No temple, don't actually want the temple back, because of the 
disturbing theological implications of actually having the temple, 
because actually having the temple immediately re-activates a pile of 
ancient Jewish law that today's pharisees do not want to touch with a 
ten foot pole.

If you don't genuinely want the temple back, then modern Judaism is a 
religion of exile and not a religion of Israel.  The Maccabees wanted 
the temple back.  Do you think Jonathan Maccabee would be wailing at the 
western wall?

Israel was founded by secular socialist Jews, because religious Jews 
were frightened of getting the temple back, and still are frightened of 
getting the temple back.

If you get the temple back, sixteen hundred years of excuses and 
rationalizations for phariseeism vanish, and the pharisees are back to 
being the guys who lost the war and caused the exile, while the Kohens 
are the guys who won the war with the Greeks.  The Kohens defeated a 
mighty formidable enemy, which victory looked astonishingly like a 
divine miracle, so the Pharisees thought that they would Jew God by 
provoking an even bigger war with an even more formidable enemy. And 
then destroying their own food supplies while under siege to force a 
miracle.

Did not work out as well for them as it worked out for the Kohens.

Yet they devote a thousand times as much energy, effort, and thought to 
that line about the boiling a kid in its mother's milk, than they devote 
to the final commandment.

When Jews try to wreck Christmas, is that not coveting?

When Jews demanded that they be allowed to join the golf club, was that 
not coveting?

If you had remained loyal, you would have taken the temple mount back, 
rebuilt the temple, staffed it with Kohens, and put a Kohen in the line 
of Jonathan Maccabee in charge of it.

If you had remained loyal, you would have given effect to the law of 
Deuteronomy and Proverbs, the law of Moses and Solomon, on marriage and 
the family.

If you had remained loyal, you would be entirely untroubled by other 
people celebrating Christmas.
