Dr. Barghouti on Israeli "National Heritage Site" claim in Hebron, OPT

02/22/10: PLC member Mustafa Barghouti explains the significance of P.M. Netanyahu's declaration of the Cave of the Patriarchs/Ibrahimi Mosque as an Israeli national heritage site. The day after Netanyahu's declaration Dr. Barghouti visited Hebron and takes questions from the press and the public after he exits Ibrahimi Mosque.

On Netanyahu's declaration, Barghouti says, "It's meant to be a provocation. First of all to provoke Palestinians here - especially four days before the anniversary of the big massacre that happened here by the crazy settler Baruch Goldstein against 29 Palestinians - but also it is meant to undermine, in my opinion, any possibility of peaceful negotiations."
