Another dose of good old fashioned Israel smearing from Reuters, via France 24;
REUTERS - Israeli police fired stun grenades on Sunday to disperse some 150 Palestinians who hurled stones at Jews visiting a sensitive religious site in the Old City before the start of the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
Nine policemen were lightly hurt, a spokesman said, and medics said they took 13 Palestinians to a hospital in Arab East Jerusalem for treatment of injuries. Police restored calm and closed the complex after the incident.
The disturbance occurred before Yom Kippur in the complex known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as al-Harm al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary). It houses al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock and overlooks the Western Wall, a Jewish prayer site.
Israel captured the Temple Mount in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it with the rest of East Jerusalem, in a move not recognised internationally.
Israeli police are on alert in mixed Arab-Jewish cities, including Jerusalem, fearing riots on Yom Kippur when many Jews fast and abstain from driving.
On the eve of Yom Kippur last year, Jewish youths in the Israeli town of Acre attacked an Arab man who drove into a mostly Jewish district disturbing the start of the 24-hour fasting day. Several homes and shops were damaged in ensuing riots.
Note to Reuters; your anti-Semitic stripes are showing again. This is another pathetic attempt at journalism though I could be completely wrong about that; you are probably not even trying to pass this as journalism at all. It would appear that Reuters, as well as the other apparatchiks of Marxist media have fully embraced the cowardice of appeasing the islamic beast in order for the left to increase their vote crop from amongst muslim welfare cases in Europe, as well as falling for the idea that somehow terrorism will cease once the Jew is fed to the dogs. One only needs to follow the link to this story to see the telltale signs of this campaign against Israel by the media.
First of all, the title, in a real journalistic institution would have told the truth. "Arabs attack Jews Visiting Holy Site" would have been nothing less than the truth. Of Course it had to be "Clashes between Palestinians and Police" as if no one actually started the fight. It also was accompanied by the ever popular photo of an injured "innocent" Palestinian. I must say that this particular play book is getting a little stale. it may be a tad bit more respectable if you guys just switched over to the good old fashioned rhetoric of the 1930s and attacked the Jews outright. One thing is for sure, if you are seeking more sympathy, you aren't going to get it, the left is withering away like a corpse in a ditch. The Palestinians are nothing more than bloodthirsty animals that even their Arab brethren reject and will not assist. Israel, rightfully so, is going to do whatever is necessary to preserve its right to exist and its democracy in the lion’s den of evil which surrounds it at all costs. There is not a damn thing that Europe, Obama, the Arab world or the media can do about it. And this just makes the left so damned mad.
Let’s cut the bull(expletive deleted) and start being honest; though I realize that for Marxist, socialist, utopian loving imbeciles, this is pathologically impossible. Half of you hate Jews. The other half of you are stark raving cowards who bend over for your domestic muslim populations at the drop of a hat. You know that to continue cultivating the vote, you have to feed the Jews to the dogs in order to make your "multicultural" populations in Europe happy. Either way, it comes down to throwing the only democracy in the middle east under the bus. Stop trying to kid us with your crocodile tears for these "poor misplaced people" and get on with the business at hand. The left cannot survive without the votes of muslims in Europe. Not a damned one of you ever raised an eyebrow for the countless real innocent victims of terrorism, or the violence against women and other minorities committed by muslims so there is no question of this game you play. If you want a fight, then drop your charade along with your gloves and come out for what you really are.
