1. Second intifada started 3 days BEFORE the visit by Sharon
Amir ,   Beer Sheva   (05.13.07)
3 days before the visit Arafat ordered the intifada. Before that, many Jews died following Oslo Peace, more than in the previous 30 years civilians died between Oslo Peace and Sharon's visit.
2. This is wonderful
Tracy W   (05.13.07)
I hope many more will join. Jews in Israel should not be treated as second class citizens by being denied access to their holy places.
3. Rabbis visiting Temple Mount
Connie ,   VA, USA   (05.13.07)
Good for them. I hope and pray more and more zionists who love the jewish people and Israel will begin to show up and make their presence known.
4. Time For Jews to Visit Temple Mount
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (05.13.07)
Time for Jews no matter if they get permission or not to start going to the Temple Mount. If the Israeli Goverment won't fight back for the recognition of Jerusalem it is time for Israelis and Jews to start. That is my opinion.
5. time for 3rd temple
augustine e johnson ,   birmingham alabama,u   (05.13.07)
whats next == how about a third temple --- as with the biblical ezra and nehemiah it is time to build after 2000 years=======shalom ==========augustine
6. Jerusalem, Even your mayor is defeatist
malcolm   (05.13.07)
He proclaimed the eventual Hamasization of Jerusalem today. How PATHETIC !!!
7. Hooray for our Zionist Rabbis
Stand with respect ,   USA   (05.13.07)
I support you, I support you, I support you. Thank you, dear Rabbis.
8. Go in your numbers!
(05.13.07)
The more they don't see the Jews at the Temple mount the more they will think of it as their own.

11. Rabbis ?
Eli ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.13.07)
And what about the alakha ? Rabbis without alakha is it real rabbis ?

13. All Jews should visit the Temple Mount
reuven ,   jerusalem   (05.13.07)
I agree. The Temple Mount is an important place for Jewish people to visit.
14. RAV KOOK
sam ,   brooklyn , ny   (05.13.07)
RAV KOOK zt"l SPECIFICALLY SAID THIS IS FORBIDDEN ! THESE ARE NOT REAL TZIONI RABANIM! get your facts right YNET
15. Lets hope this is just the start!
BJL ,   Appleland usa   (05.14.07)
The Rabbi's should be leading the way back to the Temple Mount. It is obvious that the secular government of mostly post-Jewish "leaders" wont. These post-Jewish with their weakness rely on the on human frailties instead of G-d. By doing so they are threatening the very existance of Israel. The Rabbis can regain strength for Israel by standing before G-d on the Temple Mount!
16.  COURAGEOUS RABBI
RCA ,   USA   (05.14.07)
On this, and some other issues , Rabbi Rosen has displayed courage, the ability for good and proper judgement, and original thinking. Regarding diasporic and non-orthodox jews, he has shown some fairness of opinion as well as some open-mindedness. I AM BEGINNING TO LIKE THIS GUY.
17. zionist rabbis?more like phony rabbis
ben ,   jerusalem   (05.14.07)
i am a religious zionist and i know that entering har habayit is strictly forbidden , these "rabbis"should retake their semicha test .
18. #4-Sam. Ditto that !
RCA ,   USA   (05.14.07)
19. TIME TO VISIT THE TEMPLE MOUNT
RCA ,   USA   (05.14.07)
with Jews and Rabbis too many to count. If some Arabs and Jews wish not to play The time to visit is soon anyway.
20. Blatantly twisting Torah to suit political views
Daniel ,   New York   (05.14.07)
It doesn't get much more outrageous than this.
21. libration day
sameer ,   al quds   (05.14.07)
I think no problem with tourism visit but visits with uncovered hidden goals will be dangerous, spacialy after the muslims relibrating the holly city which is a matter of time, so you have to understand the risks of any actions now while you have temporarely power on the land
22. Congratulations!
danny lee mathis ,   Iron Station USA   (05.14.07)
It's ALL about Jewish Identity. Don't let "anyone" take that away.
23. RE: #17 - not so!
david ,   new haven CT   (05.15.07)
it is a common misconception that jews are not allowed to go on the temple mount. it all depends where you go. some parts are off limits, some are uncertain and some are clearly o.k.
24. #21
(05.16.07)
you my friend are barking up the wrong tree. you will never ever have jerusalem. it is jewish by birth and by right. historically as well. you arabs are more than welcome to share it with us, we don't mind. but liberate it? from whom? from you, for sure. NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM my friend and it will always stay so no matter how many bombs, intifadas, terrorism, etc... we love our capital and it will remain so. try to come on ben yehuda street and see the celebrations, the people having a great time, the life of the city. we don't hate, we live, enjoy and prosper.
25. Think big to secure Israel! End appeasement, "restraint" ...
Chaim   (05.23.07)
Leftist ideology, which has dominated Israel until now, holds that by shrinking Israel as much as possible, we will find acceptance. This has lead to hundreds of acts of appeasement, including incredible acts of giving guns to terrorists! Every single Israeli retreat has been a disaster. The answer is to act like self respecting people. Love, claim, defend and settle every inch of our land., including our Temple Mount. Had we kept the Sinai, settled Judea, Samaria & Gaza with millions of Jews and dealt harshly with terrorists, our enemies would have given up. We'd have defacto peace. Thnk big to secure Israel! End the sick policies of appeasement, "restraint" and begging terrorists to recognize our right to exist!
