Official PA TV narrator: “Al-Quds (i.e., Jerusalem), which was called Urushalim, is a Canaanite name and the first name given to Al-Quds. ‘Ur’ in Sumerian means city, Urushalim or Ursalem or Urshalem is ‘the city of the god of peace’ among the Canaanites, which was distorted and turned into Jerusalem in Hebrew. This is part of the theft of Canaanite names and their attribution to Hebrew as part of the Judaization program first and making them Israeli later."
