Must-See Al-Jazeera TV

Baloney, meet grinder. Al-Jazeera interviewer, meet an Israeli Professor of Arabic. Discuss the Israeli "Judaization" of Jerusalem.

Here it is with English subtitles.

If you know any Hebrew, see how easy it is to understand Arabic with the aid of Hebrew subtitles here.

Only one point in the video needs elucidation. The top Al-Jazeera journalist, Jamal Rayyan, begins quoting the Koranic verse he believes refers to Jerusalem, only to stop halfway through when he realizes it only refers to the "furthest mosque," not Jerusalem. Here is the whole verse:

Glory to He who took His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the furthest mosque.

Here is an explanation of the verse, and how later Muslims tried to refer to Jerusalem.
