Cleric Says Israel Wants To Open Aqsa Courtyard To Jews
2012-08-01
The lies they tell to each other to justify their hate -- and this time they aren't even bothering to conceal it in Arabic.
[Ma'an] The deputy leader of the Islamic movement in Israel, Sheikh Kamal al-Khateib, said Tuesday that the Israeli municipal council of Jerusalem planned to transform the yards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound into public parks and gardens, to make them accessible for the Jews to visit at any time.

Speaking to news hounds, Al-Khateib said that the process of 'Judaising' Jerusalem had been accelerated since the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. "The occupation is working to efface the Paleostinian features in the holy city through unprecedented procedures they carried out this month," he added.

"For the first time, the occupation has allowed settlers and gunnies to access Al-Aqsa compound during Ramadan paying no attention to the feelings of the Moslem worshipers there," he said. "Meanwhile,

the municipality which represents the occupation approved a decision to consider the yards in Al-Aqsa compound public parks which anybody can access."

In mid-July Paleostinian officials denounced Yehuda Weinstein, the Israeli attorney general, after he claimed that the Al-Aqsa area was part of Israel and referred to the mosque's courtyards as public space.

Weinstein was quoted on Israeli news sites as saying the area was under Israeli jurisdiction for matters such as planning and building, and said the courtyard was for public use.

In his remarks Tuesday, Al-Khateib said soldiers tossed in the clink
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
the imam of the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Friday while he was praying. "Israeli troops stormed the mosque and prevented worshipers from completing their prayer," he said.

On Thursday a mosque guard told Ma'an that 20 rightists entered the grounds of the holy site.

#1  the rules for visiting the temple mount have changed over the years

for about a decade or so after the 67 war non Muslims were allowed considerable access

subsequently the rules were tightened and for the past decade non Muslims have had restricted hours and restricted locations

some rabbinical deciders say Jews aren't supposed to be anywhere on the temple mount, others say not within 20 feet of the dome of the rock
