Jewish settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque with police protection

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/middle-east/21243-jewish-settlers-storm-al-aqsa-mosque-with-police-protection

Dozens of Jewish settlers stormed into Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday morning under Israeli police protection. Officers prevented Palestinian Muslim worshippers from entering the sanctuary.

A mosque guard told Turkey’s Anadolu news agency that the Israeli police allowed the settlers to enter the mosque and have prevented Palestinians under the age of 40 from entering since Monday evening. The guard pointed out that dozens of Muslims were forced to perform the dawn prayers outside the mosque gates.

The Media Centre for Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Affairs claimed that as many as 173 Jewish settlers were involved in storming into Al-Aqsa on Tuesday.

Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Simari said that officers imposed restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshippers to the mosque on the pretext that “some young Arabs intend to commit acts of disorder in the mosque.”



If you keep on playing with fire sooner or later you will get burned.

Well, ober, if the yehuda glick zionists would refrain from flash-mob-praying at the Al Asqua mount, and pray like civilized Israelis at the Kotel, then we wouldn't have this continuing problem.

The problem, as you well know ober, is that right wing Israelis have co-opted zionism, and the byproduct is something dubious.

knows no bounds. And lying too boot, because if it were only to keep order, why the fuck were settlers involved.

15. Why is a bunch of Jewish people praying at a sacred Jewish site so offensive to you?

This reaction confuses me.

Literally all they were trying to do was stand there and pray.

This makes you sick?

5. It is all part of the Israeli campaign of provocation.

While the world is looking elsewhere, the Israelis want to goad the Palestinians into a violent reaction. Then they'll have the pretext to annex more land and make the Palestinians lives even more miserable, under the guise of "self defense".

16. It should not be considered "provocative" for Jewish people to stand around and pray

And a bunch of BS.

Here is a video taken by a Muslim on the Temple Mount of those dastardly Jews, erm, I mean settlers, "storming" (LOL!) the Mosque.



Honestly, you call that storming??? A group of about 10-15 men ambling on the Mount, with an Arab child hopping around in the foreground clearly unafraid??.

Not to mention not a glimpse of a priestly garment.

By the way, what the hell IS a "priestly garment"?? Those Jewish visitors weren't even wearing a tallit (prayer shawl) let alone such a garment, which, by the way, does not exist and has not existed for ... oh... let me think... around 2,000 years give or take a decade.

Another question - how on earth does the writer know that these are "settlers" and not simply Jews from anywhere on earth? Did he look at their ID cards to see where they live? Maybe they come from Tel Aviv? Or Haifa? Or even New York?

A typically loaded biased antisemitic piece of shlock. No surprise there, given the source.

Please refute anything in the video I posted. Please prove that it's not genuine, or that it does not contradict the OP.
