Holy Saturday, 1960: Yes, Jordanian police also limited crowds, and no one complained

Anti-Israel media continues to castigate Israel for crowd control measures during the Holy Fire ceremony at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre last month.

From Turkey's Anadolu News Agency:

[Video] Israel prevents some Christians from attending 'Holy Fire' ceremony at Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre

I already showed that British police in 1932 also engaged in crowd control to limit the number of people in the area and allowed in the church.

What about how things were under Jordanian control - the sacred "status quo" where 19 years of illegal annexation and ethnically cleansing Jews is supposed to be the model on how to deal with Jerusalem today?

I just found this footage from a 1960 Christian children's documentary about Jerusalem, that shows a very similar scene to what is shown above, with Jordanian police forming a cordon preventing crowds from entering the church. 

The dangers are obvious, especially with the fire being transferred in areas packed with pilgrims.

But only when Israel tries to make things safe do people get upset.

If someone can point to a specific difference between Israeli police barricades and Jordanian police cordons and crowd control, by all means, enlighten us.
