Jordanian jokesters

Zichron Yaakov

Regarding “Jordan warns Israel it’s violating status quo on Temple Mount” (April 4), there is always someone warning us about something and usually it is because we don’t take responsibility for what is ours.

What in fact is being violated here is the right of the Jewish People to its holiest site, which should be under total Israeli control – as, of course, should be the whole Land of Israel. A proud nation does not allow itself to be treated with such contempt.

It is ludicrous that those whose religion did not exist until 2,200 years after Judaism should dictate to us – and even have a prime minister encourage this humiliation. It’s time for the people to stand up with pride for what is theirs.

“Blinken to Ashkenazi: Palestinians, Israelis must equally enjoy democracy” (April 4) is another example where we are allowing others to dictate to us. There is only one people in all of human history who returned to their historic land and that is the Jewish people – to settle and rebuild it for the Jewish People.

There is no other people with rights to this land and it is up to us to take a stand because our government is failing to do so.

Jordan, an unstable, corrupt “tyrant state” (according to none other than its recently imprisoned crown prince) that narrowly avoided a bloody coup just this week wants to condemn Israelis for the unpardonable sin of peacefully visiting the Temple Mount?

Who is their comedy writer?
