Al Aqsa preacher says there is a worldwide conspiracy to give the Temple Mount to the Jews

Al-Aqsa Mosque preacher Sheikh Ikrima Sabri spoke at a conference in Istanbul on Tuesday, where he made the usual antisemitic and ahistorical statements denying any Jewish history or rights in Israel.

“The occupation is trying to prevent the call to prayer, especially at dawn and evening, under the pretext that it disturbs the settlers who came to Palestine as strangers. They tried to prevent the call to prayer several times and failed. The call to God is Great will remain until the Day of Judgment. Whoever is disturbed by the call to prayer should leave, but we are rooted in our land and we are clinging to our rights," Sabri said.

One wonders how the call to prayer ever happened before electricity.

Then again, Sabri seems to say, the Palestinian cause is much younger than electricity.

"The steadfastness of the people of Palestine is a steadfastness of faith, and if the conspiracies that befell Palestine had affected other countries, they would have become extinct, but the Palestinian cause has remained for 100 years, because Al-Aqsa is in the heart of Palestine."

100 years! Since 1925! Wow, such a long time!

If Jews praying in their holiest site disturbs Sabri, by his own logic perhaps he should leave.

But he must stay to fight the latest worldwide conspiracy to help Jews:

"All current conspiracies target Al-Aqsa, even the Deal of the Century, which the US President (elect Trump) is calling for, aims to control Al-Aqsa and hand it over to the Jews," the preacher stated.

Second Temple "Trumpeting Stone"

He then added a standard Palestinian lie: "In the excavations under and around Al-Aqsa, the (Israelis) did not find a single stone related to the (alleged) temple or ancient Hebrew history. The claim is false and has no evidence, but they use unjust force to control Al-Aqsa." (Notice that the Hamas newspaper added "alleged" in parentheses, to ensure that no one thinks that Sabri believes that there ever was a Temple.)

We learned another thing from him: “The occupation authorities are restricting the Turks coming to Al-Aqsa, especially during the Gaza war, but I say do not give up, and try again and again, because you have the determination and loyalty to Al-Aqsa.”

This sounded unusual enough to be worth researching. What apparently happened is that Turks wanted to cause problems at the Mount and Israeli police got wind of it. They asked those with Turkish passports why they wanted to enter, and if they said it was to pray they would ask them to recite prayers for them. The ones that couldn't pray, or couldn't answer that they went there to pray, appear to be the ones who were restricted, meaning they were potential troublemakers and not worshipers. (I would guess that they tried to enter at the specific times Jews are allowed to visit.)

At any rate, Palestinian antisemitism is alive, well and stronger than ever.
