Young boy arrested for demanding to be allowed to go up to the Temple Mount, on Monday, June 25 2015.

After 2 hours of being forced to wait, as hundred of non-Jewish tourists walked past them and were granted access to tour the Temple Mount, one young Jewish boy had enough of the Israeli police’s discrimination against religious Jews and launched a spontaneous, one-boy, non-violent, civil disobedience protest.

The boy single-handedly closed the entrance to EVERYONE, demanding that religious Jewish visitors, who were forced to wait outside for 2 hours, as everyone else passed them by, be allowed to go up to the Temple Mount too.

Joining his protest was an even younger boy.

The boy made cogent arguments and the police were clearly out-numbered by the young civil rights protester and his friend.

The police arrested them.

After the arrest, Shlomo Walfish, who filmed the video, explained in English to the watching tourists what the boy was saying and about this illegal discrimination by the police.

I see a bright future for this boy as a community organizer and civil rights activist.

And if more young Jews are willing to demand and protest for it, the state and the police will be forced to end their discrimination against religious Jews going up to the Temple Mount.
