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.

To me, this article is unclear. If Peter Beaumont wrote that section starting ” Denial of Jewish History …….”, isn`t that what as Jews we should say is fair comment, or am I missing something ?
It seems to me that all of these so-called journalists (and I use the term loosely) went to the Joseph Goebbels
It seems to me that these so-called journalists went to the Joseph Goebbels School of Journalism…. Goebbels said that the bigger the lie you tell, the more people will believe it!!!
The rising anti-antisemitism is concerning, in particular when it comes from a paper like the New York Times. You would think, after 9/11, they of all journos would not show support for radical Muslim terrorists on the premise that “either you are for me or against me”. Clearly they are not for Israel.
Can the Guardian sink any lower?…’twas once a bastion of objective, reputable journalism……….hasn’t been for years……………but now it’s hit new depths.
Also, re Palestinian claims – I can only repeat the advice given by Dr. Goebbels. “Repeat a lie often enough and it eventually becomes accepted as fact”.
The Guardian of falsehood and all things anti-Israel living up to its reputation …
As I keep repeating “Once Anti-Semitism raises its ugly head, all logic and rationality, flies out of the window”.
Of course! Didn’t your know that Titus destroyed a mosque on the Temple Mount, and the engraving of menorahs and Magen Davids on his triumph arch on Rome’s Forum are put there by sneaky Jew time travelers! [/sarcasm]
Freedom of the press, makes a mockery of democracy, in the hands of the Guardian and Haaretz.The issue is, how does one convert someone who an anti-Semite and anti-Israel? There is more anti-Semitism today, as a result of communication technology, than during the years that led up to the world war. The so-called “academics”, are having a field day as a result. Very scary and frightening, to say the least.
Arafat also claimed that Jesus of Nazareth, was Palestinian!
When this kind of lies comes to their neck of neibourhood then what will they do? It will happen to the West as soon as their is a majority and as soon as the power is changed in the West, as these Journalists will be inflaming the flames of the Jahardists.
This will not end before the pagan mosques there are leveled and the 3. Temple is built. In fact it will get worse and worse till that is done, so lets do it.
If Jews have no link with the Holy Land, where on earth did they get the language of Hebrew from?
Hebrew fits into the Semitic languages of the Middle East like a hand fits into a glove. Actually, it’s the other way round. Hebrew PRE-dates all the world’s modern spoken Semitic languages. THEY fit into Hebrew. The Jewish State is Hebrew’s homeland. It is where Hebrew belongs – as do the people there that speak it.. The language of Hebrew is the key connector between Jews and The Land of Israel.
