Arab League urges Israel to stop Jewish prayers at Al-Aqsa mosque

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Arab League called on Israel on Thursday to end Jewish prayers inside the compound of Islam's third holiest shrine in east Jerusalem, warning it was a flagrant affront to Muslim feelings that could trigger a wider conflict.

They said while Israel was restricting the right of worship of Muslims in Jerusalem's Old City, ultra-nationalist Jews under police protection were being allowed at the height of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan to enter the Al-Aqsa mosque compound.

Sitting atop the walled Old City plateau, the site is known to Muslims as Haram al Sharif (Noble Sanctuary) and to Jews as the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, where they believe two ancient temples were located.

"Our demands are clear that Al-Aqsa and Haram al-Sharif in all its area is a sole place of worship for Muslims," Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al Safadi told reporters alongside the Arab League chief Ahmed Aboul Gheit after an emergency meeting in Amman on the matter.

1. I have a better idea. Both parties need to get back to peace talks NOW

[Mosby]

3. The Palestinians have no legitimate representation.

Nothing the dictators in Palesinian society sign would be legally valid. None of them are in office legally.

4. I thought it was the Palestinian authority which would be Abbas?

5. Abbas was elected through 2012.

There have been no elections since his term expired. He governs by decree now. Hamas in Gaza was never elected, in 2006 they won a parliamentary election by a plurality, not a majority, but regardless that didn't give them anywhere near the authority to take over Gaza. So absent elections, there is no one on the Paleatinian side to negotiate with.

Eta what's going on lately is an attempt by Hamas to take over the WB, they have has some success in Jenin.

Nothing will move forward until Abbas dies, and then we will see who will control Fatah and the PA.

6. Thanks

2. Jews praying on the Temple Mount perpetuates the cycle of violence.

Clearly the proper response to this dire free speech situation is killing and violence.
