There will be much more of this in the coming days, as Muslim leaders in “Palestinian” areas are issuing increasingly frenzied calls for jihad.
“Two injured in Molotov cocktail attack in Jerusalem,” Jerusalem Post, August 3, 2015:
Two people were injured on Monday night in a firebomb attack near the Beit Hanina intersection in Jerusalem.
The incident occurred when a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a moving vehicle. Inside the car was a woman, 27 who was evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in stable condition with burns to her body.
Her husband, who was also in the vehicle, was unharmed, although the car was completely burnt.
The damaged vehicle hit a pedestrian, who suffered light injuries.
Police are investigating the surrounding incident.

Close the Temple Mount a day for every rocket fired and every Molotov Cocktail thrown in Israel. So if they want to fire 3,650 rockets the Temple Mount stays closed ten years.

Muslims don’t care much about the Dome of the Rock and barely know what it means. It’s only a excuse to be spiteful towards Israel.
Mohammed had a dream about some mosque (there wasn’t a mosque on Temple Mount at that time) and didn’t specify where it was. Fabricated hadiths later ‘explained’ those obscure, confusing verses. Caliph abd al Malik created the shrine on Temple Mount to spite Christians, but Muslims generally refused to come there.
Denying access to the Dome of the Rock is unjust and senseless because there is no connexion between the people who visit there and the terrorists. The solution is to find the terrorists and lock them up. The ultimate solution is to deprogram Muslims from Islam.
Martin Vink says
You argue that closing the Temple Mount doesn’t matter but that it does matter? Similarly, confusing is the distinction between Islam and terrorists. There is no such distinction in the Quran. William Gladstone said that there can be no peace as long as we don’t burn the Quran. You obviously disagree?

Right now, evicting the Waqf from the Temple Mount – and excluding all Muslims from entry – would be a damn good idea. *Militarily* a good idea.
That Temple is military high ground, right now.
Muslim presence there feeds and inflames Muslim supremacism.
Giving them the boot, after all the *atrocious* behaviour they have indulged in, is perfectly reasonable.
Right now, Muslims ‘pray’ there…and **attack** – with rocks, spit, screaming insults, mobbing – any Jew or Chrisitan who *dares* even look as though they are praying.
This should not be tolerated. It’s time they got the boot. Muslim non reciprocity is unendurable. If they can’t behave…if they won’t allow Jews to pray publicly in Judaism’s own holy site…then out with them.

excellent idea

And yet, if the Israelis came in hard and cracked some heads, they’d be the villains in the eyes of the world…

This will continue until surrounding Arab countries tell ‘Palestinians that they can be citizens of those countries. They can already apply for citizenship in Israel, but chose not to. If they don’t want to be civilized, they don’t have to. ‘Palestine’ is Jordan. If they don’t like Israel, Jordan is their alternative state. There is already a ‘two-state solution’, Israel and Jordan.

“They can already apply for citizenship in Israel, but chose not to.”
Actually, many Palestinians are applying for Israeli citizenship, particularly but not exclusively Christians.
Many of them are already Israeli residents, with all the rights of citizenship, except voting rights. And residency may be terminated at the discretion of the Israeli government.
My suggestion would be that Israel would be nuts to grant Palestinians citizenship on a mass basis..or almost any basis. Once you get more Muslims as a voting bloc, they use their tribal status as a lever for more concessions and more power. I think letting them stay residents is just fine: since their residency can be terminated, they are on their good behavior…and they don’t affect elections.
I’m being hardhearted, but I think it’s important that immigration and citizenship are viewed in terms of benefits to the host country, rather than as a right to persecuted or underprivileged would-be immigrants. It’s not up to Israel to give refuge to all the persecuted of the Middle East, any more than it is up to the United States.
