Palestinian Islamists doubt meeting on Jerusalem

Gaza, February 28 (Prensa Latina) A political leader of the Islamist movement Hamas today thanked the international diplomatic efforts in favor of the Palestinians, but estimated that a recent meeting in Qatar on Jerusalem was only important for the media propaganda.

Speaking to an Iranian news agency, Fars News broadcast in Gaza, the political adviser of Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh in fact noted that the meeting held in Doha lacked practical results to stop the Israeli Judaization of the holy city.

Youssef Rizka, adviser to the leader of Hamas to political issues, acknowledged that the meeting brought together some 350 representatives from 70 countries, the authorities of the Arab League and UN, but did not modify the inattention to the demands of Israel and resolutions.

The meeting in Doha, which sessionou on 26 and 27 February, it was important for the media, "especially because of the presence in it of some important political figures and leaders," said Rizka.

He insisted that Tel Aviv continues to erase the Arab and Islamic identity of El-Quds (the Arabic name of Jerusalem) and the expansion of settlements, issues unrelated to the forums of complaint and conviction.

"Conferences such as these have no effect on plots (Zionists), since only are good for media consumption," repressed.

Similarly, other figures have warned that such meetings "only give Israel the opportunity to buy time to finance your stage of Judaizing" the city that houses the al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holy place of Islam.

On the other hand, Professor Paul Larudee opined that the United States and its Western allies have supported Israel and complicit in the crime "does not resolve the dispute over the the city, which is considered holy to four billion Christians, Muslims and Jews.

"The world has an opportunity to hold a project of ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem that has been underway since at least 1967 (the date of the Zionist occupation of Arab territories), and-in a broader context, for over a century," said activist of Iranian origin.

Deplored the racism against the Palestinians is protected by Israeli law and warned that "Judaization" is a term with the same stigma of "apartheid", "ethnic cleansing", "segregation" and others that describe the elimination of a people in favor of other.
