Palestinians riot as police limits access to Jerusalem Old City amid pandemic

[IsraelTimes] Clashes are reported between Paleostinians and police in and around Jerusalem’s Old City and at least one arrest was made, as Friday prayers on the Temple Mount went ahead while authorities tried to limit the number of worshipers due to the coronavirus

...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
emergency measures currently in place.

The outdoor areas of the holy site, known to Moslems as the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, were open to Friday prayers even as most other major Moslem shrines around the world were shuttered amid the pandemic. Worshipers gathered in small groups, but rain forced them to gather in sheltered spots in violation of Health Ministry rules.

Meanwhile,
...back at the hoedown, the fiddler suddenly struck a sour note. The dancing stopped abruptly. Everyone looked at Bob...
many Paleostinians staged often-violent mass protests outside the Old City after police prevented them from reaching the site and closed the Old City doors to anyone except local residents.
In the current world environment, Paleos acting up should expect to get hurt. Badly.
Police used riot-control methods to disperse the crowd.

#1 The scary thing that they'll soon have thousands of Covid-19 cases, overwhelming Israel's medical facilities. Well, maybe Israeli Gov will use the crisis to, finally, stop their access to our hospitals (If Germans could stop the flow of gimme-migrants...).

#2 Israel needs to stop Paleo use of their hospitals. There comes a time when Israeli humanitarianism becomes viewed as a source of weakness by the Paleos. There is or should be a price to pay for bad behavior.

#3 Totally agree with comments #1 and #2. It is madness to continue as if nothing has changed.

#4 How about they can do what they want but no help from Israel if they get sick.
