"I tell you who I am.
Out of a historical catastrophe, which Titus the Roman king destroyed Jerusalem and exiled Israel from his land, I was born in one of the cities of the Diaspora. But at all times, I was always like myself as one born in Jerusalem. "The Temple when I sang with them the songs of David, King of Israel. Thanks to Jerusalem, I wrote everything that God gave in my heart and pen."
SY Agnon, from his speech at the 1967 Nobel Prize ceremony for literature.
On the eve of the Six Day War, Naomi Shemer wrote "Jerusalem of Gold."
In Tractate Avot Darby Natan, the Midrash recounts how R. Akiva gave his wife Rachel a piece of jewelry called "Jerusalem of Gold" as a gift for standing by his side during the difficult days.
The jewel was engraved with the image of Jerusalem that stood desolate and desolate from Jews.
The glorious jewel was an expression of the sublime memory of the past and the longing for redemption and longing.
Those forces mourning the great victory of the six days, have garnered criticism of the song and especially of "the dry cisterns, the market square is empty."
In the documentary "To the Cisterns of Water", the young Amos Oz, handsome and soulful, claimed to Shemer: "What does it mean 'the cisterns are dry, the market square is empty'? It is full of Arabs. Sasson and Simcha. What is it 'No going down to the Dead Sea' "I saw Arabs coming down with my eyes."
Shemer's response was: "It makes me very angry, this argument. It's like a man misses his lover and he comes to his psychiatrist, Amos Oz, and then the psychiatrist says to him, 'Do not worry, she is not alone in bed.' A world that is empty of Jews is For me, a dead star, and the Land of Israel, which is empty of Jews, for me, is desolate and empty. "
Unfortunately, over the years, Jerusalem Day has become a sectoral holiday, the holiday of religious Zionism.
The cultural, media and academic elites have deliberately turned Jerusalem Day from a holy day, which celebrates the unification of the city and the fulfillment of Zionism, to a day when the danger of the flag parade and the mockery of the unification of Jerusalem are discussed.
In the engineering of the mass consciousness, the left and its agents have won politics and the media.
Jerusalem, the object of generations' longing, lost its power to Tel Aviv.
The death of Jerusalem Day is another example of the victory of the elites in the game of consciousness.
Is what is unclean holy and what is unclean holy?
On Jerusalem Day 2015, the Peace Now movement published a campaign asking "Are you sure we dreamed of this for 2,000 years?", Under a poster with the words "If I forget you, Silwan will be forgotten on my right."
Like Balaam in his time, they came to curse and both ignorant and foolish came out.
Because yes, in Silwan's case we dreamed about it for 2,000 years.
To return to the original city of David, to tread on the land on which our ancestors walked.
Silwan is a distortion of the original name of the place, the Shiloah village, named after the Shiloah female, where an inscription was found in Hebrew from the days of the First Temple.
A man of common sense can not help but wonder how Jews who respect the national and religious identity of the Palestinians, despise their heritage at the same time.
Deliberately mocking their history.
They did not say "this is mine and it is important to me but for peace I am willing to compromise", but rather gave up on the Arabs in the symbolic struggle.
Not only are they willing to back down, they are mocking the Jewish narrative.
In the mainstream media,
the struggle for the right of Jews to pray on the mountain was perceived as a hallucinatory madness endangering the Middle East.
A survey, had it been conducted in the various media systems, would have revealed almost complete agreement on the delivery of the Temple Mount to the Palestinians.
And there in the consciousness engineering laboratories the Zeitgeist are produced.
The same results would have been obtained in the academic, cultural, security elites.
As I ponder the motive, I wonder if their desire to get rid of the mountain stems from a conscious or unconscious desire to spread from any Jewish fulfillment.
Leave only a cultural, non-binding mantle, folklore.
Without the mountain, they think, we will normalize the people, get rid of the root of the conflict.
But they are wrong - for the Arabs, giving up the mountain will be a convincing proof of our existence as migrating blues.
An Israeli relinquishment of the Temple Mount is not only a dramatic and symbolic act, but will be perceived by the Arabs as the opposite of the Hebrew revival.
The beginning of the count to the end.
This is the absolute symbol of control over the country.
Leftists and the center, who support the relinquishment of sovereignty on the Temple Mount, accept the symbolic importance of the place for the Palestinians and the religious and national feelings of the Palestinians, but as far as the Jews are concerned - the symbolic interest loses meaning.
The national-religious sentiment becomes delusional, messianic, dangerous and irrelevant to our existence here as a nation.
Ask yourself,
is the difference in attitude not due to condescension towards the Arabs?
Racism of low expectations?
The sane and enlightened actually see the Arabs as a primitive nation in need of a national-religious symbol while the progressive, Western, rational "we" understand the power of a mature compromise.
But the Arabs are not infantile, they understand very well the importance of the mountain.
For them, an Israeli waiver would be the seal of the beginning of the end of the Zionist state.
Because from the moment you conquered the mountain, it touched you traveled.
Once you have conquered the mountain, you must not descend from it.
During a discussion in the Interior Committee (16/9/2013), MK Ahmad Tibi said about the ascent of Jews to the Temple Mount during the holidays: "The Crusaders passed, the British passed and the Israeli occupation will pass."
The Arabs see the State of Israel as a Crusader incarnation.
The Crusader kingdom existed for 200 years.
The beginning of a storm, the loss of control of Jerusalem.
When Acre, the city that Saladin left for the Crusaders, fell - their time was up.
The poet-prophet Uri Zvi Greenberg, who wrote "He who rules the mountain rules the land."
The Palestinians understand the meaning of Jerusalem for us, perhaps better than us.
Without Jerusalem there is no Jewish identity, and therefore they are consistent in trying to undermine the connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel.
They therefore deny the existence of the Temple.
"There is nothing there," Arafat clarified at Camp David 2000, adding that the temple that Shlomo built stood in Nablus and not in Jerusalem.
And the examples are innumerable.
Sheikh Kamel Ryan, one of the leaders of the southern faction of the Islamic Movement and an ally of Mansour Abbas, claimed that archeological remains of the temple had never been found.
In one of the debates in the British Parliament an Irish axis mocked the Jewish origin of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. And to our system: Yes, I am a Jew, and while the ancestors of the venerable Sheikh were cruel savages who worshiped idols in Saudi Arabia, I was standing with my Levite brothers in the Temple, singing with them the songs of King David of Israel.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
