We said of Obama's promise that it was a promise by someone who is unable, to those whose right [to the land] it is already. Balfour's promise to the Jews of Europe - a homeland in Palestine - was a preventive step, because in his letter he sketched a road map for freeing his country and Europe of the burden of the Jewish problem, and of the bases for the spread of Communism in western Europe, which was led by the poor, the European workers, and the Jews... The Jews of the Zionist enterprise sought a promise from Balfour, who had the ability, because they knew that only the strongest power in the world at the time [Britain] could impose the conditions for the establishment of a state for the Jews. His promise was an ominous sign, [bringing] disasters upon the Palestinians, the Arabs, and the nations of the region and the world." Click to view bulletin

"Today is the 94th anniversary of the cursed Balfour promise [The Balfour Declaration of 1917], by which Britain awarded the Jews the right to establish a national home in Palestine, based on the false slogan, 'A land without a people for a people without a land'. ... This promise represented the first step taken by the West on the road to establishing an entity for the Jews on the land of Palestine, in accordance with the wishes of World Zionism, at the expense of a people which had been rooted in this land for thousands of years. ... The Jews made successful use of the piece of paper published by Arthur Balfour, known for his friendship with the Zionist Movement, and later the [British] Mandate and the 1947 resolution by the [UN] General Assembly concerning the Partition of Palestine: They realized their dream of establishing [the State of] Israel on May 15th, 1948, and this entity earned membership in the UN thanks to pressure by the super powers.

Jerusalem, Hebron, Tel Aviv and other cities originally had Arabic names? Source: Al-Hayat Al-Jadida,?July 1, 2011 Official PA daily's columnist on religious affairs, Is'haq Feleifel: ???? "The great and exalted Allah commanded the angel Gabriel to place Muhammad upon the riding beast [named] Al-Buraq, which was a cross between horse and donkey. The night journey was both physical and spiritual... Once he [Muhammad] reached the Al-Aqsa Mosque, (PMW note: the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem was not yet built in the time of Muhammad. The "night journey" mentioned in the Quran is dated to 621 CE. The mosque was built on the Temple Mount by the son of Ummayad Caliph Abd Al-Malik 84 years later in 705 CE.) the angel Gabriel removed Muhammad from upon Al-Buraq's back, and then he tied the beast to the Al-Buraq rock, which was called the 'Al-Buraq Wall'. The Jews changed its name to the 'Wailing Wall', because the Jews are always trying to change Arabic names into Hebrew names, especially when it comes to prayer sites or names of towns and villages. For example, they call Al-Quds 'Jerusalem'; Al-Khalil [they call] 'Hebron'; Atara - 'Atarot, Nablus - 'Shechem', Tel Al-Rabi'a - 'Tel Aviv'(PMW note: 'Rabi'a' is the Arabic translation of the Hebrew word 'aviv', meaning 'spring'); Askelan - Ashkelon. There is not enough room to list all the names which have been replaced with false names. Even the 'Torah' falsified, changed and forged; this is the way of the Jews - they always try to change the real names to other, false names, in order to erase the [historical] facts."

The truth must be told. Some of the Palestinian players against Egypt were Jews. The reason for this was that the Jews who lived [here] at that time were Palestinians to the bone, because the [Israeli] state entity had not yet been born. They lived among us like the Muslims and Christians who were Palestinians like them. The Hebrew entity attempted to falsify history, saying that it was the Israeli team which participated in the 1934 qualifying rounds. It became clear to everyone, as well as to FIFA, that the purpose of these attempts was to erase our people?s history, to delete it and obliterate it from historical records. Since the beginning of the Jewish immigration to Palestine and the establishment of the first colony in 1882, they have attempted to claim that this is a country without a people, and therefore they carried out acts of expulsion of our people, by means of dozens of acts of massacre, and at the same time encouraged Jews in Europe to emigrate to Palestine, in various ways... Today we recall the memory of our pure Shahids (Martyrs), who paved the way for our people?s freedom, first among them Yasser Arafat; Sheikh Ahmed Yassin; Fathi Shekaki; Amr Al-Qassem; Abu Ali Mustafa; [Che] Guevara of Gaza [Muhammad Al-Aswad]; Dalal Mughrabi; Abu Iyad; Abu Jihad; Lena Al-Nablusi; Iman Hijjo; Faisal Al-Husseini; Al Abu Touq; and the Shahids of the eternal Land Day in the?Interior (i.e., Israel).?

Concerning the purpose of the Palestinian party?s request for serious Arab activity at UNESCO, the Foreign Minister?s advisor on Arab affairs said that the Arab, Islamic and Christian heritage in Jerusalem and in Bethlehem was facing a dangerous Israeli policy, because the occupation state considered some of the holy sites in Bethlehem and in Hebron as part of the Jewish tradition.
