Palestinians must "thwart attempts to occupy it so it can be Judaised or controlled," [Barakeh] Taha said...Palestinians launched a counter-campaign to encourage their ranks to hold celebratory events like circumcision ceremonies and weddings at the site's mosque.

"The Ibrahimi Mosque is for the Muslims and the Palestinians, not for the Jews nor for the settlers and I'm proud to be getting married in this magnificent place," said Lubna al-Natsheh, Taha's 19-year-old bride.  "We will not abandon it," she vowed. "We will continue to come here and return one day with our children."

"It's the main benefit we've won."
