Palestinian Authority Denies Jewish Right to Western Wall
Arutz Sheva ^ | 12/8/13 | Ari Soffer

In what is being described as yet another example of Palestinian Authority (PA) denial of the Jewish connection to Jerusalem and the very legitimacy of the State of Israel, the Presidential Guard of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has claimed the Western Wall as an Arab and Islamic site.

Last week, a picture of the Western Wall was posted onto the PA Presidential Guard's official Facebook page with a PA flag superimposed on it, along with the words "The Al Buraq Wall - Public Relations and Information - The Presidential Guard - Palestinian youth know their rights."

The Western Wall is a relic of the retaining wall of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, which was destroyed by Imperial Roman in 70CE. For nearly 2,000 years Jews were prevented from worshipping on the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site, and instead prayed at the wall, which has since become a holy site in its own right, at which millions of Jews congregate to pray each year. Ongoing restrictions on Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount mean that the Wall is still the primary place of Jewish worship in Jerusalem.

"Al Buraq" is the name given to the Western Wall by Arab rejectionists, who deny the Jewish connection to Jerusalem.

The Mandatory Authority reached a similar conclusion in 1943, and forbade Jews worshiping there on Yom Kipur from blowing the shofar (ram's horn) at the close of services. A British sergeant stood guard with a bullwhip to punish any violators. How nice that the PA is carrying on this noble tradition./sarc

The silver lining is that the Jews now have another reason to rebuild the temple on its original site and tear down the unsightly Dome of the Rock mosque.

Until you find an arab willing and able to speak honestly about jewish ties to the holy land, you do not have a “partner for peace”.

“they assert that it is the place where Muhammed tethered his mythical winged horse Buraq hundreds of years later, when according to some Islamic legends it transported him from Mecca to Jerusalem and back”

Aliens?

Can we turn the Pallie areas into glass now? Huh? Huh? Worthless wastes of oxygen and space. All they know how to do is hate. Last time I checked, all those positions were already filled, we don’t need any more. That includes Nidel Hasan, who murdered his fellow American soldiers.

This will not stand. The bull whip will be in the other hand this time.

I don’t know why Israel just doesn’t blow up those guys. Of course the entire world will condemn them...but they are condemned daily no matter what they do anyway, so just cauterize the wound and be done with it, rather than suffer thousands of daily non-stop paper cuts.

In 1944, the Irgun stopped the threat of bullwhipping by circulating a posted sign threatening to shoot on the spot any British troop who used that whip. Everyone expected a horrible massacre that Yom Kipur, but nobody called their bluff. The whips stayed at the sergeants’ sides, and the shofar was blown.

Yom Kippur is one month from tomorrow on the 13th. This does indeed appear to kick off the effort to repeat history.
