he sustained on Wednesday when a Palestinian terrorist hit him and 12 others with his car.This is the place to call on the esteemed public to stop this incitement, from here a call is heard, forbidding any Jews from going up to the Temple Mount. From here a call is heard to stop this so that the blood of the People of Israel may stop being spilled," Yosef said.

Members of the Jewish Home party criticized Yosef for calling to Jews to stay away from the Temple Mount and disputed his assertion that it led to bloodshed.

Naftali Bennett, the party's leader and Israel's economy minister, wrote on Facebook: "Honorable Chief Rabbi, Jewish blood was spilled because Arabs murdered them."

Orit Struck, a lawmaker for the party, called the rabbi's remarks "unfortunate," The Jerusalem Post reported. "I protest the blaming of Jews for the incitement and murder committed by Arab terrorists," she said.

Senior Haredi Sefardi Rabbi Approves Going Up to Temple Mount By: Yori Yanover March 9th, 2014 Rabbi Meir Mazuz (seen visiting a synagogue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn) declared in a public Internet psak that it is legal for a Jew to go up to temple Mount.

Rabbi Benny Lau Backs Jewish Prayer on Temple Mount

High-profile rabbi changes stance in light of recent developments; 'It can't be that Jews are humiliated to the lowest depths.'

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/187516#.VG5SlvnF8WI

Rabbi Lau - who is a cousin of the current Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi David Lau and a household name due to his weekly TV show and regularly media appearances - noted that the campaign for freedom of religion on the Mount could no longer be ignored, particularly since Muslim and Palestinian leaders were wielding the issue as part of their overall war against the Jewish state.

"The battle on the Temple Mount is no longer a battle of a few individuals," he continued. "It has already become a wider battle where both the Muslim leaders and the Palestinian leaders have set their eyes on the Temple Mount which is the focus of everything and impossible to put to the side for one moment."

He added that his decision had also been influenced by recent strongly-worded statements by hareidi rabbis against Jewish visits to the Temple Mount.

Among them, Rabbi David Yoseph - a prominent member of the Shas party's council of Torah sages and brother of Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yoseph - went so far as to pen a letter to the prime minister, asking him to prevent Jews from ascending the Temple Mount.

Rabbi Yoseph even branded the silent prayers of those who did manage to visit the site as "abominations."

Dismissing the long list of prominent rabbis who support and encourage Temple Mount prayer, particularly (though not exclusively) from the religious-Zionist camp, Rabbi Yoseph urged Netanyahu "not to be fooled by an extreme and eccentric minority" who he claimed were "using Jewish law" to justify a "Messianic" agenda and advocating Jewish prayer rights on the Mount.

Netanyahu on the Jewish State Bill

Paul Eidelberg

"People ask who needs this bill; we have managed 66 years without it," Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said ahead of the [Knesset vote on the Jewish State Bill].

"Israel," said Netanyahu, "is a Jewish democratic state. There are those who want democracy to take precedence over Judaism, and those who want Judaism to take precedence over democracy. In the law that I am bringing, both principles are equal and must be given equal consideration." (My emphasis)

Okay: you don't have to be a rocket scientist to dissolve this obscurantism.

Just suppose that the Arab citizens of Israel hold a majority of the seats in the Knesset, and that, by a democratic vote, decide to transform the "Jewish" state into an "Islamic" state.

Whoever insinuated that BB is stupid? Perhaps he's suffering from a mental disorder such as schizophrenia, one symptom of which is escapism, of living in denial.

Conversely, a psychologist might say, "NONSENSE! The man is just being disingenuous, quite common among politicians!☼
