7. There was a terrorist attack soon after Abbas's speech

Sat Jul 22, 2017, 11:57 AM

Jul 2017

A Jewish man, his son, and his daughter were stabbed to death. The terrorist posted on facebook that he did it because of the Temple Mount metal detectors.

There is nothing unusual about using metal detectors, they are used at the entrances to Mecca and Medina, and pretty much every other important religious site around the world.

The protests are now spreading worldwide, and Arab MKs are openly threatening violence.
