"Arab nations must educate their people about Jerusalem to evoke the importance of the city," Haniyeh insisted.
Replace the word "educate" with indoctrinate myths. What is so difficult for Muslims to understand?
A parable should make the point clear: There's two boys and each have a claim to a certain toy. The first boy loves the toy very much and it's all
he ever thinks about. Everyday the toy is on his mind. The other boy has two other toys which he plays with much more, and he even makes it known to
the other boy that his toy is his least favorite of the three, yet, nonetheless, he makes a claim to the toy and expects the first boy to part ways
with it. He wants all 3 toys and will do anything to get it - even if that means denying the history of love the first boy has for the toy.
Haniyeh did not say whether that education should include archeological and historical evidence of the deep Jewish roots in Jerusalem dating back
at least 3,000 years.
When Palestinians and other Arabs say this, what exactly are they intending to imply? That Jerusalem is an Arab city?
According to Gerald M. Steinberg, Jordan ransacked 57 ancient synagogues, libraries and centers of religious study in the Old City Of Jerusalem,
12 were totally and deliberately destroyed. Those that remained standing were defaced, used for housing of both people and animals. Appeals were made
to the United Nations and in the international community to declare the Old City to be an 'open city' and stop this destruction, but there was no
response

Nothing is ever said about what Arabs do to erase Jewish history in Jerusalem, not when the Waqf excavates at the Temple mount, not when the
Jordanians destroyed 12 synagogues and defaced 45 others during their 19 year occupation of the westbank......Yet...If Israel does anything of a
questionable nature, the UN perches on its branch and remonstrates Israel.
Everything is done by the international community to highlight Israel's offenses, but nothing is done to highlight the things done by the
Palestinians.
If those 12 synagogues in the old city stood today, many of which date back to medieval and talmudic times, the Jewishness of Jerusalem - particularly
the old city - would be much more apparent than it is today.
