Israel Police force quickly enter the Temple Mount compound after Arab Muslims began throwing stones at the Jewish visitors.

By Kochava Rozenbaum

 

Police forces were dispatched on Wednesday to break up Muslim stone throwers who were targeting Jewish visitors on the Temple Mount (Har Habayit).

As soon as stones were thrown and riots broke out, police forces stepped in to make arrests.

Security forces were prepared for a riot as this incident follows renewed incitement by Islamic Movement leader Sheikh Raed Salah, who called for Muslims to physically prevent Jews from visiting the Temple Mount last week.

Yesterday, the leader of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel was arrested on charges of “incitement against Israel and regarding the Temple Mount,” and is currently being questioned by police. Continue Reading »

By Israel Today Staff

 

A conference promoting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel was held in Bethlehem over the weekend. But instead of making Israel look bad, the gathering demonstrated precisely why it is the Palestinian Authority from which average Palestinians have the most to fear.

Once again, Israel Police barred Jews from ascending onto the Temple Mount after Muslim groups threaten more violence over a planned visit by Jewish children.

By David Lev

 

 

Police barred Jews from entering the Temple Mount on Thursday, after Muslim groups threatened violence in the wake of a plan to bring Jewish children to visit the site. The plan, organized by groups encouraging Jewish visits to the Mount, was meant to be an educational program that would demonstrate rituals associated with the Temple, such as the bringing of bikurim (“First Fruits”, the gift to the Temple brought on Shavuot).

Israeli Doctor risked his life for Palestinian rock-throwing rioter

Dr. Shamir’s heroic effort to save a wounded Palestinian assailant was not mentioned by any foreign media outlets.

But one story being touted in the Hebrew press demonstrates that Israel has no such lust for violence, and in general adheres rather well to Yeshua’s admonition to “love thy enemy.” Continue Reading »
