Saudi paper: Never any Jews in Jerusalem; Israel using Zionism to take over world

Al Bilad, one of Saudi Arabia's oldest newspapers, has an article by Dr. Ghazi Hussein, former PLO envoy to Austria.

Jerusalem is one of the most important holy places that has been associated with the Arabs, Muslims and Christians throughout the ages. Jerusalem is the symbol of the nationalism and holy to Christianity and Islam, the first Qiblah [direction of Muslim prayer] and Islam's third holiest site and the City of Flowers and the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the birthplace of Jesus Christ and the essence of the question of Palestine Arab-Zionist conflict.

Jerusalem occupies a central position among the Arabs for its historical and religious have and to Muslims all over the world.

Arabs were the first to build the foundations of the city around 3000 BC....

The Islamic conquest of Jerusalem came during the reign of Caliph Omar ibn al-Khattab may Allah be pleased with him; when it was liberated by the Romans it had no single Jew in it.

The Patriarch of the city of Damascus signed a declaration to the caliph that Jerusalem was not inhabited by Jews.

Jews used their ambitions for the Arab land and their wealth to settle it with colonialism to serve the interests of Jewish Jerusalem saying that it had special significance to them. The rabbis and leaders of the Zionist movement cemented these allegations and superstition and greed in the minds of Jews, despite the absence of any impact of religion on the city from them at all.

The founder of Zionism Theodor Herzl supported brutality and barbarism in his books in which he says: "If we got one day to Jerusalem and I was still alive and able to do anything, we will remove and burn everything that is not holy to Jews."

The Zionist founders mockingly used the Jewish religion as a sharp weapon in the Judaization of Palestine and for hegemony over the Middle East as a prelude to world domination. And therefore they used it for the success of the colonial Jewish settlement in Palestine and to convert settler colonialism as a center of Jewish worldviews and created the illusion that Jerusalem is the capital of the occupiers.

The clear Jewish ambitions in the city of Jerusalem can be seen in the Jewish Encyclopedia, which said that they aim to control of Jerusalem and to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque: "the Jews wanted to go to Jerusalem and overcome the power of the enemy, and establish their own temple there. "

Don't forget - Saudis are "moderate."

Ghazi Hussein is also a Holocaust-denier, which makes him well-suited to be an honored writer for the Arabic press.

I can confidently predict that no one in the Arabic-speaking world  - no professors of history at a single Arab university - will write a response to this article pointing out its absurd lies.
