And archaeologists have long known the wall we see today is the remnant of the Roman fortress Antonia. That’s how they have conditioned the ignorant gullible useful idiots. The Shabbos goy.

Nobody ever thought it was part of the "second" temple (there being no evidence for the existence of the first) until the 12th century, when a visiting Sephardic Jew, Benjamin of Tudela, decided that it was.

Some facts about the “Wailing Wall” ( or the Buraq Wall, or what is known in English as "the Western Wall”), let alone al-Haram al-Sharif, had never had a central religious importance as a prayer site for the Jews before the advent of Zionism.

•The ground it’s built on is owned by Palestinians

• Not a single stone dates back that far.

“It was Zionist colonists and zealots who began to lay claim to the Wall, which instigated a number of violent confrontations with Palestinian Muslims in the 1920s.” https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-palestine-jerusalem-aqsa-mosque-zionism-religious-war-fuel

AGENT PROVOCATEURS

Settlers are invading al aqsa twice daily Sunday-Thursdayunder the protection of the occupation force because they claim its the site of their Temple Mount even though the Rabbinate forbid Jews from entering the compound and praying there, as it is considered too holy to tread upon. https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2017/12/6/al-aqsa-mosque-five-things-you-need-to-know

“..the Jewish authorities in and around Jerusalem from 70 C.E. until 1077 C.E. (for over a thousand years) only showed their religious interest for the location of the Temple at the area positioned over and around the Gihon Spring.

This was at least 1000 feet south of what later became known as the Dome of the Rock. This is the exact area that the Genizah documents from Egypt show the Jewish authorities wished to live (to be near their Temple) in the time of Omar, the Second Caliph (638 C.E.).

The present "Wailing Wall" is a modern invention (devised about 350 years ago) and Jewish scholars know this to be a certain fact. That "Wailing Wall" is actually the Western Wall of Fort Antonia. The true Temple was located over the Gihon Spring on the southeast ridge of Jerusalem. There can be no doubt of this fact. It is time for all people to abandon these false religious sites." - “The Temples That Jerusalem Forgot"/Ernst Martin.

There is no question that the true Temple would have been near the Gihon Spring, which is the only natural spring in the area.

I have wondered for a long time why the US allows dual citizenship Israelis to hold elected government positions in the US and why States do as well. There is a saying something to the effect of "a person cannot serve two masters". As a US citizen this means to me that an Israeli who has dual citizenship with the US should not be allowed to run for office or hold office in the US. Who decided that this was OK?

Does the US allow dual citizens from other countries besides Israel to hold elected office here? How do other countries handle this? Is there an article about this available?

Australia has a very good policy that says dual citizens cannot be in the federal government. Even dual Aussie/Kiwi citizenship is unacceptable.

Seems like a very reasonable policy, Ms. Dalefield, kudos to Australia for this policy. I can't say the US has the same, to my knowledge.

Since when did Americans get to join foreign militaries, too? There are a lot of Americans who join the israeli military, which should not be allowed—I think they get away with it because they claim dual citizenship, but any jew can get israeli citizenship—so which country are they really loyal to? Hint: no the US.

Michele Bachmann has US and Swiss citizenship. She was a darling of the tea party but overestimated herself. For a while though, she was a big deal.

This is just vile. Yes, vile. Has Adams even made any kind of comment to New Yorkers? Has he said he served them? My guess is no, but even if he has, that's the ONLY group that should be told that. That he felt he HAD to go do this, that NO ONE (besides Shaun and maybe some other independent media) will shows just how much Americans are second-class citizens in our own country.

"Israel First" is our motto and too many of us seem to be ok with it. But a Mexican flag sticker on a car, or a Mexican flag waved at anti-ICE protests, and those people are told to "go back to Mexico if you love it so much."

As I understand it, NYPD buys training from Israel. That should raise concerns. Now Mamdani has proposed retaining the police commissioner, despite some policy differences. Since she is a friend of Israel, this is another concern.

DiBlasio was another progressive major of New York who was stymied by institutional friction. Mamdani is going to need some new institutions.

On the informal front, there are people in New York spreading the ridiculous notion that Mamdani is going to kill all of the Jews in New York. There's about 1,000,000 Jews in New York, and the NYPD is trained by Israel, so this isn't going to happen. But some people believe it, and some other people promote it to advance their agenda.

South Africans termed collabs of colour “Askari.” That’s what the fucker is. A Nazi Askari

I'm not sure what language that is in South Africa which has 12 official languages. Askari is also a Swahili word meaning warrior/soldier/police. Askaris are well thought of in Kenya.

“The askari were black South Africans who worked with the apartheid state to assist operations against anti-apartheid activists, like Nelson Mandela.”

More important than ever! The work that the Hind Rajab Foundation is doing will continue to be vital in tracking down and bringing the culprits to justice. This is an ongoing project and worthy of support.

Insanity and hypocrisy, tolerated and promulgated by all branches of this government with assistance from what used to be called the fourth branch of government, the so called free press that is owned by the same foreign government that owns our government. It is absolutely disgusting and disgraceful and Insanity mixed with hypocrisy.

A stunt. I don't think Eric Adams seriously believes he served the Zio state. He's a product of "law enforcement" and is auditioning for his next gig.

The irony is not lost that a man who repeatedly stated that he is a "descendant of slaves" puts an apartheid, racist, genocidal "state" on a pedestal. Like so many other U.S. politicians, he's got no conscience or soul to bother him.

I fully agree with the later part of your note, as for wether he down inside believes it or not, I don't think it really matters much, it just reflects a total disdain and contempt to his voters and constituents which seems to be the common factor amongst most US elected officials. It just wasn't out in the open and Gaza genocide exposed it.

Not voting for ANYONE from now on that does not come forward to say they will only serve US. AIPAC is a curse. Since he served them so well, he should just move there for good because he certainly will NOT be missed.
