EU heads of mission report on East Jerusalem
VII. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM46. As described above, Christians and Muslims living east of the Separation Barrier/ wall are increasingly unable to reach their holy sites in East Jerusalem. Permits are only granted in limited numbers on the occasion of great celebrations. In addition, males under the age of 45, even if they can get into Jerusalem, are seldom allowed onto the Haram Al-Sharif compound in the old city (a site considered the third holiest in Islam). Indeed, Israel effectively exercises a veto on who enters the compound. Cameras have been placed at the entrance of the other gates to the Haram Al-Sharif, pointing inwards towards the compound, and Israeli Security personnel are stationed at the entrance to all of the gates determining who is granted access. In addition, by their control of the Mughrabi gate, Israel imposes an unregulated influx of tourists on the Haram without prior negotiation with the Waqf, the Jordanian Islamic authority with jurisdiction over the compound.
As a Christian who was forcibly denied my religious rights upon the Temple Mount by Nazi Muslims aided and abetted by Israeli authorities, who was denied my religious right to pray upon the Temple Mount on our holy Sabbath day and biblical festival by Nazi Muslims aided and abetted by Israeli authorities, and was denied my religious right to read the Bible upon the sacred site of the holy temples of the God of Israel by Nazi Muslims aided and abetted by Israeli authorities, as the Jewish Bible and Greek New Testament testify graced Jerusalem (contrary to Nazi Muslim lies), I take great umbrage at the EU's distorted version and partial view of this issue of religious freedom! Let them read A House of Prayer for All Peoples? and be ashamed.
Apparently it hasn't occurred to the EU that those Arab males under 45 who are "seldom" enabled to visit the Temple Mount seldom do so without rioting and inciting violence and murder against Jews, Israelis and Americans.
Why does the EU express concern for Muslim religious rights, when Judaism's holiest site, the Temple Mount, allegedly Islam's third holiest site (although Jerusalem is never mentioned once in the Koran), is off-limits to religious Jews to pray or worship upon, even on the biblical Jewish festivals? This is especially grievous in light of the fact that the Bible reveals the God of Israel commands Jews and Israelites to ascend His holy hill and worship Him there on His holy days, as well as righteous Gentiles.
The EU's miserable failure to truly respect biblical Christian and Jewish religious rights upon the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, as well as their vain attempts to ignore or dismiss Jewish biblical claims to the Promised Land of Israel - while advocating and pontificating for "Palestinians" - raises legitimate concerns that their document of destruction is akin to Fatah and Hamas and other terrorist organization's charters that seek Israel's phased destruction.
The EU's document of death to Israel is simply another political attempt to drive a stake into the heart of Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem,Europe's New Crusade, a concerted effort by those obsessed with an agenda to drive out the Jews from East Jerusalem, and invoke UN Resolution 181 as the FINAL SOLUTION, leaving the German-Jesuit EU in control of the coveted holy city.
