Saeb Erekat told Reuters that he found it «distasteful», this use of religion to incite hatred and fear.

Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat last week blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for quoting from the Bible in order to draw a connection between Jerusalem and the Jews.

In his Jerusalem Day address to the Knesset marking the 43rd anniversary of the reunification of the city under Israeli control, Netanyahu highlighted the prominent place Jerusalem holds in the Jewish Bible, where it is mentioned no fewer than 850 times. This is including the times the city is referred to as «Zion».

A day later, Erekat told Reuters that he found it «distasteful, this use of religion to incite hatred and fear».

Erekat insisted that the eastern half of Jerusalem is «an occupied Palestinian town» that must be surrendered by Israel.

The Palestinians have worked hard over the past few decades to erase the Jews’ millennia-old history in Jerusalem, including claims that there never was a Jewish temple atop the Temple Mount and that Jesus was in fact a Palestinian Arab.

My comment:

The Bible gives the Jewish people the right to be the caretakers of Israel. When the Prime Minister of Israel reads from the Bible, He reads from the only legal document that can be used as a solid defense for a Jewish state in the Middle East.

When Arab Palestinians want to stop the Israeli PM from quoting from the Bible, it is a bid to delegitimize the Jewish state. Because the Koran can not be used to defend a «Palestinian» state with Jerusalem as its capital. Simply because the Koran does not mention Jerusalem, not even once.

And even worse:

Islam is the religion that provokes the Arabs to a «distasteful use of religion to incite hatred and fear».

There are no Jewish suicide bombers.

The Jews do not blow up their own houses of worship, and kill their brethren.

The Jews do not use Middle Age inspired sharia laws to enforce their beliefs on neither Jews nor non-Jews

Shame on Saeb Erekat, and all who support his Jihad on the people of the book, Jews and Christians.

I pray that the Mesiah Jesus of Nazareth will bring them down on their knees so they do not end up in the fire of Hell. Repent or perish.

Is there any difference between Saeb Erekat`s views and the views of the Obama Administration? Take a look:
