Tibi's Topsy-Turvey Tumult

The news is that:-

Hundreds of Palestinians riot over Temple Mount restrictions

Hundreds of Palestinians rioted outside Jerusalem on Friday morning to protest restrictions on Palestinian entry to the Temple Mount for Friday prayers during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Palestinians hurled rocks and bottles at Border Police officers manning the Atarot and A-Ram checkpoints north of Jerusalem and two checkpoints south of Jerusalem.

And meanwhile,

...some 160,000 Muslims gathered at the Temple Mount for prayers around noon Friday.

MK Ahmed Tibi (United Arab List-Ta'al) said the Israeli restrictions on prayer services at the Temple Mount violated freedom of religion and international law.

"Israel is impinging upon the freedom of worship and thereby callously violating international law," Tibi said.

Gee, and here I thought that when the Muslim Waqf prevents Jews from praying, saying Psalms, moving their lips or even swaying, that's religious discrimination.

That not allowing Jews to openly identify themselves as such, and not just as neutral "tourists", is discrimination and illegal.

That destroying Jewish artifacts from the First and Second Temple periods, dumping remains with archeological finds and so forth should be discrimination.

What a topsey-turvey world Tibi lives in.

Lucky for him, though, it's called the liberal and progressive state of Israel.

Too bad for the Jews, however.

Post Shabbat UPDATE:

As Dr. Aaron Lerner of IMRA points out, First they burned and destroyed the Jewish
facility at Joseph's Tomb - in gross violation of Oslo and all norms. Then they replaced it with a mosque. And now they complain...
