Allow me to quote a few lines from last year’s article that was never printed
The one person that is most disappointing, though, is Itamar Ben Gvir, who has long advocated for public visits to the Har Habayis (and who was the subject of an article last year by this author). He has now called for the building of a shul on Har Habayis.
The issue of deferments for yeshivah students is still on the table, but the table has shifted from the halls of the Knesset to the halls of the High Court, served proudly by the attorney general herself, someone who, in the words of one of the heads of the chareidi parties, has an insatiable hatred of all things chareidi.
We have all heard and read stories of incredible chesed among Yidden, and also of previously avowed secularists who have come to respect, understand, and maybe even joined together with their chareidi brothers and sisters. However, these are far and few between and not much has really changed. Unfortunately and painfully, it’s déjà vu all over again.
In closing, I would like to once again reference last year’s article.
