It is great to hear this explained in a short documentary. Sandra Gathmann's voice is calm, clear, concerned but peaceful. A welcome change from other voices that attempt to convey the same story, but with emotional tones that are agitated or distorted by the deep and persistent traumas experienced by so many in the region.
The Israeli and Hamas conflict underscores the tragic consequences that can arise when religious differences lead to violence and division. In the pursuit of lasting peace, it's essential to transcend religious divides and prioritize the well-being of all people, regardless of their beliefs. Embracing secular values, such as human rights, equality, and diplomacy, can pave the way for a more peaceful and inclusive future where conflicts are resolved through dialogue and cooperation rather than religious affiliations. Art, as a powerful medium, can guide our morality by fostering empathy, promoting tolerance, and inspiring us to envision a world where humanity's shared values and aspirations unite us rather than divide us. Literature, in particular, has the unique ability to create open-minded perspectives by exposing us to diverse viewpoints, cultures, and ideas, which can ultimately lead to greater understanding and empathy among individuals and communities. Curiosity, not a belief in a deity, is the key to a fulfilling and meaningful life, driving us to explore, learn, and connect with the world around us in our shared human journey towards peace and enlightenment.
@@katitribe1169Yes unfortunately because despite all progress and efforts many did investing in our inter-connecting universal values, many humans still and always prioritize religious bigotry, selfishness and superiority, the chosen people bullshit and the final prophecy bullcrap-superiority, peer pressure, territorial tribalism, pick a side no matter what like you pick a sports's team, black or white (no realistic grey argumentation)...which leads to confusion, rumors spreading, lies, misunderstanding, fear, distrust, division, hatred, segregation, supremacies of different kinds, predisposing the brains to be vulnerable to brainwashing through dishonest teachings and massive propaganda to serve different personal agendas and manipulations and there is a recipe for continuously feeding and maintaining the cycle of grudge, violence, revenge, bloodshet and never know each other's story and history and/or ever understand co-existing as DNA cousins or neighbors especially when you have the top far right extremists/fascists criminals and terrorist fanatics on both sides of leadership that require to be eradicated and replaced by trully moral intelligent people where mature actions can be taken through political compromise that will lead to gradual emotional recovery for the situation to be intellectually functional- Period
Conspicuously missing from AJ's summary is the history of access to the Western Wall by Jewish worshippers when the Old City wasn't "occupied" (i.e. when it was under Jordanian control). Nothing to remark there? 🤔
Here's an idea: Everyone is allowed to visit and pray there, as long as it is respectful towards other visitors/worshippers. Similar to how you're supposed to act in a library.
good idea but you dont understand humans. Humans of one group want to be thought of as special and closer to god than everyone else. they dont understand religion is hogwash and god loves everyone equally
Learning of the current Gaza war has led me in need of much education. Finding your video at this time makes it even more vital to hear a complex issue presented clearly: you make sense of Jerusalem's centrality to three major religions. But how is it possible that such steps, leading to the most egregious attacks on prayer in what should be a safe and respected religious site at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, should pass us by? And how is one surprised that one day an eruption occurs, when freedom to pray and work and be is near buried?
I don't understand what you're saying. You seem to be on the side of the Waqf, but you say an "egregious attack on prayer". Perhaps it has passed by your notice, but the Waqf is literally preventing servants of God from praying to him. And what in God's eyes could be worse?
Arabs are restricted from praying on Al Aqsa when there are threats of violence to the Jews and others. It has happened more than once that rocks, boulders and bricks are hurled down at the Jewish worshipers praying at the Kotel/Western Wall. In contrast to this, Jews are always restricted from praying on what we call the Temple Mount. If a Jew attempts to pray on the Temple Mount, he is removed from the site immediately, and sometimes arrested if he's tried such a heinous crime before. And it is a lie to say that all rabbinic authorities forbid Jews from visiting the Temple Mount. Many rabbis allow it. It is also a lie to say that Al Aksa is only used for holy activities. Arabs go up to have picnics, play soccer, enjoy themselves with harmless fun. But Jews praying there are committing some kind of religious crime. Forbidding Jews from praying and visiting freely on their most holy site in their religion is 100% racism. There is no doubt that if the Temple Mount were entirely in the hands of the Arabs, Jews would not be allowed there at all. But as long as Israel has the final control, Arabs, Christians and Jews all have access. And one more thing: All the trouble did not begin in 1967. When Israel lost half of Jerusalem in 1948, it was felt like our heart was ripped from our bodies. So do not belittle the Jewish connection to all of Jerusalem. Our connection goes back 3,000 years.
@@donnazeff6597 Didnt John the baptist prophesized that messiah will come to judge 3000 years ago? Why the guy saying this narrative of coming of Messiah started in 1967? It does not sound right. All of this has been prophesized 3000 years ago
All those moslems can enjoy their al aksa mosque and keep condemning Israel...but see what happening with your kabah in mekah...soon it will vanish after disasters n disasters ..
Only times in History were people of all religion could pray in the temple mount in modern history is only from 1967 when Israel freed Jerusalem from the Jordanian occupation.
This was so helpful to people like me who are watching from far away. Trying to understand how they got to this place. It is very complicated, and has happened over years and years. I like that you stay neutral so we can understand both sides. I really like Sandra's voice and her manner of presentation.
Absolutely. . . . after a few days searching, this really IS the most educational that clearifies it completely !!! i just came here to say EXACT THE SAME THING.
and it doesnt really matter how they got to this place. . . yes it does matter, maybe somehow by finding the TRUTH we can find the SOLUTION because this NEEDS. TO. STOP.
You just conveniently forgot the truth parts here. Hebron was a Jewish city untill the sultan came and expelled the news- for fact just see the meaningn of the word Hebron, isralei jewish city name Next Israel was recreated(the third time) inside Palestine ( again, a jewish name look up) The un and the rest of the world decided to give israel 30% of the land And 70% to jordan and Egypt Israel were born and was happy But all the arab countriea were against so they started the annihilation war on israel in 1948, fortunately israel prevail and won , else we all have been slaughtered. Than israel lived happy with what they had the 30/40% land untill 1967 Than again allll the arab countries with thier million troops Syria Egypt Jordan Started annihilation war on israel And yet again israel won, big time And added another 50% to her size Gaza And the Judea and samaria Reminding you there is no such thing as Palestine authority at that time Judea and smamaria(again, jewish name, jewsih history) belong to jordan, and all of their citizens had Jordanian passports And gaza belonged to egypt and all the gaza citizens had Egyptian passprt And in the golan height, it belonged to Syria, and again, all the citizens there have Syrian passports And than the surprise war in 1973 again multiple arab countries attacked israel tried to annihilat us, with the help.of ussr weapons and support. But yet again, israel prevailed and, in the process, kept all the sinai area from egypt (that later we gave back to make peace with them) And then after all thw arab countries saw they can't annihilat israel by force They created a new plan The Palestinian authority They created a fake history Fake leaders ( please name 1 Palestinian leader before 1967? Please name their flag, their currency, and mention in any history books of a Palestinian authority.... dont try as you will not find any, you will find many many many jewish mentions as again palestine name was given to jewsih israel by the Romans when they conquered israel, and this is located at the greek and all of the European history books by the way.) And that at the 1990 we made peace with jordan and gave them control of Israeli western wall , our har habait , and they called it Al Aqza and we made peace with jordan. Ans in 1994, we signed the oslo agreement, and by that, we formally established the Palestinian authority in judea and samaria and gaza But in 2005, we decided we dont want to control gaza anymore, so we just got out from there ( search it up) And gaza had thier democratic elections in 2007 2009 2005 And you who they choose ? Hamas terror organization That made his goal to eradicate any jewish people and kill and conquered israel completely, and they too hate america European and any Western society So there is no single.israeli citizen or soldier inside of the gaza strip until now So guys, open your mined before you listen to any one sided propaganda The moment the arab mother's will love their kids more than love to kill jewish kids Then there will be real peace, untill than israel.will have to defend itself from this animals in the same level as isis
@@Pini504QIsreal didn't existed until England parted ways with it. Ben Guiron named it "ISREAL" May 12,1948. The Jews left the now named Isreal centuries ago.

Thank you Aljazeera and their newscasters. I knew a bit about the intersection of religions in that area of Jerusalem, explained but a friend of mine, but this video made it so much clear. I hope harmony among the three religions is truly restored since we must respect each other's religions, beliefs and traditions. Please, peace and respect to everyone. Good job on this video documentary!
No one from any religion accepts the other religion.. that's the whole point. There will never be peace until Christ returns and destroys the other false religions of the world. FALSE RELIGIONS HEADED BY DEMONS: ALL RELIGIONS OUTSIDE OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST! I said it and I care not if you agree. Jesus Christ is Lord almight above all things in heaven and on earth...
@@user-rt1if7fu3c But loads of mainstream news channels are really biased in favour of Israel. And surely Israel has overwhelming military might, they have a highly rained military equipped with state of the art weapons of mass destruction, supplied by the US. And Israel even has nuclear weapons. So it's really not a fair fight, the Palistinians really don't have anything to defend themselves with no trained military or weaponry. If Hamas attacks Israel and causes a bit of damage, and maybe 100 deaths, Israel always over reacts and destroys large areas occupied by Palistinians and kills thousands of Palistinians. Plus Israel has occupied Palistinian territory with military and taken their rights away, the Palistinians are effectively prisoners. Israel has bulldozed Palistinians homes and taken their land away by force
It is really difficult to broker peace between Israel and Palestine. What is more baffling is the fact that religion tells us these people are the same parents. I have been to Israel, Palestine and Egypt and felt very sad at the level of insecurity within those regions. No free life.
Sometime I think as humans we don’t even know what we are fighting for ….it’s so sad to see a space of great overlap and connection for all be the very reason why we tear each other done
When one side sees non-believers as less than human or even someone who should be killed, and the other sees all enemies as bogeymen from the era of WW2 it’s easy to see what they are fighting for. It may not be right, it may be nonsense but it absolutely is understandable.
It's Israel that continually violates international law. Destruction of houses and property, illegal settlements and occupation. They are the instigators here.
Thank you for this report. It's helped me a lot to begin to make sense of War between Palestine and Israel. I am praying for all the innocent people being affected on both sides of the border.
The Arabs in Gaza and in the rest of the Palestinian cities are the people of truth and the owners of the land, from a thousand thousand, and it is their homeland. They came in the sun of the first creation, and before them, no one set foot in Palestine
Learning about this conflic from AJ ? AJ is funded by Qatar, the patrons of major Isalmic T organizations. They have a horse in this race and are very biased.
When there are two religions that focus on outer show during worship, instead of the inner relationship with God and conduct of oneself, such conflicts will always happen. I am glad that Jesus Christ came to teach us that what matters is in our hearts, it is about love for each other, and not just following the Old Testament law, and outer show during worship like the Pharisees did. As a Christian, I can stand and pray in that Temple and communicate with God, without anyone around me knowing that I did it. I hope that these two religions can seek peace, not revenge.
I must explicitly state that this is not a comment made in a disrespectful manner or with negative meaning, to anyone of any faith. Your faith is your personal and spiritual existence. I understand that and value it for the artistic and humanitarian values it has brought, whichever faith you may follow. I am simply intrigued, being of a more socio-economic orientation, that such persistent hostility and inter-generational trauma can be generated by ancient concepts with little relevance to life today.
I understand the angle you want to view this conflict. At the end of the day this has always been about real estate and who controls it with religion as the primary motivator. Virtually all conflicts throughout history involve controlling land/resources and its occupants from the World Wars to Russia Ukraine.
Viewers say it's balanced presentation, but I see a story and a theory of one faith and slightly more about another. however it's a good explanation on the current status and future. feel sorry for the people living in this region. "Becoming a slave of your own invention is the worst punishment for the humankind".
What is the invention? Certainly not God. You will meet Him anyways, then you will realize He is /was so real? Everything you see will be destroyed....except the true you....soul and spirit that will meet the Lord.
Very well done!!! It explains a lot, even though I try to read and stay informed about the area and all the history, it was very good to have it all laid out in a nice timeline

Just enact laws that allow anyone of the three religions to go there and pray 🙏 whenever they want, then problem solved. There's plenty of space in there.
Except the Jews want it all back, the Temple Mount (Orthodox and Ultra Orthodox Jews are itching to build the 3rd Temple), East Jerusalem, West Bank, Gaza, everything and kick all the Arabs out...
Theoretically you are 100% right. Put in practice that would probably result in a blood bath. Religious faith and mutual tolerance just don't go together very well.
Everyday is a learning day . Started following al jazzera few yesrs back as was sick of listening to half truths in wars . Another great info comtent. From 🇮🇪
This religious fervour (whichever religion) is really terrifying 😳. Religion walks in, reason, understanding, acceptance, and humanity walks out... 2023 and we're still fighting religious war...really sad and a stain on humanity.
It's not just a religious issue. The same thing applies to natural resources like oil 🛢, jewels, metals, and land. Humans can't avoid conflict and war. It's something that will always take place.
Sometimes, I always question myself "does isreal has no Remorse nor compassion after what happend to their kind in 1939?? And they do the same thing for almost 80 years now?" This is always a question that has not really an answer. Every single ramadan in Palestine it feels like Palestinians are afraid of their own holy month because they know whats going to happen. And its heartbreaking. It feels like a clockwork for the isreal militairy. I just hope Palestine keeps fighting of what has taken away from them. Not just their land but family and friends and citizens. Let this be a Historical evidence to hear their voices.
I wonder about that too, they have no problems doing it to others. Which makes me believe that everyone is "human" and capable of doing crazy things to anyone. Being a victim nowadays just adds a shield of protection.
They conveniently forgot to mention that the 6 days war was started by the Arab nations surrounding Israel and was a surprise attack. The Arabs were defeated and Israel pushed it’s bordered out to grant them more distance between where potential artillery could be placed and Jerusalem. This is critical in understanding why Israel took possession of the West Bank and Gaza.
I'd like to know where you got your information from considering the history books state otherwise, no it wasn't started by the arab nations, it was started by israel, and that's what your going to read in any history book or internet source for that matter
Strange that Al Jazeera skips the portion where Muslim worshippers threw stones at Jewish visitors visiting the south wall region. This on multiple occasions led to multiple clashes inside the mosque complex, due to which security was enhanced.
Even stranger is all these geniuses believing they're getting factual, unbiased reporting and information on The Israeli palestinian conflict from al-jazeera, it's truly laughable. The story of mahmouda ascending to heaven from this site is factually impossible seeing as it was built sixty years after his supposed ascension.
More even handed than I expected. I had to roll my eye's a bit on the "far right religious movements" in Israel, like every Islamic Country on earth isn't ran by religous zealots lmao.
The pathetic irony that the world’s three major RELIGIONS converge in one holy place and can’t seem to share it with respect, love, and joy towards each other. So much for peace. Humans…

I said it before and I'll say it again : It's time to change the strategy and the Leadership! The guy that has occupied the presidential seat for over a decade now has not achieved a single thing for the last decade. Abbas is the biggest problem for the Palestinians
Who and what would you see replace him? Hamas? Islamic Jihad? I think the biggest problem for the Palestinians has been their repeated use of violence in a situation where violence especially from them given the relative military strengths cannot prevail and their constant refusal to accept a reasonable peaceful political solution - i.e. to make necessary compromises in order to get _something_ even if they'll never get everything they want. They should have accepted the Oslo Accords and taken them seriously or taken the later peace deals offered by Olmert & Clinton. They kind of reverse haggling themselves into getting offfered less and less each time after turning down previous generous peace offers. Their leadership keeps making poor decisions and their people have been too indoctrinated with hate-filled propaganda to accept that they have to learn to share with a Jewish state & Israelis who they are going to need to live in some sort of peace with eventually.
@@platylobiumobtuseangulum1607 the oslo accords were violated by Israel since their inception with the separation barriers, demolition of Palestinian houses in areas A and B, occupation and settlement in areas B. Then there was the the "deal of the century" by Trump and Netanyahu which was a Swiss cheese map due to all the illegal Israeli settlements, no Palestinian control of any travel, interconnected highways controlled by you guessed it Israelis with trigger happy fingers. As the commentator mentioned in this video, Israel is strategically expanding brick by brick which we see today. Now from a business standpoint why would Israel offer any legitimate peace agreement when their way of taking over is clearly working for them. Any peace negotiation would mean that both parties have to compromise something but we just don't see this with Israel. In fact they are always gaining more and Al Aqsa has always been on the agenda. Respectfully, I am a muslim and would love to see peace between my Jewish cousins. I do not and will not ever hate someone for being Jewish but I can never agree with Israeli nationalists and evil far right Jews who continue destroy my brothers and sisters out of strategic illegal land occupation
I tried to visit the al Aqsa mosque in 2019 - it is true that at the main entrance, there are Israeli soldiers but in my experience, even when the Israeli soldier granted me entrance, because the Palestinian guarding the compound didn't think me Muslim enough, I wasn't given entrance. The Israeli soldier openly told me "You've convinced me, but you have to convince him"...maybe things have changed since then.
5:02 did she just say "Israel occupies East Jerusalem"?? You have got some balls and I respect that! Telling it like it actually is and not conforming to the non-true mainstream idea.
From todays point of view it is unbelievable to see, how much respect the jews payed to the muslems to let them walk jerusalem so free, even after all the wars that was raged against them. They always just got terror for there existence back. I hope they are able to clear all this mess now.

My name is Vedran, I come from Croatia and now I will GIVE YOU THE ULTIMATE, FINAL PROOF THAT JESUS CHRIST IS KING/SON/GOD. NO ONE HAS REALIZED THIS UNTIL NOW. (THANKS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR THE REVELATION) Jesus Christ died for our sins. The Jews were saved by God's commandments, but from material death, god then punished people who worshiped false "gods" with death, but with MATERIAL death, not with final judgment. the final judgment/judgment comes when the second Coming of Jesus comes. So let me repeat: The Jews were saved by God's commandments, but from material death, not from the final judgment because everyone has sinned and no one can come to the Father in his kingdom. Example; ISAIAH 6:1-7 "In the year in which King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and his lap filled the Temple. Above him stood the seraphim, each with six wings: with two they covered their face, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And they shouted to each other and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory!" And the doorposts shook at the voice of him who shouted and the House was filled with smoke. ((This is a very important part)). Then I said: "Woe is me, because I have failed! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a nation of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!" On Tuesday, one of the seraphim flew to me; in his hand was an ember that he had taken from the altar with tongs. And with them he touched my mouth and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips: and your iniquity is removed, and your sin is cleansed." ........ ........ Someone has to redeem us, it can't be burnt offerings because it's not a big enough sacrifice, it can't be wood, it can't be animals they cannot be other people either because we have all sinned, we are all in Adam. You have to be a man who has been perfect all his life, without a single sin. So we need a righteous person, and as we know, no one is perfect except God himself. one should be a man who is perfect, but only God is perfect, so God was born in the body of an innocent woman (if you say it's not, you're blaspheming GOD because nothing is impossible for God) He was born through the chosen people so that all who believe may be saved and not condemned John 3:16 Because God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Yes it is. Israel is the oppressed. Attacked from all sides/all neighbors, in the charters of multiple “states” that it’s the annihilation of Israel or nothing at all.

Outstanding video. I look to be more informed about this situation and this really helped. As an atheist, I am saddened by the story that is ongoing in that region. I hope that scientific minds can have an impact on the people there, with years of indoctrination to overcome. I am not optimistic.
Atheists themselves are indoctrinated by the poison of ideology ....and cannot separate that from rationality and logic, so you have no place to lecture anyone. Deal with your own biases first.
There's nothing to be optimistic about, as it seems... Most of the actors involved are fanatics, in my opinion. Fanatics don't listen to scientific/rational arguments. Very sad indeed.

Why does everybody gotta die? Stop death...then we will talk .who decides these matters? Or die and come back to life again and tell us that there is nothing after death. Prove it . Or shut it. Go ahead prove it.
Holy sites should be open to all religions for prayer. The fact that you try and defend discrimination based on religion shows just how undemocratic Qatar is.
Actually a nice explanation. Some facts are missing, but still good. I admit. The Israeli magav forces are not storming wirhout a reason or just for fun…. Al-Aqsa is actually not mentioned in the Quran - the far Mosque would actually have been in Istanbul and not Jerusalem. Israel became more religious in the past 30 years. Thats why temple mount gets more attention from the israeli people. In 1967 israel was much less religious - thats why the agreement with Jordan was made.
I understood that before the conflict the Al Aqsa Mosque was in Saud Arabia. It was only changed to Jerusalem to support the Arab Palestinian narrative that Jerusalem was always an Arab city. The Quaran never mentions Jerusalem even once while the Jewish Bible older than both Christian and Islamic text mention it 600 times. The Arch in Rome is the bragging rights of the Roman takeover of Jerusalem and the sacking of the Temple.
When the Quran was revealed to Mohamed Istanbul was not a muslim country/city. As to Al-Aqsa, it is indeed mentioned in the Quran Surah Israa Aya 1: Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa (الأقصى in the original version of which Al-aqsa is a transliteration), whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
As an Indonesian muslim we all told by our oarents that this is ocupation from the start, so from the start 1948 till now and forever will alaways be supporting palestinian by our generation. We also build INDONESIAN HOSPITAL where no our goverment involve. Pure funding from muslim society. And were ready to defend al aqsa Insya Allah.

@@temp1851 Understand the question very carefully, I have written the question purposefully so that I can get answer. If you trace the tangent of the Israelis, then it shows that there just foreigner and European. The very Jewish people of today, can their lineage be found in time back to Jacob and his 12 children? the answer is very simple, no except for few in their numerous, not even in their population perhaps. The historical Palestine which is a Zionist state today, there was once a time habitant of the true Jews who were descendants of Jacob and his 12 children. Therefore, arguably and presumably, the Arabs has more right than the Jews who are from Europe and colonised and invaded the Palestine.
I will be frank here. These people come from a place considered to be the cradle of such beliefs preaching love, kindness, tolerance, understanding, and brotherhood, yet they fight their battles to no end.

@@anneramones2923 ok I didn’t realize how strange it sounded when I wrote it but here is how: I was baptized at birth by the Greek Orthodox Church by my Christian mom, and baptism is considered to be the initiation of a person into Christianity.

I have close friends and family from both religions and I do rituals and prayers from both. To be honest I feel the two religions complete each other because both are missing bits and pieces they could learn from the other.
I don’t agree the conflict is not about the Al Aqsa mosque Muslim pray outside of the 🕌 facing Mecca and turning their backs to the rock where Mohammad was taken during a dream. It’s about pride and feeling powerful. Power gives sens of self to people, not the right way in my opinion to feel good but it is what it is.
Sure, pride has a little to do with it, I wouldnt accept the people that got defeated by Romans and exiled for 2000 years to come in one day and say. Hey this is my land, here is the sell deed from Emperor Whatever VIII of Rome now get off my land.
Someone should please answer my curiosity. On this video they said prophet Mohammed made a night journey to the furthest mosque which is in Jerusalem. From articles that I’ve read, prophet Mohammed died 632 AD, but the first Muslim prayer house that was built on the complex was constructed around 640 AD. So which mosque was the Quran talking about?
@@matan9577 so what mosque the Quran referring to? According to Islam Al Aqsa is the furthest mosque which is in Jerusalem. When they say “furthest mosque” that means the mosque was already in existence.

It is great to hear this explained in a short documentary. Sandra Gathmann's voice is calm, clear, concerned but peaceful. A welcome change from other voices that attempt to convey the same story, but with emotional tones that are agitated or distorted by the deep and persistent traumas experienced by so many in the region.
Let’s all prey for the families and children on both sides..
Children don’t want war.
Truly appreciate the in depth, clear, and concisely articulated analysis and education for the public.
BS, nothing more.
Keep in mind that this is biased AF though, you'll want to check sources that aren't backed by Qatar too, to get a fuller picture.
The Israeli and Hamas conflict underscores the tragic consequences that can arise when religious differences lead to violence and division. In the pursuit of lasting peace, it's essential to transcend religious divides and prioritize the well-being of all people, regardless of their beliefs. Embracing secular values, such as human rights, equality, and diplomacy, can pave the way for a more peaceful and inclusive future where conflicts are resolved through dialogue and cooperation rather than religious affiliations. Art, as a powerful medium, can guide our morality by fostering empathy, promoting tolerance, and inspiring us to envision a world where humanity's shared values and aspirations unite us rather than divide us. Literature, in particular, has the unique ability to create open-minded perspectives by exposing us to diverse viewpoints, cultures, and ideas, which can ultimately lead to greater understanding and empathy among individuals and communities. Curiosity, not a belief in a deity, is the key to a fulfilling and meaningful life, driving us to explore, learn, and connect with the world around us in our shared human journey towards peace and enlightenment.
There’s no conflict the Hamas is terrorist. Iran is Terrorist. Leave Israelis alone and they’ll leave you alone.
You articulate it so well but unfortunately the world seems to be going backwards
@@katitribe1169Yes unfortunately because despite all progress and efforts many did investing in our inter-connecting universal values, many humans still and always prioritize religious bigotry, selfishness and superiority, the chosen people bullshit and the final prophecy bullcrap-superiority, peer pressure, territorial tribalism, pick a side no matter what like you pick a sports's team, black or white (no realistic grey argumentation)...which leads to confusion, rumors spreading, lies, misunderstanding, fear, distrust, division, hatred, segregation, supremacies of different kinds, predisposing the brains to be vulnerable to brainwashing through dishonest teachings and massive propaganda to serve different personal agendas and manipulations and there is a recipe for continuously feeding and maintaining the cycle of grudge, violence, revenge, bloodshet and never know each other's story and history and/or ever understand co-existing as DNA cousins or neighbors especially when you have the top far right extremists/fascists criminals and terrorist fanatics on both sides of leadership that require to be eradicated and replaced by trully moral intelligent people where mature actions can be taken through political compromise that will lead to gradual emotional recovery for the situation to be intellectually functional- Period

Good call your spot on,going to be impossible if religious people keep brain washing there children that there religion is the only right one.😢
Conspicuously missing from AJ's summary is the history of access to the Western Wall by Jewish worshippers when the Old City wasn't "occupied" (i.e. when it was under Jordanian control). Nothing to remark there? 🤔
Of course not. It goes against the narrative "Jews evil".
It's not mentioned because Al Jazeera is funded by THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD. So everything they share is pro Muslim and antisemitic.
Israelis couldn't access something that was within the area they exiled all the "undesirable" people? Boo hoo.
Here's an idea: Everyone is allowed to visit and pray there, as long as it is respectful towards other visitors/worshippers. Similar to how you're supposed to act in a library.
good idea but you dont understand humans. Humans of one group want to be thought of as special and closer to god than everyone else. they dont understand religion is hogwash and god loves everyone equally
It was always like that until 1948 😅
Learning of the current Gaza war has led me in need of much education. Finding your video at this time makes it even more vital to hear a complex issue presented clearly: you make sense of Jerusalem's centrality to three major religions. But how is it possible that such steps, leading to the most egregious attacks on prayer in what should be a safe and respected religious site at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, should pass us by? And how is one surprised that one day an eruption occurs, when freedom to pray and work and be is near buried?
I don't understand what you're saying. You seem to be on the side of the Waqf, but you say an "egregious attack on prayer". Perhaps it has passed by your notice, but the Waqf is literally preventing servants of God from praying to him. And what in God's eyes could be worse?
Arabs are restricted from praying on Al Aqsa when there are threats of violence to the Jews and others. It has happened more than once that rocks, boulders and bricks are hurled down at the Jewish worshipers praying at the Kotel/Western Wall. In contrast to this, Jews are always restricted from praying on what we call the Temple Mount. If a Jew attempts to pray on the Temple Mount, he is removed from the site immediately, and sometimes arrested if he's tried such a heinous crime before. And it is a lie to say that all rabbinic authorities forbid Jews from visiting the Temple Mount. Many rabbis allow it. It is also a lie to say that Al Aksa is only used for holy activities. Arabs go up to have picnics, play soccer, enjoy themselves with harmless fun. But Jews praying there are committing some kind of religious crime. Forbidding Jews from praying and visiting freely on their most holy site in their religion is 100% racism. There is no doubt that if the Temple Mount were entirely in the hands of the Arabs, Jews would not be allowed there at all. But as long as Israel has the final control, Arabs, Christians and Jews all have access. And one more thing: All the trouble did not begin in 1967. When Israel lost half of Jerusalem in 1948, it was felt like our heart was ripped from our bodies. So do not belittle the Jewish connection to all of Jerusalem. Our connection goes back 3,000 years.
@@donnazeff6597 Didnt John the baptist prophesized that messiah will come to judge 3000 years ago? Why the guy saying this narrative of coming of Messiah started in 1967? It does not sound right. All of this has been prophesized 3000 years ago
I mean al Jazeera isn't what I'd consider education but ok
All those moslems can enjoy their al aksa mosque and keep condemning Israel...but see what happening with your kabah in mekah...soon it will vanish after disasters n disasters ..
I wish that one day everyone will be able to pray together peacefully and safely.
amen.
Than we need to remove Zionism. Very simple. All
Religions are occupied in there.
Only times in History were people of all religion could pray in the temple mount in modern history is only from 1967 when Israel freed Jerusalem from the Jordanian occupation.
This was so helpful to people like me who are watching from far away. Trying to understand how they got to this place. It is very complicated, and has happened over years and years. I like that you stay neutral so we can understand both sides. I really like Sandra's voice and her manner of presentation.
Absolutely. . . . after a few days searching, this really IS the most educational that clearifies it completely !!! i just came here to say EXACT THE SAME THING.
and it doesnt really matter how they got to this place. . . yes it does matter, maybe somehow by finding the TRUTH we can find the SOLUTION because this NEEDS. TO. STOP.
You just conveniently forgot the truth parts here.
Hebron was a Jewish city untill the sultan came and expelled the news- for fact just see the meaningn of the word Hebron, isralei jewish city name
Next
Israel was recreated(the third time) inside Palestine ( again, a jewish name look up)
The un and the rest of the world decided to give israel 30% of the land
And 70% to jordan and Egypt
Israel were born and was happy
But all the arab countriea were against so they started the annihilation war on israel in 1948, fortunately israel prevail and won , else we all have been slaughtered.
Than israel lived happy with what they had the 30/40% land untill 1967
Than again allll the arab countries with thier million troops
Syria
Egypt
Jordan
Started annihilation war on israel
And yet again israel won, big time
And added another 50% to her size
Gaza
And the Judea and samaria
Reminding you there is no such thing as Palestine authority at that time
Judea and smamaria(again, jewish name, jewsih history) belong to jordan, and all of their citizens had Jordanian passports
And gaza belonged to egypt and all the gaza citizens had Egyptian passprt
And in the golan height, it belonged to Syria, and again, all the citizens there have Syrian passports
And than the surprise war in 1973 again multiple arab countries attacked israel tried to annihilat us, with the help.of ussr weapons and support.
But yet again, israel prevailed and, in the process, kept all the sinai area from egypt (that later we gave back to make peace with them)
And then after all thw arab countries saw they can't annihilat israel by force
They created a new plan
The Palestinian authority
They created a fake history
Fake leaders ( please name 1 Palestinian leader before 1967? Please name their flag, their currency, and mention in any history books of a Palestinian authority.... dont try as you will not find any, you will find many many many jewish mentions as again palestine name was given to jewsih israel by the Romans when they conquered israel, and this is located at the greek and all of the European history books by the way.)
And that at the 1990 we made peace with jordan and gave them control of Israeli western wall , our har habait , and they called it Al Aqza and we made peace with jordan.
Ans in 1994, we signed the oslo agreement, and by that, we formally established the Palestinian authority in judea and samaria and gaza
But in 2005, we decided we dont want to control gaza anymore, so we just got out from there ( search it up)
And gaza had thier democratic elections in 2007 2009 2005
And you who they choose ? Hamas terror organization
That made his goal to eradicate any jewish people and kill and conquered israel completely, and they too hate america European and any Western society
So there is no single.israeli citizen or soldier inside of the gaza strip until now
So guys, open your mined before you listen to any one sided propaganda
The moment the arab mother's will love their kids more than love to kill jewish kids
Then there will be real peace, untill than israel.will have to defend itself from this animals in the same level as isis

@@user-rt1if7fu3c But loads of mainstream news channels are really biased in favour of Israel. And surely Israel has overwhelming military might, they have a highly rained military equipped with state of the art weapons of mass destruction, supplied by the US. And Israel even has nuclear weapons. So it's really not a fair fight, the Palistinians really don't have anything to defend themselves with no trained military or weaponry. If Hamas attacks Israel and causes a bit of damage, and maybe 100 deaths, Israel always over reacts and destroys large areas occupied by Palistinians and kills thousands of Palistinians. Plus Israel has occupied Palistinian territory with military and taken their rights away, the Palistinians are effectively prisoners. Israel has bulldozed Palistinians homes and taken their land away by force
A place built by destroying another religious place will never be beautiful.
Two religions built on each other's ashes no matter how you stretch it.

@@jewelboxcreek
Jew religion, predates islam, no matter how much you stretch it.
It is really difficult to broker peace between Israel and Palestine. What is more baffling is the fact that religion tells us these people are the same parents. I have been to Israel, Palestine and Egypt and felt very sad at the level of insecurity within those regions. No free life.
“…there’s always the fear of how quickly things can escalate when it comes to Al-Aqsa.”
I don't want to go there, I believe God is in my heart. Take it if you want.
Sheer ignorance.
i am thinking about the same thing, God cannot be restricted to a building or a zip code.
Sometime I think as humans we don’t even know what we are fighting for ….it’s so sad to see a space of great overlap and connection for all be the very reason why we tear each other done
When one side sees non-believers as less than human or even someone who should be killed, and the other sees all enemies as bogeymen from the era of WW2 it’s easy to see what they are fighting for. It may not be right, it may be nonsense but it absolutely is understandable.
This conflict will never end until all sides renounce violence and accept one another’s right to exist.
All sides? Lol. The violent invasion has always been one-sided! (Although you've been indoctrinated otherwise).

Learning about this conflic from AJ ?
AJ is funded by Qatar, the patrons of major Isalmic T organizations.
They have a horse in this race and are very biased.
@@polenord-o5d Mark Twain and the bible says otherwise.
When there are two religions that focus on outer show during worship, instead of the inner relationship with God and conduct of oneself, such conflicts will always happen. I am glad that Jesus Christ came to teach us that what matters is in our hearts, it is about love for each other, and not just following the Old Testament law, and outer show during worship like the Pharisees did. As a Christian, I can stand and pray in that Temple and communicate with God, without anyone around me knowing that I did it. I hope that these two religions can seek peace, not revenge.
I must explicitly state that this is not a comment made in a disrespectful manner or with negative meaning, to anyone of any faith. Your faith is your personal and spiritual existence. I understand that and value it for the artistic and humanitarian values it has brought, whichever faith you may follow.
I am simply intrigued, being of a more socio-economic orientation, that such persistent hostility and inter-generational trauma can be generated by ancient concepts with little relevance to life today.
I understand the angle you want to view this conflict. At the end of the day this has always been about real estate and who controls it with religion as the primary motivator. Virtually all conflicts throughout history involve controlling land/resources and its occupants from the World Wars to Russia Ukraine.
Viewers say it's balanced presentation, but I see a story and a theory of one faith and slightly more about another. however it's a good explanation on the current status and future. feel sorry for the people living in this region. "Becoming a slave of your own invention is the worst punishment for the humankind".
What is the invention? Certainly not God. You will meet Him anyways, then you will realize He is /was so real? Everything you see will be destroyed....except the true you....soul and spirit that will meet the Lord.

@@pamreneick464 I completely agree!
Sometimes, I always question myself "does isreal has no Remorse nor compassion after what happend to their kind in 1939?? And they do the same thing for almost 80 years now?" This is always a question that has not really an answer. Every single ramadan in Palestine it feels like Palestinians are afraid of their own holy month because they know whats going to happen. And its heartbreaking. It feels like a clockwork for the isreal militairy. I just hope Palestine keeps fighting of what has taken away from them. Not just their land but family and friends and citizens. Let this be a Historical evidence to hear their voices.
I wonder about that too, they have no problems doing it to others. Which makes me believe that everyone is "human" and capable of doing crazy things to anyone. Being a victim nowadays just adds a shield of protection.
They conveniently forgot to mention that the 6 days war was started by the Arab nations surrounding Israel and was a surprise attack. The Arabs were defeated and Israel pushed it’s bordered out to grant them more distance between where potential artillery could be placed and Jerusalem. This is critical in understanding why Israel took possession of the West Bank and Gaza.
This is one sided video. Jewish were enslaved in egypt for 400years and attacked by the babylonians and destroyed its temple (where al aqsa stands)
I'd like to know where you got your information from considering the history books state otherwise, no it wasn't started by the arab nations, it was started by israel, and that's what your going to read in any history book or internet source for that matter
If you defeated Arabs why can't you defeat now small group 🙄
Excellent Video. Thank you Al Jazeera for the truth!!!!
Truth? I do not think truth meant anything to this channel and obviously for you too.
This video is really helpful because the media in my country never mentions Al-Aqsa, which was the name of the operation.
Strange that Al Jazeera skips the portion where Muslim worshippers threw stones at Jewish visitors visiting the south wall region. This on multiple occasions led to multiple clashes inside the mosque complex, due to which security was enhanced.
Even stranger is all these geniuses believing they're getting factual, unbiased reporting and information on The Israeli palestinian conflict from al-jazeera, it's truly laughable. The story of mahmouda ascending to heaven from this site is factually impossible seeing as it was built sixty years after his supposed ascension.

Who and what would you see replace him? Hamas? Islamic Jihad? I think the biggest problem for the Palestinians has been their repeated use of violence in a situation where violence especially from them given the relative military strengths cannot prevail and their constant refusal to accept a reasonable peaceful political solution - i.e. to make necessary compromises in order to get _something_ even if they'll never get everything they want. They should have accepted the Oslo Accords and taken them seriously or taken the later peace deals offered by Olmert & Clinton. They kind of reverse haggling themselves into getting offfered less and less each time after turning down previous generous peace offers. Their leadership keeps making poor decisions and their people have been too indoctrinated with hate-filled propaganda to accept that they have to learn to share with a Jewish state & Israelis who they are going to need to live in some sort of peace with eventually.
@@platylobiumobtuseangulum1607 the oslo accords were violated by Israel since their inception with the separation barriers, demolition of Palestinian houses in areas A and B, occupation and settlement in areas B. Then there was the the "deal of the century" by Trump and Netanyahu which was a Swiss cheese map due to all the illegal Israeli settlements, no Palestinian control of any travel, interconnected highways controlled by you guessed it Israelis with trigger happy fingers. As the commentator mentioned in this video, Israel is strategically expanding brick by brick which we see today. Now from a business standpoint why would Israel offer any legitimate peace agreement when their way of taking over is clearly working for them. Any peace negotiation would mean that both parties have to compromise something but we just don't see this with Israel. In fact they are always gaining more and Al Aqsa has always been on the agenda.

Now I able to understand everything, I always feel complexity in understanding why Jews storm Al Aqsa every now and then. Thanks for such video
Do we know that? We within brothers fighting among ourselves here , out there they are burning Torah and Quran why? We need to stand together
My name is Vedran, I come from Croatia and now I will GIVE YOU THE ULTIMATE, FINAL PROOF THAT JESUS CHRIST IS KING/SON/GOD.
NO ONE HAS REALIZED THIS UNTIL NOW. (THANKS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR THE REVELATION)
Jesus Christ died for our sins.
The Jews were saved by God's commandments, but from material death,
god then punished people who worshiped false "gods" with death, but with MATERIAL death, not with final judgment.
the final judgment/judgment comes when the second Coming of Jesus comes.
So let me repeat:
The Jews were saved by God's commandments, but from material death, not from the final judgment because everyone has sinned and no one can come to the Father in his kingdom.
Example; ISAIAH 6:1-7
"In the year in which King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and his lap filled the Temple.
Above him stood the seraphim, each with six wings: with two they covered their face, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew.
And they shouted to each other and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory!"
And the doorposts shook at the voice of him who shouted and the House was filled with smoke.
((This is a very important part)).
Then I said: "Woe is me, because I have failed! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a nation of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
On Tuesday, one of the seraphim flew to me; in his hand was an ember that he had taken from the altar with tongs.
And with them he touched my mouth and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips: and your iniquity is removed, and your sin is cleansed."

Someone has to redeem us, it can't be burnt offerings because it's not a big enough sacrifice, it can't be wood, it can't be animals
they cannot be other people either because we have all sinned, we are all in Adam.
You have to be a man who has been perfect all his life, without a single sin.
So we need a righteous person, and as we know, no one is perfect except God himself.
one should be a man who is perfect, but only God is perfect, so God was born in the body of an innocent woman
(if you say it's not, you're blaspheming GOD because nothing is impossible for God)
He was born through the chosen people so that all who believe may be saved and not condemned
John 3:16
Because God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Thank you for affirming what I thought all along. The distinction between oppressor and oppressed is much clearer now.
Yes it is. Israel is the oppressed. Attacked from all sides/all neighbors, in the charters of multiple “states” that it’s the annihilation of Israel or nothing at all. All the while Israel is defending a country barely the size of New Jersey. Israel wants nothing but peace, their neighbors want nothing but death. Get your facts right
Bot troll
I can’t believe that so many people are commenting that this is unbiased when it’s so clearly ignoring small but important facts.
We want justice for Palestina 🇦🇪💪🏼
Embracing Sanatan dharma is need of hour for Palestinians & Israelis they should immediately give a thought to revert back to Sanatan Dharma for a prosperous peaceful future... Say Hare Krishna Join ISKCON
in arabia. temple mt is judea.could be palestine if they accepted 1947,1999 and 2006 partition plan.they refused consistently,no compromise with islamists over our land
What your saying about Palestinians I am not understand
Very informative! Beautifully explained, thank you!
I pray peace between the two countries.
In sha ALLAH, one day I will pray salat in Al Aqsa masjid
U won't, value your life and pray somewhere itself
@@michaelacheampong2869
Yes We will, its mentioned in the quran the rise and the fall of the children of Israel is mentioned in the quran
We will capture the whole Palestine inshallah 🤡🇮🇱💙
Ofc we will!❤🇯🇴
Troublemakers be like lets build our mosque on someone's most holy site and call it our third holy site. 😂. It is most holy site for the jews even before mohammed was born.
Another lesson learnt. Nice job Sandy
Hatsoff to Aljazeera !! what a presentation !
Till date I am still trying to put this around my head. I can't seem to understand the complexity of this conflict 😢
There's the truth and the superpower that try to hide the truth. Dig hard if you want to know the truth.
Me too
one day a group of unknown people enter your house and get inside your living room and say its theirs. tomorrow they get into you bedroom and claim as theirs. the next day they claim the whole house and kick you out of the house. you file a police report but nothing ever happen. hope that helps
@@aqv4 Don't forget, at the end, they also put you in a cage in the backyard.
It's complexity makes this issue unending and unsolvable for decades,,,when an Israeli or a Palestini is born they're told to hate each other without knowing why ...makes this worse ..I'm not taking sides but not seeing this solved until anyone completely swiped from earth ..😢😢
You’re missing Aton of context and painting is real as the sole aggressor please make more videos beacause the founding in 1948 is very important and the hamas election in 2006 is also important to cover and the break down of peace talks and the 2012 war
Outstanding video. I look to be more informed about this situation and this really helped. As an atheist, I am saddened by the story that is ongoing in that region. I hope that scientific minds can have an impact on the people there, with years of indoctrination to overcome. I am not optimistic.
Atheists themselves are indoctrinated by the poison of ideology ....and cannot separate that from rationality and logic, so you have no place to lecture anyone. Deal with your own biases first.
There's nothing to be optimistic about, as it seems...
Most of the actors involved are fanatics, in my opinion.
Fanatics don't listen to scientific/rational arguments.
Very sad indeed.
What is science? Is that a dude? If it's a set of rules then who. Created it?
Burry a Toyota in the dirt for a 100 years if it turns into a Ferrari by itself ..then we will talk. Why does everybody gotta die? Stop death...then we will talk .who decides these matters? Or die and come back to life again and tell us that there is nothing after death. Prove it . Or shut it. Go ahead prove it.
Great report. Thank you.
Superior clarity and educational reporting. Very simply presented. Thank you.
Holy sites should be open to all religions for prayer. The fact that you try and defend discrimination based on religion shows just how undemocratic Qatar is.
Spot on male bs pride what happens before a fall
True
Then why are Palestinians banned from entering the site?
Actually a nice explanation. Some facts are missing, but still good. I admit.
The Israeli magav forces are not storming wirhout a reason or just for fun….
Al-Aqsa is actually not mentioned in the Quran - the far Mosque would actually have been in Istanbul and not Jerusalem.
Israel became more religious in the past 30 years. Thats why temple mount gets more attention from the israeli people. In 1967 israel was much less religious - thats why the agreement with Jordan was made.
I understood that before the conflict the Al Aqsa Mosque was in Saud Arabia. It was only changed to Jerusalem to support the Arab Palestinian narrative that Jerusalem was always an Arab city. The Quaran never mentions Jerusalem even once while the Jewish Bible older than both Christian and Islamic text mention it 600 times. The Arch in Rome is the bragging rights of the Roman takeover of Jerusalem and the sacking of the Temple.
When the Quran was revealed to Mohamed Istanbul was not a muslim country/city. As to Al-Aqsa, it is indeed mentioned in the Quran Surah Israa Aya 1: Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa (الأقصى in the original version of which Al-aqsa is a transliteration), whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
As an Indonesian muslim we all told by our oarents that this is ocupation from the start, so from the start 1948 till now and forever will alaways be supporting palestinian by our generation. We also build INDONESIAN HOSPITAL where no our goverment involve. Pure funding from muslim society. And were ready to defend al aqsa Insya Allah.
The utterance ‘Muslim will pray and non-Muslim will visit’, what if we don’t agree or as per irrelevant and we don’t pay attention to it, do we needed to see or receive any kind of retaliation??!!
If it’s a core tenant of your religion, I don’t understand how you could go against that?
Well you converted hagia Sofia to a mosque without taking any permission, right?
@@temp1851 to whom does it belongs to? Who should turkey government takes permission from?
@@mohammedeliyas6025 by that logic, Al asqa belongs to the israelis, no?
@@temp1851 Understand the question very carefully, I have written the question purposefully so that I can get answer. If you trace the tangent of the Israelis, then it shows that there just foreigner and European. The very Jewish people of today, can their lineage be found in time back to Jacob and his 12 children? the answer is very simple, no except for few in their numerous, not even in their population perhaps. The historical Palestine which is a Zionist state today, there was once a time habitant of the true Jews who were descendants of Jacob and his 12 children. Therefore, arguably and presumably, the Arabs has more right than the Jews who are from Europe and colonised and invaded the Palestine.
very clearly illustrated. thanks
Jews deserve a country.
I will be frank here.
These people come from a place considered to be the cradle of such beliefs preaching love, kindness, tolerance, understanding, and brotherhood, yet they fight their battles to no end.
Willing to kill over a Holy site, we are all hypocrites, no one really believes in God or that they will be judged some day.
Nato is hypocrite,now they worry about rusia china ,north korea allies lol
You have a blessed heart.
Just dig the ground below the floor of the Al Aqsa and you will find the hard archeological evidences of who owns the land.
Those so called Jews have NO Blood Ties to King David.
So appreciate these explanations.
Best video ive seen on the topic !! As a half Muslim half Christian Lebanese, I long to visit this whole site. Sadly it seems as it will never be accessible to people like me even though it’s a mere 6 hour drive from beirut. Very sad to see how it’s being managed and treated 😢
In 5 years it will be different,
No one can serve two master .
I’m genuinely interest in how you can be half Muslim and half Christian? Perhaps you meant that your parents belong each to one of the two religions ?
@@anneramones2923 ok I didn’t realize how strange it sounded when I wrote it but here is how: I was baptized at birth by the Greek Orthodox Church by my Christian mom, and baptism is considered to be the initiation of a person into Christianity. On the other hand my father is Muslim so I am considered Muslim by birth. I never converted from one to the other and I think I took the best of both worlds. I have close friends and family from both religions and I do rituals and prayers from both.
To be honest I feel the two religions complete each other because both are missing bits and pieces they could learn from the other.
@@itchyballs3129 they can if the two masters are in accord
Stay strong Israel.
Stay strong palestine
I don’t agree the conflict is not about the Al Aqsa mosque Muslim pray outside of the 🕌 facing Mecca and turning their backs to the rock where Mohammad was taken during a dream. It’s about pride and feeling powerful. Power gives sens of self to people, not the right way in my opinion to feel good but it is what it is.
What are you talking about mate?go do some proper research before you type please dude,you just sound ignorant
It wasn't a dream, it was a physical journey
He travelled there on a special animal from jannah. Wait till we get to the day of qiyaamah
Sure, pride has a little to do with it, I wouldnt accept the people that got defeated by Romans and exiled for 2000 years to come in one day and say. Hey this is my land, here is the sell deed from Emperor Whatever VIII of Rome now get off my land.
Your opinion is garbage
I believe Best opinions are usually formed by being open and listening to opposing sides.
Sandra Gathmann is such a great presenter.
This woman is so amazing
Yes, very good at presenting lies and opinions as though they were fact.
@@danielgreen1124 shut up
Someone should please answer my curiosity. On this video they said prophet Mohammed made a night journey to the furthest mosque which is in Jerusalem. From articles that I’ve read, prophet Mohammed died 632 AD, but the first Muslim prayer house that was built on the complex was constructed around 640 AD. So which mosque was the Quran talking about?
Maybe it's not clearly indicated that this mosque is the one mentioned in the Quran, since IIRC Jerusalem is not once mentioned by name in the Quran
Delusional if you ask me
@@matan9577 so what mosque the Quran referring to? According to Islam Al Aqsa is the furthest mosque which is in Jerusalem. When they say “furthest mosque” that means the mosque was already in existence.
"You must respect my magical mumbo jumbo!"
"No, you must respect MY magical mumbo jumbo!"
Here's an idea. Level the whole compound.
If your ancestral homes are being invaded for decades, your men,women, kids being killed and imprisoned..your toens being bombed..you would be surprised to know what you are capable of when you are fighting with the belief there is no other way or hope.when you have only 2 choices to die while fighting or die like a coward. God bless palestine 🇵🇸 and its people❤
At any rate, If Adolf Hitler was here today, he would say, "See?"
Very well constructed explanation. Very big injustice to palestine
For Jewish temple,for messiah
