Michael Ben Ari doesn't look kindly on Christian missionaries sending him their Bible and I happen to agree with him.
As for the Temple Mount...the "sensitivity" issue is the same side of the coin. What both incidents have in common is no one is expected to be "sensitive" towards Jews and their rights but the Jews are always expected to be considerate of others.
In the Orwellian name of "sensitivity" this is how Jewish prayer came to be banned on the Temple Mount. The only country in the world that arrests Jews for praying there.... is Israel.
And there is no outrage from so-called humanitarians over the denial to the Jews of basic religious freedoms they can take for granted in any Western country in which they happen to live.
Only in Israel is that not seen as odd. And yours truly does not look very kindly on it at all!
American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.
