Jerusalem is the capital of the State Israel, just as Ottawa is the capital of Canada.  East Jerusalem was  until 1967 illegally occupied by Jordan.  People of all faiths are free to pray there now (which was not the case when it was under Jordanian occupation).  Israel is entitled to take measures it deems appropriate to prevent terror attacks against its residents of all faiths. Video clearly shows weapons being smuggled into a mosque and later used to murder 2 Arab-Israeli policemen.  Why would anyone care about increased security.  Many synanggues in Europe have metal detectors and others security checks.  This episode is simply a further excuse for terror and incitement.  Abbas is just another in a series of useless Palestinian leaders who will never achieve a state for their people because they are unwilling accept the Jewish State.
