WHILE Muslims across the globe have observed the Al-Quds day on June 23, the Israeli institutions and organizations are reportedly awaiting the Netanyahu government’s go-ahead for the construction of a so-called ‘Third Temple’ in place of al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock in the Israeli-occupied Jerusalem al-Quds. ‘Wall politics’ have been a part of the ongoing antagonism between ‘occupier and occupied’. Ironically, the Zionist-backed propaganda move is being covertly and overtly supported by Israeli premier’s cabinet ministers who harbour Jewish fundamentalism.You learn something new every day. I'm still unclear on how the Netanyahu government is blocking Jews from praying on the Temple Mount but planning to build a Temple there. But perhaps I'm not as tuned in to the zeitgeist as this Pakistani expert.
Since the Israeli occupation of East Jerusalem in 1967, Israeli governments in power— the Likud or Labour have been intermittently trying to divert the global attention from the simmering issue of Arab-Israeli conflict via propaganda or political treachery. Today, the Likud government under Netanyahu is sponsoring a Zionist project via propaganda strategy— under the Temple Movement— to build a third Temple in the Al-Aqsa compound.
Meanwhile, Iranian media makes the normal Palestinian reporting of "fanatic settlers storming the Al Aqsa Mosque" seem tame:
Hordes of Zionist settlers, escorted by Israeli regime forces, stormed and desecrated al-Aqsa Mosque via the Maghareba Gate in the occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Before the sacrilegious incursion on Sunday, Israeli regime forces unlocked the Maghareba Gate and cordoned off the plazas of al-Aqsa Mosque.
The assault makes part of the morning break-in shift launched by fanatic Zionist settlers at 07:00 a.m. at holy al-Aqsa Mosque—the third holiest site in Islam.
Palestinian Islamic institutions have warned of Israeli regime's plots against al-Aqsa Mosque amid intensification of Zionist settlers' desecration of the holy Islamic site.
The Al Aqsa Mosque was never the third holiest site in Shi'a Islam. That is a very recent claim by Iran and it is entirely because of Israel.
The Iranian website helpfully provides a photo of the "hordes" of "fanatic Zionist settlers" "desecrating" and "storming" the suddenly "third holiest site."
