Yehuda Glick, the Temple Mount activist who was badly wounded when he was shot after exiting a conference in Jerusalem, has received an invitation to be a contestant on “Big Brother VIP,” Glick writes on his Facebook page.

“Let me think about it, I need to consult my wife and my friends,” Glick writes of his response to the Big Brother producer who called him with the offer.
After reading many readers’ comments, Glick posts: “I am happy that activity for the Temple Mount makes one a VIP. My only consideration is advancing awareness of the Temple Mount and sanctifying God’s name.
“I will participate in anything that will contribute to this,” he continues, “and steer clear of anything that would hurt this cause.”
Glick was hit with several bullets shot from a close range after he left a conference held at the Begin Center in Jerusalem on October 29. The shooter, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad activist who lived in a Jerusalem neighborhood and worked at a restaurant inside the Begin Center, was killed when he opened fire on police officers who came to arrest him the day after the shooting.
