Large police force surprises Muslim rioters who tried unsuccessfully to prevent them from locking them in Al Aqsa.
The Jerusalem Police stormed the Temple Mount Monday morning and locked Arab rioters inside the Al Aqsa Mosque.
The police had gathered intelligence about Arab youths who had spent the night at the Temple Mount compound. The youths had collected rocks and fireworks and prepared firebombs, which they stored inside the Al Aqsa Mosque in order to use them against police and interfere with non-Muslim visits to the Mount.
In addition, they created obstacles to prevent the closing of the last open door into Al Aqsa. These included shoe cabinets that were nailed onto the mosque doors, iron bars, wooden planks and a barbed wire fence, also connected to the doors to prevent them from closing.
They also created obstacles from wood and netting, to hide behind as they threw rocks and fireworks.
These actions indicated the youths’ intention to prevent police from locking the door by attacking them with rocks, fireworks and firebombs while hiding behind the shelters.
Immediately after the morning prayer, several Muslims were seen strenghtening the obstacles at the entrance to the mosque, their faces covered.
A large police force under District Commander Yossi Parienti entered the compound and surprised the youths, who entered the Al Aqsa mosque, hid behind their shelters and began throwing their improvised weapons at police. The police force fought them off and succeeded within a short time in removing the obstacles and closing the mosque’s doors on the rioters.
The Temple Mount was scheduled to be open to visitors at 7:30 a.m., as planned.
Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, the rabbi of the Kotel (Western Wall) and Holy Sites, decried the Arab attempts to wreck the week-long Sukkot holiday by launching violent riots against police and Jewish visitors on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism.
Speaking to Arutz Sheva, the rabbi argued that the Arab rioters are intentionally trying to prevent Jews from reaching the site on Sukkot, one of the three Jewish pilgrimage holidays that in ancient times required Jews to travel to the Temple in Jerusalem.
“The Arab leadership’s feigned ignorance in the face of these acts of violence by young rioters is shocking,” said Rabbi Rabinowitz. “How can they deny the reality that the Temple Mount and the (Al-Aqsa) mosque has been turned into a terror base?”

I was out and about this morning and this song came on the radio. It reminds me of you.

@ bernard ross:
I am currently reading feiglin’s book ‘where there are no men’
I find it to be totally captivating and I cannot help but think why isn’t this man any further than where he is today… But I digress…
He writes (rough translation p. 35)
“The public had a hard time digesting the significance of the [oslo] agreement, and tended to believe that those that made it, calculated their steps wisely. “Certainly they know things that did not reach to the public”, thus said to himself the average citizen, since it would be impossible that Rabin decided to commit suicide – finally the yearned peace will come”
A little later, he mentions a book written by Uri Milshtein “the Rabin file” (I must get it … But once again, I digress… 🙂 ) and this book, totally destroys the myth of ‘Rabin Mr. Security, and Rabin the great military leader’….this was the engine of the Labor party in order to arrive to power. (Helped also by our ‘staunchest ally’…)
The point I am trying to make, in my simplistic thinking, is that if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck…. it is a duck!
As crazy as it sounds, barry chamish ‘s points seem to check out one after another.
And we are back to square one, as in : ok, wonderful. So NOW, what are we supposed to do with all this????? Or to quote from your previous post:
I don’t know mr. Ross, ….
Elections? Yagattabekiddin’….
coup d’état ? the late rabbi kahane was talking about ‘the state of Judea’ (flag, stamps coins etc)…
Maybe the answer in more ways than one is :
@ the phoenix:
further to my last post
the sentence in bold in my view tells a big story: think of the negative ramifications and pressures that a final agreement would put on Pal leadership. Can they take in the pal refugees into their existent areas without chaos, I believe they want to avoid that scenario at all costs. This is the only situation that makes me think that there might be a shred of fact to the mooted sinai land grant. I believe there was even a related story when Mursi was in charge.

I agree, and therefore I spend less time proselytizing my views which most here already know. The reality appears to contradict what I would like to see and my desires appear unrealistic for the foreseeable future. My interest these days is more towards trying to figure out what is really going on as it appears that what is definitely NOT going on is what we are overtly told by media and institutions. I then analyze what I think may be going on, look for ensuing facts which corroborate or reject my analysis and analyze the decisions made in the light of what is really happening. EG I evaluated BB’s decision NOt to go into Gaza on the basis of the reality that Gaza will NOT be kept by Israel and the likelihood, either by agreement of defacto, that gaza would be taken over by fatah/abbas after Israel deposed hamas. I maintain that there have been understandings with the GCC, that Qatar is acting covertly for the GCC wrt Hamas and that BB takes into account or has agreed with these understandings so far. That if there are any understandings with the GCC/pals, re YS, it will evolve covertly without overt overall agreements but by seemingly independent steps. I speculate that the GCC will allow more to Israel but under the table as it is impossible for any arab leader to make an overt overall agreement at this time that Israel would accept. An example of my conclusions is as follows note my quotes from the article and see how they validate my position regarding understandings :
@ bernard ross:
As you know, I was voicing the very same questions in past threads.
I don’t think that we share different views. It seems that, in spite of foot stomping and loud screaming on the part of all the well intentioned nationalistic Jews (and I dare include you and I, and many others, in the very same camp), the scales are already tipped towards one direction and it is NOT the one we wish for… 🙁
As much as I don’t like it, I must agree with your conclusion.
I had an Israeli friend visit me about a month ago, and inevitably we started to talk about “the situation”. For him, (he lives in tel aviv) keeping y&s is waaaay down the list of priorities, he does not understand what for, and assured me, he represents many others that share the same thinking.
Perhaps on the larger scale of things, the time is not yet right …
Who knows?

I figure that something is better than nothing. this is an accomplishable goal that has already occurred in small doses. whenever the Mount is closed to them there are no riots on the Mount. No muslims, no riots. this simple idea does not even require a political position to comprehend.
the phoenix Said:
Not as tit for tat but simply removing those who cause the problem.
the phoenix Said:
Can nothing be done until everything changes?
the phoenix Said:
And how will you accomplish this “Jewish leadership”? Will it be by elections, by coup d’etat, by act of G_D? Is that more likely to occur before barring Muslims from the Mount in the foreseeable future?
And WHO is this “Jewish Leadership”?
Is it the Naturei Karta or thee\ Satmars? Is it the 700,000 who attended the Rabbi Yoseph funeral but from whom we never hear otherwise except for their own interests; who give as an excuse that Jews must not ascend the Mount but say nothing of the muslims polluting it now? Please name these “Jewish” leaders? I have heard no religious leadership calling for YS, to keep muslims off the mount or transfer.
the phoenix Said:
where is the “Jewish leader” who calls for the solution of live Ammo? Feiglin, Eldad? If they cant even close the mount to muslims are they going to shoot them down.
the phoenix Said:
If this cant take place, which is simple, why expect bigger things to happen? Its not just leadership its the Israeli citizenship; I have concluded that the majority of Israelis do NOT want to keep YS. there is not even a majority of Likud for keeping all of C. I am thinking that this “Jewish” leadership is a myth that does not exist. In the meantime, should we sleep?
@ bernard ross:
Actually I am surprised that you, mr Ross would make such a recommendation, for, to my thinking, it is NOT a solution but yet another variation to the endless and rudderless goi ‘solutions’ of tit for tat, quiet for quiet, and let’s spin it as a great victory…
We must start, like with anything else, AT THE FOUNDATION, for anything else built on top of this pathetic ‘leadership’ is bound to collapse!
Ask shmuel, our resident engineer…
A JEWISH LEADERSHIP that would talk very little but show in actions that this land is under new administration and whatever bullshit went on before, it will no longer be tolerated, in itself, will diminish to almost zero any musloid attempts to continue with their rocks, Molotov etc (it will only take a few LIVE AMO, to not the target, and they will not show such an eagerness for martyrdom…)
Do not hold your breath for even THIS (your suggestion) to take place…
Arresting Jews – yes
Permanently dealing with this Arab musloid issue – fahghettaboutit!!!
🙁
the solution is to close the mosque to the muslims for an extended period of time, or permanently if necessary, when they interfere with Jews observances.
