Abbas' advisor: Jews “are thieves who stole the land… we have been here for 5,000 years”

Official PA TV, Friday prayers in the mosque of the presidential headquarters, sermon by Supreme Shari’ah Judge, Chairman of the Supreme Council for Shari'ah Justice, and Mahmoud Abbas’ advisor on Religious and Islamic Affairs Mahmoud Al-Habbash

Supreme Shari’ah Judge, Chairman of the Supreme Council for Shari'ah Justice, and Mahmoud Abbas’ advisor on Religious and Islamic Affairs Mahmoud Al-Habbash : “One of the terrorist criminals, who has become an Israeli parliament member, the one called Yehuda Glick, said yesterday [June 2, 2016] about the Al-Aqsa Mosque: ‘We [the Jewish people] belong to this land, and this land is ours, and one of these days we will build the [third] Temple.’ They [the Jews] claim that there was a Temple here. Those are unfounded claims, myths, and rumors. However, the problem between us and them is not a problem of religious or historical narrative. The problem is that they are thieves. The problem is that they are thieves who stole the land, and who want to steal the history, but history cannot change and cannot be falsified. The facts bear witness to it. We have been here for the last 5,000 years, and have not left this land. We have not left this land. Our forefathers are the monotheist Canaanites and Jebusites. They are the ones who built Jerusalem, before Abraham was even here."

There never was an ancient Palestinian-Arab nation. Arabs first arrived in the land of Israel/Judea with the Muslim invasion in 637 CE. Arabs first identified themselves as "Palestinians" in the 20th century, after the creation of the State of Israel. Claiming a 5,000 year old Palestinian nation is a historical lie.
