[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] Those incredible storming settlers performing their Talmudic rituals

Usually, this level of idiocy is only published in Arabic. I was briefly surprised to see it in World Bulletin.

Then I looked at where World Bulletin is published:

Turkey.

I am taking the liberty of highlighting every example of bias or lies in this article:

Jewish settlers storm Al-Aqsa and Nablus

Jewish settlers have been repeatedly storming the Al-Aqsa compound, and have now stormed the Palestinian city of Nablus, where they performed Talmudic rituals.

Dozens of Jewish extremists on Tuesday stormed the Aqsa Mosque compound in the city of Al-Quds (East Jerusalem).

"Settlers, under the protection of Israeli police, stormed the Aqsa compound through the Magharbeh Gate," Mahmoud Abu Atta, spokesman for the Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage, told Anadolu Agency.

The settlers were led by extremist Jewish Rabbi Yehuda Glick, chairman of Israel's Temple Mount Heritage Foundation.

In recent weeks, groups of Jewish settlers – often accompanied by Israeli security forces – have repeatedly entered the Aqsa Mosque complex. The frequent violations anger Palestinian Muslims and occasionally lead to violent clashes.

For Muslims, Al-Aqsa represents the world's third holiest site.

Jews refer to the area as the "Temple Mount," claiming it was the site of two prominent Jewish temples in ancient times.

Israel occupied the city of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) after the 1967 Middle East War. It later annexed the holy city, claiming it as the capital of the self-proclaimed Jewish state.

SETTLERS PERFORM TALMUDIC RITUALS IN Nablus

Clashes erupted on Tuesday after hundreds of Jewish settlers, backed by Israeli security forces, stormed the West Bank city of Nablus and performed Talmudic rituals at the site known as Joseph's Tomb.

"At dawn today, Jewish settlers backed by Israeli forces were bussed to Joseph's Tomb, where they performed Talmudic rituals and held noisy celebrations until the late morning," Ahmed Shamekh, chairman of the services committee at the nearby Balata refugee camp, told Anadolu Agency.

Israeli forces used rubber bullets and teargas to disperse Palestinian residents, leaving dozens suffering from gas inhalation, medical sources told AA.

Some details that the Turks left out:

Arutz-7 reports that many of the worshipers, who came overnight, were from central and northern Israel - not the territories.

Ma'an, which also describes the visitors as "settlers," gives more details on the clashes:

While the settlers visited the site, a number of Palestinian young men gathered in the area hurling stones and empty bottles at Israeli soldiers.

No casualties were reported.

The "storming Joseph's Tomb to do Talmudic rituals" story - something that happens at least once a month - also received absurdly biased coverage in Bahraini and Jordanian English-language news outlets.
