Elder Of Ziyon - It appears at least one shofar was blown on the Temple Mount on Rosh Hashanah

Blogging about Israel and the Arab world since, oh, forever.

It will never really be “the Jewish state” as long as things like this occur. It’s disgusting that Jews can’t pray freely, at our holiest place, on our holiest holidays. The Israeli government is run by absolute cowards.

“Avri Bloch, reporter for Channel 20, says "A Shofar was sounded on the Temple Mount in the Old City. The Israeli police detained a Jew who, during the Ascent to the Temple Mount on Rosh Hashanah, blew a kosher Shofar 12 times, the minimum amount of blasts needed to be valid."

But Islamaphobia is the REAL problem, right? All bigotry is equally wrong. Period. However, Jews are targeted FAR more than any other religious group in the US. That is a fact. Yet, its almost ever talked about. The reason is obvious. Antisemitism isn't nearly as "profitable" politically as nearly every other form of bigotry. The reason for that is that most American Jews are "white" (whatever that is supposed to mean), and therefore destroy the narrative of the race-obsessed far left. (Which is exactly why the far left likes to diminish the Holocaust-the most horrific genocide in human history proves that skin color isn't the sole criteria of heinous evil)
