Arab T-Shirts “Threaten” Temple Mount In Israel
Image:gotplaid?Israeli police denied entry to a group of Muslim children trying to enter the Masjid Al-Aqsa compound in Jerusalem.
Known to many in the west as the Temple Mount, the summer camp children were banned because their t-shirts made reference to Al-Quds the Arabic name for Jerusalem. The incident took place on Tuesday but has only come to light now:
“A group of Arab summer camp children were banned from entering Temple Mount in Jerusalem while wearing their camp t-shirts.
When the children arrived at Temple Mount wearing their orange summer camp shirt, which read ”Al-Quds – Arab Culture Capital,’ police officers told them that if they wish to enter, the shirts must come off…
…Fuad Abu Hamed, whose son was among the children, told Ynet that “The officers held them up at the entrance to Temple Mount for more than an hour and a half, and demanded (all children) take off their shirts…including the ones who didn’t have an undershirt”.
The camp’s guides tried to diminish the sense of humiliation for the children wearing no undershirts and quickly purchased clothes for them in the Old City.
Hamed says his son returned home wearing only an undershirt.
“My son learned at a bilingual school, he speaks Hebrew well, and he was educated in lines with the values of coexistence and culture,” Hamed said. “Now he’s asking me: ‘What do the police want from us? Why do they have a problem with our shirts?‘” {Source: Ynet News}
Why should a t-shirt caused so much problem? If anyone from Israel knows I would be more than happy to hear from them.
