Palestinians Want Western Wall as Part of Any Settlement

UNITED NATIONS — As an American-hosted Middle East summit approaches, Palestinian Arabs are hardening their positions: An aide to the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, said yesterday that the Palestinians will demand sole Arab control over Judaism's holiest site in Jerusalem, the Western Wall. Mr. Abbas's adviser on religious affairs, Adnan al-Husseini, made the new demand in an interview with the Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv, sparking an outcry from many Israeli politicians who complained that recent reports about the Olmert government's proposal to transfer Arab-dominated neighborhoods in Jerusalem to the jurisdiction of a Palestinian state have led to further Arab demands. As the last remnant of the ancient Second Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 of the common era, the Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall, is considered Judaism's holiest site. Muslims, who call it Al-Burak, also venerate it as the place where they believe the prophet Muhammad tied his horse before ascending to the heavens. "We are talking about full control" over Jerusalem, Mr. Husseini, a scion of one of the most prominent Palestinian Arab families, told Ma'ariv. "The Wailing Wall," he said, "is a Muslim waqf," or sacred endowment, "and therefore cannot be abandoned."

Arabs were emboldened when Israel didn’t smash the “Dome of the Rock” in 1967 when Israel captured Jerusalem.

Israel’s politicians hate the wall because it reminds them of someone more important than them ... God, so they’ll sell it out in a moment.

Good grief.

"the Palestinians will demand sole Arab control over Judaism's holiest site in Jerusalem, the Western Wall"

When pigs fly and donkeys sing opera - ping!

These Amalekstinians have more gall than a vat of vinegar! If they lay one fithy paw on the Western Wall, may they be smote so fast that they land in a very hot place before their scawny bodies hit the ground!

Just when I thought I could not get any more ticked off at them, they end up bottoming themselves even more!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'd better step outside for a smoke and let out a few colorful Southern cuss-terms that I cannot use in this forum!!!!

As an American-hosted Middle East summit approaches, Palestinian Arabs are hardening their positions . . .

Gee, who could possibily have forseen this complication? Even though it has happened roughly 21,627 times before, the State Department still can't catch on.

You don't suppose the Palestinian Arabs are hardening their positions on a peace accord because they really do not want peace? Nah! That's impossible. Everybody wants peace.

“Muslims, who call it Al-Burak, also venerate it as the place where they believe the prophet Muhammad tied his horse before ascending to the heavens.”

Just made-up nonsense to give the Muslims a spurious claim to one more site of real importance to a non-Muslim group. If the West doesn’t wise up, they’ll be making the sort of spurious claims about the Vatican, Westminster Abbey, Notre Dame, Jamestown, etc.

“An aide to the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, said yesterday that the Palestinians will demand sole Arab control over Judaism’s holiest site in Jerusalem, the Western Wall”

For any who still kid themselves that the Arabs actually want peace with Israel, this should provide them a good hint. All their maneuvers are just aimed at the eventual destruction of Israel.

Hmmmmm.....Jews/Israelis——1000’s of years

Mohamed-—1500 or so years

Sorry, Mooslims, the Jews were there FIRST!!!

Right, and now that Algore has won the Prize—I’m sure he’ll swoop right in and wave his medal around and “poof”.

Run Al, Run!!!

[CarolinaPeach]

No. Stinking. Way.

[sheik yerbouty]

The palesimians can shi’ite in their rags on their misbegotten heads! Allahu fubar!

[purpleraine]

I guess every place the guy urinated is now open to property calims by the moslems. By that standard, Christians could claim every site where Jesus talked, stopped, slept, ate, etc.

Someone needs to call them on their BS.
