The Women of the Wall say on their website that they are the “new liberators” of the Western Wall. 50 years after the reunification of Jerusalem, not only is this statement offensive to the soldiers that fought and died, the millions of Jews around the world overjoyed by the victory and the non-Jews who stood in awe of the tiny State, calling themselves “liberators of the Wall” completely misses the point.
The Western Wall is not “occupied” by an enemy force (unless they consider their fellow Jews enemies). The Temple Mount on the other hand, the actual holy site, is occupied.
There is one man in Israel that is widely associated with the battle for religious freedom on the Temple Mount – Yehudah Glick. I wrote the following before he and Amir Ohana both became Ministers in Israel’s Parliament. These two vastly different men model in their actions what it truly means to fight for freedom.
Please read and consider – what kind of freedom fighters do you want to support?
