A survey conducted by the Panels Insitute revealed that 64 % of the Israeli public , and half of secular Israelis, want the Temple rebuilt. 97% of respondents know that the Temple was destroyed on Tisha B'Av ( Ninth of Av).
The survey's second question queried the public’s desire to rebuild the Temple. Sixty-four percent responded favorably and 36 percent said no. Analysis of the answers revealed that not only hareidi-religious and other religious Jews want to rebuild the Temple, (100 percent and 97 percent respectively), but also the traditional public (91 percent) and many secular Jews (47 percent) do as well.

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."
Samuel Adams, American Revolutionary
"A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.
To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers.... The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing.
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth."
"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing, because he could only do a little.""When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
Edmund Burke

No, we can't trust them. They're too busy trying to put Israel down (kill her - and us), using this system and many other things, along with people.
Compare the first video with those on UN Watch, where they're berating Israel about every little thing, and you'll see what I mean!
Wow, HDG, I accessed UN Watch, and what do I see? A RALLY in GENEVA? That's my dream come true! I should really go HOME and PROTEST FOR ISRAEL! I wish I could.... sniff... I won't be in Geneva on that date or believe me I would join for sure.
It must be real bad if they are willing to protest in GENEVA. It won't be taken so well; I know the city like my pocket: I grew up there, remember?
DS - you should say 'you need to go back there where I came from' not 'home' to Geneva. Eretz Yisrael is your home, B'H.
Anonymous,
Thank you for your comment. And YOU should not be anonymous!
At any rate, thank you for your point of view, which is valid. However there is a home, and then there is a home. Home is also the home were you were raised by your loving parents as a child. I hope you had the privilege of having a loving home you remember fondly from when you were growing up; the home of your parents will always remain your home somewhere in your heart. The Gemara says that a person always loves the place where they live the best. Like all Jews Eretz Yisrael is of course my home, it is the home of our Neshamot. And then there is the home, the hearth. Doesn't it say that your wife is your home ( if you are a male, which I can't tell because you are anonymous) ? That's another kind of home... And then, again, there is the home of childhood.
You figure it out, and ask yourself if you don't have those feelings too. If you don't frankly I feel sorry for you.
