Jerusalem är Israels huvudstad. Tempelberget är judarnas heligaste plats.
På Tempelberget i Jerusalem hindrar israelisk polis judiska besökare att be, arabiska muslimer kan däremot be öppet på platsen.
Idag greps 13 judar av polisen på platsen för att de bett, sjungit Hatikva, den israeliska nationalsången, och viftat med israeliska flaggor vilket störde ordningen på platsen.
En av de märkliga sakerna i den judiska staten Israel..
13 detained on Temple Mount for Jewish prayer, singing Hatikva
"...This is the second incident involving the detention of Jews attempting
to pray at the Temple Mount in less than a week. On Thursday three men
were also detained for illegally praying there."
Rights to the Temple Mount
"... Judaism’s holiest site for over 3,000 years has
been the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It is on the Temple Mount that both the
First and Second Temples stood, where millions of Jews from all over the Israel
and the Diaspora made the three Festival Pilgrimages and where, according to
Jewish belief, the Third Temple, ushering in the days of the Messiah, is
destined to be built. Throughout history, wherever Jews were engaged in prayer,
they faced Jerusalem. And in Jerusalem, they pray in the direction of the Temple
Mount.
Yet, even though the State of Israel is in full control of
Jerusalem, Jews, Christians and all non-Muslims are forbidden entry to the
Temple Mount, except during very limited hours. And during those few hours, Jews
can only walk in near silence; they may not pray.
A member of the Wakf,
the Muslim religious council, monitors the movements of Jewish visitors, and the
Israel Police will arrest any Jew upon a complaint by a Wakf member that a Jew
was praying on the Temple Mount.
This happened to me and my daughter when
we visited the Temple Mount the day before her wedding.
Her swaying in
silent meditation was enough to anger our Wakf monitor and land us in the police
station for hours for threatening the public welfare..."
