Once again Jews visiting their holiest site has angered Palestinian jihadis.

‘To Al-Aqsa we march – martyrs by the millions’
For a century the Arabs of Palestine — now known as Israeli Arabs, if behind the Green Line, and Palestinians if outside the Green Line — were whipped up by the baseless charge that “Al-Aqsa is in danger,” that Haj Amin al-Husseini was the first to exploit.

For the Palestinians, It’s Worry All The Time

Mahmoud Abbas’ Nonsense and Lies About the Temple Mount

How the Media Begins Not with Palestinian Threats, But with Israel’s Response
The Western media consistently get wrong the sequence of events in the long, and likely endless, war being waged by the Palestinians against Israel.

Arab League hosts meeting to discuss ‘Israeli actions’ that ‘threaten regional turmoil’
In January, the UN held an “emergency” Security Council session over Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir’s visit to Temple Mount, despite the fact that he never breached the status quo.
