Court Petition Against Temple Mount
Desecration
The Supreme Court heard a
petition this morning by the Temple Mount Faithful against the continuing
desecration of the antiquities by the Moslem Waqf. The Temple Mount supporters
asked the Court to order the government to put an end to the Waqf's
construction activities there.
The petition included new findings: The apolitical Committee
for the Prevention of the Destruction of Temple Mount Antiquities presented
evidence that the Waqf is attempting to turn the entire Temple Mount compound
into one giant mosque. The Waqf is further planning, according to a Palestinian
who took part in the works, to erase any sign of a Jewish connection to the
site. The petitioners claimed that the committee that concluded recently that
no damage had been caused by the Moslems had not even visited the Temple Mount.
The court ruling will handed down at a later date.
