Palestinierna uppmamanar till nya oroligheter

Fatahs militära flygel, Aqsa Martyrernas Brigad, som enligt ingångna avtal inte längre borde existera, kräver att de palestinska myndigheterna förser dem med vapen så att de kan delta i den pågående "Jerusalem intifadan".
Både Hamas och de palestinska myndigheterna ger bränsle åt oroligheterna genom att sprida lögner om att Israel planerar att förstöra Al-Aqsa moskén.Det är kanske det mest vanliga och pålitligaste sättet att få till stånd oroligheter att säga att moskén är hotad.

'Israel planning to destroy al Aksa' (Jerusalem Post)
The armed wing of Fatah, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, on Tuesday called on the Palestinian Authority to give back the weapons it had confiscated from the group’s gunmen so that they could participate in the “Jerusalem Intifada.” The call came as both the PA and Hamas continued to accuse Israel of planning to destroy the mosques on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.“We call on all the Palestinian security services in the West Bank to release all Palestinian fighters from prison and to give them back their weapons so that they can join their people in defending Jerusalem against Israeli aggression,” the armed group, which was supposed to have been dismantled years ago in line with understandings between the PA and the US, said in a leaflet distributed in Ramallah...
...Although the PA leadership has been calling on Palestinians to demonstrate against Israel’s alleged scheme to destroy the mosques on the Temple Mount, Palestinian security forces have banned street protests in many Palestinian cities, eyewitnesses told The Jerusalem Post.They quoted PA security officials as saying that demonstrations were only allowed in areas under Israeli control, including Jerusalem, and that there was no need to protest inside Palestinian cities in the West Bank.

‘Day of Rage’ riots rock e. J'lem (Jerusalem Post)
"In what they called “a Day of Rage,” Palestinians rioted across east Jerusalem on Tuesday, throwing rocks, setting tires and garbage bins ablaze and even using live fire against police forces deployed by the thousands in the capital.The violence spread from one neighborhood to another. In one incident, youths hoisted a Palestinian flag and shouted, “We shall die and Palestine shall live!”A police officer was shot and lightly wounded in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Ras el-Amud on Tuesday evening, after the widespread rioting saw more than a dozen security forces wounded and upward of 60 arrests."
