Did you know Jews are constantly “invading” and “defiling” the Al-Aqsa Mosque? At least that’s what the Palestinian Authority leaders want Palestinians to believe is happening when Jews visit the Temple Mount.
We often hear about "Israeli racism" - but this is what most Palestinians believe, that there is something in the Jewish person that in itself "defiles" their so-called holy site.
In a broadcast on official PA TV, PA shows footage of Jews at the Temple Mount while text on the screen warns viewers:
“The occupation’s forces and its settlers invade the Al-Aqsa Mosque
Jerusalem will not be defiled”

Palestinian Media Watch has exposed this antisemitic broadcast previously, as well as similar expressions, claiming that hordes of Jews are “invading” and “defiling” Muslim and Christian holy sites.
The PA and its leaders misrepresent all of the Temple Mount as an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Therefore, they vilify any presence of Jews on the mount as an "invasion."
It should be noted that Jews who visit the Temple Mount only enter some sections of the open areas, and do not enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock.
Israeli police ban Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount because of threats of violence by Palestinians.
