Sheikh Palazzi arrived in Israel for his first visit in July, 1996 as a guest of Professor Rakover, to address the Third International Seminar on the Sources of Contemporary Law on the subject of "Jerusalem: Three-Fold Religious Heritage for a Contemporary Single Administration". The Seminars were hosted by the Jewish Legal Heritage Society (then part of the Ministry of Justice) and chaired by Professor Rakover, Deputy Attorney General of Israel at that time.

Dr. Eder and Sheikh Palazzi are Jewish and Muslim Co-Founders and Co-Chairs of the Islam-Israel Fellowship (established 1997) http://www.rb.org.il/Islam-Israel/Islam-Israel%20Contents.htm of the Root and Branch Association, Ltd. (established 1981) http://www.rb.org.il/.
SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL AT THIS TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE
The Palazzis especially hope to express their solidarity with Jewish pioneering men, women and children living in the Jewish Pioneering Communities of the liberated Israelite tribal territories in Judea, Samaria and the Golan.
Sheikh Palazzi will affirm, as he has always done, that the Qur'an unequivocally states, from beginning to end, and according to the traditional Muslim commentators, that God gave the Land of Israel to the Children of Israel.
The Sheikh affirms Jewish sovereignty over united Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, the right of all people to pray on the Temple Mount, and the right of Jews to live anywhere in the Land of Israel.
FORTHCOMING PUBLICATION OF CRACKING THE QUR'AN CODE
The Palazzis also arrive in Israel to celebrate the forthcoming publication of Cracking the Qur'an Code: God's Land, Torah and People Covenants with Israel in the Qur'an and Islamic Tradition (copyright Lowell Gallin, 2009), written in honor and based on the teachings of Dr. Eder and Sheikh Palazzi (please see endorsements below).

Endorsements for Cracking the Qur'an Code from Ralph Peters and John Loftus
“My congratulations to all involved in this important breakthrough effort. The disturbed nature of the world today, exacerbated by those who would pervert and misuse the message of every religion, makes such endeavors critical to the moral as well as the physical well-being of decent men and women everywhere. We must give the Root and Branch Association a warm round of applause for reaching out in so innovative and helpful a manner. This is a small victory for all humankind – let us hope it will lead to great victories for peace, faith and civilization”.
Ralph Peters, Author, The War After Armageddon
“Every once in a while, a seminal text appears in Islamic-Judeo relations. Cracking the Qur’an Code is such a book. Based on the teachings of the prominent Sufi Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi, Perhaps the leading Sunni Muslim cleric in Italy, if not all Europe; and an Israeli educator, Dr. Asher Eder, it breaks new ground. More accurately, it reminds us all that we once stood upon the old common ground, where Christians, Jews and Muslims respected each other as Peoples of the Book. This is a book worth reading”.

Excerpt from Sheikh Palazzi Address to the International Conference on Countering Suicide Terrorism
Herzliya, Israel – February, 2000
www.amislam.com/bush.htm
"the powerful structure of the Wahhabi Muslim Brotherhood is mainly supported by those countries which are regarded as 'moderate' or 'friends of the West': Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Arab Emirates".
The main instrument for the "Wahhabisation" [1] of Arab society was an organization called Ikhwan al Muslimun (Wahhabi “Muslim Brotherhood”). The Brotherhood’s founder was Hasan al-Bannah, an elementary school teacher from Ismailiyyah who became one of the leaders of pro-British Masonry (United Lodge of England, ‘Mother of the World’) in Egypt.
The Palestinian Hamas is one of the most important Ikhwan (Wahhabi Muslim Brotherhood) controlled organizations in the Middle East. Hamas leaders are not among the original families of founders. On a worldwide level the Ikhwan (Wahhabi Muslim Brotherhood) leadership is, as before, in the hands of Syrian and Egyptian elements.
Countries such as Sudan, Iran and Afghanistan are easily identified as radical, totalitarian and enemies of the Western world, but their contribution to the international network of pseudo-Islamic "fundamentalism" (Wahhabism) is insignificant. On the contrary, the powerful structure of the Wahhabi Muslim Brotherhood is mainly supported by those countries which are regarded as "moderate" or "friends of the West": Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Arab Emirates.
Excerpt from Sheikh Palazzi Remarks in September12, 2005
FrontPage.com Interview
http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=7298
"To really win the 'War on Terror'...it is necessary to replace the Wahhabi Saudi terror-funding regime with a moderate, non-Wahhabi and pro-Western regime, such as a Hashemite Sunni Muslim constitutional monarchy....The Wahhabi Saudi regime can only survive by increasing its support for terror".
To really win the "War on Terror" it is necessary for the U.S. to invade Saudi Arabia, capture King Abdullah and the other 1,500 princes who constitute the "House of Sa’ud", to freeze their assets, to remove them from power, and to send them to Guantanamo for life imprisonment. Then it is necessary to replace the Wahhabi Saudi terror-funding regime with a moderate, non-Wahhabi and pro-Western regime, such as a Hashemite Sunni Muslim constitutional monarchy. Unless all this is done, the "War on Terror" will never be won. It is possible to destroy Wahhabi al-Qa’ida, to capture or execute Bin Laden, al-Zarqawi, al-Zawahiri, etc., but this will not end the "War". After some years, Saudi princes will again start funding many similar Wahhabi terror organizations. The Wahhabi Saudi regime can only survive by increasing its support for terror.
