    Israel sent extra troops into the West Bank on Saturday after violence erupted over Israel’s installation of metal detectors at entry points to the Noble Sanctuary-Temple Mount compound in Jerusalem’s walled Old City.

    A Palestinian attacker stabbed to death three Israelis on Friday, and hours earlier three Palestinians were killed. In Jerusalem on Saturday, Israeli police used riot gear to disperse dozens of Palestinians who threw stones and bottles at them.

    “Jerusalem is a red line that Muslims and Arabs cannot allow to be crossed,… and what is happening today is an attempt to impose a new reality on the Holy city,” Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said in a statement.

    “The Israeli government is playing with fire and risking a major crisis with the Arab and Islamic world.”

    Arab League foreign ministers will hold emergency talks in Cairo on Wednesday, the group said in a statement.

    The United Nations Security Council plans to meet on Monday to discuss the bloodiest spate of Israeli-Palestinian violence for years. Sweden, Egypt and France requested the meeting to urgently discuss de-escalation in Jerusalem.

    Israeli military commanders have warned violence may escalate.

    Its so sad that the Israelis dont learn from their fatal mistakes. The Temple mt is the holiest to these murdurous Muslims and theyre here to show it unfortunately. Let Israel get the hell out of there before we grieve over more lives G D forbid. Its a terrible crime to install detectors on “their” property. Even if its politically correct its just too bad. They will have it their way. Your dealing with animals. Let Israeli police not ascend the Mt so theres no need for detectors. Its not our place now anyhow. Spirituall & literally. Stop causing bloodshed!!!

    So not one condemnation from the arab league re the viscous Friday night murders?

    And nothing about Israel’s concern that the reason why we need a metal detector at the al aksa mosque is because guns were brought in and officers were killed?

    And these are our peaceful muslims allies? When will you people (yamsar, Yonasow etc..) wake up and see that Islam is a hateful religion whose people are pigs and not deserving of human treatment? They are blood sucking vultures. Hashomer, Feh feh feh.

    In the words of the Tzaddik, HaRav Meir Kahane Z’TL “drive the arabs into the sea” The Tzaddik knew what these people are like & what they are capable of doing. Klal Yisroel is paying the price. The time has come to head the words of the Tzaddik. Please be reminded of the words of the late PM Golda Meir A’H when asked when there will be peace between the arabs & Israel? “When the arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews.”. This point is sadly brought home by the indiscriminate blood thirsty murder of the Solomon family by a young arab murderer. For what reason? BECAUSE THEY WERE JEWS! The same reason 75 years ago that the nazi’s Y’SM used. The none days are upon us, please let us raven & say tehillim for our redemption & the rapid arrival of Moshiach

    face up to the truth the arabs want all of us dead. all of us both in israel and golus.Whatever we do to stop them isn’t enough. They have to be devastated to get them frightened of us.When i visited israel in 1967 just after the war the arabs were terrified of any jew ,all you had to do was look at them and they melted away. Israel has been too kind to them and they get more violent day by day.
