Palestinian dies after Temple Mount clashes
JPost, Feb 24 2012

A Palestinian died after being shot in the chest during clashes with police at the Temple Mount, Ma’an reported Friday evening, citing Palestinian medics. Talat Ramia, 25, died at the Palestine Medical Complex during surgery, and five other Palestinians were injured according to Ma’an. Security forces used force to disperse hundreds of Muslim worshipers at the Temple Mount on Friday following a tense week in the Old City. Eleven police officers were lightly injured and treated at the scene. Four rioters were detained though a number of additional arrests are expected over the weekend. A number of youths barricaded themselves inside the mosque during the rioting, and dozens of police who responded to the incident used stun grenades and other riot control methods to disperse the crowd. The security forces entered the Temple Mount after police officers were attacked at the Mugrahbi Gate, one of the entrances to the Temple Mount. Police spokesman Rosenfeld said:

There were a number of disturbances last week starting last Sunday morning. What happened today was a continuation of tension in and around the Old City and Temple Mount due to what was put out on the internet by both right wing extremists and terrorist organizations.

A website called “Our Temple Mount” has publicized a number of events at the Temple Mount encouraging religious Jews to go up to the site in order to exercise Jewish sovereignty over the religious area. The site advocates destroying any Muslim buildings in order to rebuild the Third Temple. Two weeks ago, the website called for members of the Likud Central Committee to join Moshe Feiglin at the Temple Mount on his monthly visit. The flyer read:

Purify the site from the enemies of Israel who stole the land, and build the Third Temple on the ruins of the mosques.

Feiglin and two activists were denied access and the site was closed to non-Muslims amid fears of incitement. On Sunday, a group of approximately 50 Arabs threw stones at Christian tourists and police patrols, prompted by reports in the Jordanian press of more attempts by right-wing activists to ascend to the Temple Mount. Police arrested 24 people during the day on Sunday in connection with the stone throwing. Arab press, including Palestinian and Jordanian newspapers, wrote a number of articles about right-wing attempts to exert sovereignty over the Temple Mount. Police raided an apartment in Jerusalem’s Ramot neighborhood overnight on Monday and found extremist right-wing materials related to the Temple Mount, including flyers from an extremist website. Police arrested one activist and took him for questioning. The activist is familiar to police as one of the central figures in the extremist website “Our Temple Mount,” said Jerusalem police spokesman Ruby.

The flyer

Members of the Likud Caucus, along with its thousands of members, headed by Moshe Feiglin are hereby invited to arrive at Temple Mount and praise God, and declare that healthy leadership begins with total control over Temple Mount. Purify this place from the enemies of Israel, who rob lands, and build the Temple on the ruins of mosques. We need not be afraid!

    Feiglins? hmmm… what’s a “feiglin”? Could that be something like a kosher gremlin?

    Oh– wait a minit, I see, that’s his name. Well… could Feiglin be related to the renowned Feidelbaum, made famous by Redd Foxx’s Day At The Races?
    “And it’s Birdshit, on the rail… now it’s Vomit, coming up on the inside… …and fie-del-baum…

    The feigins are known as ‘feiglins’, collectively, because apparently they all look the same. The munchkins also come to mind. But they are skilled provocateurs, not that you need much skill in this situation.
