Mahmoud Abbas Has No Toleration

The head of the Palestinian Authority, again, displays religious intolerance, an unwillingness to coexist with Jews and exhibits the negative tendency of the so-called "Palestinian nationalism", what I term Palestinianism, to fabricate and misrepresent.

As reported:

Israeli settlers entering Temple Mount can't be tolerated: Abbas
   
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday that Israeli settlers must stop entering the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, official Wafa news agency reported [thanks to EOZ*].  "This is something that can't be tolerated," Abbas said during a meeting of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

Earlier this month, Israel allowed Jewish groups to enter the Temple Mount to celebrate the 1967 reunification of Jerusalem, despite Palestinian protests.

The Jews who ascend are, in the main, not "settlers".  By labeling them as such, Abbas wishes, we can assume, to attach a stigma to the customs and obligations of Jews to respect our holy places.  If these people are "settlers", then they must be provocateurs, and violent.  And there is nothing of any "attack" against Al-Aqsa other than walking around and simply being present.  Other than being 'tourists', we Jews are prohibited by our own government and the police from displaying any form of religious expression, even reading from a Bible, and surely not praying.

He continued, and said that it is impossible to hold back:

"We cannot remain silent over such actions, nor can we accept their recurrence," Abbas said. "if Israel is dreaming as such daily attacks that attack the Al-Aqsa Mosque the holy sites can put concrete on the ground they are disillusioned."

He added, "Eastern Jerusalem is our capital city, Al-Aqsa belongs to us, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre belongs to us, and we will not accept [the Israelis’] harassment.”

And I see that even Tony Blair, special envoy of the Quartet, the Middle East peace mediators, joined in by 

urg[ing] Israel to respect worshipers' right to practice their religion and to freely access their religious sites.  "I am concerned over the rising tension in the holy places in Jerusalem and the scenes of violence that we witnessed during Easter," he said in a statement.

"Easter"?  Wasn't that Passover week?

رام الله 12-5-2013 وفا- قال رئيس دولة فلسطين محمود عباس، إنه لا يمكن السكوت على الهجمات التي يتعرض لها المسجد الأقصى المبارك وأبناء شعبنا في الضفة الغربية من قبل الإسرائيليين، خاصة من قبل المستوطنين، والتي تزداد شراسة هذه الأيام.

وأضاف سيادته، في مستهل اجتماع اللجنة التنفيذية، مساء اليوم الأحد، بمقر الرئاسة في مدينة رام الله، 'أن مثل هذا العمل لا يمكن السكوت عليه ولا يمكن أن نقبل أن يستمر، وإذا كانت إسرائيل تحلم بأنها بمثل هذه الهجمات اليومية التي تهاجم فيها المسجد الأقصى المبارك يمكن أن تضع مواقع فعلية على الأرض فهي واهمة'.

وقال الرئيس، 'القدس الشرقية عاصمة لنا، والأقصى هو لنا، وكنيسة القيامة لنا، ولن نسمح لهم بكل هذه العربدات التي يقومون بها'.

وأضاف سيادته، 'نهيب بالدول العربية والإسلامية والمجتمع الدولي عامة أن يتحركوا لوقف هذه المآسي التي تقترف باسم الاحتلال الإسرائيلي'.

Ramallah 05/12/2013 (WAFA) - President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas, he can not be tolerated on the attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque and the sons of our people in the West Bank by the Israelis, especially by the settlers, which is getting fiercer these days.

The sovereignty, at the outset of the meeting of the Executive Committee, on Sunday evening, at the headquarters office in the city of Ramallah, 'that such an action can not be tolerated and can not accept to continue, and if Israel is dreaming as such daily attacks that attack the Al-Aqsa Mosque the holy sites can put concrete on the ground they are disillusioned. '

The president said, 'East Jerusalem as our capital, and Al-Aqsa is ours, and the Church of the Resurrection to us, and we will not allow them all these Arabdat, that they do.'

The sovereignty, 'we call upon the Arab and Islamic countries and the international community in general to act to stop these tragedies perpetrated in the name of the Israeli occupation.'

P.S.   And on the other hand, the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip on Monday warned that the repeated intrusions by groups of Israeli settlers to the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque "threatens religious war with Israel".

And EOZ adds:

Keep in mind that during Jordan's brief period of sovereignty over the Old City, Jews were barred from praying not only on the Temple Mount but at the Kotel as well. Not Israelis - Jews.

This is the "status quo" that Abbas would consider ideal, along with a Judenrein Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron and a Tomb of Rachel that is converted into a mosque.

Yes, under any "peace plan" this most moderate of all Palestinian Arab leaders in history would grudgingly allow limited busloads of Jews to occasionally visit some specific sites for short periods of time, but inevitably those visits would cause riots and he would stop even this allowance. For "security" reasons.

Every clear thinking person knows that this is the best that can be expected under a Palestinian Arab state. Yet no "human rights" group seems to mind that freedom of religion for Jews would simply not be tolerated under the Palestinian Arab state they believe is the key to "peace."

And the Western media will refuse to publish that their "moderate" hero is openly lying about peaceful visits to Judaism's holiest site and trying to get them banned, today.
