Hey folks!
Hi, this is Don Kedal with another Israel Report and today is a really exciting day.
I get to join, hopefully, I'm hoping it's going to be many, many Jews, many, many
Israelis from all over Israel that are going to come and they're going to join
the family of the victim of last week's terror attack.
We're going to have a very exciting day, hopefully, I'm hoping it's going to be many, many, many,
many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many,
many, many, many, many, many, many, many.
To turn our pain into productivity, turn our sadness into sanctification and for you around the world,
around the world. We're your feet on the ground here. You're here with us, just as they're
here with us. And so, Bezrat Hashem, we've taken one step closer to reclaiming our rights
to all of Yerushalayim, to reclaim our rights to pray as a free people in our land, to reclaim
our rights as the Jewish people in our eternal capital of Yerushalayim.
People care about writing, about books, about letters. If our own government won't let us write up there. It's meaningless. It's meaningless. Our declarations to UNESCO, unless you sit on the ground, then we have every right to pay up there.
Very good. Prime Minister Netanyahu, letters are meaningless unless you let these people right now get up there and do what they want and have their rights up there.
Folks, this is Isha'i Fleischer, I'm the international spokesman for the Jewish community of Hebron and a Temple Mount activist as well. Today, very simple. After the murder of Halal Yaffa Ariel, a little 13-year-old girl who was murdered, the murderers didn't know that her parents were also great Temple Mount activists, and the jihad that tries to make us afraid all over the country does know that this is the epicenter of the Jewish claim, of Jewish identity, of Jewish spirituality.
And here we are today. Thousands of people have come to the entrance of the Temple Mount to demand of our government to stop being afraid and to give us basic and minimal rights. Basic, minimal human rights to have the right to speak, to pray, to walk in freedom in the place that's most historic to us.
Today, our own government is in cahoots with the Jordanian Waqf, the Muslim trust, to deny our basic rights on the Temple Mount. And this is in the heart of our capital. This is the capital of our capital.
And so today, there's a huge gathering led by the parents of Halal Yaffa, a 13-year-old who was stabbed in the heart. And her mother said today, we will take the stab out of the heart of our Jerusalem, the heart of our people, which is the Temple Mount.
And this activism, this awakening, this protest is going to help Jews throughout the world know what the epicenter is. By the way, caveat, the Western Wall is not the holiest place of the Jewish people. It is the retaining wall around it.
The Western Wall is the remnant of the actual Temple. And because we were stopped from going up to the Temple Mount, the Temple, the Western Wall became a prayer place. But it was just a kind of second best. It was just a kind of pit stop on the way to the Temple Mount.
It's very simple. If you want to know where the important places are, it's very simple. The places that they're trying to stop us from getting to, that's how you know that it's the important place for the Jewish people. Every important, historic, and holy place is exactly where the Jihad wants to make us unable to get there.
If it's the tomb of Joseph, the tomb of Rachel, the Temple Mount, or the tomb of the Founding Fathers and Mothers of Chevron, the Jihad wants to stop us from those places.
I just finished being at the event here. It just wrapped up. The event was awesome. There were, I would say, at least, I'm assuming roughly around a thousand Jews that came up to the Temple Mount this morning to show their solidarity, to show their support of the family, Ariel family.
This is just a wonderful turnout to see how many people came today, to see the support, to see the nation of Israel coming together about the Temple Mount. And that was the message throughout the whole day today, was that we need to restore ourselves to the Temple Mount.
We need to come back to our home. We need to restore God's home, God's house on earth. Hashem, God does not have a home. Well, he has one. It's here in Jerusalem, of course, it's the Temple Mount, but we need to build him a home.
We need to fight for his home. And that's pretty much the message that we heard today from many of the people that came. We, the Jewish people, we need to make the Temple Mount one of the top priorities for us.
And it needs to become the top among the people, but it also needs to become a top priority for the government of Israel, and that they need to allow and let Jewish worshipers go up freely to the Temple Mount.
And so that's the reality today. That's what's happening. And you'll see the footage that I filmed from the event, and I hope you enjoy.
This is Don Kedav from Jerusalem, Israel. Thank you again for listening. Shalom and may Hashem bless you.
