Last week, the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court held an in-depth discussion – two years after the event – on the seriousness of the offense committed by Temple Mount activist Tom Nisani on Hanukkah 5783 (Dec. 2022). The police indicted Nisani on “entering the checkpoint with sufganiyot,” and “after being asked to get rid of them, staying and arguing with the police. Later, he tried to pass through with stickers and a sign that were forbidden to bring into the Temple Mount.”
During the court hearing last year on December 23, 2022, following the arrest of Tom Nisani, police representative Anan Zaida claimed that “there is a rule prohibiting the bringing of doughnuts into the Temple Mount in order to prevent provocations.”
As a reminder, Beyadenu clearly pointed out that while police were bravely fighting illegal sufganiyot, a huge Hamas banner praising terrorists was unfurled on the Temple Mount. Just a deliberate slap in the face from a court that should be meting out equal justice!!
