A Palestinian Authority university lecturer is the latest PA academic to rewrite history and deny Jewish history in Jerusalem - in particular, the Jewish people's connection to the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) of the Jewish Temple.


Shamekh Alawneh, a lecturer in modern history at Al-Quds Open University, says the Jews invented the connection to the Wall for political purposes, to convince European Jews and Zionists to come to "Palestine."


"It has no historical roots," he said on a television program called Jerusalem - History and Culture. "This is political terminology to win the hearts and the support of the Zionists in Europe, so they would emigrate and come to Palestine. Nothing more!"


The show's interviewer also refers to the "Judaization" of Jerusalem, and to Jewish plots to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque.


Denying Jewish history in Jerusalem and the existence of the Jewish Temple is a central component of PA political ideology. This denial started with Yasser Arafat and continues to be reiterated by academics, politicians and religious leaders.
PA leaders systematically distort the ancient history of Jerusalem, ignoring the vast historical documentation and thousands of archeological finds related to Jewish history that have been found in Jerusalem.

  • These claims can easily be proven to be historically inaccurate. The Ottomans built a huge mosque on the most sacred site for Jews - Muslims also built one on Rama's birthplace in India, which still upsets Hindus.

    Al-Quds Open "University" is a training ground for Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which honors suicide bombers at its graduation ceremonies.

  • What is funny, is the term 'wailing wall' is a mildly derogatory term coined by Christians to refer to how the jews look when they are preying at the Western Wall of the temple, Western Wall being the correct name for this stack of stones.

  • Thank you for exposing them in their own words!!!

  • They claim that "It's King Solomon's Wall" -- but what if "King Solomon" had left behind a toilet? Would Israelis pray to that toilet?

  • Anyone interested in real Pedophile behavior should simple google or search:
