Related: About this forumJewish Home MK calls for a Third Temple in Jerusalem
Zevulun Orlev advocates a Basic Law to protect project from prosecution and hostile, left-wing, secular media<snip>
"MK Zevulun Orlev of the Jewish Home party has called for massive reforms, including new Basic Laws, in order to establish a Third Temple in Jerusalem.
In an article (PDF) published in advance of the fast of Tisha BAv in the weekly Hebrew journal Olam Katan, entitled Internal and Legislative Reform, Orlev wrote that the Temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem and that fundamental changes to Israeli society and government were necessary in order to realize the success of the project.
Besides spiritual reform and the creation of a cadre of religious experts capable of running the Temple, Orlev argued that the government assuming the government will choose to be democratic must turn back dissent surrounding the project."
<snip>
"Orlev acknowledged that to remove the religious and political impediment to his plan, namely the presence of the al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock atop the Temple Mount, would mean that the billion-strong Muslim world would surely launch a world war. However, he added, everything political is temporary and there is no stability, and Of late were witnessed dramatic political changed that have occurred in many Arab countries.
Orlev recently advocated a bill to bypass the High Court of Justice and protect illegally constructed buildings in the Beit El neighborhood of Givat Ulpana that was struck down by the Knesset in June."

For one thing, it needs to be completely red - no other hairs at all (or maybe a maximum of three nonred hairs, I forget)

I've never seen a purple cow.
I'm hoping not to see one.
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one!

This MK is nuts enough that he probably sees purple cows everywhere!
