Palestinierna tror på sina egna lögner

De palestinska myndigheterna och olika organisationer har under så lång tid matat befolkningen med lögner att de själva börjat tro på dem.
Mahmoud Abbas: Jerusalem är en arabisk kristen och muslimsk stad, den eviga huvudstaden för staten Palestina.

Palestinians react to US recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel (PMW)

In what the official PA news agency called an "unofficial translation" of Abbas' speech, Abbas repeated the Palestinian mantra that Jerusalem is an "Arab Christian and Muslim city," completely denying Jewish history in it:

"This is the holy land of Prophet Muhammad, the cradle of Jesus Christ and the burial site of Moses. We say that Jerusalem is the city of peace, the city of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the first of the two Qibla, the second mosque and the third of the two Holy Mosques, and the city of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
Jerusalem, the capital of the State of Palestine, is bigger and more ancient for its Arabic identity to be altered with a measure or a decision. The identity of Jerusalem and its history will not be forged.
US President Trump's decision tonight will not change the reality of the city of Jerusalem, nor will it give any legitimacy to Israel in this regard, because it is an Arab Christian and Muslim city, the eternal capital of the state of Palestine."
