Hundreds of Palestinians riot over Temple Mount restrictions

[bemildred]

Hundreds of Palestinians rioted outside Jerusalem on Friday morning to protest restrictions on Palestinian entry to the Temple Mount for Friday prayers during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Palestinians hurled rocks and bottles at Border Police officers manning the Atarot and A-Ram checkpoints north of Jerusalem and two checkpoints south of Jerusalem.

The Border Police dispersed the Palestinians with rubber bullets, batons and stun grenades. There were no injuries reported.

1. This is a case of Israel trying to provoke violence from the

Palestinians, and they got their wish.

2. WTF?

The Border Police dispersed the Palestinians with rubber bullets, batons and stun grenades. There were no injuries reported.


They must mean no injuries to the border police forces. If someone is beating me with a baton and shooting at me, I ain't likely to stick around and ask them to take my complaint of injury.
