- Abbas and the
Palestinian leadership are clearly trying to drag Israel into
a religious conflict with all Muslims, not only Palestinians.
The Temple Mount has become their favorite platform for
disseminating blood libels....
- If anyone is
defiling the sanctity of the holy site, it is Abbas and his
representatives in the West Bank.
- Were Israel to stop
a Palestinian from entering a holy site because of his
clothing, the foreign reporters based in Jerusalem and Tel
Aviv would have rushed to the scene to interview the man and
tell the world that Israel is violating freedom of worship.
This is yet another example of how the media gives the
Palestinians a pass and allows them to continue their vicious
incitement against Israel.

lies and blood libels is barely noticed by the mainstream media in

Palestinians are continuing to use the Temple Mount,
in Arabic known as the Haram al-Sharif, in Jerusalem, as a platform
for incitement against Israel in general and Jews in particular.
This incitement, which began after Jewish tourists
were permitted to resume their visits to the holy site in 2014, has
since taken various forms. The Jewish visits to the holy site had
been suspended for several years during the Second Intifada
uprising, which erupted in September 2000.
Since 2014, the Palestinian Authority leadership,
including President Mahmoud Abbas, have been waging an
unprecedented wave of incitement against Israel and Jews to protest
visits to the Temple Mount.
In 2015, Abbas announced that the Palestinians
"won't allow Jews with their filthy feet to defile our Al-Aqsa
Mosque."
