PA daily describes Jewish celebrations of Hanukkah and visits to the Temple Mount as “invasions” and “riots;” Jewish history at site called “lie of the alleged Temple”
Headline: "Dozens of settlers invade the Al-Aqsa Mosque and riot before its gates"
"Dozens of settlers invaded the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque yesterday [Dec. 4, 2018] in small groups… The settlers listened to the guides' explanations about the lie of the alleged Temple, and a few settlers tried to hold Talmudic (i.e., Jewish) ceremonies. The settlers from the alleged Temple gangs rioted last night and held Talmudic ceremonies for what is called the Festival of Lights, Hanukkah, in front of the gates of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. Groups of settlers lit a Hanukkah menorah (i.e. Jewish candelabra) a few meters from the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the direction of the Lion's Gate. They drank wine at the pure threshold of the mosque, while dancing and singing for the alleged Temple."
The PA and its leaders consider all of the Temple Mount an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Therefore they view any presence of Jews on the mount as an "invasion." It should be noted that Jews who visit the Temple Mount only enter some sections of the open areas, and do not enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock. Israeli police ban Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount because of threats of violence by Palestinians.
