Who wants to erase history? 1960 Jordanian tourist map of Jerusalem erases all Jewish sites

In late 2017, Jordan's King Abdullah said, "Attempts to Judaize Jerusalem and to change its identity will bring additional violence and extremism."

Jordanians and Palestinian leaders regularly accuse Israel of attempting to erase Christian and Muslim history in Jerusalem, saying they will "defend" the holy sites of both religions from Israeli attempts to, presumably, destroy or erase them.

As is so often the case with Arab accusations against Israel, this is projection of what they have done and would do, not what Israel does.

Here is a Jordanian tourist map from 1960 of the Old City of Jerusalem.


The Kotel (Western Wall) - erased.
The Temple Mount is replaced with "Haram Esh Sharif" even though Christian tourists would be interested in the Mount.
The Jewish Quarter - erased. Along with its street names.

We have a track record of how Arabs act when they control Jerusalem and other ancient Jewish towns. And they are guilty of everything they falsely accuse Israel of doing.

Every single time.
