"The timing seems too coincidental for the ‘riots’ around the AlAqsa Mosque to be the fault of the Palestinians. The ‘Second Intifada’ started nine years ago, almost to the day, when Palestinians were provoked by a visit by Ariel Sharon to the same area. Again, the Palestinians have been pushed too far to remain silent…. it is not only their nationhood that is at stake this time, it’s their very lives. Israel has chosen this period to finally proceed with their plan of ridding the land of every Palestinian and any trace that they ever even existed.... So, bottom line is to present to the world an image of a violent, terrorist oriented nation (Palestine) whose sole agenda is to destroy the State of Israel….. when in reality, it is the exact opposite that is the truth.

.... why Israel has sent troops into the Al Aqsa Mosque to try to kick off a new Intifada. If Israel cannot get a war with Iran to distract the world from the Goldstone Report, then Israel's plan is to provoke the Muslims into a rage in order to portray them as savages unworthy of the world's sympathy, in order to collapse the growing support for Israel's war crimes to be referred to the Hague.
If you are in Palestine and reading these words, do NOT let Israel goad you into rash actions that Israel will then use to evade their war crimes.
Just stop and think. Israel's leaders are on the verge of being called to the Hague to face war crimes charges. Even if the US succeeds in blocking that, Israel's public image of helpless victim fighting for its existence is gone. Please do not hand it back to them on a silver platter with any rash actions.
Israel was hoping to distract the world from the Goldstone Report with a war on Iran. That appears to have collapsed with Iran's impending deal to allow Russia to refine their medical radioisotopes. So Israel stands naked before the world for their war crimes without so much as a fig leaf to hide behind. That is why they have attacked Al Aqsa. They are trying to provoke a new Intifada, and if they get it, the obedient media will use it to portray the Palestinians as a violent and unruly mob unworthy of any sympathy and world public support to send Israel to the Hague will collapse. The longer Palestinians refuse to be provoked, the worse Israel will look. Think Gandhi and the British. The British wanted the world to see the Indians as a primitive and barbarous people that "needed" British control. Gandhi and his supporters refused to be baited, and simply let Britain burn its own public image of "benevolent tyrant" out.
Israel's standing in the world has taken a major beating in the last year. They have been damaged far more than you may yet realize. The incursion into Al Aqsa is an act of desperation which if it is NOT responded to only makes Israel look more like a bully. In the end, Al Aqsa is just a building. God lives in your heart, in your head, and in your hands. Violence might save the building, but bring about the total war by Christians on Islam that Israel so badly needs right now." -- Wake the Flock Up

Clashes ignite over al-Aqsa mosque - 25 Oct 09

"Israelis, Palestinians clash at Islamic holy site; Rioting draws criticism from Arab League" by Richard Boudreaux, Los Angeles Times | October 26, 2009

JERUSALEM - Israeli police stormed the grounds of Al- Aqsa mosque yesterday, using clubs and stun grenades to subdue hundreds of stone-throwing Palestinians in the worst clashes in a month of unrest in and around Jerusalem’s Old City.
The rioting, which caused no fatalities and subsided after a few hours, did not appear to portend a large-scale Palestinian uprising. But it sprang from rising tensions stoked by Jewish and Islamic extremists that could keep Jerusalem and its contested holy sites on edge for weeks to come. It is also expected to keep Israel on the defensive against international criticism like the sharp protests registered yesterday by Egypt, Jordan, and the 22-member Arab League over what their officials called Israeli provocations at Islam’s third-holiest shrine. The black-domed mosque is enclosed in a compound revered by Jews as the Temple Mount and by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.

So that is ANOTHER ISRAELI LIE, huh?
Israel denied starting the trouble. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said police on routine early morning patrol came under attack by about 50 Muslim protesters. The group had been summoned by Islamic political and religious leaders to protect the compound against what they said was a planned demonstration by religious Jews.
Is there ANYONE who actually believes ANYTHING Israel says anymore?
Dozens of police reinforcements rushed in behind plastic shields, many of them slipping on oil poured by protesters over the stone pathways of the esplanade.
:-)
The protesters fought back with rocks, plastic chairs, and a firebomb before retreating into the mosque. The disorders did not disturb Jewish prayers at the Western Wall, at the foot of the compound.
Oh, well, then everything is all right.
But they spilled into the surrounding alleyways of the Old City and adjacent Arab neighborhoods, where clusters of young Palestinian men threw rocks and bottles from street level and from rooftops.
So why does Israel need the WMD and jet bombers?
A second clash outside the mosque occurred in mid-morning as larger groups of police and protesters converged. Dozens of protesters holed up inside the mosque for several hours, occasionally opening the doors to throw objects at the police. Israeli forces did not enter the building and they withdrew from the compound in the afternoon. Later, the protesters left the mosque and the compound was closed.
Nineteen Palestinians, most of them beaten with clubs, and nine police officers were reported injured. Irris Mackler, an Australian journalist reporting for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., was hospitalized with a broken jaw after she was hit by a rock outside the compound....
Of course, ISRAEL KILLS REPORTERS, but NO BIG DEAL in the Zionist AmeriKan MSM!
Religious and nationalist sentiment has long made the holy site a tinderbox. Muslims believe the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven from the compound, which is also home to the gilded Dome of the Rock shrine. Jews revere the place as the site of their first and second temples.
The compound has been under Israeli control since its capture from Jordan in the 1967 Middle East War, but it is administered by a Muslim religious trust.
Yeah, ISRAEL is DEFYING the U.N., but again, NO PROBLEM!
An agreement between Israel and the trust allows Israelis and other non-Muslim visitors but prohibits them from holding organized prayer sessions. Officials on both sides have warned that the current impasse in US-brokered talks on Palestinian statehood, which broke off last December, is raising the level of tension in the city.
And CUI BONO, 'eh?
