Scores of illegal Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem on Sunday and held prayers for US right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed earlier this month.

The Hebrew-language site Srugim reported that the ritual was led by far-right Rabbi and former Knesset member Yehuda Glick, a prominent advocate of expanding Jewish access to the site.

On Saturday, Israeli forces said they would send reinforcements to the occupied West Bank amid heightened alert ahead of the holidays.

According to Jerusalem’s Islamic Endowments Directorate, violations at Al-Aqsa Mosque have escalated sharply since far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir became Israel’s national security minister in late 2022.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is the world’s third-holiest site for Muslims. Jews call the area Temple Mount, claiming it was the site of two Jewish temples in ancient times.

Israel occupied East Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa Mosque is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. It annexed the entire city in 1980 in a move never recognised by the international community.

Palestinians see the settler incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque as part of efforts to Judaise occupied East Jerusalem and erase its Arab and Islamic identity. They insist occupied East Jerusalem is the capital of a future Palestinian state, in line with international resolutions rejecting Israel’s 1967 occupation and its 1980 annexation of the city.

Since October 2023, at least 1,042 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces and illegal settlers, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

Yes, a delegation of settlers “inflamed tensions” on Sukkot immediately before the Al Aqsa flood in October 2023

This post got removed from lemmy.world because they say trt world is not a reliable source. I can understand that, given turkeys bad press freedoms.

But they are pretty close to the middle east, so they should be somewhat respectable for the wider region than some US sources imo.

Can anyone here help me find a better more moderate source on this. This article itself refers to Hebrew-language site Srugim as the source, would that be moderate enough?

It's as legitimate as any US or UK source

[-] [email protected] 36 points 13 hours ago

Lemmy.world allows way less reliable news sources so I'd say just move on and stop relying on an unreliable instance. They don't even allow archival links for the purpose of getting around paywalls but permit pay-walled links being posted.

they allow Anadolu ajansı, why not trt world? Why is BBC allowed but not TRT?

Charlie Kirk was not a fan of isreal. Or Bibi.

Watching the israel propaganda wash his negative opinion away is wild.

How are people outside of the Owens - Fuentes sphere still saying this?

Charlie Kirk was not a fan of isreal

he's one of the biggest simps for israel there was. lately people like candace owens etc are trying to launder his image and claim he was " this - close to turning on israel, which is why they killed him". just trying to cash in on his death, which hey, that's capitalism, can't fault her. but he was definitely a huge fan of israel. he called palestinians "stupid muslims". literally.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 10 hours ago

he called palestinians "stupid muslims". literally.

For added context to readers, he said this while the genocide was happening and in support of it

Honestly I think the people trying to launder his image are people who agree with him on everything else but also wish he had been anti-Israel, so now they want to tell themselves that this was who he truly was

[-] [email protected] 26 points 12 hours ago

some politically motivated actors are claiming that he was being pressured by donors to reign in any questioning of israel's narrative, but saying he was not a fan of israel is just plain wrong and historically inaccurate. a few private conversations about potential misgivings does not change his decade plus as a zionist propagandist.
