Palestinian Authority Demands Control ofWestern Wall

Not satisfied to win control of "Muslim" holy sites alone, the Palestinian

Authority is demanding that even the Western Wall, globally reocognized

as Judaism's holiest site, must come under its sovereignty as part of any

peace deal with Israel.

"Every piece of land Israel occupied in 1967 belongs to the Palestinian

state. The Buraq Wall, too, will be under Palestinian sovereignty,"

Palestinian Minister of Religious Affairs Mahmoud al-Habash said in an

interview with Israel's Channel 10 News.

Al-Habash went on to assert that under Palestinian sovereignty, freedom

of religion would be protected and Jews would be permitted to continue

praying at the site without fear of persecution.

Buraq Wall, the term used by Al-Habash to denote the Western Wall, is the

Muslim term for the western retaining wall of the Temple Mount. In its later

years, Islam claimed that this was the place where the Prophet

Mohammed tied his magical horse Al-Buraq after being transported from

Mecca to Jerusalem.

In a 2008 interview with Azzam Khatib, then-director of the Islamic Trust (or

Waqf) that safeguards the mosques that sit atop the Temple Mount, we

were told that when the Muslims first arrived in Jerusalem 1,400 years

ago, the Temple Mount area was barren, and no hard evidence of

previous structures remained.

"When the Muslims came here they never found any standing building or any culture still alive, so they never threatened any

standing building," said the Waqf director. "We are not going to entertain theories about buildings that may or may not have been

here before."

Always a fount of contradiction, the Muslim officials later negated their own claims that the Temple Mount was empty in A.D. 600

with their stories of Muhammad's midnight visit to the Al Aksa Mosque that today towers over the southern end of the raised

compound.

Pointing to the massive western retaining wall, which if the Muslim officials are to be believed should also not have existed 1,400

years ago, a Waqf guide pointed out for us the exact spot where Al-Buraq was supposedly secured.

The reason you bad mouth us, as well you know, is that our Military forces

are in Gods hands and we whipp your fat backsides every time, and YOU

KNOW IT, or should say by the grace God who WHIPPS YOUR DIRTY

BACK SIDES. We will, and are suffering for a season, but there has been an

earthquake predicted in Israel for some time. I predict, in the name of Yahvah

and Meshiach that this next earth quake will whipe all you blood thirsty

Muslims away and DESTROY THE DOME ON "OUR" TEMPLE MOUNT

WHICH YOU ERRECTED OVER GODS TEMPLE. CURSED ARE YOU

AND MAY IT HAPPEN SO SOON. THE SUPREME God has the final say

Tamima Levin • an hour ago Floyd

They can not take it because it is God's land Lev. 25 verse 23, and God will destroy

them. The next war will be awsome beause it will not be altogethe the Israeli

weapons but Gods hand from above will turn the Muslims own weapons against

them. JUST WAIT AND SEE AND MY LATE GRANDSON AND I WILL PRAISE THE

LORD WHO "WILL" PASS HIS HEAENLY AMMUNITION DOWN ON YOU

ALREADY ROTTING PIGS. YOU ARE UN-KOSHER MEAT. DID YOU KNOW THAT

PIGS HAVE 9 DIFFERENT POISONOUS WORMS IN THEIR INTESTINES AND

ARE SO POISONOUS THAT WHEN A SNAKE BITS A PIG THE SNAKE DIES AND

THE "PIG" WALKS AWAY. SO EVEN A SNAKE IS BETTER THAN "P I G S". DO

NOT CONTINUE YOUR NONSENSE BECAUSE THE MORE YOU DO THE MORE

YOU ARE CURSED. GOD DELIVER US FROM THIS WICKED EVIL MAN AND ALL

THOSE WHO WALK WITH HIM TO YOUR GLORY TRUE GOD.

AND LASTLY, IT IS NOT QUANTITY BUT QUALITY, THE QUALITY OF THE

SUPREME MIGHTY GOD YAHVAH(FATHER OF LOVE) AND HIS SON

MESHIACH(SAVER).

Soban Akhter • 4 hours ago Floyd

we will conquer israel under the leadership of the true messiah until he comes we

won't be able to do so. when he returns he will liberate the holly land , he will bring

back the believers to the holly land , he will re-establish the state of israel and will

make it the rulling state of the world. . . . . . .and make no doubts about the messiah

he is the son of marry the prophet jesus(P.B.U.H) and we will fight with him because

we are not like those who say go you and your Lord fight we are gonna stay right

GO READ YOUR BIBLE, NOT THE KORAN, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT G-D

SCATTERED US TO PUNISH US AND TO PROVE TO THE WHOLE WORLD HE IS G-D.

HE IS NOW RESTORING IT. GO TO LEV. 25 VERSE 23, WHERE G-D SAYS THIS LAND

IS HIS AND WE ARE SO-JOURNERS WITH HIM "WE MAY NOT GIVE THIS LAND AWAY

FOREVER" GO BOIL YOUR HEAD YOU BLASTED ENGLISHMAN. ALSO MY GREAT

GRAND MOTHER WAS LADY GEORGINA CROWHURST. I EVEN RESEMBLE IN

LOOKS THE PRESENT QUEEN. HOWEVER, I DISOWN THEM. THEY MURDERED

PRINCESS DIANNA. MY GREAT GRANDMOTHERS SON MARRIED A JEWISH LADY

AND I AM THAT DESCENDANT. BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY TO ME, YOU

HAVE NO IDEA WHO I AM AND WHAT I "KNOW" I HAVE SAT, WALKED, DINED ETC., IN

HIGHER EARTHLY CIRCLES THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

IS IT NOT FUNNY THAT I COME FROM PLACES YOU WOULD NOT DARE TO WALK,

MY NAME IS ALSO TAMIMA WHICH MEANS "INNOCENT IN THE LORD"

AVRAHAM WAS CALLED TZADIK AVRAHAM TAMIM(MASCULINE) TAMIMA IS FEMININE

Richard O. Mann • an hour ago Soban Akhter

The Bible states that Israel was removed from the land for disobedience.

But, it also states that Jehovah would bring them back to their land, and

would punish the decendents of Ismael who had tried to take the land for

themselves while Israel was out of the land. That day is coming. The follower

of Islam will be distroyed. Now, that is what is in our Bible. What does your

Koran say, and who are you going to believe?

By your name I would say you are a Moslim. Do not DARE argue with God,

you will NOT GET THIS LAND BACK. GO TO THE BIBLE WHERE GOD

TELLS THAT HE WILL RESTORE THE LAND TO US AND I PREDICT

WITHIN THE NEXT 7 YEARS. YOU ARE OF THE SEED OF EPHRAIM

AVRAHAMS ILLIGITIMATE SON, BORNE OUT OF WED LOCK, BEFORE

GOD GAVE THE COMMANDMENTS. IN THE SCRIPTURES GOD SAYS

THAT NO BASTARD CHILD(BORNE OUT OF WEDLOCK CHILD) WILL

ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. ALSO HE SAID TO THE CHILDS

MOTHER THAT HE(THE MUSLIMS)WOULD BECOME A LARGE NATION,

BUT THAT HE AND THEY WOULD BE A "THORN" IN EVERYONE'S SIDE,

AND BY GOODNESS YOU GUYS ARE. FURTHERMORE GOD WILL

RESTORE THE LAND TO PROVE THAT HE IS GOD AND THAT TOO IS

WRITTEN IN SCRIPTURE

DO WHAT YOU ALL LIKE, YOU ALL MAKE PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

BUT GOD (NOT MAHOMED) HAS THE FINAL AND LAST SAY.

**AND LAST BUT NO MEANS LEAST, THE REASON WE WERE

BANISHED WAS BECAUSE WE WERE FOLLOWING OTHER NATIONS

LIKE YOUR NATION, WE WERE BANISHED FOR A SEASON TO "BURN

The demands of these deluded Pally-politicians get more bizarre by the day and hour - no doubt

greatly encouraged by Kerry's vocal somersaults. Jerusalem - The burdensome Stone for all the

people of the earth ... how accurate is Scripture once again ... and so is the rest of this passage in

Zechariah 12.3 - All Praise and Thanks to The Lord God of Israel Who remains steadfastly in

control despite little men's hollering and posturing and plotting. NO - The Keeper of Israel does

NOT slumber nor sleep - and YES - Israel's enemies SHALL be defeated - so it is written.
