Egyptian Nour party chairman says Zionism is only about destroying Al Aqsa

Arab media is reporting that Dr. Younes Makhioun, Chairman of Egypt's Nour Party, has a new theory of what Zionism is all about.

The salafist said that the Jews did not come to Palestine as a place to live, but they came using the doctrine of Zionism and biblical prophecy seeking to achieve control of Jerusalem, which the Zionists called the Promised Land, according to him. Then their goal was to demolish the Al-Aqsa Mosque and build the Temple of Solomon in its place.

He did not explain why Israel didn't do this yet.

Makhioun the Islamist added that Jews do not accept debate or bargaining or negotiation, which is a doctrine inherent in Jews, to "torpedo all peace dreams and peaceful co-existence".
