1. How are they "extremists"?
(08.01.06)
Why cant Jews pray on their most holyest site of all of Judaism but Moslem can? These are not extremists but Jews. Ughhh
2. Aviram Zino uses AD instead of CE Dumba**
(08.01.06)
Is this author even a Jew or some jackass idiot that cant even use correct terminology?
3. Mohammad Barakeh get a clue... It's an arab war.

4. even if...
yoel   (08.01.06)
Even if I don't agree with those ultra-othodox's ideology, I can only give them my support for this first victory. For me, there is something difficult to understand. As an aisraeli citizen, it would be something normal to have the right to move anywhere in Israel (in the name of territorial continuity). In any "normal" free country, you would have the right to go wherever you want, and feel safe anywhere. Is it the case in East Jerusalem, or Temple Mount? This is the only thing unacceptable. Jews are compared to pigs who would "pollute" the holy site just by being there... Unacceptable ! What do Human Right's activists say about this kind of discrimination?
5. Yea hand in hand with the gay parade
ZALMAN ,   tsfat, israel   (08.01.06)

You are absolutely right, Yoel. I'd also like to ask the same question AND HEAR AN ANSWER!
7. #4
(08.01.06)
Well maybe the same should be asked for the Palestinians. They don't even have the right to move freely inside the West Bank! I'm not saying Jews shouldn't be allowed on the Temple Mount, but please end discrimination everywhere, including for Palestinians!
8. # 1 Absolutely right!
MIK ,   Stamford, CT   (08.01.06)
If a Catholic wants to pray at the Vatican is he called an extremist? Why then does the author describe those Jews who want to pary at our holiest site as "extremist"? It is our right if not our duty to be able to pray at the Temple mount within the framework of Halacha. This article is reminisent of the article about the "extremist" Jews who come to pray at Joseph's tomb that Y-Net featured a few weeks ago. We have to learn to STOP APOLOGIZING FOR OURSELVES!
9. Number 7
anne ,   bournemouth UK   (08.01.06)
You know, I would love to agree with you. For years I argued that the attitude to Palestinians was wrong, but I have to accept that the Palestinians in the main want nothing more than the Jews out. Out or dead. The Palestinians do not want to live side by side with jews, they do not accept that jews have any rights, and given that many of them want to be martyrs (their term not mine - I would call them murderers) how can you give them complete freedom? And sadly while they bring up their kids in this hate there is little hope for change. But there is another point. No one argues that there were no jews in Palestine before the State of Israel was formed. However the Palestinians feel that none of them had the right to be there because they came from outside Palestine. These people were legal migrants, in fact refugees (apart from those who had lived there for centuries) and yet the Arab argument is that they should not be there. When they come to England, immigrants expect (rightly?) that they have the same rights as any other British citizen - so why do the Jews have no rights? My worry is that the politically correct among us are making the awful attitudes shown by some Arabs, and almost all Palestinians think they have a chance to get their (evil) way.
10. FINALLY- SANITY FROM THE SUPREME LEFTIST COURT!

11. #2 Terminology
A Christian Reader ,   USA   (08.01.06)
Honestly....with a country at war, and people from the Western world coming here for information - why is this an important piece? I happen to know what CE means because I have visited Israel many times, but most of the rest of the world uses AD in its English publications. In my mind there are much more important things to discuss. And by the way, I agree that anybody should be allowed to visit what they consider their most holy place. Even for Christians, this is a holy place (as we believe in the Tanakh just as do Jews).
12. NO!!!
Rachel ,   Jerusalem   (08.01.06)
No no no! A riot on temple mount, that is all we are short of - anyway the rabbinate says that you aren't supposed to go on temple mount. And quite right too This is all I am short of at nine months. By all that is good and G-dly, NO!
13. Question for Rachel
josh ,   atlanta   (08.01.06)
Why do you say the rabbinate consider the temple mount off limits? Surely not because of provocation. To me, the fact that there is a mosque built on it, is provocation enough, the ultimate slap in the face. So why can't folks even visit?
14. Starting With Moshe Dayan's 'Gifting' Of The Temple Mount
Adina ,   US   (08.01.06)
Only in the twisted minds of the Barak Court, and in concert with their deluded leftists, would 'permission' have to be granted for Jews to visit their holiest site in their own homeland. The deluded left doesn't have a clue. Whoever controls the Temple Mount controls Israel's destiny. It is only because they surrendered Judaism's holiest site that the Arab Muslims believe they can conquer Israel. Would the Muslims give up Mecca & Medina? I am a secular zionist and this is patently clear to me. It will take a near holocaust for Barak and his gang to understand what havoc they have wrecked upon the Jews.
15. NO HECKLER'S VETO!
david ,   philadelphia   (08.01.06)
Contrary to the suggestions of #12 and others, the danger arises from the exclusivist supremacism of Muslims who abhor the idea of Jews praying on a spot that Muslims claim as a holy site, and who threaten violence to prevent it. The WRONG response to Muslims' threats of violence if Jews are allowed to pray on the Temple Mount is to refuse the Jews to ascend; the RIGHT response is to tell the Muslims that such threats are not valid means of expressing their views, and that their attempt at wielding a heckler's veto will not be successful. If a government always gave in to threats of violence, then events like desegregation of schools in the American South would never have taken place.
17. One day soon... the Altar.
Netzarim ,   Charlottesville, VA   (08.01.06)
The recorded deed to King David will be restored and enforced... in YHWH's time. Till then, let them pray on the ruins of the Temple...
18. Jews visiting the Temple Mount
Connie ,   Va.usa   (08.01.06)
Oh my gosh! I was just looking at the the cbn .com site this morning and they were talking about this very thing. According to the bible,one of the signs of the second coming of the Lord is the rebuilding of a third temple. There is an author whose name is Joel C. Rosenburg. He is or was raised a jew. He has a new book out called the 'Copper Scroll'. It is fiction based on the Bible and the probable rumour that the Dome of the Rock was built over the second Temple. If this book is like his last one it should good reading. That one titled The Ezekial Option was about a war with Iran. It was not long after I read it that Iran's new president started making his hostile remarks about Isreal. Talk about prophetic. If any Y-net readers are curious go to cbn or the authors website in his name.
19. Anno Domini???
Moshe ,   Boston, Mass   (08.02.06)
Oy Vey... Not my domini
20. EXTREMIST PRAYER MONGERS!
MARY ,   USA   (08.02.06)
Oh no, they are coming to PRAY TO THE G-D THE ARABS DON'T BELIEVE IN!!! OH NO. This G_d that does not exist may answer their prayers and give strength to the IDF and IAF!!! OH NO...... Please, don't let it happen, POLICE, they may start a third front. OH NO..... "This is a dangerous decision made in the shadow(oooooh) of the cruel war Israel is fighting against ......Such a decision is like FUELLLL IN THE HANDS OF PYROMANIACS(OOOOOOOh), and could IGNITE ANOTHER BLAZZZZE." (emphasis played down)
21. Anno Domini...
Netzarim ,   Charlottesville, VA   (08.02.06)
Sorry Moshe from Boston... Just like Tammuz, we too have been corrupted by pagan traditions... One day Machiach will restore the calendar and the proper years... Netzarim
22. visit to Temple Mount
david seddon ,   norwich UK   (08.02.06)
I believe that the decision to allow the Temple Mount and Eretz Israel Movement an opportunity at this particular time to make a high prfile visit is a dangerous and provocative one. It will inflame anti-Jewish feeling even further among the local Arab Israel/Palestinian population which can be no good for the future of either Arabs or Israelis, Muslims, Christians or Jews.
23. Extremists?
Mark Bold ,   USA   (08.07.06)
This world is turning against the Jews as predicted by the Bible, yet God will restore Israel once again... Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. John 19:37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. JESUS CHRIST, THE GREAT GOD AND SAVIOUR... shall come and sit in Jerusalem. Take Courage Israel, Romans 9:4-5 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
