IDF orders 3-week ban 'to maintain public peace and order;' Ra'ad Salah will be able to appeal order.

It is easy to mock, or worse, react angrily, to the seeming absurdities of an Al-Aqsa rally. A more constructive response might be to avoid further provocations in East Jerusalem and the West Bank and to step up efforts to empower the Arab citizens of Israel, economically and otherwise.

Just as a rapist does not have the right to discuss carrying out his nefarious scheme, and the robber cannot haggle over the conditions under which he will return his loot, the occupier, the taskmaster, the jack-booted soldier and the exploiter cannot discuss the conditions under which they will carry out their deeds.

Head of movement's northern chapter said Jerusalem clashes wouldn't end until Israel's 'occupation' is lifted.
