The Islamization of Jerusalem

Chaya Zissel Braun was
murdered on her first trip back from the Western
Wall where the indigenous Jewish population of
Israel continues to pray in the shadow of the shrine
established there by the Muslim conquerors from
which the racist Muslim settlers rain down rocks on
the Jewish worshipers.
The three-month old baby girl died when a Muslim
terrorist rammed a car into a crowd hurtling her
into the air and headfirst into the pavement. Her
death did not take place in isolation. It was not
caused by a tiny minority of extremists. Her blood
was spilled on the street for the Islamization of
Jerusalem.
The Islamization of Jerusalem is an international
cause. It does not just come out of Gaza City or
even Ramallah. Nor Doha or Istanbul. The politicians
and diplomats of every major country demand the
Islamization of Jerusalem. When they talk about a
Palestinian State with its capital in Jerusalem,
what they are really demanding is the restoration of
the Muslim ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem in 1948.
They are demanding it with words and boycotts. But
the Muslim settlers, on whose behalf they cry for
the Apartheidization of Jerusalem, are writing their
own demands with the blood of little girls.
The baby girl was murdered to Islamize a city. She
died as the Israeli soldiers had died reunifying
Jerusalem after the Arab Legion had ethnically
cleansed the Jewish population and as ordinary
Jerusalemites had died at the hands of Jordanian
snipers searching the city for Jewish and Christian
targets. The victims of those years of Muslim
occupation included Yaffa Binyamin, a 14-year-old
girl sitting on the balcony of her own house and a
Christian carpenter working on the Notre Dame
Convent.
Like Chaya, I was born in Jerusalem. Like Yaffa, I
lived in a building targeted by Muslim snipers. But
the Six Day War had ended the reign of Muslim
snipers over the city. The building where my parents
made their home had been cheap once because living
there could mean instant death for anyone looking
out of a window at the wrong time. The liberation
and reunification of Jerusalem had made it a place
where Jewish children could play on balconies and
Christians could repair churches without being
murdered.
Under Muslim occupation, while Jordanian snipers
were cold-bloodedly murdering their children, the
Jewish residents living under fire couldn’t so much
as put in an outhouse without being reported to the
UN for illegal construction. That is no
exaggeration. In one case a UN observer organization
held four meetings to discuss an outhouse for local
residents before condemning Israel for illegal
construction.
It did not however condemn Jordan when one of its
soldiers opened fire on a train wounding a Jewish
teenage girl.
Muslim outrage over Jewish outhouses mattered more
than the Muslim murder of Jewish children. It still
does. Today the State Department calls the murder of
that little girl a traffic incident while warning
Israel that Jews living in Jerusalem will end any
possibility of peace.
The hysterical condemnations of “illegal
construction” did not end when the Muslim occupation
did. The great outhouse of the United Nations and
the smaller outhouses of the foreign ministries of
countries whose leaders tremble whenever Muslims
grow agitated over a cartoon or a YouTube video fill
the air with the vilest of substances whenever a
Jewish family moves into a home in Jerusalem.
Hillary Clinton spent 45 minutes shrieking at
Netanyahu over the phone after a planning committee
allowed new housing in Jerusalem to advance to the
public comment stage, and told the media that the
proposal that Jews live in a part of Jerusalem that
she believes should belong to Muslims is “insulting”
to the United States.
The latest firestorm exploded over seven Jewish
families moving into homes that they had bought
legally in an area from which Jews had been
ethnically cleansed by racist Muslim violence in the
twenties and thirties. Before that the State
Department and White House warned that Israel was
alienating “even its closest allies” by proposing to
build houses on Airplane Hill, a place mainly known
for having an Israeli plane crash there during the
Six Day War and had formerly hosted temporary
housing for Russian and Ethiopian immigrants.
Meanwhile when Chaya was murdered, the State
Department urged “all sides to maintain calm and
avoid escalating tensions in the wake of this
incident.” It wasn’t as if anything important had
happened. Just an Israeli-American baby murdered in
pursuit of the same State Department goal of
Islamizing Jerusalem.
Secretary of State John Kerry did not call President
Abbas, the unelected president of the PLO’s
Palestinian Authority, to berate him when one of his
advisers called the murderer of that child a “heroic
martyr”. Hillary Clinton did not come out of
retirement to shriek at him over the phone when his
party suggested that the killer would be receiving
his 72 virgins in paradise.
Joe Biden, who had taken the time four years ago to
specifically “condemn the decision by the government
of Israel to advance planning for new housing units
in East Jerusalem”, had nothing to say. If only
something more important had happened than a
presidential advisor to an Obama-backed terror state
calling the murderer of an American child a hero,
like planning for new housing “advancing”.
No one objects when Muslim settlers build houses in
Jerusalem or anywhere else. But the objections pour
in when the indigenous Jewish population builds so
much as a house or an outhouse.
What we are talking about here is not peace, but
ethnic cleansing. In 1948, the Jews were ethnically
cleansed from Jerusalem to Islamize the city. Their
synagogues were blown up by the Muslim occupiers.
Their tombstones were used to line the roads
traveled by the racist Muslim settlers. In 1948, the
Jews were ethnically cleansed from Jerusalem to
Islamize the city. Whether they were Zionists or
anti-Zionists did not matter. They were not Muslims.
That was all that counted.
Their synagogues were blown up by the Muslim
occupiers. Their tombstones were used to line the
roads traveled by the racist Muslim settlers.
“For the first time in 1,000 years not a single Jew
remains in the Jewish Quarter,” Abdullah el-Talal, a
commander of the Muslim invaders, had boasted. “Not
a single building remains intact. This makes the
Jews' return here impossible.” In his memoirs he
wrote, “I knew that the Jewish Quarter was densely
populated with Jews who caused their fighters a good
deal of interference and difficulty…. Only four days
after our entry into Jerusalem the Jewish Quarter
had become their graveyard. Death and destruction
reigned over it.”
Life magazine published photos of the atrocity
writing that, “Muslim censors, not only in Palestine
but in neighboring Arab countries which have major
communication outlets, tried for a fortnight to keep
the news from leaking out.” The photographer who
took the photos was sentenced to death by the Arab
High Committee.
This ethnic cleansing is what Hillary Clinton, what
Joe Biden and John Kerry have been defending. The
Islamization of Jerusalem is the thrust of all the
peace plans put forward. Jews living in Jerusalem
outrages them as much as it outraged Abdullah.
The entire phony “Palestinian” narrative in which
the regional Sunni Arab Muslim majority, that is
busy slaughtering Christians, Kurds, Shiites and
anyone else it can get its hands on, acts as if it’s
the victim because its racist ethnic cleansing plans
were frustrated when its Jewish victims fought back
and won.
The Muslim occupiers have added insult to injury by
pretending to be the indigenous population to aid in
their attempts at displacing the indigenous Jewish
population through terror and lies.
Abdullah el-Talal, who became the military governor
of occupied Jerusalem, said, “I have seen in this
defeat of the Jews the heaviest blow rendered upon
them, especially in terms of morale, since they were
evicted from the Western Wall and from the Jewish
Quarter, for the first time in fifteen generations.”
Every politician who denounces Jews building houses
in Jerusalem, but not Muslims doing the same thing
is endorsing Abdullah’s genocidal vision and all the
terrorism that goes with it. Abdullah had done his
dirty work under the command of a British general.
The British parliament’s endorsement of an
Arab-Muslim occupying ethnostate under the
Palestinian flag is the continuation of an old and
ugly history.
The murder of little girls like Chaya Zissel Braun
does not take place in a vacuum. The Islamizers of
Jerusalem gain confidence when they see that the
international community stands behind their demands.
In 1920, racist Muslim settler mobs in Jerusalem had
chanted "Mohammed's religion was born with the
sword", “Death to the Jews” and “the government is
with us” as Muslim policemen under British colonial
rule had joined with them in the rape and murder of
the indigenous Jewish population.
Too many governments are still with those who wave
the sword of Mohammed and cry death to the Jews.
They encourage them, defend their agenda and issue
weak rebukes when blood is spilled in the name of
Islamization in Jerusalem, as it is in Kobani by
ISIS and a thousand other places. Those who endorse
the Islamization of Jerusalem cannot escape
responsibilities for the crimes of the Islamizers.
