Abbas' Presidential Guards page edits PA flag onto Kotel

From Palestinian Media Watch:

Last week, the official Facebook page of Mahmoud Abbas' Presidential Guard posted a picture of the Western Wall with a Palestinian flag superimposed on it.

Text on the flag:
"The Al-Buraq Wall"
(Muslim term for the Western Wall of the Temple Mount)

Text on picture:
"Public Relations and Information - The Presidential Guard"
"Palestinian youth know their rights"

Palestinian Media Watch has documented that the Palestinian Authority rejects that the Western Wall, the remnant of the Temple Mount destroyed by Rome in the year 70 CE, is a Jewish holy site, and claims it as an exclusively Islamic holy site.
