70,000 Muslims indirectly celebrate Chanukah on the Temple Mount

This morning, some 70,000 Muslims are reported to have visited the Temple Mount - a much higher number than a normal Friday, when between 40,000 and 50,000 typically come during winter months.

Thousands more visited the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron, spilling into the streets. 

Why so many? 

Because of Chanukah!

All week, there have been calls in Arabic media for Muslims to visit the Al Aqsa Mosque en masse because Jewish groups are asking Jews to visit the Mount on Chanukah, since the miracle of the oil happened there. 

Which means that tens of thousands of Muslims came not because they wanted to worship there, but in order to express Jew-hatred ahead of Chanukah. If it wasn't for a Jewish holiday, they wouldn't be there.

The preacher at the mosque, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, said, "We categorically reject any violation of Al-Aqsa Mosque and its sanctity by the occupation, its aides, settlers and groups."

For these Muslims, worship is a form of antisemitism.

As usual, even though record (non-Ramadan) numbers of Arabs are visiting the Mount, every article about the crowd emphasizes how Israel tried to stop them from coming, and that they somehow prevailed.
