Judaism - Jerusalem has the Western Wall (or Wailing Wall) which is a remnant of the Second Temple, and is one of the most sacred sites for Jews. They come to pray and leave notes with their prayers in the crevices of the wall.
According to Jewish tradition, it is the place where Abraham offered his son Isaac as a sacrifice and where King Solomon built the First Temple, which housed the Ark of the Covenant.
Jews worldwide pray facing Jerusalem, and the idea of returning to Jerusalem has been a central theme in Jewish prayers and identity for centuries. 2/N

Not only did BJP/RSS names figure in the Sikh genocide, they meticulously took care to actively shield their cadres involved in rioting by dropping charges against them. In fact, BJP/RSS was also at the forefront for building public sentiment for army to attack Golden Temple! 2/N
