The existence and importance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque is largely unknown to the West. Thus, the significance of the name chosen for the Oct 7, 2023 "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood", is also largely lost on a Western populace.

Yet, the background here is vitally important. >>>

Israel's Minister of National Security Ben Gvir and his depraved Kahanist followers are pushing toward an all-out bloodbath, holy war. Since Oct 7th, over 190,000 Israelis have filed for weapons licenses, with Gvir's goal of arming Israel civilians en masse. "Ben Gvir then called 'on everyone who is eligible' to 'go arm yourself' with a 'life-saving weapon.' The month before Benjamin Netanyahu’s government came to power, Ben Gvir was filmed on the streets of occupied Jerusalem waving a pistol and calling on settlers to shoot unarmed Palestinians."

Jan 5, 2023:

"Swiftly on the heels of the government’s swearing in, and in the face of warnings from the United States, the international community, and Israel’s own security establishment, Ben Gvir chose to message his long-stated position that “Israel is the owner of the Temple Mount” by paying a heavily secured visit to the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif.

Parsing technicalities surrounding provocations in a conflict cauldron is a dangerous game, particularly at a site as storied a flashpoint as the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. For Palestinians, Christian and Muslim alike, Al Aqsa mosque is considered their most powerful national symbol, making visits expressly intended to display Israeli sovereignty a potent provocation. It is in this vein that Netanyahu has repeatedly insisted on maintaining the status quo, as recently as 2020 noting that 'Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount, though it sounds like a reasonable thing, I know it would have ignited the Middle East … There’s a limit. There are things that I’m not willing to do to win an election.'...

Within hours of Ben Gvir’s visit and a UAE condemnation, Netanyahu’s planned upcoming official visit to the UAE was postponed. Subsequently, the UAE has joined with China in calling for an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting to discuss concerns over these latest Jerusalem developments. Meanwhile, Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Israel’s ambassador to the Hashemite Kingdom to explain the provocation, Egypt and Turkey have both registered objection, and Saudi Arabia, the normalization “prize” Netanyahu most seeks, joined the chorus of condemnation in characterizing Ben Gvir’s visit as a “storming” of the Al-Aqsa."

The extent to which this vocal condemnation from Arab partners can serve to rein in the more extreme impulses of the Israeli government remains to be seen. Normalization with the Arab world is deeply popular among Israelis, but Netanyahu’s most extreme coalition partners on whom he relies are driven more by their annexationist and Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif sovereignty goals than by the lure of regional normalization or fear of the international community’s condemnation."

'Unprecedented provocation': Israeli ultranationalist minister visits Al-Aqsa mosque'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjc9S8GRDOk

During an interview, Jewish supremacist National Security Minister of Israel Itamar Ben-Gvir reaffirmed his desire to keep killing Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, and said that the rights of Jews are far more important than those of Palestinians.

This is the text of Ai Wei Wei's deleted tweet, for which his exhibition has been cancelled in London's Lisson Gallery. He is entitled to his opinion. I believe it is better to differentiate between Judaism and Zionism, as not only they are not the same, but they are now ethically in opposition to each other. There should be no place for cancel culture in the art world. Sadly, there is.

Ai Wei Wei on his show being cancelled at London's Lisson Gallery for having expressed his opinion on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict:

"When discussing correctness or wrongness, I must be wrong. I have always regarded free expression as a value most worth fighting for and caring about, even if it brings me various misfortunes...

Incorrect opinions should be especially encouraged. If free expression is limited to the same kind of opinions, it becomes an imprisonment of expression. Freedom of speech is about different voices, voices different from ours.

In a separate statement, he said: "If culture is a form of soft power, this represents a method of soft violence aimed at stifling voices.

"It's not directed solely at me but at the broader culture of a society lacking a spiritual immune system. When a society cannot withstand diverse voices, it teeters on the brink of collapse."

🇬🇧 The UK government, opposition, and media who oppose a ceasefire, are LYING to the British Public.

Under International Law, Israel has the right to PROTECT itself, BUT not to WAGE WAR:

"Under Int'l Law,Israel has the right to PROTECT itself,not to WAGE WAR (i.e. self-defense under art 51 UNCharter) agst the people it has kept under belligerent occupation since'67. Gaza IS "occupied" given Israel's effective control,regardless of Hamas' existence.

"Incredible to see hundreds on Whitehall for a #HumanitynotHate vigil. Members of the public joined MPs and Muslim, Christian & Jewish faith leaders to light lanterns in memory of all those lost in the Israel- Palestine conflict, and as a symbol of hope against hatred."

In less than 2 minutes, the representative for the State of Palestine at the UN, eviscerates the entire myth of Western "civilization" under the US Military Industrial Complex. This should be mandatory viewing in schools and universities throughout the Western world, if we do want to learn about upholding human rights, before we even begin to preach them to others.

What Israel Did to the Parliament of Gaza

This was the Palestinian Legislative Council building in Gaza. It was the symbol of the 2006 democratic process which led the Change and Reform Party, a.k.a Hamas, to gain power by a very small majority with 44.45% of the vote and 74 of the 132 seats, whilst the ruling Fatah received 41.43% of the vote and won 45 seats. What Gaza really needed were new elections, not to demolish the building which represents democracy. What message about democracy does blowing up the building which symbolised democracy give?

Hamas attacks were a "false flag operation" claims Piers Corbyn who says the Israeli government "wanted it to happen" by "letting in" the fighters on October 7.

He dared to say it! 😱

JOHN CLAUSER, 2022 PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZE WINNER:
As much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is NOT in peril. Atmospheric CO2 and methane have negligible effect on the climate.
The policies government have been implementing are total unnecessary & should be eliminated.
We have totally misidentified what is the dominant process in controlling the climate, & all of the various models are based on incomplete and incorrect physics.
The dominant process, is “the cloud-sunlight-reflexivity thermostat mechanism.
Clouds are all bright white, & they reflected 90% of the sunlight back into space making them the most crucial yet most overlooked aspect of the climate system.
2/3rds of the Earth are ocean. The Pacific Ocean alone is half the Earth. The average cloud cover for the Earth is 67%; about 50% over land & 75% over oceans.
I claim that the above conspicuous properties of clouds are the missing part of the puzzle.
I can very confidently assert, there is no climate emergency.
