[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] Muslims relentlessly hound Jews touring Temple Mount

On Sunday:



Usually the crowds of screaming Muslim women have been concentrated around the southern part of the Temple Mount, near the Al Aqsa mosque. This time they followed and hounded the Jews, including children, all around the perimeter.

The screams and chants have a secondary effect: they ensure that the Jewish tour guides cannot be heard as they describe the majesty and importance of the sacred spot to the respectful visitors. Perhaps they should bring tablets that they can hold up with the highlights they want to note.

Also on Sunday the Waqf decided to try a new tack to increase the number of Muslims visiting the Jewish holy site: shopping.

Vendors in the adjacent Cotton Market (which has a gate that enters the Temple Mount) held sales to attract Muslim shoppers who would then visit the holy site while clutching their bargains.



Muslim leaders have been alarmed at rhe increased number of Jews visiting the Mount on Passover, and have called for even more Muslims to come to "defend" the "mosque" - with a specific call for tomorrow.

Further incitement came from MP Ahmed Abu Halabiyeh who warned that Israel plans to evacuate all Muslims from the area and build an altar for sacrifices.
