'Palestinians': 'If I forget thee O Jerusalem' was a crusader expression usurped by the Zionists
Just when you thought that the 'Palestinians' could not make up any bigger lies.... As part of the continuing Palestinian denial of Jewish history in Jerusalem, a Palestinian researcher and specialist on Jerusalem has claimed that the well-known verse of the Hebrew psalm, "If I forget thee, oh Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill," is not a Jewish source at all. He said that the words were uttered by a Christian Crusader, and have only recently been "borrowed" by Jews and "falsified in the name of Zionism."Let's go to the videotape.
The verse is in fact from Psalm 137 of the Hebrew Bible, which opens with the words: "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion." The psalm mourns the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonian army in 586 BCE, is part of Jewish tradition and liturgy and has appeared in Jewish sources for thousands of years.
Read the whole thing.
I'm almost surprised they're not claiming it was said by Mohamed. That would be completely in character for these Muslim misappropriaters of other people's history.

They have no real history so they have to invent one and that means denying Jewish history.
Give them a state and they will begin telling the truth.
Yeah, sure.

This interview was with Hayel Sanduqa, the researcher of colonial affairs in Jerusalem.
Is he a Muslim,Christian, or what?
Chayma, Sanduqa is a "what".
