Ibrahimi Mosque "Is Turned Into a Synagogue and an Archeological Site - And
the Jews Come to Defile It"
'Alloush: "Uncle Hassan! Uncle Hassan!"
Uncle Hassan: "My God, why are you so happy, 'Alloush?"
'Alloush: "I am like the grown-ups, watching the news."
Uncle Hassan: "Good, I hope it will be a good day to watch the news."
'Alloush: "I've heard a very good report. Very good."
Uncle Hassan: "That good?! This report will make us happy?"
'Alloush: "Yes! Do you know the Ibrahimi Mosque [in Hebron]?"
Uncle Hassan: "Who doesn't know it? We all do."
'Alloush: "Well, they have turned it into a museum."
Uncle Hassan: "What?!"
'Alloush: "So the people - all the Jews and the Christians - can visit it."
Uncle Hassan: "Are you sure that's what you heard? Are you sure?"
'Alloush: "Yes."
Uncle Hassan: "And you are still happy?!"
'Alloush: "Yes, this way they will protect it and stop destroying it. People
will be able to see it, but not to touch it."
Uncle Hassan: "Are you out of your mind, 'Alloush?"
'Alloush: "Why? What's wrong?"
Uncle Hassan: "Do you know that this mosque, at the Cave of the
Patriarchs..."
'Alloush: "What about it?"
Uncle Hassan: "It dates back to the days of Ibrahim. This is our legacy, and
part of the Islamic waqf. How can you possibly be happy when a mosque -
where we would worship Allah and pray to Him night and day - is turned into
a synagogue and an archeological site, and the Jews come to defile it?"
The Jews "Want to Steal [the Mosque] and Make It Like Their False Temple"
'Alloush: "I didn't know this. What, they're making fun of us in the news?!"
Uncle Hassan: "No, they are telling the truth in the news, but as you can
see, the whole world is in turmoil over this. This is sad news, a real
catastrophe for the Arab and Islamic world, 'Alloush."
'Alloush: "Those Jews want to steal the Ibrahimi Mosque?"
Uncle Hassan: "Yes, they want to steal it, and then make it like their false
temple. They want to add it to their legacy for their future generations,
'Alloush."
'Alloush: "Okay, so what should we do about this sad thing?"
"Dear Children... Each One Of You Must Tell His Father, His Grandfather, and
the Rest of His Family That They Should All Arise as One... Against the
Zionist Criminals the Enemies of Allah, and Liberate Jerusalem and All the
Holy Places"
Uncle Hassan: "Unfortunately, 'Alloush and dear children, the Arab and
Islamic nation is in a slumber. A deep slumber. We must stand up. We must
awaken. 'Alloush and dear children - each one of you must tell his father,
his grandfather, and the rest of his family that they should all arise as
one. They must rise up against the criminal Zionists, who are planning to
destroy Jerusalem, and to turn the Islamic waqf into something bad. We must
rise against the Zionist criminals, the enemies of Allah, and liberate
Jerusalem and all the holy places. We should liberate them. Do you hear,
'Alloush?"
'Alloush: "Ah, now I get it. I thought the Jews wanted to enable people to
visit the Ibrahimi Mosque, but it turns out that they want to steal it."
Uncle Hassan: "That's right, 'Alloush. It's a good thing that you got it.
Did you tell this to anyone else, or just me?"
'Alloush: "Just you."
Uncle: "If You Said This in the Street... People Would Accuse You Of Being
a... Zionist Collaborator"
Uncle Hassan: "Very good. You didn't make us look bad. Do you know what
people would accuse you of, if you said this in the street?"
'Alloush: "Of what, Uncle Hassan?"
Uncle Hassan: "They would accuse you of being a collaborator. They would
think that you are a Zionist collaborator. I would like to tell you two
things, in conclusion: We must think before we speak. Get it? We should be
familiar with all our Arab and Islamic holy places, okay?"
'Alloush: "Okay."
