Denial of Jewish history is fake news

The effort by Muslim supremacists to deny any Jewish historical connection with the Temple Mount or even Israel is evidence in and of itself Islamic intolerance.

Here are some other items of fake news:

• Pope Francis announces that there is no hard evidence that Muhammad ever existed, so Islam is illegitimate and the Crusades should be revived.
• The Union of Orthodox Judaism has claimed that there is no record of Jesus, so all Christians should keep kosher.
• Britain has reclaimed sovereignty over the United States because the Founding Fathers were imaginary figures invented by the Illuminati. British troops will be landing presently.
• President Biden has announced that since the Mormons have no historical roots in Utah, they will be expelled.
• Emperor Naruhito of Japan claims that the surrender aboard the USS Missouri in 1945 was staged by Hollywood, and so the Pacific should return to Japanese control.
• KKK Imperial Wizard Ernie Roth claims that blacks have no historical connection to Africa, which should be invaded and taken over by white people.
• Vladimir Putin's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, claims that Ukraine's president Zelensky is a typical antisemitic Jew and that Hitler was part Jewish. Thus, Ukraine is a Nazi state that should be liberated by Russia. This one is real.
