There’s a power struggle going on in Jerusalem and here’s what it’s all about… Last week 3 Islamic terrorists attacked and killed 2 Druze-Israeli police officers near the holiest place in the world for the Jewish Nation – the Temple Mount. This is the site of the First and Second Holy Temples that the ancient Israelites built thousands of years ago and is the location toward which all Jews around the world continue to direct their prayers until today. The Muslim terrorists used the Temple Mount as staging grounds for their attack, hiding weapons there and emerging from the holy site to get a jump on the Israeli police. Israel then closed the site for a brief period of time while searched for any additional stashed guns, knives, pipe bombs and the like. What they found was quite disturbing but not very surprising. Police found several caches of all of the above in addition to other various weapons hidden in and around the mosque.
