The roadblock to peace

Palestinian TV: Jews are 'impure'

Israel's 'peace partners' in the Palestinian Authority (PA) this week continued to work to ensure that there will never be true peace when they informed the Palestinian public that Jews are impure infidels.

In its Sunday broadcast on PA TV the program Sights of Jerusalemreported on the weekend rain in Jerusalem, and in particular on the Temple Mount:

"The golden dome [of the Mosque of Omar] shines with colors of the sky, with the white of clouds, while the joyous holiday [Eid Al-Adha] is good to the residents. The light rain cleanses the steps of the foreigners [Jews] so that the feet [of Muslims] in prayer will not step on impurity."

Footage of religious Jews visiting the Temple Mount (Judaism's holiest site) was shown to make sure viewers understood that the impure foreigners spoken of are in fact Israeli Jews.

Back in August the same program referred to Jews praying at the Western Wall as "sin and filth" contaminating what should be a wholly Islamic city.

This is the common fare fed to a Palestinian public that was supposed to be educated for peaceful coexistence with Israel's Jews. And still Israel is blamed by the international community for being the roadblock to peace.
