But if you look closer at the photo, you see something interesting.
The book that the Arab woman is holding is a Hebrew Psalms!
It seems that she grabbed the Psalms from the Jewish man - just in time for the photographer to show his reaction to having had a holy book stolen from him in broad daylight.
There are other photos from the scene that show another Arab woman physically assaulting the same Jew, although I don't know whether it was taken before or after the photo above::
In fact, it is the Muslim women who created a gauntlet at the Chain Gate where Jews were exiting the Temple Mount. This photo from the same photographer shows things a little more accurately:

UPDATE: Another photo of the Muslim woman who grabbed the Jew, grabbing another Jew:
Who's intimidating whom again?
UPDATE 2: Israellycool and Bob Knot found (fuzzy) video of the scene; the woman seems to grab his Pslams at about 6 seconds in. It is clear that the Arab women are screaming at any Jews who pass by.
UPDATE 3: Bob found a much clearer video showing the exact sequence of events - just as we thought.
UPDATE 4: More photos showing her with the book and him going to retrieve it:
