| ???? "Palestinian philosopher and member of the Fatah Advisory Council, Ahmed Ghneim, called to adopt what he referred to as a program for the Palestinization of Jerusalem as well as a clear Palestinian world-view for dealing with the program of Israelization which Israel is carrying out in Jerusalem? This was during a conference held by the Ministry of Information in Qalqilya yesterday evening? Ahmed Ghneim spoke about the historical background of Jerusalem? Ghneim reviewed the repeated efforts of the Zionist movement to seek a legend that would draw Jews throughout the world, and turn them from a religion into a nation? He noted that the insistence on declaring Jerusalem the eternal capital [of the Jewish people] means that the war is a religious war, even though Israel has no right to Jerusalem ? not religiously, not legally, not politically, and not historically." |

Official PA daily: Israel "still attempting to Judaize Arab Jerusalem"?

Headline: "At the hands of extremist Jew Michael Dennis ? today is 42nd anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Mosque being set on fire"
???? "August 21st every year is a sad anniversary for the Palestinian people and for the Arab and Islamic nations ? the anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Mosque being set on fire by the extremist Jew from Australia, Michael Dennis?
This criminal act caused serious responses in the Islamic world, and demonstrations broke out everywhere. One of the ramifications of this crime was the establishment of the Islamic Conference Organization, to which all the Islamic countries belong? But the organization has not succeeded in stopping the activities of destruction and defilement of Al-Aqsa to this very day?
From even before Al-Aqsa was set on fire, and until today, the Israeli authorities are trying via different ways and means to harm the Mosque, by excavating under it and building adjoining tunnels, which has led to the destruction of the Mosque's foundations at the Jerusalem Shrine (i.e., the Temple Mount).
The Israeli authorities are still attempting to Judaize Arab Jerusalem, and are always trying to hide [from view] the Dome of the Rock, regarded by the world as the symbol of Arab Jerusalem, in a pitiful attempt to convince the world that Jerusalem is not Arabic but rather Jewish. Likewise, they continue to incite against Muslims, and no one can rule out the possibility that some new Jewish 'madman' will set fire to the Mosque again."Note: The fire in the Al-Aqsa Mosque in 1969 was started by a deranged Australian Christian, but the Palestinian Authority has attributed it to Israel for years. |

The name of the historic Solomon?s Cave was changed to 'Yahu?s Cave' and Sultan Suleiman Street changed to Yahu Street, within the framework of judaizing the names of streets and monuments in occupied Jerusalem - removing their Arabic names and replacing them with Hebrew ones in order to negate the Palestinian heritage of the city.
Israeli crews also removed many olive trees in the context of changing features of the area and giving it a Talmudic character according to plans made public by the Israeli municipality. The plans include the establishment of Talmudic parks in areas adjacent to the historical Wall of Jerusalem, where there is currently accelerated work near Herod's Gate, while renaming the Umayyad palaces south of Al-Aqsa mosque as 'The Temple Cleansers,' referring to the alleged temple that a large group of extremist Jewish organizations has sought to build in place of Al-Aqsa Mosque." |

The Israeli government announced that during the session it would approve a government plan for the Judaization of Jerusalem? Participants in the execution of the plan, along with the Israeli government, are the occupation municipality in Jerusalem and the so-called Jerusalem Development Authority.
The [Israeli Arab] Al-Aqsa Institute for Islamic Trusts and Heritage emphasized in a statement which it issued that ?this allocation, along with the regular high budget and other special allocations? proves that the Israeli establishment is trying and seeking to Judaize Jerusalem in its entirety??
The Al-Aqsa Institute noted: ?The occupation is acting to Judaize the Arab and Islamic landmarks in Jerusalem, and seeks to erase and conceal many of them. Also, it seeks to expel the Palestinians from their land and from their homes, and to strangle the Palestinian economy. In addition, the occupation seeks to accelerate settlement in Jerusalem and to Judaize the immediate surroundings of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and especially the Al-Buraq [Western Wall] area.?

???? ?Minister of Religious Affairs, Mahmoud Habbash, said that the Islamic holy places and houses of worship have been subjected, over the past 2 months, to more than 30 attacks carried out by the occupation [Israel] and its settlers.
In a report published yesterday on the subject of Israeli attacks and violations against sites holy to Islam, houses of worship, and Waqf [Islamic Trust] land during January-February, the Ministry of Religious Affairs stated that these attacks included defilement of the Al-Aqsa Mosque plazas and invasions into them, targeting of Islamic heritage, digging of tunnels and preventing the call to prayer at the Ibrahimi Mosque [Cave of the Patriarchs].
The report noted that Jewish organizations had embarked, on Jan. 3, 2011, on a campaign of electronic Judaization, in an attempt to falsify the history of the Al-Buraq wall [Western Wall]. The so-called ?Western Wall Heritage Foundation? launched a worldwide electronic service for the i-Phone, making it possible to watch the goings-on at the Al-Buraq wall in real time.
He stated that this service made it possible for the viewer to take a virtual tour of the Al-Buraq tunnel and the tunnel of the western wall of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and noted that there is also a service [providing] a worldwide compass which points in the direction of Jerusalem, in order to hold Jewish prayer in the direction of the alleged Temple.? |

In an announcement on his behalf yesterday, Khater said that the holding of this conference ? under the auspices of the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel, the municipality of occupied Jerusalem, the Israeli Ministry of Tourism, the Jerusalem Development Authority, and other Israeli institutions ? means that Israel has succeeded in marketing Jerusalem as the capital of the occupation state, and forcing this great lie upon the participating countries?
He emphasized that the insistence of the occupation authorities on holding this conference exposes intentions and a trend to consolidate Jerusalem as the capital of world Jewry... and not just as the capital of the State of Israel. He warned that continuation of this policy, in the shadow of international silence, could erode all the international decisions which have been taken for the benefit of the holy city, and may also tempt hundreds of thousands of Jews in the world to immigrate to Jerusalem, especially once they realize that various countries are cooperating with the Israeli lies.?

Al-Tamimi said that he believes that the steps adopted by the Israeli occupation ? Judaization of the holy city; a blurring of its Arab and Muslim landmarks through destruction of its residents? homes and its historical and archaeological structures; confiscation of its land and establishment of settlements upon it; construction of synagogues around it and around the Al-Aqsa Mosque; continued excavations beneath its foundations; prevention of worshippers from praying inside it; isolation of the city from its Palestinian surroundings by means of the racist separation fence; and prevention of entry to it ? [all of these] are plots aimed at changing its identity and transforming it [Jerusalem] into a Jewish city, and destroying the Al-Aqsa Mosque and establishing the alleged Temple in its place. Al-Tamimi called upon the Arab nation and the Islamic nation to be alert and to adopt cautionary measures towards what is happening in Jerusalem and towards the attack which the Israeli government is seeking to carry out at this difficult time in the history of the nation.

Marwan Barghouti, member of PA parliament:
???? ?I address special greetings to the great Palestinian nation, initiator of revolutions and Intifadas, with a legendary history of resolve facing the worst and most abominable enemy known to humanity and modern history; the enemy which does not refrain from carrying out massacres, continuing aggression, theft of land, establishment of settlements and expanding them, and to Judaize Jerusalem ? the city of cities and the jewel in the crown of the [Arab] nation ? and continues with a policy of detention against the members of a defenseless people. I take this opportunity to emphasize once again what we have always said: Israel and its various governments have never made a strategic decision about peace, and the wait to achieve national independence with the approval of the Israeli government is nothing but an illusion. The national independence of nations is seized, through sacrifice, resistance, resolve, and struggle. National independence is seized; one does not wait for it. The gamble on the US will be of no benefit, because it [the US] is not the patron of peace, but rather the patron of the Israeli occupation, aggression, and settlement. In order for our people to be able to seize our national rights, the first step must be an end to the destructive, shameful and wretched split [between Fatah and Hamas]? We must continue on the path of resistance, and act for further achievements and recognition for the establishment of the state. We must continue to act to isolate Israel further on the international, official, and popular level, and on all levels and in all spheres, as well as continuing the campaign to boycott all Israeli goods, not limiting it to settlement goods exclusively.?
