Al-Aqsa is the third holiest site in Islam (after Mecca and Medina). According to the Quran, the Prophet Muhammad was miraculously transported from Mecca to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and ascended to heaven there.
Al-Aqsa is, in the Jewish faith, considered to be the site of the First and Second Temples of Jerusalem. According to the Talmud, it is where the Binding of Isaac occured, the location of the Holy of Holies, and where the world was created.
Why did they storm the mosque? What would make them do that during Sukkot?
Maybe that is the reason why Hamas is acting as they do.
I thought it was more the whole decades and decades of genocide and stealing their homeland more than this specifically
Are you suggesting that this justifies the killing and kidnapping of hundreds of civilians? Yes, fundamentalist Israeli settlers are a big part of the problem but this new level of terror won‘t help anybody
Wait, are you suggesting that a bunch of fundies, praying at a temple, is a reasonable excuse to target high populated civilian areas, to maximize innocent deaths? Oh and add kidnapping to the list too.
Oh noes, they “Stormed the site and prayed.”
Better kill them all.
. . . What?
