What is it that Palestinians don’t want the world to see on the Temple Mount?

To end the hysteria that’s fueling Arab attacks on Israeli civilians, the United States, Jordan and Israel agreed to put cameras on the Temple Mount — a site holy to both Jews and Muslims — and monitor activity there. Secretary of State John Kerry called the idea “a game-changer.”

Then the Palestinian Authority came out against the cameras.

Why? Well, Palestinians claim Israel is taking over the site and barring Muslims from it. Cameras would expose those vile, incendiary lies — and also show Palestinians assaulting Israelis and smuggling rocks and pipebombs into the al-Aqsa Mosque there.

The PA all but admits it: It says Israel will use the video to “arrest Palestinians under the pretext of incitement.” Pretext? As Arab journalist Khaled Abu Toameh notes, the PA and others have hired thugs to harass Jewish visitors and police at the site.

Cameras will “expose” this “aggressive behavior,” Toameh writes. They’ll “show the world who is really ‘desecrating’ the Islamic holy sites” and using them to attack Jews.

They’ll also “refute the claim that Jews are ‘violently invading’ al-Aqsa Mosque and holding prayers at the Temple Mount,” he adds. Because Jews are doing no such thing.

Let everyone see reality, and you’d wreck the charade that’s fueled the violence. No wonder Israel wants the cameras pronto.

Toameh says all eyes are now on Kerry. If he refuses “to pressure the PA to stop its incitement,” then the “wave of knife attacks against Jews will continue.”

Kerry stand up to Palestinian terror? Ha! Now that would be “a game-changer.”
