"You crudely disrupted and battered congregants who came to pour out their souls to their Father in Heaven at the place and date holiest to them. Then you declared holy war against your victims charging they assailed your holy shrines...You prepare for outright bloodbath and jihad against the infidel desecrators. What desecration?...How can such absurdity be allowed to foment religious hostilities between Jews and Muslims?..."
Yosef-Eliahu Checlouche
October 6, 1928
in a newspaper article published just after an incident at the Western Wall in Jerusalem and 10 months before Arabs rushed out of the Haram E-Sharif compound on the Temple Mount to kill, slaughter and maim hundreds of Jews, falsely claiming the Jews intended to destroy the Haram.
