The Guardian's Phoebe Greenwood, a Guardian multi-media presenter, has an on-line video report on the situation in Jerusalem. Her main Jewish interviewees are extreme left-wingers and Communists besides Muslims.
I have four comments.
1.
She exclaims, ""OMG, he's like 12 yrs. old and has a gun" at 1:18 but is he 12? Is his gun really unlicensed? We do not know but are impressed by her disbelief.
2.
At 3:15, her Muslim guest says "Jews won't allow Muslims to pray at Kotel."
But she should have asked, 'sir, the point is why should a Muslim do that? Is the Kotel plaza holy to Muslims? After all, the Temple Mount is surely holy to the Jews.'
3.
At 6:01, it is claimed that a "vast number" of Israelis support the demonstration's goals. The person who espoused that is a former Meretz MK, Prof. Naomi Chazan. Besides being completely unproven to the viewer, at the end of the clip, Greenwood does admit that the demo was eventually outnumbered.
4.
At 6:55 , Laura Wharton, Meretz Jerusalem Municipal Councillor declares about a young girl who disagreed with her that she was "just shouting out slogans".
And Wharton isn't?
This is the press?

My friend,
If Arab opposition to Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount is NOT driven by anti-Semitism, why do they want to remove it from the Kotel?
We hear a lot of accusations about Israel trying to change the status quo but no one ever accuses Arabs of trying to change it to their benefit.
A fair rule must apply equally to both sides or its not a fair rule at all, period. This is what Israel's critics refuse to understand.
And it need not be added the anti-Semitic apartheid regime on the Temple Mount that reeks of the stench of anti-Jewish bigotry is not a fair rule - no decent person should defend it.
