Thousands of Palestinian worshipers today evening performed Tarawih prayers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, despite the restrictions imposed by the Israeli occupation.The Islamic Endowments Department said that about 35,000 worshipers performed the Tarawih prayers inside Al-Aqsa Mosque, on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan, despite the occupation’s measures.
There are so many stories in the media about how Israel makes it difficult for Muslims to worship at Al Aqsa, yet a nighttime prayer session attracts far more people than could fit in Madison Square Garden.
While the media emphasizes that Israel restricts young men from going there, that appears to only apply to West Bank Palestinians. Muslims who live in Israel, including Arab sections of Jerusalem, don't seem to have any problems getting there.
How many articles mention that?
The media spends more time talking about a couple of hundred Jews visiting their holiest site than tens of thousands of Muslims visiting (and, from the perspective of Jewish law, desecrating) the site every day.
