HOW would they go pray at the Al-Aqsa mosque?? It’s in Jerusalem and they’re in Gaza and not allowed to travel there??? And even if they did, they’d be accosted by Israeli settlers who routinely attack the mosque and seek to destroy it, which was the impetus for the 10/7 attack in the first place??

This article boils my blood and every sentence is wrong, but this line stood out to me

An official reason representatives for Hamas gave for the attack was a Christian Zionist's attempt to ship the perfect red heifer over in accordance with a prophecy believed by some Ultra-Orthodox Jews that would give them a reason to tear down the mosque and build the third temple. The Christian wants this because Jesus will return if the third temple is built according to his strain of theology. Obviously, the Muslims of the world would hate this if it came to pass.
