"Both"

Danny Seidmann, founder of and a legal adviser to the Jerusalem nongovernmental organization Ir Amim, or “City of Nations, has an op-ed on the Temple Mount issue in The Forward.

I left this comment there:-

Danny, you are so even-handed when you write:

"In recent weeks, the site has been the focus of yet another round of violence, giving rise to charges and countercharges from Israelis, Palestinians and the Arab world over who is to blame. And there is plenty of blame to go around. Both Raed Salah, the inflammatory leader of the northern branch of Israel’s Islamic Movement, and messianic Jewish forces have been fanning the flames."

The law, the secular democratic law, guarantees free access but Jews are discriminated against so as not to fuel flames but does that help or does it fuel the Arab trend of Temple-denial, Jerusalem-denial and is, of course, a continuation to Jewish-denial as a people who deserve a state and a homeland.

And who helps the Muslims escape blame by applying a false equivalency and in essence, collaborates with those who view their incitement and violence as justified? You, Danny. Just call some Jews Messianic and you feel free to get your hands dirty.
