Israel - Moslems Upset by Jewish Land Purchases in Jerusalem

Israel - Sheikh Raad Salah, head of the Islamic Movement in Israel and Hamas supporter, a long-time enemy of Israel, called upon Arabs to continue their efforts to conquer Jerusalem. "We have to start a worldwide Islamic-Arab fund with the purpose of saving Jerusalem before it is lost to us." "The battle for Jerusalem does not involve tanks or artillery," Salah said. "Instead, the various Zionist institutions have employed a low and detestable style, with the support of American forces and other Western forces. These institutions work to collect billions of dollars, trying to put their hands, like pirates, on every cubit of the exalted land of Jerusalem, and on every home and every store and every market and every neighborhood and every holy part. This is, most unfortunately, what is happening night and day."

A small number of Jewish organizations, are dedicated to purchasing lands - usually Jewish-owned but, of late, Arab-occupied - from Arabs in Jerusalem.
