As sure as night turns into day, the major media networks in the US looked for ways to blame Israel for the increased violence on Monday, a day known as Jerusalem Day a celebration of the reunification of East and West Jerusalem by the Israeli military in 1967 following the end of the Six Day War. But the celebration was marked by violent clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israelis in Jerusalem and elsewhere.
More than 300 Palestinians were injured fighting in Jerusalem with Israeli forces who fired tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets at rioters at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of Islam’s holiest sites, on Monday. Israeli police said 21 officers were hurt and seven civilians were injured.

Jews hold a giant Israeli national flag at the Western Wall on the eve of Jerusalem Liberation Day, May 9, 2021.
Following a Monday morning assessment of the situation in Jerusalem, Police Commissioner Yaakov Shabtai decided that in view of the sensitive situation, there would be no visits by Jews to the Temple Mount on Jerusalem Liberation Day.
It seems that everyone who spoke this week about the need to ban Jews from entering the Temple Mount, starting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres to Meretz MK Tamar Zandberg demanded that Israel protect the right to worship and in the name of the same right it must forbid the prayer of Jews at the most sacred place for Jews in the world.
