It took years any many court cases. The Jewish community offered to work with the Hebron municipality on the design, only to be refused. The elevator will be available to Jews and Muslims. Up until today, people who are wheelchair bound had to be literally carried up in order to see the holy site.
In other words, this is a no-brainer.
Except - anything Jews do is automatically awful.
Palestine Today describes it this way:
The attempts of the “ Israeli ” occupation to Judaize in the Ibrahimi Mosque in the city of Khalil al-Rahman never stops. The installation of the metal structure of the electric elevator comes within the framework of strengthening the comprehensive Jewish grip on the city, including the Ibrahimi Mosque , and transforming the Islamic aspect into a Jewish one.
The Mufti of Jerusalem also says this is a Judaization crime:
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian territories and the preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, affirmed that the occupation authorities yesterday removed parts of the Ibrahimi Mosque, the “White Staircase”, as a “racist Judaization crime.”In a press statement, Sheikh Hussein said: "What is happening comes within the framework of the occupation authorities' plans to change the landmarks of the archaeological site and complete the "electric elevator" project, which it intends to build to serve the settlers' incursions."He explained that these measures of the occupation authorities lead to depriving Palestinian citizens of performing their religious rites in their mosques....
The funny thing is that the exact types of people who support disability rights will be the ones who are the most adamantly against this.
In the hierarchy of social justice issues, Jew-hate is at the top.
