After stabbings, police bar Palestinians from Jerusalem’s Old City
Temple Mount access restricted; IDF said circling home of terror leader in Jenin as unrest persists in West Bank, capital
So, what do you guys think? Was this the right move in response to some Palestinian youths stabbing Israelis? As the article explains, Muslim men aged 50 and above plus Muslim women are allowed to pray on the Temple Mount. That seems to be the clearest possible statement that young Muslim men are the threat here (although the attackers have since been killed by Israeli security forces). Even then, Muslims will only be allowed in through the Lion Gate of the Old City, while average Israeli citizens and even tourists can go and do whatever they want.
This obviously is not a viable solution for the long term, but how much more often do you think we'll see Israeli policy tactics of segregation like this moving forward? I'm not judging them for enacting this policy, since people are scared and rightfully have no desire to get stabbed by some terrorist just for walking around minding their own business. However, this policy is also unsustainable, is it not?
