The city of al-Quds, the holy city par excellence and Palestinian capital, is suffering one of the most cruel wars in its history: the Zionist occupier destroys it’s history - it’s relics, it’s cemeteries, mosques and churches, it’s palaces and it’s old patrician mansions. In silence, hidden from the outside world, al-Quds, is raped and destroyed - clandestinely in order to conceal from the Jewish commonly owed main-stream - media, always attracted to the smell of blood and death.
The Zionist occupier, also in silence leads a war against the inhabitants of al- Quds, initially bulldozing houses, also stopping and abducting children and young people, torturing them, and expelling representatives of the city and it’s people, by depleting it’s merchants and artisans and by spreading narcotic drugs, to brutalize the young ones.
Formal detailed accounts presented by the city of al-Quds, usually ignored by most media in the world, whether Arabic or Western based, underline the seriousness of the situation faced by the city and its people, who suffer from this war which they face with determination, alone, abandoned by all. A recent report by the PLO which studied the destruction and the occupation of Palestinian homes in the city of al-Quds, reveal that; since 1967, 3,300 homes were destroyed, including many historical and religious sites situated in the eastern part of the city, which was occupied in 1967 - and since 2006, 499 houses have been destroyed in Maqdisi.
This is the true cruel war waged by Zionist barbarism against Muslim civilization, in the holy city of al-Quds. In Palestine and, more generally, what we are seeing today, these are the facts on ground. So do not believe in the tales of every Muslim or Arab or other, which are claiming they work for justice in the world.
A UN report indicates that the destruction of houses in 2011 rose to 80% from 2010 (throughout the West Bank, the eastern parts of al-Quds included). The study center of ARIJ (al-Quds) scored that more than 650 Palestinian homes were destroyed in the Eastern parts of al-Quds between the years of 2000 and 2009,and today, under the pretext that these are houses built without permits, 4300 homes are threatened with destruction by the municipality of the occupier.
Understand that, in the logic of the occupier, it is himself who should issue building permits, not only in the town of al-Quds, but also in most of the occupied West Bank, under the regime the Oslo Accords. As long as he does not deliver, the Palestinians should neither build nor live, or stay in their country. This is the logical - intelligence of the colonial ethno-religious cleansing that is adepted and dominates everywhere in occupied Palestine, whether in al-Jalil, al-Naqab, al-Aghwar (Jordan Valley), or in al-Khalil and al-Quds.
Meanwhile, the Zionist occupier have increased the construction of housing units in settlements and erected new structures. Despite of UN and international resolutions the arrogant Zionist entity does not care, because this enterprise remains protected by international powers, infiltrated by Zionism. 200,000 Jewish settlers live in the 12 mega-colonies in and around al-Quds, and in nearly 90 strategically scattered settlements in Palestinian areas, particularly in the area of the old city of al Quds, the"Intramuros".
In compliance with the forces of the municipality, the settlers are spreading death and violence in Palestinian neighborhoods, where they haveby using force of arms, established themselves. They kill, terrorize and abuse the young ones, the Palestinian children and oppress their families, because these Maqdisis, are rooted in their country and their city, and with all their rights, persistently refuse to leave their homes and abandon their land.
A recent statistical study of the "al Aqsa Institution" shows that the occupant has decided to provide a near-permanent presence in the al-Aqsa Mosque, whether by settlers, “soldiers of his army” or its “security and intelligence services”. In recent months, the Zionist occupier profaned the Holy Mosque almost every day. Jewish settlers penetrate to perform their religious ceremonies, while their “security forces” are standing by and watching, dressed up in military uniform. The study published by the al-Aqsa Institution reveal that it is often in the early morning settlers and “soldiers” are walking around in the Mosque, an average of 450 Jewish settlers and 300 Zionist members of security forces visiting the Mosque every month.
The al-Aqsa Institution and other institutions of the Maqdisi community, launched several years ago scholarly seminars inside their Mosque, and for young people and children daily activity programs related to the history of the al-Aqsa Mosque and the city of al-Quds in general. However as expected, this frequent Palestinian presence inside the Mosque, deemed inconvenient by the occupier, so in recent months the Muslim presence in the al-Aqsa Mosque became the subject of all kind of abuses: the confiscation of ID-cards and the arrests of students who go there to worship.
Conclusion
On a daily bases the Zionist entity Israel, is launching a cruel war against the Palestinians in al-Quds, and against the Palestinian presence in their own city and in their own Holy sanctuaries. The Palestinians righteously resist, and fulfill the requirements of their duty with dignity. To live and remain in their own city and in their own country, despite the cruel war waged against them, without fearing the enemy, attending scholarly educational lectures, youth and children activities, or attend religious prayers in their own Mosques and Churches.
The Palestinians of al-Quds have long nourished a hope – that is: Arabs and Muslims around the world, standup together in solidarity, be loyal to the common cause, take immediate actions, do not ignore the Palestinians of al-Quds, do not turn away from our struggle and determination.
