Changing History

Here's a quote from PA Prime-Minister Mahmoud Abbas today:

"Israel is working on a daily basis to Judaize Jerusalem by building settlements, not permitting (Palestinians) to build and by assaults on the Al-Aqsa mosque, like we see today," Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told Yemen's state-run TV on Monday.

Hmmmm..... from what I knew and from history books, the Al-Aqsa Mosque was built on top of the site of the Second Jewish Temple in an attempt to "Islamize" Jerusalem.....

Israel's press office should quickly reach out to news agencies and set the record straight on this matter, and if the reaction is... : "well... this was long ago, we need to see the facts on the ground now", then perhaps Israel should hold tight and in a few centuries the facts on the ground will be that Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish state called Israel. Period.
