“As an Iranian, I look at the history of Judea and I do not see a dispute over real estate,” Navabi adds. “I see a crime scene that looks painfully familiar. My own ancestors watched their Zoroastrian Fire Temples destroyed or buried beneath mosques. The method of Islamic expansion has always been building directly on top of the indigenous holy sites to demonstrate that the new power has crushed the old.”

“This is exactly what happened in Jerusalem,” Navabi continues, explaining that the Muslim Dome of the Rock was built directly over top of the Jewish Temple Mount. Navabi notes that “this is no accident,” but rather a deliberate mark of Islamic dominion over other religions, a “deliberate act to assert dominance over the preceding faith.”

But, Navabi points out, the Muslims made a crucial mistake. “[B]y building on top of Jewish ruins, the conquerors permanently cemented the proof of who was there first.”

If an Arab structure was built over top of an ancient Jewish structure, simple logic dictates that the Jewish structure was there first.

STOP U.S. Plans for a “Palestinian State”!

Muhammad was an Arab, who was born in the year 570 A.D. in the land then known as “Arabia” but what is now known as Saudi Arabia. Muhammad did not even establish his new religion, Islam, until the year 670 A.D. — literally thousands of years after history's more recent Jewish archaeology sites were erected/established in Israel.

When Jews and Christian refused to adopt Muhammad’s new religion, he killed and conquered everyone in his path, and instructed his followers to come and do the same. As his bloody faith spread, entire cultures, religions, and languages were replaced with Islam and Arabic — EXCEPT Israel. Every historical record agrees on this point.

There is ZERO mention of a distinct “Palestinian people” in all of history, from any text or even archaeological source prior to the 1960s.

In 1947, as the United Nations was debating on Israel, Ahmad al-Shukeiri (who later became the first chairman of the PLO) told the U.N. Security Council: “It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria.” No “Palestinian people” are mentioned in those early U.N. debates.

Instead, as admitted by PLO leader Zuheir Mohsen in 1977, the “Palestinian people” moniker was nothing more than a political “tool” intended to eradicate the Jewish people from their own land.

"Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons,” Mohsen admitted. “The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel,” and unite Arabs, he added.

Islam’s Arabs have conquered all of the Middle East and much of Africa as well. To claim that the Jews — whose presence in Israel predates Muhammad’s “Arabs” by thousands of years — are the conquerors is ignorant beyond belief.

While I agree with President Trump on many issues, he is DEAD WRONG on dividing Israel. We cannot allow the White House or Congress to give in to Islam’s lies and reward the Arabs with yet another conquest. Fax Congress now and tell them: Israel deserves Sovereignty Now! STOP the Two-State Solution!
