I wish I could find the picture I once posted years ago, of Israeli policemen dragging a Jewish woman off the Temple Mount, with a policeman's hand clamped over her mouth. Her crime? Soundlessly whispering Tehillim on the Temple Mount.
I wonder what additional by-laws Dichter has in store for us? Can one shukel? Place your hand over your eyes as if saying Shma? Can you hold your hand over your mouth and move your lips so it's not seen by the Israeli prayer police and Moslem Waqf?
