Ibn Khaldun Center for Human and Social Sciences at Qatar University organized a scientific lecture on Thursday, entitled: “Zionist claims to the historical and religious right in Jerusalem: Presentation and criticism”, on zoom platform.

Prof. Muhammad Khalifa Hassan, Professor of Religions and Dialogue of Civilizations at Qatar University, delivered this lecture as part of The Accordance, one of the five structures in which the Ibn Khaldoun Center operates at Qatar University, against the background of the current Israeli attacks on Jerusalem and Palestinians, especially the citizens of Gaza.

The lecture started with Dr. Jassim Al-Jazaa, as the moderator, an Islamic history lecturer, he delivered a message in which he stressed that our current battle is a battle of consciousness, since the current generation lacks knowledge, thinking, and facts about their adversary and the Zionist movement, Indicating that the beginning of the solution to any problem is awareness of it as it is known in Management science.

Then Prof. Dr. Muhammad Khalifa started greeting the honorable attendees, he thanked the Ibn Khaldoun Center and the Director of the Center, Dr. Nayef Bin Nahar, for his invitation to deliver this lecture, which comes at this difficult time in which the Palestinian brothers are suffering from the brutal Zionist aggression.

The doctor emphasized that Zionism’s arguments that Jews have a historical and religious right to Palestine, which dates back long before Zionism, are unfounded and contradict Palestine’s and Jerusalem’s histories. As a result, Jewish orientalism, followed by Zionist orientalism, and now Israeli orientalism, acted on a fabrication. Or the founding of Israel, as well as the construction of a Jewish holy house that they say houses the Temple of Solomon, peace be upon him, and he said that Jerusalem had been subjected to the greatest fraud in human history.
He stressed that Israel was a product of Orientalism, and that he was the one who created it, and that historians in the West and the Islamic world use the term fabrication or construction, which refers to the creation of a state from nothing, and that it was accomplished by falsifying or silencing Palestinian history.

Dr. Muhammad Khalifa demonstrated the falsity of Zionism’s arguments with historical evidence, demonstrating that the Jews have never had a state in their existence, starting from the date of their migration to Egypt and passing through the exit from Egypt and the diaspora for forty years, then the stage of the Kingdom of David and Solomon, which lasted only 30 years it did not rise to the level of the state but was merely a political entity. And then the various stages of captivity, in addition to falling under the authority of different types of empires, such as the ancient Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Christian, Arab, and Islamic Arab states. Adding that the Jewish history was a history of those empires that ruled the ancient East, a history that is devoid of any ownership of them.
When reviewing the religious history – according to Dr. Muhammad Khalifa, “It becomes clear that the Jewish religion is from the manufacturer of the Assyrian and Babylonian captivity, and was not made in Palestine, this also includes the Jewish religious books such as the Torah, the books of the prophets, the Old Testament and the Babylonian Talmud also written in Iraq, with the exception of the Palestinian Talmud, which is considered weak. And it is not used except for some unhappy groups.
