And so it begins ... again.

Provoke passion, get desired response, play the victim card...

On Friday, Israeli police prevented young Palestinian men from praying at a holy site in Jerusalem, and Israel’s military imposed a general ban on travel by Palestinians from the West Bank into Israel. The security crackdown comes after recent clashes following Friday prayers in Jerusalem.

The Associated Press reported that police will only allow Palestinian women and Palestinian men over 50 years of age to pray on Friday at the Jerusalem holy site Jews (sic) known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount.

The closings did not ensure calm though.

No kidding.

Read the whole thing? Because when the bloody response comes, we always seem to forget how these things got started...

Celebrate good times, c'mon!
