Jordan formally asks Israel to ban Jews from Temple Mount

Jews visiting the Temple Mount this morning

Today, Jordan called on Israel to prevent Jews from ascending to the Temple Mount..

The Minister of State for Media Affairs and government spokesman Mohammad Al-Momani said that "the insistence of the Israeli occupation authorities to allow Jewish extremists to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a stirring of religious conflict and a flagrant challenge to the feelings of all Muslims."

He called for Israel to "prevent the entry of Jewish extremists to the Al-Aqsa Mosque to avoid provoking violence."

Momani also called on "the great powers and international organizations to move to take a firm stance against the schemes and practices of the Israeli occupation against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy places."

"Israel's practices towards the holy places is rejected and condemned and contrary to international conventions and treaties," he added, saying calling for "Israel to stop its continuous violations of the holy city."

I have yet to find a single "human rights" organization that is willing to say that Jews have the right to peacefully visit their own holy places.  HRW, Amnesty, Oxfam - nothing.

They talk about freedom of religion, but that doesn't seem to apply to everyone.

Probably because they don't want to be firebombed by the peaceful people who demand that Jewish holy places be Judenrein.

Meanwhile, the official news agency of Israel's "peace partner" complained that "Israeli fanatics along with members of the ruling Likud party Thursday carried out several provocative tours of Al-Aqsa Mosque, an Islamic holy place in Jerusalem’s Old City."
