PM rebukes deputy FM for dreaming of Israeli flag on Temple Mount

[geek tragedy]

Sure, just about innocent mumbling of prayers and interfaith dialogue . . . any suggestion that rightwing Israelis want to usurp that area is Nazi incitement that is a complete lie

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned members of his government on Monday night to “act accordingly,” hours after his deputy foreign minister, Tzipi Hotovely, also from his Likud party, said her dream was for the Israeli flag to fly over the Temple Mount.

...

The prime minister “made ​​it clear that he expects all members of the government to act accordingly,” Netanyahu’s office said in the statement, in a clear rebuke of the deputy foreign minister

...

Hotovely said Monday that the site was “the center of Israeli sovereignty, the capital of Israel, the holiest place for the Jewish people.”

“It’s my dream to see the Israeli flag flying on the Temple Mount,” she said in an interview with the Knesset channel.

...
Hotovely, who favors the annexation of the West Bank and opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state, has made public visits to the Temple Mount in recent years along with a handful of other right-wing Israeli lawmakers. She recently said that any international observers placed on the Temple Mount would be a violation of Israel’s sovereignty.

“If I were to tell the prime minister what’s correct, in my eyes it’s definitely not proper to see the flags of the Islamic State or Hamas,
in my eyes that’s a disgrace,” she said. “We need to fly the [Israeli] flag. This is the capital of Israel and this is the holiest place for the Jewish people.”

Just a reminder that Israel's top diplomat is crazier and more rightwing than Michelle Bachmann.

1. Ironic thing is that in her version of Israel, the Mount would be open to all faiths....

Meanwhile, it's the radical Global Progressive Israel hating Left that demands the Temple Mount be ruled by gay-bashing, women-hating, and Jew-killing Hamas supremacists who fear sharing the holiest place on the planet with people of other faiths.

2. So now Netanyahu is a member of the

radical Global Progressive Israel hating Left

Thanks for the laugh, shira, as usual.

[shira]

3. No, but way to avoid the argument....

If the anti-Imperialist, Israel hating Left had their way - they would side with Hamas supremacists, banning all non-Muslims from the site. Netanyahu doesn't believe that - he's just trying to avoid more violence and death. And good for him...

As ridiculous as Hotovely is, her vision is a Temple Mount open to all faiths.

4. You sure do hate the left.

Almost as much as you hate having Muslims in charge of Haram Al-Sharif/Temple Mount.

[shira]

5. Not the sane Left Democrats in power.

Of course, they're probably all right wingers to you.

Makes it simple to ignore them.

[geek tragedy]

6. Can you name a single Democrat

who thinks Israel should declare its sole authority over the Haram Al-Sharif/Temple Mount.

[shira]

7. No one sane argues that in Israel, let alone any Democrats. n/t

[geek tragedy]

8. Hotevely just did, and you came flying to her defense.

You hatefully denounced anyone on the left who disagrees with her.

[shira]

9. She's not sane. Get it? n/t

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

11. "She's not sane." She's another face of corrupt zionism.

How different are her views from yours?

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

12. "She's not sane." But if you are defending her then what does that make you?

[shira]

14. Who says I'm defending her? I'm saying that as silly as she is....

....her views are magnitudes more tolerant than any Israel-hating Zombie offended by seeing Jews on the Temple Mount or living within historic Judea.

15. The poster your engaging is not "left"

Pfft

Left wing values are anti homophobia

17. How to Identify and Defeat an Internet Troll

Have you ever met an internet troll? A troll is a special class of sociopath.

These nasty individuals are the sadistic ne'er-do-wells of the digital realm, the misanthropic misfits of information age. Unlike a normal person, when a troll enters an online discussion, he is not seeking truth or clarification. He usually doesn't even know how to debate in an intelligent manner. All he wants to do is inflict pain, ridicule, and humiliation on a targeted person.

...Suddenly, someone, usually anonymous or using a nickname (pseudonym), starts attacking you. They may use filthy language, wild insults, and crazy misinterpretations. Often they will put words in your mouth, along the lines of "So what you're saying is...." or "Nutjobs like you are only interested in ...."

The main tool of the troll is accusation. It's a form of psychological torture, to break you down by turning your words against you, twisting your statements and pounding away at one aspect of your viewpoint. No matter what you declare, the troll will question you as a person. Understand this immediately: it's you as a person that they are attacking.

Personal attacks are often banned in forums, and not tolerated in blogs and social networks. Administrators tend to block and remove anyone who engages in trollish behavior.

The troll doesn't care. Trolls don't follow the rules or terms of service. They jump from one platform and one conversation thread to another, causing as much damage as possible. If they get kicked off a site, they'll try to return, using a different username or a different computer.

Trolls are easy to recognize by their mode of operation. They will never compliment you for a smart statement, or admit that your question is difficult to respond to, or tone down the rhetoric with a smiley emoticon.

Trolls accuse and insult. Trolls needle you relentlessly. They love to flame others. They enjoy causing grief, making another person feel bad. Trolls will quickly move from serious discussion about an issue to a sustained personal assault.

The goal of a troll is to disrupt an online discussion, picking on one person, or on everyone who expresses a particular point of view.

20. The irony is lost on some.

[geek tragedy]

24. so now people are "Israel-hating Zombies" if they oppose the illegal Israeli settlements?

Funny, I have never heard a single person who isn't a rightwinger make that argument.

[shira]

25. Nah, most Zionists oppose settlements. They're not Israel hating zombies.

You didn't know this?

[geek tragedy]

26. Ummmmmm . . .

any Israel-hating Zombie offended by seeing Jews on the Temple Mount or living within historic Judea.

27. What's your point? n/t

13. It's like having Ted Cruz in the cabinet

And Donald Trump as president.

Both of which are frighteningly distinct possibilities here in America.

(Or Ben Carson who is a weird combination of the two in the most disturbing ways)

As for the OP, I agree with Yoel Hasson of the Zionist Union, who called on Netanyahu to dismiss her immediately.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

21. "It's like having Ted Cruz in the cabinet"

And the Democrats supporting him.

[oberliner]

22. The equivalent of the Democrats are calling for him (her) to be fired

Yoel Hasson of the Zionist Union called on Netanyahu to dismiss her immediately.
