Arab League claims Israel spending $17b to "Judaize" Jerusalem

From Egypt Independent:

Israel has earmarked US$17 billion for the Judaization of Jerusalem, the holy city which both Palestinians and Israelis insist on as the capital of their states, an Arab League official said Monday.

“The attack on Jerusalem is very overwhelming ... Israel is in control of prayers at al-Aqsa Mosque,” Mohamed Sobeih, Assistant of the Arab League secretary general for Palestinian affairs, told Palestinian Al-Ray news agency. He urged for the immediate application of Jerusalem-related resolutions in consecutive Arab, Islamic and UN summits.

Just to give some perspective, the entire budget of Israel's government is about $70 billion.

The budget of Jerusalem's municipality is less than half a billion dollars.

You could give every man, woman and child in Jerusalem $20,000 and still have more left over than the current Jerusalem budget.

Too bad that there does not seem to be a single Arab who is willing to publicly call this guy an idiot. Because in a normal, healthy society, lies like this have consequences; but in the Arab world, they are swallowed whole.
