Op-ed in official PA daily claims Jerusalem is Palestinian “from before Adam”
"Before you [the Jews] say Jerusalem is your capital, you must open the chests of millions [of Palestinians] with butchers' knives in order to uproot the city from within them, seal off the women's wombs, expel the birds and butterflies, slaughter the songs… bring Jesus down from Heaven and crucify him, hunt Al-Buraq (i.e., flying steed of Islam's Prophet Muhammad; see note below), digest the mountains in your stomachs, expel the olive trees from the land, and prevent the sun from shining, as it shines only for the sake of Jerusalem – which is ours from before Adam (i.e., the first man created by God mentioned in the Bible) and until after the resurrection of the dead."
Al-Buraq – According to Islamic tradition, Al-Buraq is the miraculous flying steed upon which Islam's Prophet Muhammad is said to have rode during his Night Journey from Mecca to "al aqsa mosque", i.e., "the farthest mosque" (Quran, Sura 17).
