Image: Second Temple column tossed out by the Wakf

Journalist Michael Freund posted the image above on his Facebook page. For those who cannot recognize what it is, Freund explains.

Here, in a pile of rubble and trash on the Temple Mount, lies a marble column from the Second Temple that was broken and then discarded by the Muslim Wakf which effectively controls the area. Our heritage is under assault. It is time for the Israeli government to act, and take back control of the Temple Mount!

It's long past time. But don't hold your breaths waiting for it to happen.

Name: Carl in Jerusalem

Location: Jerusalem, Israel

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
