this year in al-Quds

Look at this YNET article on Jerusalem police officers making East Jerusalem
Palestinian kids take off their "offensive" t-shirts before going to
the Temple Mount.

A group of Arab summer camp children were banned from entering Temple Mount in Jerusalem while wearing their camp t-shirts.

When the children arrived at Temple Mount wearing their orange
summer camp shirt, which read ''Al-Quds – Arab Culture Capital," police
officers told them that if they wish to enter, the shirts must come
off.

[Weiss: great that the headline from Ynet talks about their "humiliation"; good reporting by Tal Rabinovsky] Between yesterday's bigotry directed toward Haredi (check out the police chief's quote about Haredi: very similar to
statements about Arabs and Muslims.  He had some others but they may
have been taken out of earlier versions of the riot stories.  Jerry Haber notes the attitude in his post today)  and today's bigotry directed
toward Palestinian kids, the Jerusalem Police Force should soon be
quoted by Israeli and SQL leaders as  "the most moral police force in
the world."
