Palestinians, metal detectors and balderdash

Palestinians protesting metal detectors
days after they were removed

Israel has been under great pressure to remove the metal detectors and cameras they installed at the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem after three terrorists went on a jihad-spree earlier in July that killed two Israeli Druze police  officers. 

The weapons used by the Arab-Israeli terrorists were hidden inside the mosque. The Palestinian Authority (PA) called on Muslims to boycott the site and launch "days of rage" against the Jewish state.

But  nevertheless, after pressure from the Muslim world and international community, Israel removed the bomb, knife and firearm detecting devices and cameras in yet another attempt to appease "the unappeasable" Palestinians. 

The Palestinians claimed the metal detectors were a "desecration" of the mosque, which is located on the holiest site in the Jewish religion and only the third holiest for Muslims.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan denounced Israel and called on Muslims to "protect" Jerusalem, as if they were there before the Jews. 

And even after the metal detectors were removed days before, Palestinians continued to protest Israel's installation of metal detectors at the entrance to the Temple Mount, the Jewish holy site. 

They just needed a reason to protest the existence of the Jews.

One Palestinian teenager posted on his Facebook page his intention to become a "martyr," just before he entered the home of a Jewish family in the West Bank. He slaughtered three household members and the kid was wounded and sent to an Israeli hospital to be treated for his wounds. 

While the teen received treatment, the PA celebrated his attack and put into motion the mechanism to set him up with a monthly salary of over $3,000 for his attempt to become a "martyr" through murdering Jews.

On July 23, a terrorist in Jordan, the country with religious custodianship over the Temple Mount through the Islamic Waqf, attacked an Israeli security guard at the Israeli embassy compound in Amman.

The guard shot him in self-defense but caught another Jordanian in the crossfire.

In a deal between Israel and Jordan, the guard and other embassy staff who had been placed in custody, were released in exchange for a promise to remove the metal detectors at the Temple Mount.

But let's get serious. The metal detectors had nothing to do with why PA President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction and Hamassholes pissed off fellow Muslims. 

The truth is, the detectors were installed to protect everyone entering the holy site, where only Muslims are allowed to pray, while Christians and Jews may only visit under strict surveillance.

The real reason for the relentless incitement against Jews--this time over the use of metal detectors--is merely an excuse to claim that Israel is attempting to change the "status quo" on the Temple Mount, and that it disgraces Islam and hurts the Palestinians whom the world wants to defend against "evil Israel" (aka Jews).

Metal detectors have been installed at prominent mosques all over the Middle East along with more than 5,000 surveillance cameras, not to mention over 100,000 security personnel! They monitor pilgrims going to Mecca in Saudi Arabia during Hajj. 

Even at Jerusalem's Western Wall, another Jewish holy site, people must pass through metal detectors before entering the plaza--but this is taken for granted and the PA doesn't complain (or hasn't yet).

The PA simply uses low-information Palestinian folks as pawns for their bigger agenda, which is to obliterate Israel through delegitimization.

PA says "We don't want no metal detectors"

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas predictably waited for an excuse to end security cooperation with Israel. When the Jewish State refused to remove metal detectors at the entrance of the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, put there in reaction to ongoing Islamic violence, Abbas withdrew his cooperation.

Three Israelis were murdered by a Palestinian last weekend in a West Bank settlement. This predictably led to violent Palestinian protests which resulted in four Palestinians being killed by Israeli forces.

The Muslim terrorist, Omar al-Abed, wrote on his Facebook page before the attack that he wanted to "die for al-Aqsa." If that isn't Islamic, nothing is.

Abbas said that his decision to end coordination with Israel was done to force the Israelis to remove the gates, just in case a jihadi needs to get to work, (if you know what I mean). He also wants to stop the Israeli army from entering cities in the West Bank, supposedly under Palestinian control, when pursuing terrorists of Palestinian lineage.

Israel said it isn't removing the metal detectors--two police officers were killed earlier this month by Israeli-Arab gunmen belonging to the Religion of Peace.

Israel security believe that coordination is vital to reducing the violence that broke out late 2015. But the cooperation is deeply unpopular with the many anti-Semitic Palestinians who see it as a form of collaboration with the Jews that serve only their interest of not being slaughtered.

Muslim authorities have called on Allah worshippers to boycott the mosque until the Israelis take away the new gates and allow various metal objects in. "Allah can wait," is the slogan on lapel buttons being sold to gullible worshippers near the mosque.

Violent outbreaks continued on Saturday night after police broke up protests in Jerusalem.

The Palestinian ministry of health (they don't have a ministry for mental health) said one protester was shot and killed Saturday evening. They didn't mention that he was threatening the lives of Israeli security forces because that's considered 'bad press.'

In a statement released Sunday morning, Islamic authorities in Jerusalem rejected the use of perspicacious security measures that might save the lives of Muslims and Jews at the holy sites. "Let it be their fate," an Islamic authority spokes-jihadist said.

"Whatever Allah wants, Allah gets," said the Islamic authority who wishes to remain anonymous because he isn't authorized to speak for Allah.

Messages on the Palestinian social media dating site "Beneath the Burka" have been circulating, calling for the boycott of Allah at the al-Aqsa mosque to continue.

Israeli security officials were due to meet Sunday to discuss possible alternatives to the metal detectors. They are considering asking those entering the mosque: "Did you pack that vest you're wearing yourself?"

Muslim leaders protest bomb detection devices at recent terrorist locationin Israel

Jerusalem, Israel -- "How do you expect us to wage jihad if you're going to check us for metallic objects at Al Aqsa Mosque?" holy leader Adnan Husseini (no relation to Hussein Obama).

Islamic leaders called on fellow Muslims to boycott the Al Aqsa Mosque which lies at the heart of the Israeli-Palestine conflict. The leaders are upset that they're being checked with metal detectors at the entrance gates "just because of a little Arab attack last week that killed a handful of Jews."

Husseini, the Palestinian Minister of Jerusalem, said that arrangements at the Muslim-administered holy site need to go back to normal like they were before last week's attack in which 3 Arab Israelis shot dead 2 police officers before they were killed.

For the first time in decades, Israel closed the site, making it virtually impossible to kill any more Jews at the Temple Mount.

Israel reopened the compound to Muslims on Sunday but imposed realistic security measures, which includes metal (aka bomb and firearm) detectors at the entrance gates as well as additional security cameras.

The Waqf, Jordan's Islamic authority that manages religious affairs at the site, were outraged over the security measures being taken to protect worshipers and the Jews that protect them. 

Dozens of Muslims obnoxiously prayed on the streets near the gate after refusing to enter via the death instruments detectors. Of course, fights broke out between Muslims who were attempting to stop others from using the gates.

Israeli police said that despite tensions, hundreds of worshippers had entered the compound.

The wacky Waqf and other Islamists issued a statement Monday calling on Muslims "to reject and boycott all the Israeli aggression measures, including changing the historical status quo including metal detectors."

Aggression measures? Notice how, like Antifa, this group who actually does the aggressing calls the victims of the aggression the aggressors.

They called on the faithful "not to deal with it at all and not to enter the mosque through it all." That is, Allah can wait as far as they're concerned. The statement added that "if the metal detectors continue to be imposed, we call upon the people to pray in front of the gates of the mosque and in the streets of Jerusalem."

Because they're self-proclaimed victims, which is a great strategy that works well with liberals who always believe the aggressors rather than the victims.

The compound is holy to both Jews and Muslims and has always been a central and emotional issue between Israeli and Palestinian narratives. Even a microscopic change can spark Islamic outrage, like one of the wives reheating leftovers.

Jordan called for its immediate reopening and there were protests in the streets against Israel because there were no sports on TV. 

Israel didn't coordinate the changes with Jordan and anything installed at the site must be approved by the Waqf, or Muslim administration. 

But maybe, just maybe, Israeli Jews don't want to allow anyone to kill them or Muslims praying at the mosque.
