T. Belman. When I started promoting the Jordan Option, it was necessary for me to point out the many ways Jordan under Abdullah II’s rule was our enemy. I posted many articles to this effect. The general attitude in America and Israel towards him was to view him without blemish. So I am very please to see this headline. Israel has finally had enough. I predict that the Hashemite kingdom will come to an end very soon. Apparently Jordan was behind much of the violence during Ramadan.
Israeli leaders say Jordan supporting, encouraging violence on Temple Mount.
Security forces clash with rioters on the Temple Mount Shulo Shalom/TPS
Israel is considering possible responses to the conduct of the Jordanian foreign minister, who summoned an Israeli representative to Jordan for a clarification call.
Political sources claim that Jordan’s conduct in recent days has encouraged tensions in Jerusalem and backed Arab riots in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem noted that Israel eased restrictions for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, but its leniency was used to gather and store stones to throw at security forces and Jewish worshipers and to engage in riots. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid have claimed over the past few months that there has been a significant warming in Israeli-Jordanian relations and recently King Abdullah met with Defense Minister Benny Gantz and President Isaac Herzog.
Earlier, Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh criticized the conduct of Israeli security forces on the Temple Mount.
At a parliamentary session this morning, Al-Khasawneh said: “I congratulate all Palestinians and all Jordanian Islamic Waqf workers who stand as tall as a turret and those who throw stones at pro-Zionists who defile the al-Aqsa Mosque in the security of the Israeli occupation government.”
The Jordanian prime minister also said that Israel’s attempt to “divide the Al Aqsa Mosque” by allegedly allowing Jews times to pray on the Temple Mount was halted and they will continue to block it: “We will not allow this.”
At the same time, the Jordanian parliament submitted to the government a memorandum signed by 87 members demanding the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from Jordan in protest of what has been called the “Israeli attacks on the Al Aqsa Mosque.”
I hope Israel locks up all the rioters up for the Ramadan observance without trial and releases them after the observance into Jordan.
Politicians around the world and the halls of the UN demand of Israel that all should be allowed to visit and pray at the holy sites. How about letting Jews pray there? Or is it too much to expect that the Jews make THEIR holy sites available to be desecrated by rioting Arabs?
Considering ???????????
One of the stories told in the Passover Sedar is about the coming of Eliyah. We leave a glass of wine out and we open the door to check if he is there. Some think of this like Christians looking for Santa Claus. It has been taught by the Rabbi that we should understand that spirit of Eliyah is in all of us, and we should work to bring about his work instead of looking for the physical coming of a man long dead and gone.
The same ideal is also associated with Mashiach. Even Paul in the N.T. writings speak of the mind / spirit of messiah being in us. So therefore, since man has a freewill maybe, it is truly up to man to repent, turn our hearts and minds back to HaShem and start fixing this world.
For over 3,000 years we have been waiting for someone else to do it…… maybe… just maybe somebody else is waiting on us(mankind.)
