Hundreds of Jews came to the Temple Mount Monday in honor of Tisha BAv, the anniversary of the destruction of the two Jewish Temples by the Babylonian and Roman empires respectively.
But their visit was cut short as Muslim worshipers physically blocked them and appeared to be preparing a riot.
The Temple Mount is Judaisms holiest site, where the two holy Temples once stood before being destroyed by the Babylonian and Roman empires respectively. This Tuesday marks the anniversary of the destruction of both temples (which occurred on the same day in the Hebrew calendarthe 9th of Av).
Despite its supreme importance to Jews worldwide, Jews are subject to draconian limitations on the Mount, including a ban on praying, due to the presence of an Islamic complex, administered by the Waqf Islamic Trust, and threats by Islamist groups. The Israeli police are able to bypass court decisions upholding the Jewish right to prayer there by citing unspecified security concerns, either to ban individual activists or even to issue blanket prohibitions on Jews ascending at all.

These guys just need to get some “Coexist” bumper stickers and I’m sure that everything will be fine.
Sim[le, destroy the Muslim facility like the Romans and the Babylonians did to the Temples. Apparently no one had a problem with that.
perfect...LOL
Just how long is Israel going to put up with this krap?
Worst mistake Moshe Dayan ever made was to give the Temple Mount to the very same people who were already preaching to kill the Jews and Christians for at least 30 years (and who were in alliance with Hitler in WW2).
One of these days...the end will begin here!
As will the new beginning.

I was on the Temple Mount with our tour group. One of our tour had a prayer shawl, which was taken from him before we went up. We were told not to pray, and to watch what we said. we were not allowed in the mosque or the dome of the rock. I said a prayer silently.
We were told that a Christian woman was spotted standing in the same place for a long time, and they guessed that she was praying silently, so they ejected her.
And still the muslims hate the Jews and Israel. It goes to show that Churchill was right about appeasement. It’s feeding the crocodile, hoping that he eats you last.
The muslims are going to regret this!
cut short as Muslim worshipers physically blocked them and appeared to be preparing a riot.....”
destroy the Muslim facility like the Romans and the Babylonians did ...(brilliant).”
