Israel is the only country in the entire history of the Middle East to guarantee religious freedom to all religions. During Muslim rule, Jews were facing extreme oppression. Claiming the Wailing Wall as Islamic, the Muslims have restricted Jewish access to Judaism's holies site. Despite claiming the Wailing Wall as a Muslim holy site, Islamic rulers encouraged Muslims to desecrate it. They built a residential neighborhood for MOROCCAN MIGRANTS (they called the Moroccan Neighborhood) to spite the Jews. The Muslim residents DEFECATED and URINATED at the Wailing Wall routinely. The authorities never bothered to keep the site in sanitary, orderly condition. The stench was ever-present, for the entire millennia the Muslims ruled Jerusalem.
It goes without saying that the Muslims never let the Jews pray there. The Jews were banned from blowing the shofar, or otherwise praying there in accordance with centuries old Jewish custom.
The hatred of Islamic authorities towards Judaism, towards Jews, goes hundreds, thousands of years back.
The hypocrisy, the ignorance, of the fundamentalist left knows no bounds.
As Albert Einstein, a Zionist, once said. "Only two things are infinite - the universe itself and human ignorance. And I'm still not sure about the former."
If you look at history an important part of every conquest is defeating and destroying the architectural remnants, especially religious, of the losing side. This is why the Al Aqsa mosque was built on top of the ruins of the temple in the first place.
Superb summation. I am going to send it to my senators who vilify Israel. Thank you for your insight.
Absolutely spot on.
