Fake graves empty burials sowed by powers Israeli occupation In a city Jerusalem The occupied, and puts evidence bearing names in the Hebrew language, despite being free of any remains. This practice comes within a systematic policy aimed at controlling endowment lands and Palestinian property in Jerusalem, as well as falsifying the history of the city, and changing its visual and cultural identity, in an effort to impose the alleged Jewish narration at the expense of the Islamic and Arabic novel that extends over the centuries.
These graves are spread in large numbers, and are estimated in thousands, in various locations of the city of Jerusalem, especially in the vicinity Old town Al -Aqsa Mosque The blessed, as part of attempts to isolate Islamic and Christian attractions with artificial symbols that are not based on any documented historical basis.
History of origin and establishment
In 1978, the Israeli occupation began with the cultivation of fake graves in Silwan townWhich is the southern extension of the blessed Al -Aqsa Mosque and its first defense line in the face of the Judaization attacks and projects.
From Silwan, this policy expanded and included other regions in Jerusalem, when the occupation authorities resorted to bulldozing the lands of the Palestinians by allegedly establishing them on ancient Jewish graves, while prohibiting the maintenance of hundreds of historical Islamic tombs, but rather to bulldozing a number of them.
Ccumenary researchers confirmed that the occupation authorities have planted more than 13 thousand fake graves since 1978, about 32% of them were distributed in the town of Silwan, because of the strategic location attached to the Al -Aqsa Mosque within the projects of Judaizing the city and changing its historical and civilizational features.
She supervises the cultivation of these fake graves and the establishment of evidence on them by official bodies and multiple Israeli settlement societies, most notably:
- The occupation municipality in Jerusalem.
- The Israeli Ministry of Religious Services.
- The Israel Antiquities Authority.
- The settlement “Ead” settlement association.
- Private Jewish burial companies.
Motivates and goals
The official establishment and settlement societies have intentionally Israel To establish these fake graves after their failure to find documented Jewish monuments in the Holy City, which prompted them to fabricate an artificial history to achieve a number of goals, most notably:
- Control of endowment lands and Palestinian property in Jerusalem.
- Restricting the Jerusalemites and preventing them from urban expansion.
- Tight control over the areas surrounding the blessed Al -Aqsa Mosque, in preparation for its demolition and construction Structure The alleged place.
- Falsifying the history of Jerusalem and blurring its visual and Arab and Arab cultural identity throughout the ages.
- Beat the Jerusalem population gatherings and surround them from all directions with the aim of pushing the residents forcibly towards migration outside the city.
- Promoting allegations of an alleged civilized and historical heritage in Jerusalem, especially in the Al -Aqsa Mosque.
- The demolition of the homes of Jerusalemites and the closure of the roads adjacent to these graves under the pretext of their establishment over Jewish graves.
Extreme counterfeiting
The process of creating fake graves is carried out by digging a hole with a depth of 35 centimeters, with a diameter of 40 centimeters, in which iron bars are instilled over it, a layer of armed cement. After that, ancient stone evidence is placed on these graves brought from the outside and distributed throughout the cemetery to give the archaeological character to it.
Evidence bears Jewish names that claim that their owners have died long ago, along with phrases such as “here a sacred place … here is a Jewish cemetery”, in addition to stones that carry the symbols of the alleged temple and the hexagonal star. The occupation also uses polystyrene to make these graves due to its resistance to decomposition over time.
The Israeli authorities allow any Jew around the world to buy an empty grave in Jerusalem, claiming that it is allocated to its grandparents buried outside Palestine.
According to the head of the Islamic Cemetery Committee in Jerusalem, Mustafa Abu Zahra, the Israeli Antiquities Authority workers dig these graves and pour armed cement on them, then they add old stones and the dirt layer to give them the appearance of the ancients, despite the presence of official documents with the Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem prove that these lands are pure Islamic endowments.
Widespread
The frequency of fake graves is accelerated in occupied Jerusalem, and the mechanisms of the Israeli occupation continue on a daily basis to dig more of them in several locations within the city, most notably the following:
The fake graves are spread in multiple areas of the town of Silwan, including Wadi Silwan, Ras Al -Amoud and Al -Shehah area. The Israeli occupation claims that these sites embrace a cemetery belonging to the Jews of the Kingdom of Judah, claiming that the slopes under the town include the remains of Jews.
The municipality of the occupation municipality shows that about half of the residents of Wadi Al -Rababah neighborhood, whose number exceeds 700 people, lives on what you call the “ruins of the cemetery”, but the neighborhood residents reject these allegations, stressing that there are no remains of the Jews in their lands.
Israeli sources also claim that Silwan houses recall the old “city of David”, noting that the rock slopes were used to carve ancient Jewish graves, and that Israeli archaeologists were able to document about 50 cemeteries, some of which are sound and others are partly damaged.
It also claims that these graves constitute one of the most prominent remains of what is known as the first temple, and that their presence has been known since the early 19th century, but access to them and the conduct of extensive research has not become available until yet The six -day war 1967.
In addition, these sources claim that the first residents of Silwan, in the 15th century AD, turned the graves into housing, and in the 16th century, Arab immigrants joined them from eastern Jordan, and they set up homes and huts over the caves and in the vicinity of the site.
As for the Wadi Al -Rababah neighborhood, the occupation sows fake graves over historical Islamic graves, as these graves extend towards areas of the land of “Slodha” near the Umayyad palaces in the southeastern side of the Marwani prayer.
Fake graves are also spread in an area Olive mountain (Al -Tor) and its sins east of the Al -Aqsa Mosque, and the region is filled with thousands of burials on an area of about 400 dunums (the dunum is equivalent to a thousand square meters), within what is known as the largest and most important Jewish cemetery in the world, called “Harzitim”.
Despite the Israeli prosecution of the tightness of burial spaces for Jews inside Jerusalem, the authorities continue to grow more fake graves in the region. In the cemetery, prominent Israeli and political figures were buried in the cemetery, including the writer Eliezer bin Judea, Rabbi Abraham Cook and Obdia Bertinoro, and the former Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
The cemetery is expanded daily without actual funerals or real burial operations, as the occupation mechanisms are digging graves and cement in them, and then evidence that carries writings in the Hebrew language is proven, in an attempt to give the actual burial on them.
The Jews see the burial and buy fake graves in this region several virtues, as the settlement center of the “David City” information claims, for example, that “the Jews who were buried in the cemetery of Jabal Al -Zaytoun will be the first to be sent from the dead on the Day of Resurrection, and their bodies will not decompose, and it will blow into the ram century from the Mount of Olives, declaring the Hour of the Hour.”
The Jewish visitors also used to collect dust from the cemetery to spread over the graves of their buried relatives abroad, believing that this brings the blessing and enhances the sanctity of graves.
- Wadi Hell and the village of Deir Yassin
The Israeli occupation intends to establish fake graves in the areas adjacent to the northern wall of the Al -Aqsa Mosque, specifically in Valley values Also known as “Valley of Hell”.
The occupation claims that this valley embraces the graves of a number of the prophets of the Children of Israel, within the so -called “Turoir of Pharaoh” and “Cemetery of the Prophets”.
The region derives its importance in the Israeli narration to its proximity to the Jewish neighborhood in the old town and the eastern wall of what they call the alleged “Temple Mount” in the place of the blessed Al -Aqsa Mosque, and the Jews believe that this valley will be the corridor that the “sincere Christ” crosses at the end of time.
In parallel, the occupation authorities established artificial cemeteries in various parts of Jerusalem, most notably the cemetery built on the lands of a village Deir Yassin West of the city.
The construction of this cemetery took about 4 years, at a cost of approximately $ 55 million. It includes 25,000 graves, distributed on 4 floors inside the walls, which can be accessed with electric elevators.
The Kdeshhah Foundation for burial services, which supervised the implementation of the project, is promoting that this vertical method of burial is inspired by the burial practices that were approved in the so -called “second temple”, according to the Jewish narration.
Protest activities
Jerusalemites from time to time are organizing protest activities, rejecting the policies of the Israeli occupation aimed at intensifying the cultivation of fake graves in Jerusalem.
These activities include the establishment of Friday prayers in the threatened lands of confiscation, in addition to organizing sit -ins in which he received words confirming that these practices aim to falsify history and impose false facts to seize the lands of the Palestinians and Judaize the city.
