Palestinians Fan the Flames
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff - The Palestinian Authority is playing a very dangerous game over Jerusalem and specifically the Temple Mount. Mohammed Dahlan, who is not known for his religious fervor, Khatem Abdel Kader, who holds the Jerusalem portfolio in Fatah, and others called Sunday on Israeli Arabs and residents of East Jerusalem to go to the Temple Mount to "protect it from the Jews." A pamphlet issued Sunday signed by the National and Islamic Forces, an organization that coordinated activities during the second intifada, said that a great 18th-century rabbi foretold that the opening of the Hurva Synagogue on Tuesday will inaugurate the opening of the Third Temple and therefore Al-Aqsa Mosque must be defended.
