Palestinian Rioters Are Desecrating Islamic Holy Sites

(Gatestone Institute) Bassam Tawil - Mahmoud Abbas and other senior Palestinian figures have been issuing daily threats against Israel in response to perfectly peaceful visits by Jews to the Temple Mount. Palestinian leaders in the West Bank would like to see rioting in the streets of Jerusalem so they can hold Israel responsible for cracking down on "innocent" Palestinians participating in "popular resistance." If anyone is desecrating Islamic holy sites, it is those who bring explosives, stones and firebombs into Al-Aqsa Mosque in the first place. For the past few months, dozens of Palestinian youths have used the mosque as a launching pad for attacking Jewish visitors and policemen on the Temple Mount. The images of masked youths inside Al-Aqsa Mosque collecting stones for attacking Jews reveal the true intentions of the rioters: to harm Jewish visitors and policemen who have no plans to enter the mosque [see article for photos]. Palestinian leaders do not tell the world that they are the ones inciting these young men to take to the streets and attack the first Jew they run into.
