Former Knesset Member Yehuda Glick told a radio interview on 103FM about his arrest earlier today during a tour of the Temple Mount.

"I did a really terrible crime, lucky there is no death penalty in Israel," Glick said sarcastically, noting that "according to the police, which is also what they told me during the interrogation, I went too slowly for their liking."

Glick laughed at the discriminatory attitude of the Israeli police towards religious Jews, saying that the police harassed them more than Muslims, tourists, and non-religious Jews.

"They told me the police officer told me to go fast and I made slow progress. I am accused of this," Glick claimed. "When I was released from detention, I was informed that within a few days, the region commander would make a decision whether to keep me away forever for incitement. You know the connection between walking slowly and inciting? I don't know."

"You know that the Temple Mount is 25 times larger than the Western Wall, and when you walk slowly you don't disturb any of the hundreds and thousands of people who were on the Temple Mount, tourists from all over the world. When the district chief came and saw me in handcuffs, he yelled at the cops and said 'what are you doing?! Get the cuffs off of him!' and said I wasn't arrested, only detained," Glick added.

"There is a district commander here who takes us back a few decades and unfortunately the last time the police incitement led to my assassination attempt in my life. I really hope this discrimination on the Temple Mount stops."

Asked if he accuses the police of declaring open season on him, Glick replied, "I blame the district commander Doron Yadid who in the past, as a more junior police officer, harassed me on the Temple Mount, and today he is a district commander and replaced Yoram Halevi who revolutionized time on the Temple Mount. For his conduct in the past where he sees the religious Jews who ascend to the Temple Mount enemies and annoyance that should be pushed aside and thrown away as quickly as possible from the Mount. This is something that needs to be stopped." Read more at Arutz-7
