| Israel outlaws Muslim groups that protest at key holy site |
| 2015-09-10 |
| [Ynet] Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon has outlawed two Moslem groups that have been holding rallies against Jewish visitors on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The Mourabitoun and Mourabitat groups have been declared illegal and anyone who organizes or funds them can be prosecuted. The two are informal movements of mostly Arab women and elderly men who demonstrate when Jews visit the compound known to Moslems as the Noble Sanctuary and Jews as the Temple Mount. It's revered as Judaism's holiest site and Islam's third-holiest. Religious Jews have been increasingly visiting the site, seeking to reverse an existing ban on Jewish prayer there. Paleostinians say Israel is encroaching on the site. |

| #4 We cannot have peace and progress because... Do stop whinging, anon1! And stop lying to yourself and to us. You know, because you have often said it, that it is the Muslim jihadis who are causing all the problems in Australia (and the rest of the world), not the Australians who just want to live peaceful and law-abiding lives... who are not fighting back as strongly against the jihadis as you know to be necessary. And you know, because you have said it, the exact same thing about America and Europe, that again it is not the citizenry there that is at fault for the problems, but the colonizing jihadis. And that fighting against the jihadis is both necessary and right. So why do you blame the Jews for the problems in the Middle East? Just because they fight against the same jihadi nonsense instead of disappearing to make the jihadis, the Europeans, President Obama, the rest of the antisemites, and you more comfortable. Fuck that shit. My mother fought the Nazis in the Dutch Underground when they wanted to erase the Jews from the Europe; my father fought the combined armies of the Arabs in 1948 in the defense of Tel Aviv, when they wanted to erase the Jews from Israel. I and mine are not going to roll over and die just because people like you are tired of hearing about it. |

| #3 this is the problem when modern people deify the squabbles of bronze age peasants who claim that a personal god led them to the one patch of the middle east that doesnt have any oil. they all want the same holy rock so the world cannot have any peace because all three abrahamic insanities spring from the bronze age squabbles of the people that lived around this area. Those peasants didnt know jack shit about anything. They had no idea the earth was round and not flat. They didnt know disease was caused by bacteria and viruses they thought it was divine retribution they had no idea how the brain works or how to think scientifically evaluating evidence to show how things work. its just a load of crap - and somehow we are all held hostage by this superstitious rubbish. We cannot have peace and progress because a bunch of idiots have lain aside their critical thinking abilities, they dont want to think for themselves they prefer to consult a holybook written by those aforementioned ignorant rubes from the bronze age. |

| #2 When a Jew is praying in Jerusalem he/she is facing to the Temple Mount. When a Muslim prays in Jerusalem he/she gives the back to the Temple Mount and faces the opposite direction to Mecca. |

| #1 So....who was there first, again? And how long was the first group there before the second group began to express an interest? [not covnting the Romans, of course; why don't they have a claim?] |
