Elder of Ziyon
As Arab media marks the 50th anniversary of the arson attack by Australian Christian Denis Michael Rohan there is a lot of analysis to blame Israel.
This one from Al Resalah in English is similar to the Arabic articles out there.
On August 21, 1969, the Al-Aqsa Mosque was burned, the first of the two Islamic Qibla and the third major mosque that attracts the traveler. The Zionist entity claimed that a young Australian named Dennis Michael Rohan carried it out, but this incident came within the framework of a series of actions carried out by the Zionist occupation since 1948 with the aim of obliterating the Islamic civilization identity of the city of Jerusalem.The Golda Meir quote is, of course, a complete fabrication.
Golda Meir, then Prime Minister of the Zionist entity, said after the incident; "I did not sleep all night, I was afraid that the Arabs could enter Israel in big groups from everywhere, but when the sun rose the next day I knew that we can do anything we want!"
These words were the key to Zionist barbarism in the occupied territories.
It has been mentioned in other Arab newspapers . It is even listed as a "famous quote" in the Arabic Wikipedia page for Golda Meir (without a footnote.)
If there is ever to be peace, the Arab side has to learn to distinguish between truth and falsehood. They argue with complete conviction the most absurd lies, but too many in the West believe the conviction and don't bother to check the facts.
