(Newsweek) Itay Milner - In 1929, Grand Mufti Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, a prominent Muslim leader in Jerusalem, fabricated a claim that Jews planned to take control of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Spurred by his antisemitic campaign, Arabs throughout the Holy Land brutally murdered 133 Jewish men, women, and children with guns, clubs, and axes. Nearly 100 years later, Palestinian Arabs have sought to obstruct visits by Jews to their holiest site, the Temple Mount, portraying them as "taking over" and "defiling" the area with their "filthy Jewish feet," and encouraging Palestinian youth to "defend" against fabricated Israeli threats. In fact, visits by Jews are conducted in accordance with agreed-upon limits placed on all non-Muslims; Jews can only visit the Temple Mount at fixed times and cannot enter Al-Aqsa Mosque. Every year, there are claims of a Jewish takeover of Al-Aqsa. One would expect that by now, the world would recognize that if such an event has not occurred, it is likely not true.
