European Hysteria

Josep Borrell’s recent initiative to sanction Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich is clearly in reaction to the Jewish prostrations and loud Jewish prayers on the Eastern side of the Temple Mount. What then about the status quo? The truth is that the status quo has been continually evolving, including the construction in recent years ofContinue reading “European Hysteria”

Ben-Gvir’s Visit from an Arab Perspective
