Palestinian TV-- Jews Have No Historical Connection to Western Wall -- Its an Islamic Site named for Muhammad's Horse -- Palestinian Media Watch

"During the month of Ramadan, Palestinian Authority television programs focus on religious themes. But even within these programs, PA TV inserts political, hate and violence messages directed at Israel. PA TV is run by the office of PA President Mahmoud Abbas." Palestinian Media Watch - Jews Have no Historical Connection to Western Wall (click on this link to the Palestinian Media Watch home page, then click on the link to this article in the right hand panel on the PMW page).

Can there be peace when even the so-called moderates, like President Abbas, spread propraganda like this trying to delegitimize Jews' claim to holy sites from the Bible, and spreading Holocaust denial (yes, Abbas wrote a Holocaust denial book over 10 years ago to burnish his revolutionary credentials)? Does this prepare the next generation for co-existence? What would World opinion do to Israel (and how would the media go ballistic) if Olmert's press office published a "scholarly" account denying any connection of Islam with the Temple Mount?
