The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is situated in the center of the Temple Mount. The rock is the spot where Islamic prophet Muhammad ascended to Heaven accompanied by the angel Gabriel. This is also the site of the Temple of Solomon (aka First Temple) and the Jewish Second Temple, which were destroyed by the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago.
Due to its significance, the Dome fuels the emotions of both the Jewish and Christian religious messianic zealot communities. Nutwings claim that destruction of the Dome of the Rock would be the “turnkey event” for the start of the prophesied Judgement Day.
The Temple Institute wishes to relocate the Dome to another site and replace it with a Third Temple. The conversation centers around the requirements to rebuild the Temple as a function of the messianic era. Nutters believe that supremacist Jews would ride herd over the world. The internal debate centers around the “controversy” of forcing God’s hand. Many in the Evangelical Christian nutwing faith consider rebuilding of the Temple to be a prerequisite to Armageddon and the Second Coming. That’s when 144,000 nutwing chosenites are raptured into heaven while the rest of us burn in hell.
Needless to say, the mere threat of damage to or destruction of the Dome of the Rock would be fightin’ words in the Muslims world and could even threaten the rest of us with Armageddon, according to prophecy. But go back to sleep Martha- nothing to see here, move along.
Enter one David Friedman, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, who on Tuesday posed with a shit-eating Cheshire-cat grin holding a poster of the powder keg Temple Mount area. An image of the Third Temple had been inserted at the location of the Dome of the Rock. The ambassador’s stunt naturally was met with a storm of outrage.
The U.S. Embassy now claims that Friedman was ambushed with this “cheap trick” photo by his End Time Kabbalist cronies at Achiya, an Israeli settler organization. Even if one took this explanation at face value, it shows that Friedman must have the I.Q. of a crocodile reptilian.
Our go-to source for actual news in Israel, Haaretz, adds more color. It reports, “Friedman has been a controversial figure in the U.S.-Israel-Palestinian Authority axis. Known for his support of the settlements, Friedman headed a group that has raised tens of millions of dollars for Beit El, one of the most radical settlements in the West Bank.”
There have been threats before to the Dome of the Rock. They’ve come from the more extreme elements of the Likud power structure, which runs Israel. It has not gone without notice.
Even before the horrific optics for Israel of the massacre of Palestinians on their side of the Gaza border, Ronald Lauder, who’s head of the World Jewish Congress, weighed in (March 20) on the overall issue of escalating Israeli nutwingism and going so far as calling it a “grave threat to Israel.”
The New Nationalist (TNN) could just as easily offer the exact same observation that American and British goyim are held captive by messianic extremist “Zio-evanelgicals,” who are “a grave threat to America.” But nobody is even addressing this. Both of these elements are being funded and nurtured by a group of transnational Jewish and Zio-Christian mega billionaires, who operate without restraint.
Lauder offers his view, and everybody with a pulse should read his statement (below). As background to the sway of the Jewish-supremacist elements within Israel, there are locations within Jerusalem religious shrines that are closed to not just Christians and Muslims but also to non-observant Jews. And TNN can’t imagine that Lauder is too happy with the latest shit storm created by U.S. Ambassador Friedman.
– [The] threat is Israel’s capitulation to religious extremists and the growing disaffection of the Jewish diaspora. Most Jews outside of Israel are not accepted in the eyes of the Israeli ultra-Orthodox, who control ritual life and holy places in the state.
– Many non-Orthodox Jews, including myself, feel that the spread of state-enforced religiosity in Israel is turning a modern, liberal nation into a semi-theocratic one. A vast majority of Jews around the world do not accept the exclusion of women in certain religious practices, strict conversion laws or the ban of egalitarian prayer at the Western Wall.
– By submitting to the pressures exerted by a minority in Israel, the Jewish state is alienating a large segment of the Jewish people. The crisis is especially pronounced among the younger generation, which is predominantly secular. An increasing number of Jewish millennials — particularly in the United States — are distancing themselves from Israel because its policies contradict their values. The results are unsurprising: assimilation, alienation and a severe erosion of the global Jewish community’s affinity for the Jewish homeland.
Ronald Lauder tries to keep it “in house,” and we doubt the goyim could get away with saying the same thing. His final warning addresses the big issue we have with Jews in general and cuts to the heart of the matter. We can only hope his hive-minded tribe members take heed.

The Israeli minister said he wished to send “to hell the European Union which doesn’t really represent the European nations”
What freakin’ temple mount? Herodotus visited Palestine in 430 B.C. He described the people living there, their customs and the names of the kingdoms. There is no mention in Herodotus of any place called Judea or Israel, any place or thing called Canaan, and of course absolutely no mention of any Jews or their wonderful temple.
A little over 100 years later, another great Greek, Alexander, also visited Palestine.
He laid bloody siege to the Phoenician cities of Gaza and Tyre. Jews? Their wonderful temple? Not a word.
