Of course they fucking are. They've repeatedly forced their own entrance into Al Aqsa, and denied Muslim access to it, in the past. In fact, the last time I heard of Al Aqsa violations was during Sukkot last fall, when hundreds of Israeli settlers - [which I suppose we should really start calling "violent illegal immigrants"] repeatedly stormed the third-holiest site in Islam, during the week-long Jewish festival, and were protected by Israeli forces.
Yeah, they pretty much are constantly disrupting gatherings at Al Aqsa. Wasn't that long ago they went in with flashbangs and were beating old men and women with batons to drive them out.
All because some kids in the area threw rocks at the IDF.
Claim they want to improve their citizen's safety, but do everything in their power to make enemies at every turn. Real smart of them. How can none of these morons in their government think "let's not antagonise everyone around us"? Any 10 year old is smart enough to do better.
Three Israeli hostages, shirtless and waving a white flag, cried out to IDF forces in Hebrew. They thought they were saved but they were shot dead by their own "defense force" on 15 December. Alon Shamriz, 26, Yotam Haim, 28, and Samer Talalka, 24
The article couldn't figure out what is actually al-Aqsa mosque.
The mosque in this picture is the Dome of the Rock mosque. Al-Asqa Mosque is on the other side of the plaza, behind the photographer's back!
