Zionist distortion of Palestine’s history and heritage

Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the notorious child-killer, recently unveiled in Syria’s occupied Golan Heights a plaque in Hebrew and English written "Trump's Heights".
This is a tribute of a local terrorist in the usurped land of Palestine to a global terrorist, who after his last year’s shifting of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to the occupied Islamic city of Bayt al-Moqaddas which he brazenly called “Israel’s capital, this year made another illegal gift to the Zionist regime by endorsing the Golan Heights as Israeli territory in violation of successive UN resolutions since the 1967 war that is an integral part of Syria and cannot be annexed by any side.
Soon new settlements for illegal Jewish settlers from around the world are to be built in these so-called "Trump Heights".
The Golan Heights were occupied by the Zionist regime during the 6-Day War in 1967, and in 1981 the Knesset or the so-called Israeli parliament declared it to be part of Occupied Palestine. The Golan Heights, parts of which are still under control of Syria, overlook the Sea of Galilee or Lake Tiberias, which is 65 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide. From military point of view, the Golan Heights are considered to be the strategic.
Since 2011, with the start of the crisis in Syria, the Zionist regime has stepped up construction of Jewish colonies in the Golan Heights to change the demography of the Muslim and predominantly Druze populated region where people still consider themselves as Syrian citizens, despite living under Israeli occupation for over fifty years.
In 2018, the Zionist regime has also increased its Judaizing campaign in the West Bank of River Jordan, which it has divided into several zones, to change the demography of this Palestinian land. The number of illegal Jewish townships in 2018 stood at 270, in addition to 435 military centers, while plans have been drawn to build as many as 9,384 new settlements in anticipation of Trump’s recognition of this part of the Palestine as Israeli territory.
The Zionists today occupy more than 85% or 27,000 square km of Palestine, while the dwindling Palestinian territory has been reduced to a mere 15%. The Zionist occupiers took possession of these parts of the West Bank on the basis of the dubious Oslo Accords that the region into four unconnected parts (A, B, C, D).
The so-called "C" classified area makes up about 60 of the West Bank and is still under the full control of the Zionist regime, which continues to deprive Palestinian farmers from engaging in agriculture. This has led to the loss of more products in these areas, and along with it, while the Zionist occupiers wantonly destroying the land by cutting the trees.
At the same time, the Zionist occupiers continue to demolish Palestinian homes. In 2018, the Zionists expelled some 1,400 Palestinians from the eastern parts of the occupied Islamic city of Bayt al-Moqaddas, as part of their Judaizing policies.
In a bid to change the demography and Islamic heritage of Bayt al-Moqaddas, the the Zionist regime destroys the Arab-Islamic façade of the historical city. It is changing the names of lanes and streets. Israel’s renaming committee has changed 43 Arab-Islamic names in the Palestinian sector and replaced them with Hebrew- Jewish names.  
Even the Christian Palestinians have not been spared from the Judaizing campaign, losing their heritage to the Zionist occupiers.  
At the same time, the ownership of Palestinian properties, both Muslim and Christian, have been forcibly changed by the Zionists, who are destroying the age-old culture, art, and architecture of eastern Bayt al-Moqaddas.
Despite this vandalism, the Zionists still do not feel safe and an uncertain future awaits them.
Attala Hannah, Bishop of the Orthodox Church of Qods, during a recent meeting with “Doctors without Frontiers”, said the Zionists have targeted every aspect of Palestinian history, culture, and religion, whether Islamic or Christian.
Hannah, who is the leader of struggle against the Judaizing policy of Palestine, stated that not only is the city of Qods but all parts of Occupied Palestine are being targeted by the Zionist regime. For instance, the Zionists have recently started tunneling underneath the historical al-Bahhar Mosque in Tiberias on the pretext of building a museum, but actually to destroy Palestinian holy sites.
