Report: 2013 saw an escalation in Israel’s Judaization activities in J’lem

The Islamic Christian authority for patronizing Jerusalem and holy sites said that 2013 has seen an unprecedented escalation in Israel’s Judaization activities in the occupied city of Jerusalem.

In a report on Monday, the Islamic Christian authority said that during the outgoing year, the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) had seized more Palestinian lands, demolished scores of Jerusalemite homes, displaced hundreds of Palestinian natives and intensified its raids and desecration campaigns against the Islamic and Christian holy sites, especially the Aqsa Mosque.

The IOA has also taken multiple measures and actions to Judaize occupied Jerusalem and its holy sites and erase their Arab identity.

Secretary-general of the authority Hanna Isa said that the daily desecration of the Aqsa Mosque by Jewish settlers, troops and officials was the most prominent challenge which the Palestinian natives in the holy city had faced during 2013.

Isa affirmed that the IOA had established many Jewish shrines and projects for its settles around and beneath the Aqsa Mosque, including a museum under its foundations, warning that Israel has come close to declaring the Mosque a Jewish synagogue.
