Police ignored threats by Arabs to butcher Jews ascending the Temple Mount but arrested an Arab for trying to stab a police officer. The police also arrested Likud nationalist Moshe Feiglin for attempting to pray there.
A number of Jews, including those from the Our Land of Israel movement, went up to the holy site on Tuesday despite rumors Monday night that Arabs planned to cause problems. The police were alerted but provided no protection for the group of Jews.
“When we went up on the Temple Mount, we were greeted with cries of ‘Allah is Great,’” said Asaf Fried, one of the members in the group.
”The police again did nothing, even towards the end of the visit when the Arabs really came close to us and blocked our exit, shouting, 'We will expel the Jews in blood and fire and will butcher Jews.’
“The police still did nothing,” and the group of Jews escaped without harm.
Earlier, the police arrested Feiglin, head of the Jewish Leadership faction of the Likud party, alleging that he was trying to pray at the Temple Mount, which is considered a crime by the police. “The decision of the police [to arrest me] is a surrender to the Muslim Waqf and without any real reason, Feiglin said.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri told AFP, "Two Jews from a radical rightwing movement were arrested this morning while trying to disturb the peace on the plaza. One of the two, Moshe Feiglin, had started to pray, and the second had lain down on the ground.
"Three Arabs, a woman and two men, were also held for questioning. The woman tried to stab a police officer with a knife.”
National Union Knesset Member Dr. Michael Ben-Ari commented afterwards, “We again have seen the useless hand of our police at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The attacks on Jews represent an abandonment of law. Closing the Temple Mount to those who incite pogroms encouraged by the Waqf is the only way to bring back sovereignty of the holy site to the People of Israel.”

A new Hizbullah video highlights the terrorist organization's latest campaign - “liberating the Galilee.” On the agenda is Hizbullah's conquering of key sites and cities like tourist centers, refineries, and the Haifa port.
The video was posted on a Hizbullah site Monday, the same day that Israeli Arab politicians led a protest commemorating the deaths of 12 Arabs in 2000, as they rioted and attempted to spread the intifada to northern Israel. The video shows the chief “Zionist settlements” - meaning Jewish towns and cities - in northern Israel, such as Afikim, Ma'alot, and Nahariya. The video also mentions “the principal Palestinian cities in northern Palestine,” including Tzefat, Akko, Tiberias, Haifa, and Nazareth.
Last year, Hizbullah head Hassan Nasrallah threatened that his organization would try to conquer the Galilee. Nasrallah emerged from hiding for several hours to attend a ceremony in Beirut, where he warned “[Defense Minister Ehud[ Barak, [former IDF Chief of Staff Gabi] Ashkenazi, and [current IDF Chief of Staff] Benny Gantz, that now you must get used to the idea. If you impose a war on Lebanon, our fighters will conquer the Galilee.”

Arab MKs: 'We'll Take Justice Into Our Own Hands'

Thousands of Arabs protested on Monday on the 12th anniversary of the “Israeli Arab intifada,” in which Arabs rioting in northern Israel in October 2000 faced off against police and security forces. Twelve Arabs were killed during those riots.
The 2000 riots, in Nazareth and other largely Arab towns in northern Israel, were held in sympathy with the riots being conducted by Palestinian Authority Arabs, who went on a relentless terror campaign against Israeli Jews. The riots in northern Israel amounted to an insurrection by Arabs, with calls for the end of the Jewish state and Palestinian flags flying, and Israel, fearing a new front in the Arab uprising, quickly quashed the riots
Protesters on Monday decried the “murder” of the rioters in 2000, claiming that the State was trying to damage Arab interests, and did not care if it murdered innocent Arabs. MK Ahmed Tibi (Ra'am-Ta'al), a former close associate of arch-terrorists Yasser Arafat, said that “we will not forget, nor will we forgive, the murders. Those who murdered our people must be tried and punished. A country that murders its citizens and rewards their killers is a murderous, racist country,” Tibi said.
MK Taleb a-Sana said that “if the government does not act justly, we will make justice. If it does not punish the guilty, we will punish them. He will not forgive, nor will we forget, and we will allow the blood of any Arab to be cheapened,” he added.
