Jewish vs. Arab/Muslim claims to Jerusalem
Reader comment on item: What Jewish Ties to Jerusalem?

Submitted by Moshe (Israel), Jun 24, 2006 at 18:28

Jewish claims to Jerusalem are based on universally accepted, well documented HISTORICAL FACTS. They are based on SOLID EVIDENCE.

The Arab or Muslim claims are based on crude forgery of this evidence, spiced with imaginary fantasies, and on plain lies.

The only problem is that it is useless to try to bother an Arab/Muslim with historical facts.
