The brief drama over Ben-Gvir's plan to visit the Temple Mount highlights the absurd discourse on the matter, which is too important to be conceded over one controversial minister.
Great piece. It is critical that one remember there is not one concession Israel can make to the Palestinians short of total surrender that will end the hostilities, not one. Palestinian clergy, government and media all say loudly and publicly, "from the river to the sea."
Great essay. Hands down. At the end, you write:'And the Temple Mount is too important to be conceded over the minister’s other problems." Is conceded what you meant to say? Would this be better: "The Temple Mount is too important to the Jewish people. And, Gvir's issues ought to be considered apart as they bear far closer inspection."
I signed up, specifically to read this great, well written and thoughtful piece. Thank you, also for this specifically Israeli-Jewish perspective. As a Jew living in the diaspora, I rarely get into the inner-Israeli political issues, because I feel it is none of my business. The Temple Mount, including its portrayal even by friends of Israel, is obviously a matter that concerns us all. I have said this over the last few days at different platforms.
