Israeli Army Raises Israeli Flag on Mosque Minaret in Dura
uploaded 29 Sep 2002
DURA, West Bank (IAP News) - In a brazen provocation to Muslim
sensibilities, the Israeli army on Wednesday desecrated the Grand Mosque
in Dura and placed the Israeli flag atop the mosque minaret.
Palestinian sources also reported that Israeli occupation soldiers
urinated and defecated inside the Mosque after breaking into it
Wednesday morning.
Palestinians expressed their profound indignation at the Israeli army
conduct, calling it "disgusting and characteristic of Jewish disregard
for anything non-Jewish."
"How would Jews feel if Nazis hoisted the Swastika flag atop a Jewish
synagogue. We have the same feeling when we see the Israeli flag atop
our holy places," said Hasan al Haroub.
"The Jews experienced German Nazism, we are experiencing Jewish Nazism,"
he said with bitterness apparent in the tone of his voice.
Since the beginning of the intifada, Israeli troops destroyed and
desecrated scores of mosques and churches in the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip.
However, the sacrilegious acts received little coverage in the West,
particularly in the United states.
