We’ve built many little, little temples,” Ariel said, referring to synagogues, “but we need to build a real Temple on the Temple Mount.”This is really quite unhelpful. The comment was made at an archaeological conference, but no context from the speech is given for the quotation and it may have seemed less rash in its full context, but these days letting that sound bite loose at all was rash.
As I keep saying, no building or excavation on the Temple Mount unless and until it can be done using non-invasive and non-destructive scanning technologies. Which I am inclined to think may not be all that far in the future.
