Not just the Leftists, Israeli Security Forces Attacked by Arab Rioters in Jerusalem Area
All in protest because of the dedication of the Pilgrim’s Way, steps leading from Ir David to the Temple Mount.
Imagine what would happen if Israel incorporates Area C into Israel proper??
Far-left activists clash with police while protesting against US diplomats David Friedman and Jason Greenblatt at east Jerusalem event.
Left-wing activists protested the planned participation of two senior US diplomats in the unveiling ceremony – set to take place Sunday evening. At least one left-wing protester was arrested.
Both US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and White House envoy Jason Greenblatt are slated to appear at the unveiling ceremony in the City of David.
City of David. The Pilgrim’s Way
Lifting the Barriers: . . .Fast forward 2000 years… Same principle, different day. It's time to return to Jerusalem, the real Jerusalem. The barriers have been lifted a long time ago. And not just that, the core of Jerusalem – where it all began, has been rising slowly from dust and ashes for the last 15 years. Now one can actually walk the paths, touch its ancient walls and dip your feet in what Isaiah refers to as the living waters of the Gihon spring. Even the last stretch of the Pilgrim Road, on which every pilgrim ascended to Temple Mount is being cleared of debris as this article is written. "…Clear the way for the people; Build up, build up the highway, Remove the stones," (Isaiah 62:10) Yup, you guessed it, another prophecy fulfillment and again in the very place where it all began – Ancient Jerusalem.The ceremony will mark the formal unveiling of the “Pilgrim’s Road” – a walkway used during the Second Temple period to reach the Temple Mount.
The Palestinian Authority and far-left Israeli groups criticized the US diplomats over their decision to take part in the opening of the archeological site.
"The choice of Trump's team to adopt the settler narrative in the sensitive area of the Holy Basin undermines the chances of negotiating the area within the framework of a peace agreement," said the Peace Now organization.
Earlier on Sunday, Greenblatt pushed back against the criticism, tweeting:
“PA claims our attendance at this historic event supports ‘Judaization’ of Jerusalem/is an act of hostility vs. Palestinians. Ludicrous.”
“We can’t ‘Judaize’ what history/archeology show. We can acknowledge it and you can stop pretending it isn’t true! Peace can only be built on truth.”
