Everybody knows that Israel is protecting Al-Aqsa better than any "wobbly" Arab regime or terrorist organization would.
The "Palestinian
problem" has never been so irrelevant. Throughout the Middle East, tens
of thousands of people have been killed and millions have been
displaced. Multitudes of refugees are pouring out of the Middle East and
Africa toward Europe's shores, hoping to join the Muslim enclaves that
have ominously arisen in European capitals.
The illusion that U.N.
recognition of the Palestinian flag and the EU's marking of settlement
goods will lead to the establishment of a terrorist state on Israel's
ruins has been washed away by the waves of refugees flooding into
Europe. Meanwhile, other artificial Arab nations are crumbling before
our very eyes.
Given this regional
disaster, the crazy notion held by idiots and anti-Semites that the
"Palestinian problem" is the root of all conflicts in the Middle East
and that solving it will lead to peace have fallen apart. The world is
witnessing the massacres, the rapes and selling of women into sex
slavery, and the destruction of churches, mosques and archaeological
sites carried out by Muslim Arabs, and it understands that this notion
is baseless.
Overshadowed by the
regional disaster, the Palestinian hope of getting the international
community to pressure Israel on the "right of return" for refugees has
become a pipe dream. No one is truly interested in the fabricated plight
of Palestinian refugees, which has been force fed to the world by UNRWA
and its ilk.
Therefore, Hamas, the
Palestinian Authority, and yes, the Joint Arab List, are all focusing on
how to answer this question: How do we return terrorism to its glory
days?
Since the rise of the
Zionist movement, the Palestinians have made a cynical use of the Temple
Mount in a bid to goad the Muslim world into an all-out war against
Israel. These days, the Palestinians are trying to use Al-Aqsa mosque as
a trigger to undermine Israel's legitimacy in Jerusalem and turn the
Islamists who are madly slaughtering each other against Israel instead.
However, the
Palestinians are having a hard time selling the "Al-Aqsa is in danger"
slogan, given the mass murder and destruction of mosques taking place
throughout the Middle East. Muslims are not abandoning their slaughter
of each other to turn their attention to Al-Aqsa. Everybody knows that
Israel is protecting Al-Aqsa better than any "wobbly" Arab regime or
terrorist organization would.
Since it was defeated
by the Israeli military in Operation Protective Edge, Hamas' military
and economic hardships have grown. Even though it was Hamas that fired
rockets toward Al-Aqsa during Operation Protective Edge, Hamas leader
Khaled Mashaal and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had the nerve
to claim, during a meeting in Turkey, that "Israel is using the regional
disaster to eliminate Al-Aqsa mosque."
At the same time, Hamas
is trying to incite violence in Jerusalem, using Islamic Movement
subcontractors. With its cells in Judea and Samaria having been crushed,
the ground is burning under Hamas' feet. The rehabilitation of Hamas'
depleted terrorist infrastructure does not interest the throngs of angry
protestors in Gaza, who are demanding homes, electricity, gas, food and
jobs.
Members of the
Palestinian Authority are also taking part in the incitement to violence
regarding the Temple Mount, but to no avail. Islamic clerics (and the
Palestinians) know very well that the Qibla (direction of Muslim prayer)
was changed from Jerusalem to Mecca, Muhammad's "night journey"
(according to his wife Aisha) was only "a sacred dream," and it is not
certain if Muhammad even ever visited Jerusalem.
Islamic historiography
tells us that when Caliph Omar arrived at the Temple Mount in 637 C.E.,
he knew that the Foundation Stone situated in the center of the Temple
Mount was where the First and Second Jewish Temples once stood.
Every Muslim knows that,
according to the Quran -- the holiest religious text of Islam --
Jerusalem and its environs will forever remain the inheritance of the
children of Israel. Palestinian terrorism has no power to change God's
word. But, just to be safe, the Israel Police are deployed in Jerusalem
to remind those who try to defy the word of God.
