Elder of Ziyon
The Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Committee of the Palestinian Legislative Council issued a statement about Jews who plan to visit the Temple Mount on Tisha B'Av Sunday, the fast day that commemorates the destruction of the Temples that were built on the site now dominated by several huge mosques meant to erase Jewish history.
In a time when Americans are upset over the terminology "invaders" referring to illegal immigrants, this official PLO committee refers to Jews who want to visit their holiest site as "Zionist rapists."
They wrote three bullet points:
First: This Zionist obsession, and disregard for the feelings of millions of Muslims in the world, stems from the state of humiliation and shameful normalization led by some corrupt Arab regimes.That third point sure sounds like incitement to terror.
Secondly: We call on our people in the West Bank, Jerusalem and inside the occupied territories to travel to the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the first day of Eid, and to consider it as a remarkable day in the days of Allah.
Third: We call on the Palestinian resistance to establish a new equation (i.e. balance of power vis-a-vis Israel) that will protect the holy places, and cut off any hand that is stretched out towards (the holy places) with evil (intentions)."
The Mufti of Jerusalem added to the incitement, making up a lie that Jews have demanded to enter the doors of the actual Al Aqsa Mosque - a complete fiction.
The Mufti, Mohammed Hussein, said "our people will not stand idly by" as Jews visit the site.
Supreme Islamic Commission Sheikh Ekrema Sabri called on Muslims to go en masse to the site on Sunday and effectively called on them to fight any Jews who ascend there, saying "Whoever plays with fire will be burned by fire."
