Young Muslim worshippers staying overnight in the mosque is not unique. This happens frequently during Ramadan. What is unique is the aggressive behavior of the Israeli police, who CHOSE to beat people inside the mosque, just as they chose to beat the peaceful horse whisperer in Tel Aviv and to destroy the ear of another peaceful protester in Tel Aviv. Why would you repeat the hasbara propaganda line that blames the people inside the mosque for the behavior of the police? This behavior is clear. The police need to learn how to deal with crowds and to restrain themselves when possible. Why was that night different from all other nights? Because the police raided the mosque and used violence. On all other nights, the police restrained themselves and so did the people in the mosque.
