PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY ANGERS JORDAN'S KING

IT'S A SHOWDOWN IN JERUSALEM.
THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY IS TRYING TO USURP KING ABDULLAH'S RIGHT TO CONTROL OF THE DOME OF THE ROCK, AL AQSA MOSQUE. 


BEFORE CLUELESS JOHN KERRY OFFERED ANYTHING TO STOP THE NEW VIOLENCE ATOP THE JERUSALEM TEMPLE MOUNT, JORDAN'S KING ABDULLAH SUGGESTED INSTALLING SECURITY CAMERAS TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON.

IF HE IMAGINED ISRAEL WAS "UP TO NO GOOD", LOOKS LIKE HE WAS WRONG, AS ISRAEL HEARTILY AND QUICKLY AGREED TO THAT.

WHEN KERRY PUT IT TO THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY (P.A.) THEY WENT BERSERK AND SCREAMED NO.
 NO, IT WAS A TRAP, THEY SAID, TO MAKE MUSLIMS LOOK BAD, A TRAP TO ARREST MUSLIMS FOR DEFENDING THEIR MOSQUE.

PA Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki and other officials in Ramallah expressed concern that Israel would use the cameras to “arrest Palestinians under the pretext of incitement.”


FUNNY, THE JORDANIAN KING IS MUSLIM AND HE DIDN'T THINK SO AND HAS EXPRESSED OUTRAGE AT THE STANCE THE P.A. HAS TAKEN.

THE JORDANIAN NEWS MEDIA, AL-GHAD WROTE A SCATHING INDICTMENT AGAINST MALKI.


"Maliki's comments are serious. the cameras are essentially a Jordanian suggestion. 
When he described them as a trap, it seems to the Palestinians and Arab public opinion, and possibly to Jordan as well, as if Jordan is a setting up this trap..."

THE JORDANIAN ANGER DID NOT STOP THERE!

Jordanian politicians and columnists have voiced outrage over the stance of the PA, and have dubbed it harmful to Palestinian and Islamic interests.

The Jordanian newspaper Al-Ghad, which is close to the government, quoted Jordanian politicians as denouncing the opposition of the Palestinian Authority to the cameras as “inappropriate, clumsy, tasteless and unfair.”

Adnan Abu Odeh, a veteran Jordanian politician and former advisor to both King Abdullah and King Hussein, said he did not believe that the cameras would serve Israel’s interests, as the PA claims.
 “The cameras will document everything, including those who want to assault Palestinians or Israelis,” he said. “The cameras will document anyone who carries out an assault or Jews who want to pray there.”Former Jordanian parliament member Bassam Haddadin said he did not know whether the PA leadership shared Malki’s opposition to the installation of the cameras. 

Noting that it was Jordan that had requested the installation of the cameras, Haddadin demanded that the PA leadership clarify its position on this issue.

Jordanian columnist Musa al-Ma’ayta also criticized Malki’s remarks, saying it was “inappropriate” for a PA minister to make such allegations against Jordan “after all what we did for the sake of the Aksa Mosque.”

Jordanian journalist Awwad al-Khalayla said that Malki’s opposition to the cameras sends a message to the international community that the Palestinians have something to hide. 

“Malki should have welcomed the decision to install the cameras because they would document Israeli violations against Muslim worshippers,” he said.

Al-Khalayla condemned Malki’s stance as “clumsy,” saying they reflected “clear and deliberate ignorance” on his part.

Meanwhile, Jordanian Minister of Waqf Affairs, Hayel al-Daoud, also defended the decision to install cameras at the Temple Mount. 

He said that the cameras were aimed at protecting the site. 

He also said that Jordan alone was responsible for installing the cameras and Israel has no right to intervene in the decision.

POWER STRUGGLE BETWEEN JORDANIAN AUTHORITY AND THE P.A.

Sources in Ramallah explained this week that the PA’s opposition to cameras should also be seen in the context of
the power struggle between the Palestinians and Jordan over control of the Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem. 


The Jordanians have long been seeking to preserve their status as “custodians” of Al-Aqsa Mosque and other Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem. 

This is a status that some Palestinians and the Islamic Movement in Israel have been trying to change during the past two decades, especially after the signing of the Oslo Accords between the PLO and Israel in 1993.
TWO YEARS OF HYSTERIA IN P.A. CAMP
During the past two years, the Palestinian Authority and other parties, including Hamas and the Islamic Movement (Northern Branch) in Israel, have been waging a campaign of incitement against Jewish visits to what they refer to as the Haram al-Sharif. 
The campaign claimed that Jews were planning to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque.
It was a hysterical reaction to an upsurge in Jewish visitors to the mount.
ANY excuse will do, right?

IF IT WAS JEWISH VISITORS CAUSING PROBLEMS, WOULDN'T MUSLIMS WANT THE WORLD TO SEE THAT?

BUT IF IT'S MUSLIMS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS, WELL, SURELY THEY'D BE CAUGHT ON FILM.
THAT WOULD MEAN CAMERAS WOULD SHOW WHO'S REALLY THE CULPRITS, RIGHT?
WHY NOT PUT CAMERAS EVERYWHERE UP THERE?
THE JORDANIAN KING HAD A GREAT IDEA!

In an attempt to prevent Jews from entering the approximately 37-acre (150,000 m2) site, the Palestinian Authority and the Islamic Movement in Israel hired scores of Muslim men and women to harass the NON-MUSLIM visitors and the police officers escorting them. 
Especially targeted were Jews, but several Christians have been seriously hurt since the hired attackers set up shop up there.

I have to ask, how much worse can the P.A., HAMAS, and others DEFILE THEIR OWN MOSQUE AND THE TEMPLE MOUNT?

THEY ALREADY ALLOW KIDS TO PLAY SOCCER AND BOUNCE BALLS OFF THE WALLS OF THE MOSQUE, ALLOW TRASH TO PILE UP FROM MUSLIM PICNICKERS, ALLOW STRAY CATS TO LIVE UP THERE, PAINT GRAFFITI ON INSIDE WALLS, STREW THE SITE WITH STONES, BOTTLES, FIREBOMBS, ANYTHING THEY CAN THROW AT NON-MUSLIMS, AND HIDE THOSE WEAPONS INSIDE WHAT THEY CALL THEIR "HOLY" MOSQUE.

IN THEIR RUSH TO THROW OBJECTS AT OTHERS, THEY HAVE BROKEN OUT GLASS, DESTROYED OBJECTS INSIDE THE MOSQUE, AND MADE IT A BATTLEGROUND, NOT A PLACE OF REVERENT WORSHIP AT ALL.
MANY PHOTOS SHOW MUSLIMS WEARING SHOES AND PILING ROCKS INSIDE THE MOSQUE.
NO ONE SHOULD WEAR SHOES IN THERE!
IN WHAT OTHER MOSQUE ARE SHOES WORN INSIDE OR ROCKS ALLOWED TO LITTER THE FLOOR?

STOCKPILING  ROCKS INSIDE THE MOSQUE.

AGAIN, LOOK HOW THEY WEAR SHOES INSIDE THE MOSQUE!
[IMAGES BY SKYNEWS ARABIA]

THE RIOTERS EVEN DESTROYED FURNITURE FROM THE MOSQUE.
[IIMAGE FROM THE ARABIC NEWS SOURCE Qaweim.com]

WHY?
WHY DO THIS TO SOMETHING THEY CALL A "HOLY MOSQUE"?
IS THIS DONE AT ANY OTHER MOSQUE ANYWHERE ON EARTH?





[ALL IMAGES ABOVE WERE FROM MUSLIM NEWS SOURCES AS OTHERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO FILM INSIDE THE MOSQUE.]
NONE OF THAT APPEARS VERY "HOLY" TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.
IT'S DESECRATION OF A SITE THAT IS HOLY TO TWO OTHER MAJOR WORLD RELIGIONS, IF NOT TO THOSE WHO WOULD DESTROY IT AS THESE RIOTERS DID!

JORDAN SHOULD GET A FIRMER GRIP ON CONTROL OF THE MOUNT.
IT APPEARS THEY ARE TRYING TO.
A senior Jordanian government official told The Associated Press that the cameras will be installed in "days, not weeks" and that for now, Muslim clerics and Israeli officials will monitor the feed, but that "the ultimate goal is for the footage to be seen on the Internet, by everyone."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said that "the cameras will transmit to us and to the people at the Waqf. But I don’t rule out that ultimately it will be transmitted everywhere. We have nothing to hide and transparency there is good for us."

The long-established praying arrangements in which Jews worship in the Wailing Wall area and Muslims on Haram Al Sharif date back to Ottoman times, 

and were reinforced by Israel after the 1967 Six Day War. 
WHAT HAS THE P.A. DONE TO ENFORCE ORDER AND STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST TOURISTS AND JEWS ATOP THE MOUNT?Mudar Zahran is a Palestinian writer, academic and civil rights activist from Jordan. In June, 2014, he wrote the following:

Wake Up to Reality: Palestinian Authority a Terrorist Organization

"The PA is a terrorist organization, and its leaders are terrorists who deserve international arrest warrants rather than a red-carpet treatment in Western capitals. The PA has been an inciter of terror; it jeopardizes the safety and livelihoods of Israelis and Palestinians alike.
Responses such as these [by the P.A. to the kidnapping of the 3 teenagers] should help the world -- which has been trying to force a peace agreement with the PA down Israel's throat -- wake up to the reality that the PA is a terrorist organization that has been inciting acts of violence and radicalism, and should be treated as such. Its leaders should be recognized as terrorists who deserve jail rather than a red carpet treatment in Western capitals.
The first thing the world should remember is that the PA is now officially united with Hamas, a terrorist organization
In addition, it is no secret that the PA officials have been stealing hundreds of millions of dollars of the aid money intended to improve the livelihoods of my people, the Palestinians, with no sign that Western aid to the PA ever filters down to the Palestinian public.


Instead of financing the PA leaders' lavish lifestyles, the world might finally start questioning the PA's institutionalized incitement of terror and hatred to my people which they relay daily through media, education and the religious institutions.
Ever since the PA came into existence, it has been keen to mass-produce and institutionalize the hatred of Jews and also the West. With their government-controlled TV shows that teach children how to kill Jews, and textbooks that preach hatred for Israel, the PA and Hamas are directly and fully responsible for each and every terror act committed by Palestinians, including the kidnapping (and murder) of  three teenagers.
As a Palestinian, I do not wish for any of my people to be in jail; nonetheless, I cannot sympathize with those who kill children and innocent civilians.
Would the U.S. or Europe agree to give its cities and parts of its soil to a terrorist organization to establish a country the way Secretary Kerry has been pushing Israel to give up most of the West Bank and return to pre-1967 borders?
Also, if the US or any European country were facing terror attacks from any neighboring country, wouldn't it seek to build a barrier to protect itself from that country? The U.S. already has a fortified wall along parts of its border with Mexico to stop illegal immigration -- an offense not by any means close to any of the terrorist acts that have claimed the lives of thousands of Israeli civilians over the years. Therefore, can the world keep blaming Israel for having a security barrier?
Can we Palestinians blame Israel when the barrier never existed before Hamas and the PLO started launching terror attacks on Israel on a daily basis? 
This tragedy should remind the world that the PA -- and organizations like it -- is a threat to all of us and should not be rewarded with still more funds for terrorist behavior. For the sake of both Israel and the Palestinians, it is not Israel but the PA that should be boycotted, excluded and even dissolved."
HE ALSO WROTE:Who Is Destroying Al-Aqsa Mosque?"You see these scaffoldings? They [the officials] put them up to claim maintenance work is being done in order to beg donors for money. 

These scaffoldings have been here for years with nothing done....The sheikh here just takes photos of them to show to donors. Look at the donation boxes here; they collect an average of one million shekels ($284,000) per month. We have no idea where that money goes...The poor and the needy never see any of it."
At the mosque's washrooms where worshipers get cleansed according to Islamic precepts, graffiti on the wall states: "Sheikh Azzam Al-Khateeb has destroyed Al-Aqsa." Al-Khateeb is the mosque's general manager, who handles all financial and administrative affairs.

The custodians of the washrooms did not allow photos taken of the graffiti. Nonetheless, an elderly man beckoned and said: "They are slackers, we just have slackers in this place ... This mess you see here is our responsibility; the wrongdoers are from us...among us... We cannot properly pray here, they [the staff] are bad people."

"You should see the trash that mounts up here during Ramadan [when people come to visit]; the officials are not committed to their responsibility at all. All the donations and aid money paid for Al-Aqsa by Arab states do not filter here; we do not see any of it here. Jordan provides the money for salaries here, but it provides zero accountability for the staff handling the money."
 — Quotes from Members of the Muslim security staff of Al-Aqsa Mosque

At the Al-Aqsa Mosque manager's office, located within the mosque, there were no executive staff members with whom to meet.
 I was told no one was there.

Repeated calls to Al-Aqsa's designated office at the Palestinian Authority Waqf Ministry, to request a comment, were never answered, not a single time.

As a practicing Muslim, I was sad to hear that those managing Al-Aqsa were more concerned with donations and their personal welfare rather than with the mosque itself.

Which prompts the question: Is Al-Aqsa is an Islamically sacred site, or is it a tool to collect donations by trying to elicit global Islamic sympathy -- just a goose that lays golden eggs for its managers?"

IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTED:

"A federal jury finds the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization liable of supporting terrorist attacks in Israel, and awards $218.5 million to victims' families. 

After less than two days of deliberations, the 12-member jury decided the Palestinian Authority and the PLO knowingly helped facilitate a wave of deadly shootings and bombings in Israel in the early 2000s, which killed 33 people and wounded more than 400 others. The plaintiffs were 10 U.S. families affected by six specific attacks, including a 2002 bombing of a Hebrew University cafeteria and a 2004 suicide bombing on a public bus in Jerusalem."
THAT'S RIGHT, THEY KILLED AMERICANS.

EVEN THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS DESIGNATES THE P.A. AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

"
Is the Palestinian Authority a haven for  terrorism?
Yes. Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the secular al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades—all formally classified as terrorist groups by the U.S. government—operate from the Palestinian-ruled territories governed by Mahmoud Abbas, who succeeded Yasir Arafat as leader of the Fatah party."

TIME FOR JORDAN TO TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.
LIKE IT OR NOT, THE P.A. HAS NO REAL AUTHORITY OVER THE MOSQUE, AND LESS THAN THAT OVER THE TEMPLE MOUNT OR ISRAEL'S CAPITAL JERUSALEM.

IN THE WAR OF 1967, AFTER ALL, ISRAEL WON.


IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THOSE JORDANIAN CAMERAS SHOW, IF THEY DO GO UP!

AND HOW WILL KERRY RESPOND IF THEY DON'T?
WILL KERRY RESPOND?
If Kerry fails to pressure the PA to stop its incitement and repeated attempts to exclude the Jordanians from playing any positive role at the Haram al-Sharif, the current wave of knife attacks against Jews will continue.

JORDAN WOULD HAVE GOOD CAUSE TO FEEL INSULTED BY KERRY'S LACK OF ACTION AGAINST THE P.A.

WHY HASN'T THE UNITED NATIONS SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THIS INTENTIONAL DESTRUCTION AND THE P.A.'s DENYING JORDAN AND ISRAEL THEIR RIGHTFUL OVERSIGHT OF THE MOSQUE AND MOUNT?
AFTER ALL, BOTH JORDAN AND ISRAEL ARE MEMBER NATIONS OF THE U.N....AND THE P.A.?
IT'S A NAMED TERRORIST ORGANIZATION BY MOST NATIONS IN THE U.N.!

FURTHER READING, FROM  PALESTINIANS' VIEWPOINT:

~Gazans Speak Out: Hamas War Crimes"Hamas boasted that Palestinian civilians were killed while Hamas's terrorists remained alive, hiding in their underground bunkers and tunnels."


~What is really besieging Gaza?

"Just this past August, former PA security chief Muhammad Dahlan said that Gaza was "not under siege," and that its residents were "not lacking anything." 

Dahlan was expelled from Fatah in 2011 following a dispute with PA president Mahmoud Abbas, a circumstance which possibly gives him more freedom to speak his mind."Israel has never stopped humanitarian supplies to Gaza and does not enforce the alleged blockade of humanitarian supplies on Gaza, so why does Hamas insist on promoting the blockade's myth...?"

UNRWA: The Palestinians' Worst Enemy

"
Since its establishment, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency [UNRWA] has received billions in international aid, including more than $4 billion dollars of US taxpayers' money. While UNRWA's mission is to "relieve" and "support" the Palestinians, it has been doing exactly the opposite. It has been keeping Palestinians in pens as refugees and obstructing them from integrating and from normalizing their lives, all while UNRWA seems to be funnelling international aid money to whitewashing the terrorist organization Hamas, promoting the illegal Turkish flotilla which included members of Turkey's terrorist group the IHH, and which tried to break Israel's protection of its borders from having more weapons brought in that would be turned against it; to misrepresenting and politicizing the situation in Gaza, and to supporting the terrorist group, Hamas. One has to wonder if UNRWA is not actually an obstacle to peace in the Middle East"
