"Escalating violence". Let's break this down as to what happened, truthfully.
The Jewish Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, also contains the Dome of the Rock & al-Aksa mosque, both built after the death of Muhammed. It is the site of the 2 Jewish Temples, which is why

the 7thC Arabs who were ordered to invade, occupy & colonise Judea, built them: Islam is a supersessionalist religion, as is Christianity, not Judaism.
Even the pro-Nazi Haj Amin al-Husseini, in a 1924 pamphlet noted that it was "indisputably" the site of the Jewish Temples.

Jews, however, cannot ascend the Temple Mount when we wish & we are forbidden to pray, even silently, lest violence breaks out at the sight of a Jew in prayer. No other sovereign country would tolerate this situation, other than the Jewish state because we want peace. Is this a

A sign that Palestinian Arabs want peace with Jews?
Only Israel guarantees freedom of worship & protection of all holy sites.
When Jordan illegally occupied a part of Judea, 1948-67, following the invasion of 7 Arab armies intent on destroying nascent Israel in 1948, Jordan

renamed it, "West Bank", copying Emperor Hadrian, who wanted to erase Jewish history in 135, when he renamed Judea to "Palaestina" or Syria-Palaestina. Ignorant people therefore believe the propaganda that Jews have no historical link to the Land of Israel. Jordan destroyed

Dozens of synagogues, desecrated the Mount of Olives cemetery, 3,000 years old, forbade Jewish prayer at the Western Wall, ethnically cleansed Jews from Jerusalem & used snipers to shoot Jews.
Imagine what would happen if Israel forbade Muslims to pray in the al-Aksa mosque.

To claim falsely that Jews "stormed al-Aksa" is yet another lie to demonise & delegitimise Jews & Israel.
You are a Lib-Dem MP spouting untruths, lies. In the pictures, explain why Arabs desecrate al-Aksa with rocks, knives, weapons, fireworks, Molotov cocktails? Explain how

Setting fire to the Temple Mount is innocent behaviour. The truth is very different. Instead of Ramadan prayers, the Waqf, Arab members of Knesset & Hamas supporters inciting violence. The police had no alternative but to stop & contain the violence that included the targeting

Jews, attacking with rocks, knives & car ramming. Britain would not tolerate that behaviour but apparently, Israel does not have any right.
Hamas Facebook page & TV channel Awdah broadcast a video calling on Palestinians to “redeem Jerusalem with [their] lives” & calling for

people to “sacrifice for the sake of the Al-Aqsa Mosque until our last breath”.
PA daily published a call by Qalqilya District Governor Rafe’ Rawajbeh to “escalate the popular resistance” ( a term used by Palestinians which also refers to the use of violence and terror) in order

to “deter the occupation from carrying out its plans to Judaise the city.” Nablus Fatah declared “Let us set the ground on fire under the occupation’s feet.” Hamas official Fathi Hammad called on Palestinians to buy a knife for five shekels to “cut off the heads of the Jews”.

Why are you silent?
Hamas is committing war crimes twice over: deliberately trying to murder Israeli civilians & using Gaza civilians as hostages & human shields by siting missile batteries and other ammunition stores in & around blocks of flats, hospitals & schools. At least

200+ Hamas rockets aimed at Israel to murder their civilians have fallen on Gaza instead, killing at least three Gazan children. To say nothing of using children to dig terror tunnels, killing may Gaza children, sending them to "summer school" to learn how to kill Jews.

According to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, 53 Palestinians have died from Israeli bombardment since Monday night, including 14 minors & three women; 320 wounded. The IDF said more than half of those killed were members of terror groups involved in the fighting & some,

including several of the children, were killed by Hamas rockets that fell short and landed in Gaza.
Hamas strategy of siting its weapons among civilians, some civilian casualties from Israeli strikes are unavoidable. But it is clear that the Israelis go to lengths attempted by

no other country in the world to avoid them. They are using pinpoint, targeted operations designed to kill terrorists & degrade the ability of Hamas to continue to fire rockets at Israel.
As @COLRICHARDKEMP has noted: Israel does more to save lives of Gazan civilians than any

country. We drop hundreds of thousands of leaflets, we make thousands of cell calls & use "knock-on-roof" to force civilians to leave. But, Hamas threaten the Gazans to stay: ordering children to the roof knowing Israel will not fire back.
Most of their casualties, they say, are

Hamas & Islamic Jihad operatives. Yesterday, they reported killing 16 Hamas members, four top leaders, two lower-ranking commanders & 10 others.
According to IDF, military’s targets also included the home of a top Hamas commander, Hamas’s intelligence headquarters in southern

Gaza, 2 attack tunnels that approached the border with Israel, rocket production and storage sites, observation posts, military installations & launchpads. The IDF said it was also targeting terrorist operatives as they fired rockets or attempted to launch anti-tank missiles at

Israel.
Israel is once again being presented entirely falsely as the wanton aggressor. For example Sky News presenter @adamboultonSKY interviewed Israel’s ambassador to the UK, @TzipiHotovely
Boulton displayed ignorance, double standards, bias & aggression. He repeatedly tried

to pressurise her to acknowledge that Israel had “over-reacted.” Hotovely observed that a country had the right to protect its people against mass rocket attacks. Boulton said:
"Of course you can protect citizens. The question is the retaliation & the attacking of

civilians in Gaza and elsewhere; which, as we know, once again is leading to disproportionate suffering on the Palestinian side."
What is "proportionate" in a war between a sovereign country being bombarded by Iranian missiles from a genocidal, outlawed, antisemitic terrorist

Organisation, whose Charter explicitly calls for the annihilation of Israel & all the Jews: not just in Israel. Iran has promised "a second holocaust".
By all means explain, what Israel is supposed to do? Mr Boulton would have us do nothing at all. There is a wilful refusal to

Understand the meaning of "proportional" in international law. It doesn't mean if one side fires a rocket, the other side can only fire a rocket. Neither does it say that the death of civilians is a war crime, if everything that could be done, was done & that the military

Operation, justified the operation is not up to journalists or Mps of another country, so unsympathetic to a democratic country against terrorists supported by Iran & Qatar.
If Hamas stopped its attacks no-one would be killed, & the only reason any Palestinian children are being

killed was because the war is being waged by Hamas. The way Israel should respond to Hamas rockets aimed at the mass murder of Israelis, it seemed, was to do nothing. So what if Israeli kids were killed? The important thing was that no Palestinian kids would be killed, is what

you present. Yesterday, Nadim Awad & her father were killed by a rocket. They are Israeli Arabs!
Other countries which have suffered from terrorism haven’t been bombarded by 1200 rocket attacks in under two days, not to mention missile attacks over many years.

For weeks, Jews have been attacked by Arabs & recorded as the "Tik-Tok Intifada". The Arab MKs did not condemn these attacks but encouraged them, especially Ahmed Tibi, a doctor!
Apart from the Arab incitement, the other factor involved, is the "war between Abbas/PA & Hamas".

Abbas needed a excuse to cancel the elections because he knew he would lose. In fact, Egypt & Jordan asked him to cancel else Hamas would be officially in power in the "West Bank", something that Jordan does not want & relies on Israel for security!
Abbas therefore blamed Israel

Which allowed him to cancel & save his corrupt, kleptocracy.
Finally, Sheikh Jarrah, except it's Shimon HaTzaddik & the owners are Jews.
Remember, earlier about Jordan's illegal occupation, 1948-67? Jordan ethically cleansed the Jews & gave away Jewish property.
This dispute has

Been going on for 12 years. Israeli courts, including the very liberal Supreme Court, found in favour of the Jews, so guess what, out comes the lie of "discrimination"! You are right. It is discrimination against Jews. The squatters have no legal rights. The tenants were offered

"Protected Tenancy" in exchange for rent - you know, the same as in the UK, but Abbas/PA threatened these poor Arabs who just want to live in peace.
I can forward you the entire legal information.
The war against Jews never ends. Even when Jews report antisemitism, we are called

Liars! We are told we have "dual loyalty" but you, Layla Moran, will not be so accused. Even when a body of experts define antisemitism @TheIHRA out come those who want to remove certain points, so they cannot be called antisemitic, but that is another debate.
Just as Jews were

Called the most "evil" & be exterminated through 2,000 years of European antisemitism, so today, the Jew-among-the-Nations ie Israel, is presented as "the most evil" & must be annihilated, which is the meaning of "From the River to the Sea". BDS, as Norman Finkelstein admitted,

Means, "No Israel"!
Well, Jews have no where else other than a slip of land i what is Jewish Judea, which we share with 20% of our Arab citizens, who are the most free in the Middle East & equals. Let me introduce you to them:
