"The Jerusalem Clock is hidden in London today," Fatah, the political movement behind the PLO and the Palestinian Authority, asserts in a post titled, "Jerusalem Stolen Clock".
It goes on to claim that the British military ordered the clock tower dismantled. Then the "British moved the clock first to a new tower across from the municipality of Jerusalem, and transferred it to the British Museum in London, to become the famous British icon, 'Big Ben'."
How did Big Ben, which was built in 1859, become a Muslim clock tower from the 20th century?
There are some other slight differences between London’s Big Ben and the “stolen clock” such as the fact that Big Ben is 316 feet tall while the ‘Palestinian’ clock tower was only 42 feet.
But the story of the “Palestinian clock” is also the story of the entire myth of “Palestine”.
When you believe that the Jerusalem of King David and King Solomon was originally yours, you can just as easily believe that London’s Big Ben was originally the property of “Palestine”.
The “Palestinian clock” is as real as “Palestine”. The myth of a “Palestinian” people propounded by Fatah which has spent decades killing over it is also the story of the “Palestinian clock”.
No such place or country of Palestine; it was a name given to Israel by the Romans. It has no validity in history.
“Big Ben” is clearly a Muslim minaret. I don’t understand how the Brits felt that they could get away with this theft. Give it back, Britain! /sarc

“Come and get it!”
I saw this at the Chicago Field Museum a while back. Absolutely beautiful.
There is no such country by the name of Palestine. There was a Philistines, but no Palestine. It was created by Arafat and his Catholic wife.
Revisionist history writ large.

Who knew that gigantic clocks were a middle eastern thing?
Where are all the other great clock towers of the Middle East?
I see you posted a picture of The Washington Monument.
OOPS, I mean the George Floyd Monument.
A Turner?
For four blessed years, we heard next to nothing about this useless band of murderous terrorists. Not quite two weeks of the fake phony fraud of the United States (FPFotus) being installed in the White House and it’s almost daily crap being spewed by them.
Palestine was a creation of Emperor Hadrian after the destruction of the temple. He renamed Israel and Judah for the name of the Jews dreaded enemies, the Philistines. Ethnically and culturally most of the people calling themselves “Palestinians” are Jordanian arabs.

Boy those Jordanians are uppidy.
Yep.
Is that where they go in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?
The Saudi’s are building a clock tower in Mecca larger than Big Ben

They can’t build their own original stuff, but have to copy everyone else.
As if moslems can even tell time!
