Muslims Cause Israel to Close Temple Mount Compound

For the second time in less than two weeks, the Palestinians have acted up over the Temple Mount Compound. Last time it was because some Jews went to pray there, this time over a simple rumor. Amazing how a rumor sets Muslims off.

Fresh clashes at Jerusalem shrine

Palestinians have clashed with Israeli police in Jerusalem after police closed a compound with sites sacred to Jews and Muslims, citing security concerns.

The protesters threw stones and bottles at the police, who responded with tear gas and stun grenades.

Several Palestinians are reported to have been detained, including a former minister, Hatem Abdulqader.

The Israeli police said they had closed the compound because Palestinians had planned a mass gathering there.

Palestinians say they are trying to protect the site, known to Muslims as the Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as the Temple Mount, from Jewish hardliners, who they fear intend to desecrate it.

There were reports of three arrests, and several police and protesters were slightly injured.

Police closed off the sites after mosque loudspeakers in Jerusalem's Old City urged people to gather there, following rumours that Jewish settlers were to be allowed into the compound.

"We closed the access to the Temple Mount following incitations to violence," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told AFP news agency.

The incident follows similar protests a week ago in which 30 people were injured.
Security has been boosted at the compound as Jews attend prayers for the seven-day Feast of Tabernacles at the Western Wall.

In the past the compound has been a flashpoint for Israel-Palestinian violence, notably after the visit of then Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon in 2000.

End of law, Could Mean the end of Israel

Two organizations in Israel are working hand in hand trying to strike down a law that will eventually end the Jewish majority in Israel. If the law is struck down Israel will become flooded by its enemies who will now have an opening to obtain citizenship. The oraganizations involved are The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel which sounds like their equivalent to CAIR and The Association for Civil Rights in Israel The Association for Civil Rights in Israel which is like our ACLU. Will those on the left ever understand that some cultures/religions just cannot coexist with others?

Hat tip to Dayag.

Court Expected to Nix Law that Keeps Arabs from Flooding Israel

by Gil Ronen

(IsraelNN.com) The Israeli High Court will convene Sunday to discuss a petition jointly submitted by Adalah (The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel), former Knesset Member Zahava Gal-On and the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) to strike down the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law (Temporary Order), enacted by the Knesset in 2003.

The law was passed in order to stem the flood of “Palestinian” Arabs who entered Israel from Judea, Samaria, Gaza and from enemy Arab countries and received Israeli citizenship by marrying Arabs who already possessed Israeli citizenship.

The High Court has heard the appeal against the law in the past and struck it down by a one-vote margin. On Sunday, however, the High Court will convene in a seven-member panel headed by Supreme Court President Dorit Beinisch to hear the petition again, and this time it is expected to rule in favor of striking down the law.

According to grassroots Zionist activism group Im Tirtzu, “between 1993 and 2003, 130,000 Palestinians who had lived in enemy Arab countries and in Judea and Samaria received Israeli citizenship through marriage with Israeli Arabs. By making use of the Israeli law which had allowed the granting of citizenship to Arabs who marry Israeli citizens, the Palestinians succeeded in meaningfully changing the demographic balance within Israel and to begin implementing their demand for the return of refugees into Israel.”

The Knesset law that prevents this was passed as a temporary order in 2003 and is extended annually by the Knesset. It prevents Arabs from Judea, Samaria and Gaza, as well as citizens of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran, from receiving Israeli citizenship by marrying Israeli citizens.

According to demographic expert Arnon Sofer, if the court annuls the law, hundreds of thousands of Arabs within the Middle East will marry family members in Israel and gradually erase the Jewish majority in Israel.

Im Tirzu is holding a demonstration outside the Supreme Court building in Jerusalem at 9:00 a.m. Sunday. Information (in Hebrew) on the demonstration and contact details can be viewed here.

Denmark:Muslim Arrested for Shooting Two Jews

Unfortunately the world saw how just easy it was for Muslims to pull off the Mumbai attacks. As it is much easier for Islamic terrorists to just walk into a crowded area and start randomly shooting people, than it is to build bombs. It is now clear that they will use guns to terrorize and kill us and that Mumbai style attacks will be occurring more frequently in the West.

In September a similar attack was stopped right before it occurred in Oklahoma and a Palestinian has just been arrested in Denmark for the mall shooting of two Jews.

Danish police arrest man in mall shooting

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Danish police say they have arrested a man of Palestinian descent on suspicion of shooting and wounding two Israelis at a shopping mall.

Police spokesman John Jacobsen says without naming the suspect that he is a 27-year-old Dane born in Lebanon of Palestinian parents.

A court on Thursday ordered the suspect held for up to four weeks while police investigate.

Police say the suspect has denied attempting to kill the Israelis but acknowledged carrying a gun Wednesday at the mall in the central Danish city of Odense.

Jacobsen says the two Israelis had been selling hair-care products when they were attacked. He says they were hospitalized in stable condition; one man was shot in the arm and one man in the leg.
