The latest version of the libel comes from a "secret five point plan" from Israel that Islamic Jihad's Palestine Today has allegedly uncovered.
The five points are:
- Weakening the walls of Al-Aqsa, in preparation for their downfall or demolition, by emptying the land areas from below.
- Continuation of the excavations under the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which weakens the walls of the mosque.
- Impeding any attempt to restore the walls.
- Causing stones to fall from Al-Aqsa Mosque and its walls.
- The great danger that threatens Al-Aqsa and its walls at the present time, which threatens collapse all the time.
All five points sound similar to me, but when it is presented as a five point plan, it sounds much more legitimate, like they found a document or something. Of course, the exact same charges that Israeli excavations are meant to weaken and destroy Al Aqsa have been claimed for decades as well.
So, why haven't the Jews destroyed Al Aqsa yet?
Must be because the brave Muslims have been "defending" it!
That is the narrative for over a hundred years - and I have yet to see any Palestinian say, if they wanted to destroy it, they would have done it by now.
