Treason. “MK Sarsour calls Muslims to free J’lem,” by Sheera Claire Frenkel for the Jerusalem Post:
MK Ibrahim Sarsour (UAL-TA’AL) drew the ire of right-wing
Knesset members on Sunday when he called for “Muslims and Arabs” to
“liberate Jerusalem.
Speaking at the “Jerusalem First” conference in Ramallah, the lawmaker emphasized the importance of Jerusalem to Islam, and called on participants to “act together to become a torrent on the road to liberation.”
“Just as the Muslims once liberated Jerusalem from the
Crusaders, so must we today believe that we can liberate Jerusalem. It is not an impossible dream,” he said.
MK Muhammad Barakei (Hadash) accused Israel of trying to “empty Jerusalem of its Palestinian inhabitants.” Calling Jerusalem a “national issue, not just a religious issue,” he called on Palestinians to take cohesive, immediate action to “reclaim the city.”
