Israel heightens campaign to demolish Al-Aqsa Mosque and build alleged Temple

MEMO | Oct 20, 2013

Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon has participated in a propaganda film to promote the Jewish relationship with the city of Jerusalem. The film shows the gradual wearing away of the Dome of the Rock and the appearance of the alleged Temple of Solomon in place of the dome. The Israeli Foreign Ministry had banned the release of an earlier version of the film, in which the Dome of the Rock was more clearly demolished and the temple was put in its place.


Palestinian organisations and individuals have condemned both films, charging that they are promoting, perhaps even inciting, Israelis to demolish the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque and to build the Temple in its place, a propaganda campaign now pushed by the Israeli Foreign Ministry.


The Al-Aqsa Association for Waqf and Heritage said that officially supported organisations and groups, as well as branches of the Israeli occupation, are all working hard to promote the idea of demolishing the Al-Aqsa Mosque and building the Temple in its place. The association warned against the danger of such ideas, “which are picking up pace on a daily basis”.


Moreover, in a statement the association warned that the “plans to bomb the Al-Aqsa Mosque are on the verge of execution.”
The association quoted Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper saying that the Israeli Foreign Ministry had earlier prepared “a short promotional video that makes historical Jewish claims regarding occupied Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque” that included “scenes of the Dome of the Rock, followed by a scene in which the dome is demolished, and then a scene showing the construction of the alleged Temple on its ruins.”


According to the newspaper, the film was censored “in case of angry Muslim and Arab reactions and some scenes were changed.”


In the video, Danny Ayalon talks about what he calls “the Temple generation”, referring to the alleged Temple as “the spiritual centre in Jerusalem, which is considered to be a holy city… it is easy to identify by the gilded Dome of the Rock”. He also claims that the Dome of the Rock was built in place of the Temple, which he says was first built 3,000 years ago.
The association responded by saying that “the Zionist project is actually founded on the dream and myth of first occupying Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and then constructing the alleged Temple at the expense of Al-Aqsa Mosque.” It also warned against the danger of any “plans to divide the Al-Aqsa Mosque as step towards establishing the alleged Temple.”


The official spokesperson for the Islamic Movement in Palestine, Zahi Njedat, responded to the film by calling on the Islamic and Arab nations to “step up to the occasion, as the danger has approached and time is precious.”


On his part, the former Palestinian Mufti and head of the Supreme Islamic Council in Jerusalem, Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, pointed out that the Israeli propaganda is proof of its bad intentions regarding the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and proof that extremist Jewish groups are now dominating the Israeli public and taking advantage of the Arab world’s internal conflicts to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque as soon as possible.


Moreover, Sabri called on Jerusalemites and all Palestinians to be careful and vigilant and to remain present inside the mosque as a field solution, “because surprises may occur any day now”. He also expressed his disappointment in the situation of the Arab and Islamic nations, which should be taking responsibility for what is happening in Jerusalem.


Continuous raids


In regards to the continuous raids on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the association said that MK Moshe Feiglin from the Likud Beiteinu coalition stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday and was accompanied by about 30 settlers, only one day after a raid by around 100 female soldiers in uniform, who according to worshippers raided the mosque from the Mughrabi Gate and were divided into groups to listen to guides speaking about the alleged Temple.
In addition to the soldiers, settlers and politician, 30 settlers accompanied by a rabbi also raided the mosque last Monday.


The association warned against the occupation’s increasing actions “against the Al-Aqsa Mosque, through which the occupation is trying to impose a new fait accompli in Al-Aqsa”. They called on the Islamic nations to “take initiative and assume responsibility towards the first Qiblah in order to defend and preserve the sanctity of Al-Aqsa.”


The association also pointed out that the settlers and Jewish groups raiding the Al-Aqsa focus as well on the Museum of Islamic Art Chapel and the Eastern Wall, especially near the Al-Rahma Gate. It noted the previous warning by the former head of the Islamic Movement in Palestine, Sheikh Raed Salah, against plans to turn the Museum of Islamic Art Chapel into a Jewish synagogue.

Ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian & Islamic identity


Al Quds, Jerusalem is the main target of the ethnic cleansing to turn the city of “Jerusalem” into the City of David.

Palestinian families evicted, house demolitions, Arab neighbourhoods totally besieged by Jewish settlements, construction of the tramway of apartheid, excavations under the Al Aqsa mosque…

Ethnic cleansing in the heart of Al-Quds: Silwan

silwanicSilwan, the epic center of ethnic cleansing. Zionist polishing up of facades for the sake of tourism.

Houses are being confiscated. Demolished, Or Palestinians even forced to demolish them with their own hands.

Palestinian Jerusalemites to “expire” as policies to ethnic cleanse Jerusalem even affect the validity of their ID’s for only 10 years settling a count down on the Judaization.

Children, are being targeted, kidnapped and abused by zionist forces every day.

For Israel’s “Tolerance” – Ethnical cleansing of Cemeteries

Israel  plans to build a museum on the site of a centuries-old Muslim cemetery not far from Jerusalem’s historic Old City. In general, more Islamic and Christian cemeteries are being ‘cleaned out’ to make room for apartments, musea, and parking lot.

Aside from cleaning out graves, Israel installs fake graves to occupy lands stolen from Palestinians: recently again. Over 50 fake graves have been dug and facades set up as an excuse to legitimate the sickening move. Read more at “When Israel’s Ethnic Cleansing of the Living is Not Enough


Israel, not only ethnic cleansing Al Quds, but the whole of Palestine

Israel not looking for peace facts storify palestine greater israelIsrael is not looking for peace or coexistence at all. It has only one mission, to achieve the zionist plan of a Greater Israel as published by a radical settler group and it’s working towards this every single day by all means possible to ethnic cleanse Palestine of it’s native people.

After the 1948 Nakba and expulsion of 800.000 people, of which 100.000 Christians, the process of ethnic cleansing continues with every policy imaginable and an Israel which puts itself above literally every  (international) Law, Convention, Treaty and violates all rights of an nation under occupation to which it has obligations as well as stated in the 1907 Hague Regulations and 4th Geneva Convention.

Why Orthodox Jews are opposed to a zionist state

Zionism is not of Judaism. Let the truth be declared. The use of the Name “ISRAEL” by that State is a complete falsification. The People of Israel have nothing to do with that State. Zionism and its State have no share and no part in the true ISRAEL.

True Torah Jews opposed Zionism for more than 130 years.

Neturei-Karta is the Aramaic term for “Guardians of the City. The name Neturei-Karta originates from an incident in which R. Yehudah Ha-Nassi (Rabbi Judah the Prince) sent R. Hiyya and R. Ashi on a pastoral tour of inspection. In one town they asked to see the “guardians of the city” and the city guard was paraded before them.

They said that these were not the guardians of the city but its destroyers, which prompted the citizens to ask who, then, could be considered the guardians. The rabbis answered, “The scribes and the scholars,” referring them to Tehillim (Psalms) Chap. 127. (Jerusalem Talmud, Tractate Hagiga. 76c).

The name was given to a group of Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem who refused (and still refuse) to recognize the existence or authority of the so-called “State of Israel” and made (and still make) a point of publicly demonstrating their position, the position of the Torah and authentic unadulterated Judaism.

So the rabbis speak out. Judaism is fighting zionism long before any establishment of the “State of Israel” itself. 130 years. Read, the 130 year long religious record of the Rabbis for Real Judaism.
