Palestinian "experts" explain Shavuot as a pagan holiday now celebrated to provoke Muslims

Felesteen reports that some Jewish groups are asking Israel to allow them to visit the Temple Mount on Friday, which is the holiday of Shavuot. On normal Fridays the Temple Mount is off-limits to Jews and the chances seem pretty low that they would be successful, but that request is causing alarm to the Palestinian Arabs who demand the holy site be Judenrein all the time.

The Hamas-linked newspaper then asked "experts" what Shavuot is about, anyway.

And we then see some epic Palsplaining.

Fakhri Abu Diab, who is a popular pundit in Palestinian media, said "the occupation uses religious occasions as a pretext, to try to exclude Muslims from the mosque, and they want to prove a false narrative, in an attempt to find a link between the Jewish holidays and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, so that the world is brainwashed with a false history."

He said that the "Talmudists" claim Shavuot is the day the Torah was revealed, pointing out that “this biblical holiday has nothing to do with Al-Aqsa Mosque and has no spatial connection with it, and they claim that the Torah was in a place called the Holy of Holies, inside the Temple, to prove their entitlement to Al-Aqsa Mosque, and to provoke the feelings of Muslims."

Abu Diab then noted that Shavuot is a harvest festival, and "the Talmudics eat only vegetables and dried fruits, cheese and dairy products on this day." 

He added that "the settlers are trying during this day to enter the area wearing priestly clothing, claiming that the priests were taking crops and milk on this day, following the revelation of the Torah inside the Temple Mount." 

"The intensification of the raids, under the pretext of celebrating religious occasions, is a plan to get the Jerusalem Arab and Islamic street accustomed to these incursions and the Jewish presence in Al-Aqsa Mosque, and it is part of an attempt to impose rituals, agenda, and biblical narratives on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque," he asserted.

Abu Diab continued,  "This holiday is derived from paganism and the Roman civilization that existed thousands of years ago," 

Hey, he's the expert!
