What kind of security check can you expect when you choose to visit the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, site of the Holy Temple, the holiest place on earth? If you are a non-Muslim you will not be allowed to carry upon your person any religious article, symbol, or book. If you are a tourist from Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe, or the Americas, you will be allowed to pass smoothly and quickly through the security checkpoint, undergoing only a minimal security check, before being allowed to continue freely up to and around the Temple Mount. If you are an outwardly religious Jew from Israel, or from Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe, or the Americas, or if you are a non-Jew in the company of outwardly religious Jews, you will need to hand to the police in advance your identity card or passport, wait patiently to be called one at a time to enter the security checkpoint where you will be subjected to an invasive and abrasive security check, often involving a full-body pat-down. You will then be ordered to wait again until the entire group of Jews that the police will allow to enter the Mount together, (a restriction only applying to Jews), have cleared security. Your identity card or passport will then be returned to you, after which you will receive instructions from a police officer listing what you are allowed to do, (be silent and follow police orders), and what you are not allowed to do, (pray, sway, stand still, walk too fast, eat, drink, laugh, cry, or respond to Muslim aggression which awaits you on the Mount). Nor does the hostile treatment of Jews by the police change for the better once the Jews have entered the Temple Mount. On the contrary, Jewish worshipers on the Temple Mount are subjected to a crush of police and Waqf guards who dog every step taken by Jews. This 'in your face' oversized 'security detail' does not let up for a second, from the moment they greet the Jews entering the Temple Mount to the moment they rush the Jews off, making certain the Jews don't utter any last-minute prayers before exiting the Mount. The footage contained in this video was taken by a Jew after he was ordered into a side room to undergo a body search. The unfolding scene imparts a small taste of the hostility and disdain to which Jews ascending the Temple Mount are subjected to by the police and security personnel.
