    Friday’s clash occurred at a compound containing the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of Islam’s holiest sites. Jews call the compound the Temple Mount because of the biblical Jewish temples that once stood there.

    Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said Palestinian protestors threw rocks at police stationed at the compound entrance. The police stormed inside and used stun grenades to disperse the rioters.

    Earlier this week, hardline Jewish activists were arrested for trying to pray atop the mount. An aide to the Palestinian president said Friday’s protest was because of that visit.

    Police prevent Jewish prayers on the mount to avoid clashes with Muslims.

    Just an observation…..anyone can go to any of the Jewish or other religious places in Israel or the world to pray and it’s peaceful and solemn…go to a Muslim place of prayer or holy site and there’s rock throwing and violence…why? Don’t they have any respect even for their own places of worship? That’s a stupid question!!!!!

    Prayers for the peace of Jerusalem. The prophecies are crystal clear that the 150,000 sq.m. trapezoid platform in the midst of the Old City will be a “House for All Nations” at some point in human history. Also the prophecies state that all people will turn to the good/G-d over time. Two interesting question for all to ponder is.

    – “Where should H.Q. be for such a paradigm to unfold?”

    – “Where are we on the divine timetable at present?”

    Also…Any Jew who reads this and does not believe in prophecy ignores such luminaries as Maimonides, thus they are “Jewish-Lite”.

    Shabbat Shalom !

    P.S. There is a divine reason why it was a correct decision of Dayan’s not to demolish the Dome in 1967. Not enough space here to explain why…

    Shame on Israel and the government of Israel for forbidding a Jew to go and pray anywhere he wants to, thats the reason why the Arabs are bold enough to throw rocks at us.
    When will stupid and suicidal Israel wake up and realize there is no other language to speak to Arabs only tough and hard.
    Enough is enough get rid of the Arabs and transfer them to Jordan where they belong.

    I still think that Jews should not go onto the Temple Mount anyway.
