From the Palestinian Authority’s official Wafa news agency:
Israeli police watched without intervening as a group of fanatic Jews held prayers on Thursday inside Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif compound in Jerusalem’s Old City during visit hours breaking standing rules and provoking Muslim worshippers, according to Muslim Waqf (endowment) officials.
They said the number of extremists visiting Al-Aqsa has increased as Jewish holidays approach and calls on fanatics to be present at the Muslim holy site in larger numbers.
The standing rules say that non-Muslims can visit the site during regular visit hours but are not allowed to perform any religious ritual.
While Israeli police, who accompany the extremists on their tours, have previously prevented breaking the law on this matter, they recently have become lax in implementing them.
Waqf officials said the police did not intervene when the fanatic Jews started to pray, but rather forced the Muslim security guards of the Mosque to keep away from the extremist Jews and not to interfere in their prayers.
The Fatah Facebook page has video:
Wafa in Arabic has more, saying that the Jews were all “settlers” and that they “attacked” Muslims.
Even Jews taking pictures is considered a crime to the PA, as the article says that “The ultra-Orthodox rabbi Yehuda Glick led the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque yesterday and led silent Talmudic rituals, and took provocative commemorative pictures off the Dome of the Rock mosque.”
The video above shows the “fanatics” and what they would do if allowed to pray. It doesn’t bother anyone except Jew-haters who are looking to be offended.
It is important to point out that the official Wafa news agency, by calling any Jew who prays a “fanatic” and an “extremist,” is antisemitic.
Recently the Israel Supreme Court decided it would listen to a petition to officially allow Jews to pray on the Temple Mount, drawing a strong condemnation from Jordan, which falsely claims that such a move would violate the peace agreement between Israel and Jordan.
