Israeli religious discrimination against Yehuda Glick

VIGIL IN SUPPORT OF AND IDENTIFICATION WITH YEHUDA GLICK

Harassed by the authorities because of his activities to bring Jews to the Temple Mount

WEDNESDAY. June 24 at 8:00pm

At the CHAZON DAVID Synagogue in Kiryat Arba Hevron

Since the liberation of the Temple Mount in 1967, the government of Israel implements racist decrees against the Jews who want to go up, in purity, to the Temple Mount.

In the last few years more and more Jews have asked to go up to the Temple Mount in purity (i.e. according to strict halachic rulings), with the support of Rabbi Dov Lior and other Rabbis.

The Israeli police does everything to try and limit the number of Jews going up and prevents from those going up any form of prayer, bowing down or any other mitzvah.

One of the dedicated Jews who help bring many to the Temple Mount is Yehuda Glick.

Yehuda Glick, formerly spokesman for the Ministry of Absorption who resigned in protest against the expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif, is now the director General of Machon Hamikdash (The Temple institute). He also serves as a guide for many groups of Jews who go up to the Temple Mount in purity.

This past Sukkot, thanks to Yehuda Glick, hundreds of Jews arrived to the Temple Mount for Hakhel and this in coordination with the police. And yet, the police was very surprised by the large amount of Jews that showed up. In reaction the police started a campaign of harassment against Yehuda Glick. This campaign included preventing him from entering the Temple Mount, arresting him, slandering him and even beating him up.

Recently, the police even called other activists for "investigations" all in order to scare and threaten those who want to go up to the Temple Mount. It is clear that the police act against the law and that is why they never bother to show up in court. They only threaten and harass.

Because the main harassment by the police at this point is focused against Yehuda Glick, we will all gather at a vigil in his support on Wednesday, June 24, at 8:00pm at the Chazon David shul in Kiryat Arba Hevron with the participation of Rabbi Dov Lior, MK Dr Michael Ben Ari and Yehuda Etzion.

We will tell Yehuda Glick:

WE SUPPORT YOUR EFFORTS! WE ARE WITH YOU!

And we will tell the authorities:

STOP HARASSING JEWS WHO GO UP TO THE TEMPLE MOUNT!

THE TEMPLE MOUNT MUST BE IN JEWISH HANDS!

The Bolsheviks also harass Christians who go up to the Temple Mount. The Leftist war against the Right - regardless of whether they're Christian or Jewish.

A House of Prayer For All Peoples?
Will Israel Right the Wrong against David Ben-Ariel?

Let the persecution of Yehuda Glick incite Jews and Israelis to demand an end to religious discrimination against Jews and Christians upon the Temple Mount.

It is just insanity that Israel sides with non-Jews on this matter.
