The subject of the prophecy is the house of Israel who have defiled themselves with the idols of the nations. This is a judgment against Israel, not Palestinians.Not entirely. The subject of chapters 13 and 14 is the Land of Israel and the cleansing of the land of the unclean spirit, false prophets, and those of other nations who have risen up against Jerusalem. There is no doubt that the spirit of Islam is an unclean spirit within the land and within those who are daily rising up against Jerusalem.

You seem to be eisegeting the text based on modern events in the Middle East. A very bad idea indeed.
