War Is Deceit, said the prophet of Islam.
“NGO: PA lying about Jews’ ties to J’lem,” by Etgar Lefkovits in the Jerusalem Post, May 21 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):
The Palestinian Authority has unleashed an “unprecedented barrage of lies” negating Judaism’s connection to Jerusalem, as part of a ongoing campaign to undermine the Jewish connection to the capital, an Israeli media watchdog group said on Thursday.
“Jerusalem is presented as a Muslim city, with no regard for historical reality,” the Palestinian Media Watch report said. “Mention is made of the importance of Jerusalem for Christians, but Judaism has no place in the city.”
The report, which was made public as Israel celebrated the 42nd anniversary of the reunification of the capital, cites top Muslim religious leaders in the city, ministers from the Fatah-run PA government in the West Bank as well as official Palestinian television denying any Jewish connection to Jerusalem.
Recently, Palestinian leaders have been defining all of Israel, and particularly Jerusalem, as land which Muslims have a religious obligation to hold on to, and which must be liberated for Islam, the report found.
In addition, the PA is continuing to pursue an “alarmist” campaign of “denunciation and demonization” by presenting as fact the “incendiary libel” that Israel is trying to destroy the Aksa Mosque as part of a “Judaization” of the city, the report said….
And the UN, to its everlasting shame, abets this demonization.
