The headline is slanted. The Temple Mount is anything but "disputed." Jewish claims to it pre-date Islam by thousands of years.

[ml/nj]

The mosque compound is known to Jews as the Temple Mount

"Known to Jews"?

Like we made it up.

What is it known to Christians as, Mr. AP "Reporter"?

I hate the PLO Buttkissing AP!!

How about a non-prejudiced headline you evil jerks:

"Isreali Police disperse Stonethrowing Mob in the Al Aqsa Mosque compound."

[OXENinFLA]

They(IDF) Stormed the 'Dome of the Rock'!?!?!!!!!!!

[greasepaint]

The Temple Mount should be open to everyone.
(just like Disneyland)

[Slings and Arrows]

Ping!

[greenwolf]

The AlAqsa mosque is nothing but another example of the islammite penchant for building mosques overtop of everybody elses churches and synagogues. I'd pay a hundred dollars right now to watch the Israelis dismantle it to the last stone and dump the debris over the border of Saudi Arabia.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

They left their mosque peacefully. My guess is that they didn't want to have a standoff like they did at the Holy Church. It would force them to defile their mosque like they did the Church and this time there would be no priests to clean up after their excrement.

[Ethan_Allen]

'The mosque compound is known to Jews as the Temple Mount, site of biblical Jewish temples. The walled site is revered by Muslims and Jews and is one of the flashpoints in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.'

I wonder if God is laughing or crying or rejoicing? All I really know is that He is in control.

Jer 26:18 Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed [like] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest. http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Jer/26/18.html

'And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. (Mat 24:1-2)' http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Mat/24/2.html

Wailing Wall or Roman fortress?

The Wars of The Jews by 1st century Jewish historian Josephus who witnessed the fall of Jerusalem:

Book VII, Chapter 8, Section 7

Jerusalem Was Demolished to the Very Foundations

Where is this city that was believed to have God himself inhabiting therein? *It is now demolished to the very foundations, and hath nothing but that monument of it preserved, I mean **the camp of those that hath destroyed it, which still dwells upon its ruins; some unfortunate old men also lie upon the *ashes of the temple, and a few women are there preserved alive by the enemy, for our bitter shame and reproach. Now who is there that revolves these things in his mind, and yet is able to bear the sight of the sun, though he might live out of danger? Who is there so much his country's enemy, or so unmanly, and so desirous of living, as not to repent that he is still alive? And I cannot but wish that we had all died before we had seen **that holy city demolished by the hands of our enemies, or ***the foundations of our holy temple dug up after so profane a manner.
http://www.preteristarchive.com/JewishWars/jo-7-8-7.html

Book VII, Chapter I, Section 1 (Entire)
The Entire City Of Jerusalem Was Demolished, Excepting Three Towers

"....Caesar gave orders that they should now demolish the entire city and temple, but should leave as many of the towers standing as were of the greatest eminency; that is, Phasaelus, and Hippicus, and Mariamne; and so much of the wall as enclosed the city on the west side. ***This wall was spared, in order ***to afford a camp for such as were to lie in garrison, as were the towers also spared, in order to demonstrate to posterity what kind of city it was, and how well fortified, which the Roman valor had subdued; but for all the rest of the wall, it was so thoroughly laid even with the ground by those that dug it up to the foundation, that there was left nothing to make those that came thither believe it had ever been inhabited. This was the end which Jerusalem came to by the madness of those that were for innovations; a city otherwise of great magnificence, and of mighty fame among all mankind." http://www.preteristarchive.com/JewishWars/jo-7-1-1.html

"...This note will show that it is Jewish mysticism, called Kabbalah, that is responsible for claiming this wall as part of the temple that stood in Jesus Christ's day...."

"...What is known now as the wailing wall seems in all likelihood to actually be the Western Wall of an early Roman fortress (finally built and enlarged by Herod the Great). King Herod called it Fort Antonia, after the famous Mark Anthony who lived at the end of the first century before Christ." http://www.mikeblume.com/wailing.htm

'..could be interesting...'

I'll go along with that!

"...Julian favored the Jews, and commenced to REBUILD THE TEMPLE, setting 10,000 men at work to clear Mount Moriah, intending to make it a rival of Mount Calvary; but his projects failed BY SPECIAL INTERPOSITION OF GOD, the WORKMEN BEING DRIVEN FROM THE FOUNDATION by [GREAT] BALLS OF FIRE issuing therefrom and soon after, he died...."

This could be a very important event.

Unfortunately, the Israeli police do not represent a Jewish government but a secular one. If Har HaBayit is going to be returned to the Jewish People for whom G-d intended it then it won't be the Israeli government that does it.

No....THIS would be an important event:

Israeli Police Storm Disputed Holy Site

Perhaps Israel should take a cue from the Associated Press and start calling it "the occupied territories"...

The Israelis did not "storm" anything. There was a riot at the al-Aqsa complex, the Palestinian rioters stormed into the mosques (which youths are generally not allowed to enter, because of their tendency to riot), the Israelis secured the al-Aqsa complex using less lethal weapons, and they negotiated the rioters' relatively peaceful withdrawal.

The Israelis could have stormed into the two mosques, but chose not to. To "storm" something, you have to actually go inside it, completely (and not just set up some defenses along the perimeter).

This is just another example of Jew-hating reporters slandering Israel. They like to use words like "storm" because they have violent totalitarian connotations (aka "storm troopers"). No matter what happens, Israel must be made to look as bad as possible.

Also: why is it that the reporter writes "The mosque compound is known to Jews as the Temple Mount"? The reporter is effectively claiming that it is accepted by everyone that it is a mosque compound, but it is only "known to Jews as the Temple Mount." Why do Muslims get "dibs" on the Temple Mount?

[Light Speed]

You'd think that in all that running the Palestinians might discover some Olympic sprinter.

probably not....they run kinda funny...all that shoulder flinching and falling down.

Ya....you'd think they would be better at running..seeing that they have been at it vigorously for some decades now.

This is not the first time Israeli forces had to go into the place to save Jewish worshippers from being pelted by rocks and other items.
