First A Tunnel, Then A Bridge

You'll recall, the tunnel story was misreported.

And now the bridge story:

Mughrabi Bridge renovation gets municipal nod

Left-wing groups criticize authorities’ failure to coordinate the potentially explosive project with the Wakf.

A plan for the renovation of the Mughrabi Gate bridge, which leads from the Western Wall plaza to the Al-Aksa Mosque and the Temple Mount, received final approval from the Jerusalem Municipality last week, enabling construction to begin at any time...The project will be carried out in cooperation with the Israel Antiquities Authority.

The Antiquities Authority declined to comment on the matter.

Give the story a few more minutes to attract Arab foaming-at-the-mouth.

And here we are:

...Located in East Jerusalem's old walled city, the ramp is next to a compound Muslims know as Haram al-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary, and the al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam's third holiest site.

Jews also revere the site where two biblical temples stood and which is a flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In September 2000 a visit there by Ariel Sharon, then Israeli opposition leader, triggered protests that led to years of Palestinian uprising in which thousands on both sides died.

Palestinians have argued that Israeli renovations could damage Islamic relics buried underground...
