PA Official Claims Temple Mount is Not Jewish
Top PA officials continue to deny Israel's connection to Judaism's most sacred spot in the world - the Temple Mount. The latest to do so is Ahmed Qurei, known also as Abu Ala, who has led and continues to lead Palestinian Authority negotiations with Israel. In a small media briefing this past Wednesday, Qurei said, "Israeli occupation authorities are trying to find a so-called Jewish historical connection between Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, but all these attempts will fail. The [Temple Mount] is 100 percent Muslim."
"The world must be mobilized against all these Israeli attempts to change the symbols and signs of Jerusalem," Qurei said. "There was no so-called Jewish Temple. It's imaginary. Jerusalem is 100 percent Muslim."
based on Aaron Klein of WorldNetDaily.com.
But whay was more interesting or astounding than the above hogwash, was that Klein writes that he was one of three journalists present for the briefing and that of the others, an Arab affairs correspondent for a major Israeli newspaper chose not to publish the remarks while the reporter for PA newspaper Al-Ayyam did.
