The Palestinian Authority on Sunday sent a warning to Israel, over what it calls its attempts to harm the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount.

Speaking during a meeting of the PLO's Executive Committee, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas that it is impossible to hold back in the wake of what he called the attacks by Israel on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and PA Arabs in Judea and Samaria, in particular by local Jewish residents.

"We cannot remain silent over such actions, nor can we accept their recurrence," Abbas said. "If Israel is dreaming about establishing facts on the ground through its daily attacks against the Al-Aqsa Mosque, then it is deluded."

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.”

Arabs continuously accuse Israel of "Judaizing" the Temple Mount, sometimes resorting to ridiculous propaganda such as accusing Israel of using chemicals to erode the foundations of the mosque in order to cause it to collapse.

At the same time the Waqf, which was left in charge of the Temple Mount after Israel liberated it during the 1967 Six Day War, consistently destroys Jewish antiquities on the compound in a direct violation of a ruling by the Supreme Court.

The Waqf has removed every sign of ancient Jewish presence at the site. At the entrance to the Temple Mount, a Waqf sign says, “The Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyard and everything in it is Islamic property.”

Abbas is a bad (and expensive) joke. Nothing he says is even rational anymore. He’s irrelevant.

Isn't there recorded evidence of him organizing an attack that was responsible for the murder of an American diplomat (IIRC, Bengahzi was the first since then.)

This is nothing a good bulldozer and 100 gallons of diesel couldn’t fix....

Perhaps there is something akin to Diatomaceous Earth for radical moslims and Islamics...

Yep. The pig bomb.

Good morning.

Maybe it’s something jewish from the Temple that would cement Israel’s right to the area.

Nothing, short of Christ's return will convince Islam of anything.

Well, I take that back. We should have nuked Mecca, Medina and Qom on 9/12/2001.

I hope you are doing well.

Put them in the ground. Then it will belong to them.

There are tunnels and chambers all under the Temple Mount, some that are known and some yet unknown. Of course there are Jewish artifacts down there, Temple instruments, and maybe even the Ark itself.

Even the return of Christ would not phase the Islamics,
it would all be a “jewish” plot.
