Police turned away Anti-Defamation League Director Abraham Foxman when he led a group who was scheduled to tour the Temple Mount this week. "It is both sad and offensive for Palestinians to continue to fuel the myth that the Jewish people have no history or interest in the holy sites that have been the cradle of the Jewish faith. To call a possible visit done with respect and consideration for the Islamic tradition a provocation or crime is contrary to the spirit of the Road Map and reconciliation," Foxman said.

Many preparations have already been done by groups like the Temple Mount Faithful and the Temple Institute. Most of the intricate furniture for the Temple has already been made. Priests have been trained in the precise Mosaic method of offering the various sacrifices. Plans for rapidly building the Temple have been prepared.

The Israel Archaeology Association, which approved the project, responds that you can't please everyone, especially in Jerusalem, least of all near the Temple Mount. If the ramp is moved, other groups will object. Which is a weak-sounding response--or perhaps no response at all, merely an excuse.
