Systematic religious persecution against Muslims and Christians in Jerusalem

Recently, many videos spread on social networking sites run by the occupation army that show dangerous content showing Israeli occupation soldiers at military checkpoints providing first aid to some Palestinian citizens who wanted to perform I'tikaaf in Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Night of Power, and other videos showing occupation soldiers distributing water to them and others shaking hands with them. And many others, it is nothing more than pictures, many of which are exaggerated to beautify the occupation and its ugly face in front of the real pictures that have spread extensively of the brutal attacks of the occupation army on Muslim worshipers in the Al-Qibli Mosque, breaking doors and windows and arresting worshipers, followed by other horrific scenes of beating and dragging Christian worshipers in front of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in The occasion of "Saturday of Light" and preventing them from entering the church. Intentional scenes reported by the Hebrew media do not change reality, nor do they beautify the image of the heavily armed occupation soldiers, nor can they refute the fact that Muslims and Christians are subjected to systematic religious persecution by the occupying power, nor can they cover up the difficulties faced by the Palestinians in the West Bank through dozens of military checkpoints to reach Jerusalem, in addition to To completely prevent the people of Gaza from secluding themselves and establishing the Night of Power in Al-Aqsa. The occupation police had issued a decision to limit the number of Christians celebrating the "Sabbath of Light" celebration, which angered the church leaders, who considered it part of what they describe as continuous Israeli efforts to restrict the rights, freedoms and worship of Christians in the Holy City. Jerusalem, as is well known, prevents Christians from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank from reaching Jerusalem, not on the occasion of "Light Saturday", but on every Christian celebration in return. Prevention is an occupational method used to reduce the number of Muslim and Christian worshipers in their sanctities in the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Resurrection. It is a systematic racist method adopted by the occupation to reduce the number of Muslim worshipers in Al-Aqsa Mosque and the number of Christian worshipers in the Church of the Resurrection, not for security reasons, but rather a systematic occupation policy to impose Israeli sovereignty over the holy places in the Holy City.

This is not a new policy pursued by the government of Netanyahu Ben Gvir, but it is old even during the previous governments, and it has come to mean the refusal of the occupation authorities that Muslims or Christians have any authority over their holy sites. As a prelude to resolving the overall Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Everyone is aware that this may lead to a complex religious war, but the occupation government does not care about this and does not care about the confusion of the scene as a result of the practice of more occupation measures that harass Muslims and Christians alike, because the Arab world and the international community did not express its rejection of these practices except by denunciation, denunciation and concern about such behaviors Occupation is nothing more, and it is known that the occupation does not care about denunciation and denunciation as long as its interests are not harmed, and it does not care about the international community's expression of concern as a result of these measures, which are based on measures that rise to religious persecution and assault on religious sanctities and worshipers, Muslims and Christians.

The truth is that the occupation is practicing a systematic policy to de-Palestineize the Holy City and turn it into a city of Jewish character, with nothing in it suggesting that it was once an Arab, Islamic, Palestinian city. The occupation realizes that it cannot get rid of the Islamic and Christian holy places in Jerusalem in a short time, and no occupying government can do that. Israeli sovereignty by force over everything related to Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Resurrection, and thus changed the historical situation in Al-Aqsa Mosque by dividing it temporally and spatially and establishing the alleged temple in place of the tribal worshiper and in front of the Mughrabi Gate.

This is a systematic religious persecution practiced by the occupation government and has to do with the Zionist political project based on an entity with one nationality and one religion. This is why Netanyahu's extremist religious government insists on denying the right of the Palestinian people to their sanctities and their right to their historical land and does not recognize the existence of other religions in Palestine other than the Jewish Zionist religion. Perhaps this persecution has become It requires real intervention from the international community and protection for Muslims, Christians and all Palestinian people in all areas of the West Bank and Jerusalem. The truth is that the Netanyahu government does not seek to open Jerusalem to all religions and turn it into a holy city in which the freedom of worship of the three religions is respected, but it seeks to prove that the owners of the Jewish religion only are the vast majority in the holy city, and therefore the Israeli government has the right to impose Israeli sovereignty over every holy place that follows the Islamic and Christian religions from In order to protect the Jews and their sanctities, which history has proven that they do not have any historical sanctities in Jerusalem, and the "Wailing" wall, which is the Palestinian Al-Buraq Wall, is nothing but a place where the Jews wanted to practice their religious rituals, as it is part of Al-Aqsa Mosque and nothing more.

The religious persecution practiced against Muslims and Christians is not minor or on specific occasions such as holidays and the blessed month of Ramadan. Rather, it is a systematic occupation policy throughout the year that seems focused on holidays, not to make Muslims miserable and provoke them, but rather to make them feel that Al-Aqsa Mosque is not only for them, but the Jews are also partners in it, and this is more dangerous than the provocation itself. . The silence of the world, UNESCO and the United Nations on such heinous religious persecution would expose the region to a fierce religious war that confuses the entire region and sows chaos and instability everywhere, so it has become a duty for all international bodies and central countries in the world, the Human Rights Council, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the League of Arab States and the Vatican The real and serious endeavor to provide international protection for Muslims and Christians alike, especially since those historical sanctities are located within the borders of June 4, 1967, and all the laws of the occupied land apply to them, which require the protection of the historical and religious heritage, both Islamic and Christian, from the abuse of the occupation authorities.
