100 years ago: "Al Aqsa is in danger!!!!"
In the light of the stupidity of this past weekend, where masses of Israel haters all chose to believe the same absurd lie that Jews planned to take over the Temple Mount, I found this article quoting Herbert Samuel refuting the exact same lie - in 1922.
Then, as now, the rumors are spread by antisemites - in that case, by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem whose Jew-hatred was explicit and cannot be denied. Today, it is by the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Jordanian lawmakers and others whose equally obvious antisemitism is routinely denied by the oh-so-woke people of today.
