Abbas spokesman: Jews visiting the Temple Mount are "invasions, not visits"noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 07 Jun 04:45 AM From the official Palestin Like   Tweet   Abbas spokesman: Jews visiting the Temple Mount are "invasions, not visits" noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 07 Jun 04:45 AM From the official Palestinian Wafa news agency: The daily storming by Jewish extremists into the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque and its courtyards, which are rejected and condemned, has become an invasion and not simply a visit, today said the spokesman for the Palestinian presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh. He stressed the importance of preserving the legal and historical status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque, warning that the continuation of this invasion would turn the conflict into a religious war with serious repercussions. He called on the US administration to assume its responsibilities and compel Israel to stop its escalation and storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque before it is too late. He pointed out that the continuation of double international standards and ignoring United Nations resolutions have become a cover and protection for incursions and blatant Israeli violations of international law, which encourages the occupying power to persist in its crimes. So Jews peacefully visiting the Temple Mount, walking around its perimeter, not bothering any of the Muslims there, not interfering with any Muslim religious rites, are characterized as "invading." And the only people who keep warning about a religious war are the Palestinians who insist on using war terminology like "invasion" to characterize quiet and peaceful visits.

Not so Al Jazeera which headlined its report: "Shireen Abu Akleh: Al Jazeera reporter killed by Israeli forces" A later statement from Al Jazeera indicated it had not resiled from its unproven claim: "In addition to the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh by the Israeli Occupation Forces outside Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank on May 11, 2022, the case file will also include the Israeli bombing and total destruction of Al Jazeera's office in Gaza in May 2021, as well as the continuous incitements and attacks on its journalists operating in the occupied Palestinian territories". No mention was made of Israel's claim that the Gazan building housing Al Jazeera: "contained military assets belonging to Hamas military intelligence," The Jenin refugee camp should have been closed after it came under the PLO's administration in 1995 with its 14000 occupants being resettled in Jenin or other 'West Bank' Arab towns and villages. The UN has never called for Jenin Camp's closure –despite UNRWA labelling it as experiencing:"one of the highest rates of unemployment and poverty among the 19 West Bank refugee camps." Nor does the UN question why those 19 refugee camps are open today – being located in the territory of Areas A and B – called Palestine by that body and a non-member observer...Read More    ©2022 EoZ | EoZ, NYC area Web Version   Preferences   Forward   Unsubscribe     Powered by Mad Mimi®A GoDaddy® company
