"The matter of the Temple is not necessarily religious, and even those who are not religious can have sentiments for a house that served as a symbol of independence. The Temple was a living symbol of the nation's spirit, and in its restoration our people found the symbol of redemption"

“What our ancestors refused to tolerate from their ancient oppressors, even at the cost of their lives and freedom, is tolerated by the generation of Jews that describes itself as the last of oppression and the first of redemption. A people that does not defend its holy places - that does not even try to defend them - is not free, however much it may babble about freedom"

"It is certainly a mitzvah to enter and demonstrate Jewish presence on the Temple Mount, for there is no sin more severe than surrendering the site of the Temple and the Holy of Holies of the Jewish nation, after we merited through God's kindness to liberate it in the Six-Day War." .
