In August 15, 1929, militant Zionist groups paraded in the vicinity of Al-Buraq Muslim Wall, which Jews believed since long times to be their Wailing Wall, in the first political demonstration of its kind after the British occupation of Palestine in 1918. 
Under the British invaders, Palestine witnessed a process of mass Jewish immigration and colonization. The Mandate uthorities encouraged Zionists to build some 60 Jewish colonies in less than a dozen of years, from 1918 to 1929.
As a result of those grave developments, especially the Zionist political demonstration at Wailing Wall stirred Palestinian susceptibility and tolled the bills of an impending catastrophe.
Consequently the first Palestinian revolution erupted in the face of the Zionist attempt to mess with Haram al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary) and its Western Wall, a Muslim property the seventh century when two Umayyad Caliphs, Abdul Melik and his son Walid built the magnificent Mosque of the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque, which both constitute Haram Sharif. The Ottomans and previous Muslim rulers allowed Jews to visit and practice their prayers at Walling Wall without changing the legal status of the Muslim holy places allowed Jews.
A British-appointed Commission of Inquiry, with the approval of the Council of the League of Nations, reported rightfully on Zionist instigated violence in the aftermath of the first political militant demonstration by Zionist groups of August 15, 1929 “ the Arabs have come to see in Jewish immigration not only a menace to their livelihood but a possible overlord of the future.”
The Commission concluded that the ownership of the Western Wall belonged solely to Muslims and it formed an integral part of Haram Sharif. Unfortunately, Israel occupation of Arab East Jerusalem in June 1967 encouraged extremist Jewish groups, as Faithfuls of the Temple, to blackmail Muslim worshippers from time to time, threatening to demolish al-Haram and build the third Temple. Moreover, occupation troops surround the Mosque of al-Aqsa every Friday, harassing Muslim worshippers and not letting in anyone who is under certain age or not holding Israeli ID.
Zionists used metaphysical religious myths and the holy places in Jerusalem as fig- leaf to hide their evil designs and insatiable appetite for devouring all the Arab lands in historic Palestine never mind how indigestible they are.
