“Visit Palestine” erases Jews from Jerusalem

The Visitpalestine.ps website is a tourist site for people who want to pretend Israel doesn’t exist. That’s fine – they can emphasize whatever they want on their tours.

But when they create a map of the Old City of Jerusalem and erase virtually all evidence of Jews from Jerusalem, that is a different matter.

Their map has a key to supposedly find synagogues, but the only synagogue in the entire Old City is at the Kotel according  to them. The only tourist sites in the Jewish Quarter are – two mosques.

Of course, there are many major synagogues in the Old City, and not only in the Jewish Quarter.

Not acknowledging Israel’s existence is one thing, but pretending that there is no Jewish presence in Jerusalem beyond the “Al Buraq Wailing Wall” shows yet again that their supposed anti-Zionism is something much more ancient.
