Israel Police battling Arab rioters on Temple Mount; PA official arrested

[oberliner]

Stone-throwing Arab youths wounded three policemen on the Temple Mount on Sunday as Jerusalem police, firing water cannons and stun grenades, raided the holy site in a bid to quell repeated bouts of rioting.

Police stormed the compound twice; the first time was in response to Arab youths who pelted officers with rocks and poured oil on them.

Later Sunday morning, about 100 Arab youths renewed rioting at the Temple Mount, after which Border Police and regular policemen raided the site again, using stun grenades to disperse the rioters.

Police were attempting to completely clear the compound of worshippers. Officers arrested a total of 15 people during the disturbances.

1. There is the smell of Christian Zionists at work in here!

There have been rumours among Palestinians that Jewish extremists were planning on harming the holy site - though no such attempt has been made.

Last month, police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse 150 Palestinian protesters who had thrown rocks at non-Muslims who entered the al-Aqsa mosque compound.

Israeli police said the visitors were foreign tourists, but Palestinians said they were Jewish extremists.

I'll put my money on they being Christian Zionists, the ones that pray for Armageddon.

3. May they all go to their well-deserved Eternal Reward

and by all means, take some of the other religious quacks with you, starting with the Wahhabis and ending with the likes of John Hagee. The world will be better off without the likes of all of them.
