Press Release
Indeed it is a White List for the Protectors... A Black List for the Rulers and Traitors
(Translated)

Jerusalem news agencies, reported on Thursday morning that the occupation authorities distributed a blacklist with the names of 40 women from the people of Palestine, banning them from entering the Masjid Al-Aqsa, under the pretext of "provoking problems".

The police of the occupation has set their iron barrier at all the gates of Masjid Al-Aqsa, and deployed troops and its members, and imposed their restrictions on the entry of Muslim women, men and the students of Sharia, while allowing the settlers to storm through the Al Maghrabi Gate.

The Jewish entity continues to disregard the Muslims and their rulers, and it continues to violate the Holy Aqsa, as if it is their special property, not sharing with anyone and not allowing anyone to intervene!

And the sisters of men and the women of the Holy Land continue to dispute their rights in entering Al Aqsa, and in their confrontation with the herd of settlers who contaminate the Aqsa everyday making the so-called "Commander of the Israeli police in Jerusalem's Old City" Avi Biton declare that he has prepared a list of the names of the women who "provoke problems" inside the Aqsa and who caused major damage during the recent period and these will be prevented from entering. As for the rest of the women, they will be allowed to enter and every woman shall show her identity card to verify her name, and if it is not registered on the blacklist, she will be allowed to enter. It was claimed that police prevented women during the last two weeks from entering Al Aqsa "to repel any tension in the area, because they disrupt the order and pose a threat to the "visitors". In addition, they prevented the Sharia school students from entering Al Aqsa, and the full information is available!!

How would someone like Biton say this, and carry out these orders, if there were anyone to stand in his face and hold him accountable and even terminate his existence and the basis of the Jewish state of which he speaks in its name?! How do they prevent the female slaves of Allah from entering the mosques of Allah while no one stands in their faces, except for a few condemnations here and there?! If only it were protected by the rulers or the regimes, however it is only defended by the Al Aqsa caretakers and its protectors.

The Jews try to impose an undeniable circumstance in Masjid Al Aqsa. They seek to impose their security control on its gates and its courtyard, and to partition the mosque after they started to allocate time restrictions for visitors. This is along with the occupation authorities banning all women from entering Al Aqsa, from the early morning hours until eleven o'clock am, which started during the incursions of the settlers to Al Aqsa two weeks ago, under flimsy excuses that also include that they incite problems for the 'visitors'!!

Is it not the settlers who encourage the problems with their provocative arrival to the honourable Aqsa?! Are they not the intruders, and these women are the real owners of the place?! The Masjid Al Aqsa is only for the Muslims, and it is not allowed for anyone to visit it without their consent and permission, and the settlers are not welcomed visitors; instead they are impure aggressors.

It is obliged to stand up to them and this is what the guards of the Masjid do, and they protect it, as do those women stationed at the mosque who insist that each and every one of them to remain steadfast protecting the gates of the Masjid after being prevented from entering.

All this and more occurs with the full knowledge of the shameful Palestinian Authority and the Jordanian regime which claims to be responsible for the protection of Al Aqsa and that any attack on Al Aqsa is the diminution of the prestige of the Jordanian state. So where are they?! Are they pre-occupied with repressing those who express the Truth, and engrossed with more normalization and shameful humiliating agreements with the Jewish entity?! Or are they reiterating what the Jewish entity claims - that these liberators "provoke problems", therefore they get what they deserve?!!

(أَلَا سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ) "Unquestionably, evil is what they decide." [an-Nahl: 59]

O People of the Blessed Land of Palestine:

For how long will you be submissive and accepting of Dayton's Authority, the 'Authority of Shame'?! Its rotten stench has wafted into the air and has surpassed all expectations, anticipations and limitations of corruption and amorality, treachery and betrayal, sell-outs and lowliness!

And O Muslims everywhere:

We called you since the first storming into Al Aqsa... We cried out when the first drop of blood was shed from those who defended it... We appealed to you since the first desecration by the filthy settlers; we called out for help since the first attack against its protectors and the women stationed in the mosque... You deafened your ears and shut your eyes so they persisted and will continue even further as long as your condition remains one of disgrace, humiliation and complacency.

(إِلاَّ تَنفِرُواْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلاَ تَضُرُّوهُ شَيْئًا وَاللّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ)

"If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. And Allah is over all things competent." [Al Taubah: 39]
