February 24, 2018 - Different Perspective on US Congressmen’s Temple Mount Visit


I came across another article about the US congressmen’s Temple Mount visit.  It is written from a different perspective.   The article appears on an independent website called Mondoweiss, which was founded by journalist Philip Weiss in 2006, and which grew from within the progressive Jewish community.  The site claims to be a “critical resource for the movement for justice for Palestinians.”  One media fact site lists Mondoweiss as “moderately to strongly bias toward liberal causes.” 

The article was written by Weiss and is entitled “Colorado congressman’s wife encourages messianic Jews to seize Muslim holy site in Jerusalem– ‘Say, It’s ours!’.”  I have included a link to the text.
The woman is Jean Tipton, wife of Congressmen Tipton, who accompanied her husband on the tour.  If she did encourage Jews to seize the mount, this is not US policy and is not the Status Quo.
