Jewish extremists and the Temple Mount
Here is how you make things worse in Israel:
Jewish extremists are plotting to take over the Temple Mount in an attempt to thwart Israel's withdrawal from Gaza, an Israeli TV station has reported.
Channel Two showed a video of the plotters, including rabbis and far-right extremists, in a meeting to discuss ways to occupy the holy site.
The Temple Mount is known as the Haram al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary) to Muslims.
The meeting took place at a secret location in the Old City of Jerusalem, the TV station said.
It involved representatives from 30 different groups.
Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei has appealed to Israel to stop any action against the compound.
"We warn that the region will explode if there is any attack against al-Aqsa," Mr Qurei told reporters.
Large numbers of Israeli police were deployed around the Temple Mount compound in mid-February for fear of an attack by Jewish extremists.
Just goes to show that not all religious fanatics are Muslims.
