Every year, Israeli forces brutalize Palestinian worshippers while the world and international media either turn a blind eye or pretend as if the conflict has "two sides." Without cause, Israeli police assaulted worshippers, leading to a dangerous escalation. Indeed, the occupation's cruelty has no bounds, even during the holy month of Ramadan. Emboldened by international passivity after killing more Palestinians last year than in any other calendar year since the Second Intifada, the occupation is becoming even more brutal.
Though the Palestinians and their enablers will cry foul when Israeli police try to maintain order, the reality is that Wednesday's confrontation was a result of Palestinian agitators turning a holy site into a war zone. Even though the Temple Mount is the holiest place in Judaism, Israel maintains the status quo, as it has no interest in provoking the situation in the West Bank or Gaza. While the media focuses on Jerusalem, terrorists in Gaza committed the real crime by firing rockets at Israeli civilians.
