‘These are thinly veiled threats against the Jewish community based on lies about how Israel fulfills its responsibility for security on the Temple Mount,’ said CIJA, which added that the event was promoted by several anti-Israel groups, including Samidoun – an organization with ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Canadian-designated terrorist entity…”
