PA professor: No Jewish connection to Western Wall

In a previous post, I commented on a Palestinian Media Watch report which detailed an official Palestinian Authority claim that Israel is a racist state, and wishes to expel all Palestinians. Here is another report, in which a Palestinian Authority professor claims that there is no Jewish connection to the Western Wall (Kotel). Mountains of archaeological evidence and written records apparently mean nothing to this academic. The fact that his salary is paid by the group with whom Israel is to make peace means nothing to those on the Left who insist Israel must create a Palestinian state out of Israeli territory. There is literally nothing which the Palestinians can do or say which will convince the Left that peace with Israel is the furthest thing from the Palestinians' minds.

For example:

• Teach hatred of Israel and Jews in school textbooks? Check.
• Celebrate the deaths of innocents slaughtered in a pizza parlor? Check.
• Refuse to acknowledge Israel as the Jewish state? Check.
• Smuggle anti-tank weapons into the Gaza Strip? Check. (Against whom would these weapons be used? Egypt?)
• Randomly fire rockets at civilian centers, from civilian centers? Check.
• Stand in line at a disco and detonate a bomb belt with ball bearings? Check.

And Israel is still pressured to make "goodwill gestures." Incredible.
