UN envoy concerned over Temple Mount

The United Nations envoy on Middle East peace, Nickolay Mladenov, on Thursday expressed deep concern over a surge in tensions and violence around Jerusalem's Old City.

“I call on all concerned parties to de-escalate the situation and on moderate voices to speak up against those who try to fuel tensions,” Mladenov said in a statement published on his website.

He welcomed the commitment of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to uphold and respect the status quo at Jerusalem’s holy sites, and Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas's condemnation of violence, specifically the deadly attack on two Israeli policemen last Friday.

“I hope these affirmations will contribute to resolving the concerns of all parties and put an end to the provocative rhetoric that has added to the escalation over the past week,” Mladenov said, noting the importance of the special role of Jordan and the historical role of King Abdullah II, as custodian of the Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.

The latest tensions on the Temple Mount began after Israel announced a series of security measures following last week's terrorist attack at the compound.

The security measures included the placing of magnetometers (advanced metal detectors which are selective in which metals they react to) and additional security cameras around the entrances to the holy site.

These security measures prompted an outcry from the Palestinian Authority, the Jordanian Waqf and the Jordanian government, which demanded a return to the status quo. In addition, Arab rioters attacked security forces and civilian cars in eastern Jerusalem, injuring two police officers and at least one Jewish civilian on Wednesday alone.

The riots continued on Thursday night....It was later decided that the security measures on the Mount will remain.

First draft of Mladenov's call for restraint:

"Hey, what's wrong with you people? Aren't you used to getting killed yet? How dare you provoke the Palestinians and offend their dignity with metal detectors such as those in place at the entrances to the Western Wall plaza and the Cave of the Patriarchs, just because they killed a few Joooos! If it hadn't been for those metal detectors, there would be no "tension," because I wouldn't become deeply concerned over the dead Jooos! Now take them down, and stop getting your panties bunched over such trivial incidents."

His secretary re-wrote it, and now there is tension between them. Not deeply concerned, though.

"I call on all concerned parties to de-escalate the situation"

Muslims: OK, we'll kill fewer people.
Jews: OK, we'll do even more of nothing to escalate the situation.

Dear UnitedNazis envoy,
we might listen to your ‘concerns’ if you represented anybody else other than the UnitedNazis

Good thing Muslim prayers to Allah can’t go through metal detectors.

This is going to lead to more violence. Of course, that was going to happen anyway.

Seal it off. Give it back to the Templars.

The UN understands that Muslim prayer demands the availability of weapons, all the better to kill Jews with. Per the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, a position with a long history of Jewhaters and Nazi sympathizer, stated Any Muslim who goes to the Temple Mount to pray at the Mosques, and enters via the Zionist metal detectors, their prayers will be “invalid” and not be received by Allah. Allah hates metal detectors.

[[Interesting development.]]

Funny how they were not insulted when they were put in Mecca.
They never let an opportunity go to waste.
No matter what Israel does they are going to rage.
The world has insured this by handing a means to eat without working. The fakestinians vile leaders have insured the best paying job they really have is to fight and kill Israelis .

Islam is insidious idolatry , the more people get into it the more they become like the demon they worship.
Appeasement NEVER stops evil.

American’s better wake up too. Ben Shapiro couldn’t give a talk at Berkley because they started raging. There a muslim professor behind all the rage at Berkley too.

Danielle’s beast nations are rising . Leopard/Bear/Lion - the BEAST NATIONS are all ISLAMIC - ISLAM is nothing more than BAEL worship with a constitution that encourages rape , murder and theft of anyone who is not a follower.

(Daniel 7:2) Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.

(Daniel 7:3) And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

(Daniel 7:4) The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.

(Daniel 7:5) And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

(Daniel 7:6) After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

(Daniel 7:7) After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

(Daniel 7:8) I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

(Daniel 7:9) I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

(Daniel 7:10) A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

(Daniel 7:11) I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

(Daniel 7:12) As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

God is NOT going to allow it to go on forever
