    Sweden, Egypt and France requested the meeting to “urgently discuss how calls for de-escalation in Jerusalem can be supported,” Sweden’s Deputy U.N. ambassador, Carl Skau, posted on Twitter.

    Hours before the three Israelis were stabbed, three Palestinians were killed in violence prompted by Israel’s installation of metal detectors at entry points to the Noble Sanctuary-Temple Mount compound in Jerusalem’s walled Old City.

    In Jerusalem on Saturday, Israeli police said they used riot gear to disperse dozens of Palestinians who threw stones and bottles at them. Television footage showed police throwing stun grenades and using a water cannon to break up the crowd.

    Three Palestinians were killed in violence, is what Reuters tells you. What they don’t say, is that they were killed by police after they were engaging in violence! On believable I don’t know why Vin posts any articles from Reuters, which is Arab owned.

    And of course the windup of this meeting will be that the UN will say Israel should remove the metal detectors for starters, and also work towards giving these Savages a Palestinian so-called State. Their solution is to reward Terror. Despicable.

    I saw a clipping on line. It shows how the pals smuggle the arms to the mosque and transfer the arms from mosque to people. This is what caused the shootinf last Friday and why we must keep the metal detectors in place!!
