Yehuda Glick

“We all agree on so much more than what divides us. If we vote on policies as opposed to ideologies, we will find we can unite around these principles,” said David Fine, founder of the Anglo-Vision.
Former MK Yehuda Glick, who spent years as an activist for one of the most politically sensitive sites in the world, says that the presidency should not be political. What Israel needs, he thinks, is a president who can talk to everyone and bring the people together.
He was beaten and thrown down the stairs last week when he tried to pay his respects to the family of Iyad Halak, who was mistakenly killed by police.
The former Likud Party Knesset member tells JNS that the incident epitomizes the fact that non-Muslims are discriminated against at the holy site in Jerusalem.
A wide-reaching ban on the advertising of cigarettes, cigars, hookah products, rolling papers, e-cigarettes and non-tobacco herbal smokeables was passed in a landslide vote in the Knesset.
