Why Do Arab Fanatics Get so Much Credence?

Israeli road workers start repairing a pedestrian ramp leading to Temple Mount in Jerusalem that had been previously damaged by an earthquake and a snowstorm. The work is being done above ground and is 200 feet away from the nearest Moslem Mosque.

Local Arab fanatics falsely accuse the Israeli workers of undermining the al Aksa Mosque.

The Israeli Government stoutly denies any such malevolent intent or activity.

The Arab fanatics incite young Arabs. They throw stones, bottles and trash at Israelis.

Moslem Governments (Egypt, Jordan and Indonesia) side with the Arab fanatics and demand that Israel stop repairing the ramp.
