JERUSALEM (Arutz-7) – Jewish efforts and successes in spurring on the historic process of the national return to Jerusalem have the Palestinian Authority concerned.
Speaking on Yemenite Television recently, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said that while Israel and “world Zionism” act every day to “Judaize” the city, Arab efforts to make the city Arab are “paltry.”
Though he compared the current Arab efforts with the “billions” that Jews are spending on behalf of the Holy City, Abbas also hinted that Arabs are not doing enough militarily for Jerusalem.
“The Palestinians are working and are getting killed,” he said. “The second intifada erupted because of [former Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount and the desecration of the mosque, and it lasted seven years. This time, therefore, the matter of Jerusalem requires a much greater effort, something much more practical. It’s not enough to talk about Jerusalem in books, nor to give sermons in mosques; there is a need to work for her.” |
