DY, our very existence “provokes” terror. You have joined the ranks of our enemies by blaming us for anti-Semitism. As for your alley metaphor, baruch Hashem we are no longer in the ghetto. We just have to realize it. Rav Baruch Ashlag (son of the Sulam) says that bitachon also means that one must have faith in himself (as Hashem has, thus we say upon waking “rabba emunateicha”).

MW13, please post the exact quote in Hebrew where Rav Nevantzahl says that non-Jews “own” the site. During the Kotel controversy in 5690 Rav Kook and Rav Sonnenfeld refused to sign a document stating that the Arabs owned the Wall as it is the property of Am Yisrael. The same should be true of Har HaBayit, especially being that David HaMelech purchased it. It could be that we may not go up because for technical reasons but that does not obviate our ownership.
