The third holiest site in Islam. Access restricted.

Huh.

If any American Christian actually meant it when they talked about religious freedoms, they'd be furious about this.

No Poor Muslims Allowed

IIRC the Crusades were launched for similar reasons. Not saying either "holy war" is justified, only that fundies on either side act as fundies do.

Of course they fucking are. They've repeatedly forced their own entrance into Al Aqsa, and denied Muslim access to it, in the past. In fact, the last time I heard of Al Aqsa violations was during Sukkot last fall, when hundreds of Israeli settlers - [which I suppose we should really start calling "violent illegal immigrants"] repeatedly stormed the third-holiest site in Islam, during the week-long Jewish festival, and were protected by Israeli forces.

Fuck Israel, and fuck their genocide.

The article couldn't figure out what is actually al-Aqsa mosque.
The mosque in this picture is the Dome of the Rock mosque. Al-Asqa Mosque is on the other side of the plaza, behind the photographer's back!

Lol it's like how the average Westerner probably pictures St Basil's Cathedral when you ask them if they know what the Kremlin looks like.

Three Israeli hostages, shirtless and waving a white flag, cried out to IDF forces in Hebrew. They thought they were saved but they were shot dead by their own "defense force" on 15 December. Alon Shamriz, 26, Yotam Haim, 28, and Samer Talalka, 24

The IDF have destroyed 24 of 30 Gaza hospitals.

"They were 3 terrorists" (that's what Israel was about to put in the press before they found out they were Israelis

Israel has the right to defend itself against naked people! /s

Guessing the IDF will blow it up soon because it made them feel threatened.

They've practically completely dug out beneath it (for "archaeology") so it will inevitably collapse
