בילדער: מתנחלים ביי הר הבית (מקום המקדש) מצורף קובץ
This morning I and about 20 of my neighbors made a group visit to the TempleMount, some for the first time. At first there were some problems allowing some members of the group to enter (including myself) but in the end everyone was permitted in, with extra special restrictions (in addition to the normal laundry list of restictions) l'kvod Ramadan.
Here are some pictures with brief explanations and a view you don't often get to see of the makom hamikdash:

Leaving the TempleMountthrough the "Chain Gate". They deliberately make us enter and exit through different gates to make life difficult, especially as many people walk without shoes on the TempleMount and now have to walk through the filthy Muslim Quarter until they get back to the KotelPlaza . Notice the festive lights in honor of Ramadan:

The TempleMount is In Our Hands?? Someone doesn't seem to think so...
Palestinian Flags on a building bordering the Western side of the Mount, I believe Faisal Husseini and others are buired here

Some of the Gates in the Western Wall, notice the names some of which are Tradtionally Jewish such as the "Nazir Gate":
The inside of the "Sharei Rachamim" the gates where Moshiach is foretold to enter the TempleMount. The Arabs know this tradition and have bricked up the gates from the outside in at least a symbolic effort to hinder the coming of Moshiach and the rebuilding of the Temple . Here is the view from the inside:
