De Palestijnse Autoriteit heeft altijd de Joodse geschiedenis van en binding met Jeruzalem ontkend. De hoogste PA geestelijke, sheik Tamimi beweert bijvoorbeeld dat de Joodse tempel in Jeruzalem nooit heeft bestaan en dat de Joden pas in 1967 naar Jeruzalem kwamen.
Geregeld roepen Palestijnse leiders dat Israel de Al Aqsa Moskee wil vernietigen, en dit is in het verleden vaak gebruikt om de Palestijnen op te hitsen tegen Israel en de Joden in Palestina. De moefti Haj Amin Al Husseini gebruikte deze taktiek al in de jaren '20 van de vorige eeuw.

The Palestinian Authority has unleashed an "unprecedented barrage of lies" negating Judaism's connection to Jerusalem, as part of a ongoing campaign to undermine the Jewish connection to the capital, an Israeli media watchdog group said on Thursday.
"Jerusalem is presented as a Muslim city, with no regard for historical reality," the Palestinian Media Watch report said. "Mention is made of the importance of Jerusalem for Christians, but Judaism has no place in the city."
The report, which was made public as Israel celebrated the 42nd anniversary of the reunification of the capital, cites top Muslim religious leaders in the city, ministers from the Fatah-run PA government in the West Bank as well as official Palestinian television denying any Jewish connection to Jerusalem.
Recently, Palestinian leaders have been defining all of Israel, and particularly Jerusalem, as land which Muslims have a religious obligation to hold on to, and which must be liberated for Islam, the report found.
In addition, the PA is continuing to pursue an "alarmist" campaign of "denunciation and demonization" by presenting as fact the "incendiary libel" that Israel is trying to destroy the Aksa Mosque as part of a "Judaization" of the city, the report said.
The report includes an array of recent, inflammatory Arabic-language quotes by senior Palestinian officials and religious leaders, translated into English.
"This indoctrination, repeated regularly by the PA leadership, is creating a passionate religious-based hatred among Palestinians that will blow up eventually into even more Palestinian violence," said Itamar Marcus, director of Palestinian Media Watch.
