Arabs menace Jewish group on Temple Mount

Protesters chant slurs and hold up three fingers in show of support for kidnapping of three Israeli teens

Hundreds of Arabs chanting anti-Jewish epithets surrounded a group of Jews who ascended the Temple Mount Wednesday.

Many of the Arabs also held up three fingers, a triumphant sign of the three kidnapped Israeli teens, during Wednesday’s incident.

Muslim children at a summer camp accosted the group before they were then joined by adults in a confrontation that was recorded by onlookers.

The video was posted to a YouTube account on the Internet on Wednesday.

The Jewish group’s visit had been authorized by security officials at the Temple Mount.

Police officers attempted to separate the groups, and then escorted the Jewish group from the site, according to Israel National News.
