Religious days of muslim religious festivals known muslims are not allowed into the certainly. These right wing groups entering the compound is breaking away from that Status Agreement that happened again quest 2nd time but its smaller groups at around 130 local 1030 g. M. T. We did hear a bit of an uproar we didnt see the skirmishes like in the morning when stun grenades and a bit of tear gas was used but by several dozen palestinians were wounded and. Israeli soldiers but now everything has returned to calm here ok thank you. Lets go to ali dounia name and pardon me a cofounder of electronic intifada an online news publication focusing on palestine he joins us from chicago thank you for your time in your mind how could this have been prevented. Well it could have been prevented by israel not allowing religious extremists associated with the socalled Temple Movement to go to on the day that. Muslims and palestinians is celebrating aid or. Lets remember a couple of things now this calm apparently because a lock size shut down so hundreds of thousands of palestinians in jerusalem have no access to the most revered site during this important religious festival and lets also remember that on jewish holidays israel imposes a total closure on the occupied west bank and gaza strip banning millions of palestinians from moving about to enter in jerusalem o. Going to the holy sites supposedly in order to protect jews during religious holidays but on the aid law israel has done the opposite which is to allow religious extremists to go to lock suffer the puppets of a provoking most lives and i think that that has to be very clear because these are not just you know pious jewish worshippers who want to go and pray its a holy site this is these are organized provocations from the Temple Movement which is funded by the Israeli Government and who is explicitly stated goal is the destruction of the locks of mosque and its replacement with a jewish temple which is why this provocation was set on this religious jewish festival which commemorates the what is believed to be the disintegration of let me ask you i mean obviously we need given a lot of context too to most of our viewers now but to the ones who dont know about the religious significance about oxfam but its more than that tell us more about the significance that. Right of course it has religious significance to barely have enough muslims around the world but unlocks us also the heart of jerusalem as a palestinian city and so this has to be seen in the context of israels ongoing efforts to erase jerusalems most slim christin arab and palestinian character in history and to replace it with sort of the theme park which remakes jerusalems history as exclusively jewish and that includes efforts to restrict access to which as weve seen israel succeeded today by creating a provocation that effectively was a pretext to shut it down and through the continued acceleration of settlements and the destruction of palestinian homes and places like city wide and occupied East Jerusalem to build this socalled city of david a jewish theme park whose aim is to fabricate a history retro retroactively that erases again jerusalems most them christian arab and palestinian character an alley ive been in now with electronic intifada thank you you know well.
