Temple Mount

Muslim worshipers, Israeli police clash at Jerusalem's Temple Mount - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Clashes between Muslim worshipers and Israeli security forces broke out on Friday at Jerusalem's Temple Mount, police said. [...] The violence came at the end of Friday prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound and after a parade marking the one-year anniversary of the removal of temporary metal detectors from the holy site. Palestinians regarded the installation of the security measures as a move by Israel to assert control over the site."

Comment: You have to appreciate the twisted logic of the Palestinians, protesting the need for security with acts of violence, because that makes sense. This is a reminder that the Temple Mount remains a flashpoint that could erupt into violence at any time.
