Mort Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America and notorious foot-in-mouther, sent out a doozy at a Canadian synagogue last Shabbat:

Israel Today quotes him as insisting that Jerusalem is “not holy to Muslims at all,” and that Islam is only trying to take away the Jewish heart and soul.

Our man Mort also had a few things to say about Gaza, mainly that “The ‘Palestinians’ have never been a real people because there was never an actual country called ‘Palestine.’”

Okay, Mort baby! You’re preaching to the choir! The facts support what you’re saying. From the article:

Indeed, Jerusalem does not appear even once in the Quran, and its identification today as the site of the “farthest mosque” from which Mohammed ascended to heaven is certainly erroneous, considering that at the time of Mohammed, Jerusalem was ruled by Christians and the Temple Mount was the city’s trash dump.

I’m just saying a little diplomacy — even a little political correctness — goes a long way in this world.
