Israeli security officials said on Wednesday evening that they would ultimately have to force their way into al-Aqsa mosque, atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City, because hundreds of young Palestinian men are now routinely stockpiling large quantities of rocks and slabs of stone there to attack security forces.
The unnamed officials, quoted by Israel’s Channel 2 news, were speaking hours after dozens of Palestinian protesters and an Israeli policeman were wounded on the Mount when clashes broke out soon after the holy site was opened to Jewish visitors on Wednesday morning.

The officials were quoted saying that, sooner or later, there would be “no choice but to storm” the mosque. At the same time, they acknowledged that this is precisely what the Palestinian protesters hope will happen, since the sight of armed Israeli security personnel forcing their way into the third holiest site in Islam could prompt a surge in anti-Israeli protests throughout the Arab world.

Jordan, which under its 1994 peace treaty with Israel is the custodian of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem, on Wednesday urged the UN Security Council to end Israeli “escalation” at the site.

If they’d shoot the rock throwers, that would fix the problem...
Jesus doesn’t drive a bulldozer!
Just remove the mosque and be done with it.
“If they’d shoot the rock throwers, that would fix the problem...”
As insane as it sounds, that is probably the rock-thrower’s goal. The MSM is spring-loaded to condemn Israel. There are probably UN resolutions already drafted and waiting. Israel has a PR problem. They also have their own lunatic left which is disproportionately larger than that of the US and Europe. Remember, they started as a communist country. What they really need is the most brilliant and well funded marketing program of all time. But the headwinds against them are like a tornado.

The religion of peace doing what it does in it's Holy places. Kerry must be on edge, though I think it's doubtful Israel might disarm the terrorists. Unhelpful to the peace process. If the Muslim terrorist want to throw rocks at Jews and tourists visiting the Western Wall, they should be allowed after all.
Knock down that al-Askin-for-it mosque.
Maybe they are repairing the foundation... in a peaceful kind of way.
OK, so don't give them pics of that.
Instead, have a small quad-rotor UAV go up to the mosque's window, and spray some intolerably foul-smelling substance inside.
With all these muzzie rock throwers, how is it we’ve never had a pitcher in MLB from the ME?
They throw a mean fastball, but never got up to speed with the curve.
Send in the BLM! Or better, send in Bundy’s Army.
Love it! World War III will be fought with stink bombs.
The world is infected with these inbred, pedophile-worshipping misogynists (aka mozlums).
This shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Muslims are notorious for stockpiling munitions in schools, mosques, and hospitals.
I thought they were for dropping on worshipers at the Kotel, or is that just for fun?
The clowns throwing the rocks are doing so in hopes of injuring or killing Israelis. Killing them is simply self defense. It also sets an expectation that makes further instances of this less likely.
And it isn’t like the world will hate Israel more...
