| Turkey pledges support to Israeli Arabs' cause |
| 2010-09-25 |
| Thousands of people attended the Islamic Movement's annual rally in Umm al-Fahm Friday and were privy to a special message from Turkish President Abdullah Gul, pledging his country's support to the Arab-Israeli cause. In his message, read over the phone by the Turkish advisor for Mideast affairs, Gul assured participants that "Your brothers in Turkey will always lend their support to the protection of the al-Aqsa Mosque and all other holy sites in Jerusalem." Gul's advisor also spoke of May's Gaza-bound aid sail, aboard which were, among others, Head of the Islamic Movement Sheikh Raed Salah and Knesset Member Hanin Zuabi (Balad), saying "this freedom sail represents the profound link between us. Together we will protect the holy sites." |

| #1 the muzzies built a mosque on top of another religions holiest site. (surprise) now the muzzies are concerned and profess solidarity when trouble breaks out. Funny though when interviewed almost to a person Israeli Arabs want to stay and live in Israel, instead of in 'Palestine' or other disputed areas. Wonder why is that? |
