The ascension to Temple Mount will turn the political argument between the Palestinians and Israelis in a religious war between Muslims and Jews. As long as the occupation continues, the Jews ascending are doing so as conquerors, and not as guests or visitors. In the future, when the occupation will end and there will be a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, the Jews and members of all other religions will be able to visit Al Aqsa mosque under our rule and under conditions set by the Palestinians..
-- Palestinian Minister of Holy Sites Mahmoud Al-Habash

Well, at least we know where he stands on the issue (once again, only the Jews are to blame - and for exercizing their right to pray/visit their own holiest site)!
ReplyDeleteThen again, I didn't really expect much else from him.

oh yeah like Hebron used to be when the British were in charge...
ReplyDeleteThis is real chutzpah. IT'S NOT YOUR HOUSE! It's OUR house...this is typical of the Palestinians' denying Jewish history by denying that there were Jewish Temples long before the mosques were there and that Jews have no history there.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the world (not just the Muslims, Arabs, and Palestinians) should think about one question: Why do you think, of all the areas in the world, the Jews insist on THIS particular land, in the midst of hostile populations, to have a homeland? The answer, of course, is that it is OUR land, and no obfuscation of the issue will change that. G-d willing, soon enough this will become apparent to the entire world.
