These photos of palestinian kids celebrating in Gaza emerged yesterday.

Many of you won’t be shocked – we see these types of photos all the time, so we have become desensitized to them to a large extent.
But what if I told you that they are not from Gaza after all.

This is happening on the Temple Mount! (I guess this is considered respectful attire on a declared Muslim holy site). In the meantime, if a Jew goes up there and moves their lips in what looks like prayer, he or she is arrested.
What’s more, this is how they are celebrating Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan. So while there are those who would like to pretend this is not a religious conflict, I’d suggest watch what the other side says and does more closely.
Update: More photos.
