Israel Matzav: Petition to close Temple Mount to Muslims until Shalit released

Petition to close Temple Mount to Muslims until Shalit released

There's a petition on the Internet to close the Temple Mount to Muslims until Gilad Shalit is released by Hamas.

It's a nice idea, but of course, it will never happen. Perhaps that's why the organizers have set a modest goal of 10,000 signatures.

I'm amused at the thought of what the Security Council debate about such a closure might sound like. There would be a lot of whining about 'collective punishment.'

In any event, the petition story is here.
