Jerusalem on 08-21-1969 ?

Question

on that day an australian jew tried to burn down al aqsa mosque in jerusalem.. such a sad event

my question is: do you know if there is any organization or like at schools in palestine or any other country, that do something about that event. such as... maybe a speech or share a peace talk, anything like that??

i want to get an idea about anything that can be done to remind people about it and just bring it up to my international club in my school!

Answer 1

I can find no references to a regular observance of an arson attack on the third holiest site in Islam.

By the way, thje arsonist has been identified as Michael Dennis Rohan, an Australian evangelical Christian who aimed to hasten the coming of the Last Days. He was found to be mentally ill.

Answer 2

I mean no offense by this answer, but in the big picture of the Palestine / Israeli conflict -- this is a rather minor event at best.

There are a number of programs around the world that are geared to look at the history of the conflict and what can be done to improve communications and relations.  New York University host a week on the topic each year I believe.

The link below touches on a meeting helping develop stronger economic ties, thus relations.
