Israeli soldier opens the barred entry to the Temple Mount for religious Jews in Fatah cartoon

Cartoon and text posted on the official Fatah Facebook page

Posted text: “You will not pass”

The cartoon shows an armed Israeli soldier with a large nose and a Star of David on his helmet pulling aside the red slash in the center of a gate depicted as a “prohibition symbol” in front of the Dome of the Rock, allowing three ultra-Orthodox Jews with Stars of David on their hats to pass through the symbol to the Temple Mount.

The cartoon, which was posted on Tisha B’Av (see note below) on Aug. 11, 2019, apparently refers to how Israel initially banned entry to the Temple Mount for Jews that day, before later retracting the ban and allowing entry.
