The Temple Mount is back in the news with regular disturbances by Arab residents of Jerusalem and the attempted assassination of Rabbi Yehuda Glick on Wednesday night.
According to The Guardian:
US-born Glick is closely associated with the Temple Mount Faithful, a religious rightwing group that seeks to rebuild a Jewish temple at the religiously-important site that contains the al-Aqsa mosque and where the ancient second Jewish temple reputedly once stood.
“Reputedly”?!!
Has Peter Beaumont of The Guardian joined the ranks of Palestinian “Temple Deniers”? Many examples of this can be found at the Palestinian Media Watch site which explains:
Denial of the Jewish history in Jerusalem and the existence of the Jewish Temple is a central component PA political ideology. This denial started with Yasser Arafat and continues to be reiterated by academics, politicians and religious leaders. The PA systematically distorts 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.
It appears that The Guardian places the same value on Palestinian lies as it does on historical truth.
