Solve one instance of Temple Mount violence and another and another always pops up.
Over the past century this land has witnessed ongoing, if sometimes punctuated, violence between Jews and Arabs, which can be generally attributed to the Arab objection to the Zionist enterprise.
The recent and ongoing violence in Jerusalem, while not divorceable from opposition to Israel’s existence, is connected with a more specific objection. Specifically, to the alleged Judaization of the Temple Mount, which includes the Aksa Mosque and Dome of the Rock, and which is said to be the third holiest site in Islam.
The actual “Judaization” in question: visits by an increasing number of Jews to the site, which is the holiest in Judaism, with many of the visitors attempting to pray.
For Zion s Sake They always have an excuse for violence
