MK Calls for Arab Conquest of Jerusalem

More evidence of Israel's Big Problem. Of course, the Leftist judiciary will shield him from any consequences.

MK Ibrahim Sarsour (UAL-TA'AL) drew the ire of right-wing Knesset members on Sunday when he called for "Muslims and Arabs" to "liberate Jerusalem.

Why is this only a concern of the "right-wing?"

Speaking at the "Jerusalem First" conference in Ramallah, the lawmaker emphasized the importance of Jerusalem to Islam, and called on participants to "act together to become a torrent on the road to liberation."

"Just as the Muslims once liberated Jerusalem from the Crusaders, so must we today believe that we can liberate Jerusalem. It is not an impossible dream," he said.

MK Muhammad Barakei (Hadash) accused Israel of trying to "empty Jerusalem of its Palestinian inhabitants." Calling Jerusalem a "national issue, not just a religious issue," he called on Palestinians to take cohesive, immediate action to "reclaim the city."

Ufortunately the real problem is that in order to be elected, Israeli-Arab politicians have to compete to be the most anti-Israel. What does that say about their constituency?

No question, they know their audience. Yesterday we reported that half of Arab-Israelis felt that the 4,000 Hezbollah missiles were justified, even though many killed Arabs.

Time for Israel to take controll of the Temple Mount. They could then control all activity on the site, and allow all faiths to worship in peace. If one faith causes proplems keep them off for a week, a month, a year or forever if the problem remains.
