According to blogsite, "Yid with Lid", Ehud Olmert's bending over backward rush to reach a peace agreement with the Palestinian's will result in a divided Jerusalem, making East Jerusalem forever unavailable to the Jewish people.
"If Olmert has its way and Jerusalem is Divided...you will never again be able to travel to the Jewish holy sites in Eastern Jerusalem, because the Arabs do not believe that there are any Jewish Holy Sites in east Jerusalem...or that any part of Jerusalem that was ever Jewish."
The post references an article that appeared in CAMERA (the Committee for Acuracy in Middle East Reporting in America), entitled, "Jerusalem: Arab Denial of Jewish Ties", where Arab's discount any historical Jewish connection to the land of Israel:
"In 2002, Sabri wrote a booklet, entitled Palestine – the Human Factor and the Land which was published in Egypt in August 2002. In it, he used as evidence the anti-Semitic forgery "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion"to support his allegation that the Jews have for centuries been secretly plotting to take over Palestine. He denied any Jewish historic connection and right to the land, labelling the Jewish Temple built by Solomon as "imaginary."
"Historian and former Arafat advisor Jarar al Qidwa makes similar assertions: Solomon’s Temple, I believe, was built by the Canaanites who were the neighbors of the Israelis, the Israelites... I want to state several words clearly: the Bible became an archival document, not representing what the Israelis and the first Jews were, but what they thought they were, what they imagined. The Temple is the fruit of their imagination. In any case, when our nation or our Canaanite forefathers came to Palestine, they built the Temple… a temple in Jerusalem... ...The issue of the temple is a Zionist innovation. No one said that the temple that was built in Jerusalem, neither the Canaanite nor Roman, no one said that it was in the place of the [Islamic] Al Haram."
Yid with Lid correlates these false Arab claims with a dark assessment of Jerusalem's future:
"If you read the entire CAMERA article it is obvious that not only do the Palestinians believe this rubbish but most of the Muslim world..and people believe that the PA will care for Jewish Holy Sites. Not in this reality. They destroy them the same way they destroyed Joseph's tomb. And Jews will never be allowed to visit them again...the same way we were not allowed to visit the Jordanian controlled sites before 1967. Ladies and Gentleman, THAT is the future of Jerusalem if Olmert gets his way. A Jerusalem without Jews and eventually without Christians either. A future where Jewish and Christian Holy Sites are destroyed."
Let's hope that for Jerusalem's sake, this latest attempt to broker peace with Palestinians fails just like the countless number of similar peace agreements over the past four decades. One can only look to how the Gaza Strip turned out to get an idea of what will happen to East Jerusalem if it is turned over to the Palestinians.
