Six Shabbat “Photos” For Your Consideration

This offer was plastered all around the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem this week. Written in Arabic, it offers compensation to any Arab family that will house a sheep for sacrifice on the Temple Mount during Passover. The placards were placed there by the Jewish group: “Returning to the Mount”. Of course, it is illegal to engage in any such activity on the Mount.

Finally, newspaper ads are now appearing that harshly criticize members of the anti-government movement. This one castigates (l-r) former Chief of Staff Dan Halut, former PM Ehud Barak, and Yair Golan for calling on soldiers to refuse to serve.

As you may not know, the anarchists have spent hundreds of millions of shekels covering Israel with highway billboards against the government. Finally, some on the other side are beginning to appear such as this one that your humble servant’s wife took a photo of in Tel Aviv yesterday on the Ayalon freeway. Left to right: Simcha Rothman, Theodor Herzl and Yariv Levin on a billboard supporting the legal reforms.

Talk about fake news. This is a photo of the pro-reform protest here in Ashdod last Saturday night that appeared in the left-wing Yediot Ahronot newspaper yesterday (if you look closely you might see your humble servant and his wife). But the caption reads that this is a photo of a demonstration AGAINST the legal reforms. Unbelievable.

As soon as Ramadan started yesterday, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem was flooded with Palestinians–and Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah flags were put up everywhere. This is a photo taken early this morning of a policeman taking down a Hamas flag from the high arches in between the Kipat HaSela (Dome of the Rock) and the Al-Aksa Mosque.
