Statements by Radical Muslims calling for the destruction of Israel (and its ally the United States) By Discover The Networks (January 2007) Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, President of Iran “The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land.” “As the Imam [Ayatollah Khomeini] said, Israel must be wiped off the map.” “… the annihilation of the Zionist regime will come.” “The Islamic umma (community) will not allow its historic enemy [Israel] to live in its heartland.” “Any leaders in the Islamic umma who recognize Israel

The focus of new tensions on the Temple Mount – the Mercy Gate or Golden Gate compound – has not been chosen by chance by the Waqf council (in its new, broader, extreme composition) as the arena for provocation against Israel at the

Reprinted from Facts and Logic in the ME (FLAME) “Last week, Jordan took the dramatic step of significantly increasing Palestinian Arab control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. As a result, the anti-Semitic policies and anti-Israel activities on the Temple Mount are likely to intensify—if that is even possible. The Temple Mount was the site of both Solomon’s and Herod’s temples, which were destroyed. After the Arab conquest of Jerusalem in the seventh century, Muslim shrines were erected on the ruins of these Jewish holy places. At the southern end of the massive 35-acre Temple Mount complex—where the ancient Sanhedrin

The Palestinian Arabs and the Palestinian Jews were both residents of the Mandate of Palestine, from which the term “Palestinian” comes from. Palestinian Arabs have no absolute, natural right to self-determination of their own country without the reciprocal absolute natural right of the Palestinian Jew. The Palestinian Jew has the right to veto such “rights” of the Palestinian Arabs since Palestinian Jews had a prior right to create a national existence in the lands of the Mandate of Palestine, because the Palestinian Jews were there first. Palestinian Jews were there first, in spite of the Muslim waqf having tried to

We are not ignorant about our Jewish history. The Arab Palestinians in 1948 are not the original citizens in the land, not by a long shot. In 1948 and in decades prior, just as Arabs were immigrating, so too were Jews. However, the Jews are indigenous to the land and were the first to build a true civilization in the region that could be measured by any historical or archaeological standard, which is why the Waqf is so adamant in destroying the Temple Mount and the Jewish artifacts that are being found amidst the Waqf’s bulldozing. The Jews are the

But I got access to a small tunnel where electrical cables run….I was not supposed to be left there alone, as the Waqf always has someone present when Israeli archeologists are on the site….By chance the Arab electrical workers left me
