Erased from the Map

And erased from history, too.  Disturbing news about Israel, the Palestinians, and our own beloved U.N.

Despite the efforts of the PA and the Moslem Wakf, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount can never have the same significance for Moslems as for Jews. He pointed out that Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Bible, “and not once in the whole Koran,” the Moslem holy book.

Today, Jews are allowed to visit the Temple Mount only at very specific hours and in small numbers, and must be accompanied by Israeli Police as well as a representative of the Wakf, the Moslem body currently responsible for activity on the Temple Mount. In addition, Jewish visitors are not allowed to bow or pray anywhere on the Mount itself, and may not even bring books with Hebrew writing.

Once again, it appears that Mother Knew Best.  When I was a child, she told me that anti-semitism would never die.  Naively, I told her that she was simply carrying baggage from another era.

If only I'd been correct, and mom wrong.
