On Thursday, when the Rabbi ascended, he was harassed by members of the radical Islamic group Marabtat, who get paid to harass and intimidate Jews visiting the Jewish holy site.
After one Muslim extremist approached Rabbi Elitzur and cursed him with the traditional Islamic phrase “Allahu achbar”, the good rabbi responded with, “Hashem Hu HaElohim”, which in English means, “The Lord, He is God”.
Police detained the Rabbi and expelled him from the Temple Mount for disturbing the public order.
