Palestinians claim "settlers storming shrine of Prophet Musa to perform Talmudic rituals." Ummm...no.

The Palestinian Information Center and Felesteen both reported:

This morning, Thursday morning, armed settlers stormed the shrine and mosque of the Prophet Musa, between Jericho and occupied Jerusalem. 

Eyewitnesses stated that settlers stormed the shrine of Prophet Musa, heavily armed, with full protection from the occupation soldiers. 

The sources pointed out that settlers wandered around the shrine of the Prophet Musa and performed Talmudic rituals, and took pictures at the site. 

This sounded strange because the shrine of Nebi Musa is one of the few Muslim holy places that aren't holy for Jews. Muslims believe that Moses was buried there, the Torah says Moses never crossed the Jordan to go to Israel. There is no reason for Jews to go there to pray.

So I found the video of the supposed storming.

These are tourists. They are not religious Jews at all - the men aren't wearing kippot, the women are dressed in slacks unlike religious Jewish women. No prayers. No evidence of armed police. Muslims are freely mixing with the tourists. 

There were recent reports that the Palestinian Authority has been contacting and threatening to arrest people who have complained on social media about their allowing a dance party at the Nebi Musa site two weeks ago. Under Palestinian law, insulting political leaders on social media is a crime.
