The Temple Mount Has Already
Been Ceded
We are in the midst of a strategic process to cede the Temple Mount. In the
past, negotiations were first announced amidst handshakes and fanfare on a
lawn in Washington, while the Right demonstrated. The current process is
just the opposite: PM Netanyahu has already reached agreements in principle
and now he is going to create the facts on the ground and get the public
accustomed to the new reality.
The most potent landmines in the past negotiations were Jerusalem in general
and the Temple Mount, in particular. Even with Ehud Barak, who was willing
to give everything away, the deal fell through over the Temple Mount. That
is why the opposite method is being employed in the current negotiations:
First, Israel cedes the Temple Mount and Jerusalem while declaring that we
are doing no such thing. But the facts on the ground show that we are – in
front of our eyes. At a certain stage, the PM will have to admit the truth.
The explanation will be, ‘Just as no Jew steps foot in the Eastern
neighborhoods of Jerusalem, so no Jew will step foot on the Temple Mount.’
This is a process in which the government is peeling layer after layer of
Israeli sovereignty from the Temple Mount.
All the Israeli governments since 1967 have ceded the Temple Mount, step by
step. On Netanyahu’s watch, this phenomenon has accelerated and in my
evaluation is coordinated within the framework of a plan: not a capitulation
here and there, but an overall plan.

The Temple Mount.....
Twenty years ago, MK Moshe Feiglin began a long journey. The journey’s end
is the prime ministerial seat. In the meantime, he has managed to block
traffic in the entire country, be put on trial, change the rules of the game
in the Likud and feud with Binyamin Netanyahu, who buried a number of land
mines under his legs. The land mines delayed the unconventional politician,
but did not stop him. Today he is a Member of the Knesset and serves as
Deputy Speaker of the Knesset.
The media still don’t know how to digest Feiglin the politician after years
of categorizing him as an extremist and crowning him as the leader of a
subversive group called “The Feiglinites”: Finally, they have begun to
accept him. Feiglin, who is considered the most eloquent and one of the most
talented speakers from among the rightist MKs, has become a popular guest in
Israel’s television studios and news programming. Even when the media do not
agree with him they are much more accepting of him than they were in the
past.
Now that the political novice has spent many months of basic training in the
Knesset, we set out to meet MK Moshe Feiglin to find out if anything has
changed, moved or softened in his well-defined ideology.
“When it comes to my beliefs, I really don’t think that anything has
changed. That is expressed in the way I vote in the Knesset,” says Feiglin,
sitting down on the swing on his wooden porch. “I cannot vote against my
conscience; that simply doesn’t work for me. If there has been any change,
it is in my ability to accept different opinions and communicate with
others.”
He also has an explanation for the change in his ability to accept and
communicate with others: “When I established Zo Artzeinu twenty years ago,
the neighbor across the street didn’t know my name. I was simply Tzippy’s
husband. But then, with Zo Artzeinu, I blocked traffic in the entire
country. Israel came to a halt. All at once, the whole country recognizes
you and is forced to form an opinion of you, because they can’t get to work
and they can’t get home. During that era, the media was totally drafted to
support Peres and Beilin. They turned me into a demon, into their monster.
You are in a situation in which you have no way to get your message out to
the public without the media, which are on a single track against you. They
cannot not interview you because you are the story, but they do everything
they can to turn you into a monster. So you appear on the famous political
show, Popolitika, and the entire panel sitting around you wants to eat you
alive. You have one or two minutes to deliver the knock-out punch.
Frequently, I did manage to deliver a knock-out punch, but the price of a
punch is that you can’t do it softly. The struggle for the Land of Israel
can turn you into a porcupine brandishing its quills.”

Feiglin Sheds His Bristles
It is unacceptable that Moslem rioters control the Mount while Israel’s
Police Force, which claims to be the sole authority on the Mount, allows
them to continue to riot while preventing Israel’s Jewish citizens from
freely accessing Judaism's holiest site.

The Fiction That Bars Jews From The Temple Mount
The process of the destruction of the Jews that we know as the Holocaust –
this is the historical example from which we must learn, and Netanyahu is
correct in presenting the issue as such, despite the ridicule and scorn of
his detractors – did not begin in 1939 with the start of World War II. The
Holocaust began in 1933 when the leader of a large and important country was
elected and from his Reichstag, announced his intention to destroy the Jews.
The Jews had no way to react and the world stood by in silence. As a result,
a question mark began to hover over the right of the Jews to exist.
Later,
when the opportunity to destroy them arose, this De-legitimization
translated into the cooperation of the nations of the world; be it the
active cooperation of the East or the passive cooperation of the West.
Yes, there is a bomb even more dangerous than any nuclear bomb: the bomb of De-legitimization.
When Ahmadinijad began to threaten Israel and proceeded with actual
preparations to make good on those threats, the world was confused. It
anticipated an Israeli reaction similar to its attack on the Iraqi nuclear
reactor. For decades, we have been dragging every visiting VIP to the
Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, Yad Vashem, pointing to what happens to Jews
when they don’t have their own state to protect them and basing our State’s
right to exist on this claim. That has been a mistake.
