Palestinians blame Israel for Ukrainian vodka bottle with Temple Mount artwork (update)

The director of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Omar Al-Kiswani, is upset at "the incitement of the Zionist enemy and the settlement groups against the Dome of the Rock which reflects their malicious intentions towards Jerusalem and the blessed mosque."

Religious Jews don't visit the Dome of the Rock, so how did they incite against it?

Because, according to Kiswani, a liquor company placed a picture of the Dome of the Rock on its packaging, 

As is often the case, Palestinian rumors resemble a game of telephone. The Dome of the Rock is indeed on a bottle of vodka - but it is made in Ukraine. Apparently, this was just discovered by a Palestinian man in Israel, who (according to some versions)  proceeded to destroy most of the bottles.

The photo used in the news stories isn't recent. I've seen it as far back as 2014. I cannot find any current version of the vodka by Soyuz-Victan with that label. So I'm not sure how this idea that Israel is trying to insult Muslims by placing the Dome of the Rock on forbidden alcoholic drinks came from.

However, there is an Israeli wine that shows a scene that includes the Temple Mount, that one can buy today.

Obviously, for this wine company, the artwork is meant to honor Jerusalem, not to insult Muslims. Anyone with two brain cells would know that.

But not Sheikh Omar Al-Kiswani.

UPDATE: DigFind and Moiresmix found posts about Muslims insulted by the vodka bottle - -and blaming Israel - back in 2007!
