Anyone who uses the word 'storming' in this context is completely moronic.

Is talking a walk and praying at an ancient holy site "storming" and violent? Please explain to me how denying Jewish ties to Har HaBayit (and the Cave of Machpelah) isn't antisemitic?

Yet occupying streets, middle of the roads, public places , airplane aisles and blaring the azaan publicly for their own namaz is totally fine.
They don't get to complain when other religions are praying. Allah isn't selective with his mercy like any God, so don't make him look bad.

I stormed the grocery store yesterday. Children wept and cried as I took bananas and cashiers cursed me as I used the self checkout aisle.
I expect listnookors will be referring me to the Hague for my war crimes. But I enjoyed this bananas.

“offered Jewish prayers at the site”
Jews…praying…at the holiest site in Judaism. I really can’t understand why that isn’t allowed.
Muslims believe that we worship the same god, do they not? And they know that our Temple was built there, and the importance of Temple Mount to us. So someone please tell me why, if I, as a Jew, pray there, that it would be so shocking?

In Islam, worshipping the same god as Jews is not enough. One must ALSO accept the claims of prophethood made by Muhammad.

It’s an absolutely huge area of which the mosque takes up only a tiny fraction.
Ben Gvir is an absolute ass. But it seems bizarre that people get so bent out of shape about Jews praying at the Temple Mount.
Media sources intentionally inflame the issue by conflating the Al Aqsa Mosque itself with what some call the Al Aqsa Compound, which is normally referred to as haram al-sharif (the noble sanctuary) or har ha-bayit (the Temple Mount).
The whole thing isn’t a mosque. It’s basically an open air park that only Muslims are allowed to pray in.

Ben-Gvir didn't "storm" the *Mosque* though, this is just Al-Jazeera stoking religious tensions by pretending the entire Al-Aqsa / Temple Mount compound is the mosque.
The iconic building with the colorful dome **isn't** the mosque, the actual mosque is a nondescript building in the corner of the compound.
Access by Jewish visitors to parts of the compound during certain hours a few days a week has been the norm going back more than a half century, Al-Jazeera just likes to pretend it's some massive outrage.
(And Ben-Gvir likes to provoke further by openly praying during his visits, which is technically a violation)

The entire thing isn’t a mosque.
The comparison based on your question would be “can you and your gang of violent hateful shits go and pray in a public park across the street from a synagogue.”
And the answer in most democratic places in the world would be “yes, you can pray in a public space.”

You are allowed to pray at any synagogue you can find in Mecca or Medina. Do whatever you like! Riyadh as well, for fun!

Nobody stormed the mosque. This is disinformation. Jews were praying in the holiest site in Judaism, and there is nothing wrong with that.

it's absolutely insane that Jews going to pray to a place that's holy to them is controversial in any way.
that place should be open to prayer to people of all religions.

I’m not the one wasting my time being a hypocrite in churches. Sikhs are the only exception. Point me to all those good Christians condemning violence, adultery, and greed. Oh wait you can’t, because they’re all conservatives. Again, stay on task or go find some crayons to snack on.
Edit: lol God’s dumbest warrior blocked me when they couldn’t come up with anything more than “stop being mean to the biggest scams in human history.”

You are right. If there was no religion, humans would (and have) be killing other humans' due ideology, without ideology it would be by the color of their skin or language or any excuse, no matter of petty it would be (like how people have been killed due being fans of certain football team)

People need to remember that the biggest mass murderers in history, Mao and Stalin, were atheists. Atheists murdered more people than all the religious fanatics in history combined.

Well religions that preach love and acceptance after asking for forgiveness aren’t exactly filled with devoted believers doing anything to kick out those seeking to use their beliefs as an excuse. But that’s more a feature of religion than a bug. So yeah, religion is the issue.

For a bit of clarity: ascending the temple mount to pray is also fairly controversial within Judaism. The ultra-orthodox rabbi's absolutely hate it when Ben-Gvir does this, and while splitting from the government to the opposition is off the table right now (money reasons) if after the next election there's an opportunity for Netanyahu to form a government (sorry, that's still very much on the table) without him they will very much demand it, mostly \*because\* of his constant trips to the mount.

Yes, its a foundational belief in Judaism. Its the site of the other two temples, which to this day are a huge focus
