Palestinians and Israeli police clash during evictions at al Aqsa
Jordan urged Israel on Sunday to stop what it described as “barbaric” attacks on worshippers in Jerusalem’s al Aqsa mosque and said it would step up international pressure.
Jordan, which has custodianship of Muslim and Christian sites in Jerusalem, said Israel should respect worshippers and international law safeguarding Arab rights.
East Jerusalem tensions have spilled over into clashes between Israeli police and Palestinians around al Aqsa, Islam’s third-holiest mosque, at the height of the Ramadan fasting month.
“What the Israeli police and special forces are doing, from violations against the mosque to attacks on worshippers, is barbaric (behaviour) that is rejected and condemned,” the government said in a statement.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country was safeguarding the right of worship and would not tolerate rioting in the compound that houses the Al-Aqsa Mosque and is revered by Jews as the Temple Mount.
Frictions have mounted in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, with nightly clashes in East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah – a neighbourhood where numerous Palestinian families face eviction.

King Abdullah, whose Hashemite family claims descent from Islam’s Prophet Mohammad and draws legitimacy from its custodianship role, said Israeli actions in the holy city were an escalation and called on it to end its “dangerous provocations”.
The monarch accused Israel of trying to change the demographic status of the holy city which contains sites sacred to Judaism, Islam and Christianity.
Jordan summoned the Israeli charge d’affaires in Amman to express the kingdom’s condemnation over what it said were Israeli “attacks on worshippers”, state media said.
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said the kingdom, which lost East Jerusalem and the West Bank in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, would do its utmost to protect rights of Palestinians against ownership claims by Jewish settlers.
“Israel as the occupying force carries responsibility for protecting rights of Palestinians in their homes,” Safadi said in comments on state media.
Jordan had earlier provided the Palestinians with land deeds in Sheikh Jarrah it says proves Israeli settler claims to the property were groundless.
“The eviction of Palestinians of Sheikh Jarrah from their homes is a war crime,” Safadi said.
Several hundred Jordanians protested near the fortified Israeli embassy in Amman as dozens of anti-riot police stood by. Scores in the crowd chanted “Death to Israel”.
They called for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador and scrapping of an unpopular peace treaty with Israel. Many citizens in Jordan are of Palestinian origin.

Who are the TRANSCENDENTAL ENEMIES OF THE JEWS ?
Who is Isaac referring to in the Jubilee ?
Book Of Jubilee
Chapter 14
28. And Isaac on that day cursed the Philistines and said: “Cursed be the Philistines unto the day of wrath and indignation from the midst of all nations;may God make them a derision and a curse and an object of wrath and indignation in the hands of the sinners the Gentiles and in the hands of the Kittim.
29. And whoever escapeth the sword of the enemy and the Kittim, may the righteous nation root out in judgment from under heaven; for they will be the enemies and foes of my children throughout their generations upon the earth.
NOTE THE WORDS “they will be the enemies and foes of my children throughout their generations upon the earth.”
THEREFORE WHO ARE THESE “PHILISTINES” ?
They are NOT the Palestinians or Persians – as there were no Persian wars with Abraham – at that point of time.
They are the Southern Europeansw,ho spread all over the EU,UK,Russia and probably the USA.
Could it be that the followers of Jesus and the Church of Paul – which was the anti-thesis,of the maxim,of the “Oral law for the Chosen people”, coalesced into the Church of Paul – which makes them,the “Christians”.dindooohindoo
The history of persecution of the Jews in the EU,bears testimony to the DNA of these “Christians” – which is also buttressed,by the blatant abuse and blasphemy of Jesus,by the Jews,at that point of time. This was also supported by the quotes of Jesus in Mathew, calling Jews – vipers,and the assumed gloating of Jews, on the Killing of Jesus (in the Bible)
Could the Catholics be the silent assassins (Philistines) acting AGAIINST and FOR the Israelis – playing both sides, and slowly but surely, weakening the Islamic nations AND ISRAEL ! dindooohindoo
