“Jews are from Judea and were there way before Islam was even invented,” declared Israeli activist Yishai Fleisher following the announcement of a new Jewish neighborhood in Hebron.

Members of the Jewish people have lived in Hebron for 3,800 years, Yishai Fleisher recently reminded the world on the heels of an announcement that a new Jewish neighborhood in the city will be built.

Currently, Jews are only permitted to inhabit a small portion of this ancestral community, with the Palestinian Authority controlling the vast majority of it and refusing to let Jews live there.

Fleisher expressed hope that the tide is turning and that people will remember that Jews lived in Hebron thousands of years before Islam was even invented.
