Jerusalem Police said it detained seven Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount on Sundaay, the 9th of Av, for “breaking the rules” set by the Waqf, the Jordanian charity that runs the compound. According to legal aid society Honenu, three detainees said “Shema Israel” and “Hashem Hu Ha’Elohim.” Hear, oh Israel, God is the Lord — very similar to what the hordes of Muslims had been yelling the entire day while stalking and harassing the visitors — Allah hu Akbar — God is graet.
Another Jewish visitor was arrested for tearing his shirt, a Jewish expression of mourning which did not pass the waqf’s standards for proper Jewish behavior.
As the Jews were being arrested, dozens of Muslims started ganging up on the cops and the visitors, screaming that same incriminating call of faith in God, except in the approved Arabic.
