“They did not say death to Gaza or Palestine, but to all Arabs.” With this phrase, Palestinian activists commented on the chants of right-wing Israeli settlers, which they chanted in provocative marches witnessed yesterday in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, which included attacks on Palestinians before the arrival of the Israeli flags march to Damascus Gate, one of the most famous… Gates of the old city.

Racist chants by extremist settlers angered many users of social media platforms at the Arab and international levels, so that some Palestinian activists found the images coming from Jerusalem unacceptable, calling on Muslims to defend the sanctity of their religion.
O Muslims!! The journey of your Messenger and his ascension to heaven will be desecrated, and the sanctity of your religion will be violated.

“Muhammad died “
This is what the Israeli terrorists shout in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque as the media march begins.
Our fraternity died, our dignity died, our chivalry died, our pride died, and everything we learned from our beloved Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, died.
We were stripped of everything, our history, our civilization and our religion. pic.twitter.com/FpTI5kyh5x

While one of them said, “A bitterness that cannot be expressed in any word… and I see that our Jerusalem has no place for foot except for an unclean pig,” after the extremist settlers carried out the so-called flag march.
A bitterness that is incapable of uttering any word, a pain that cuts off any words, and a fire in the chest that I have never felt on any given day. I see our sanctuary with no footing in it except for an unclean pig, and I see Aqsana crying in the corner, and they bombed those who responded to his call every year!
I see a growing genie vendetta with all of these people, teenagers and adults… pic.twitter.com/g2cmIe5oE2

In the state of hysteria and euphoria that the Zionists are experiencing, they do not stop practicing all forms of desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque, taking advantage of the inability, silence, cooperation, or Arab and Islamic betrayal to practice their corrupt rituals every day under the protection of the occupation soldiers, as happened today, but it is in the vision of the believers of the end of the Zionist project… pic.twitter.com/AwRKqRjyoH

Provocative marches from extremist settlers participated Israeli Minister of National Security Itar Ben Gvir, who made statements to the media that was present on the spot, repeating: We are sending a message to the Hamas movement from here: “Jerusalem is ours, Damascus Gate is ours, the Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa Mosque) is ours, and absolute victory is ours.” His statements ignited social media platforms.
Regarding Ben Ghafir’s statements in Al-Aqsa Mosque today… he is not alone.
During what is known as the Flag March, he said:
“On this happy and complicated day at the same time, we send a message to Hamas from here: Jerusalem is ours, Damascus Gate is ours, the Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa Mosque) is ours, and absolute victory is ours.”
Illusion sellers in Ramallah and other capitals…

In a related context, dozens of Palestinians went out in the Palestinian city of Tamra, which is located in the Western Galilee region, in marches rejecting the flag march and what the extremist settlers did, chanting slogans, “Oh Gaza, do not shake all your dignity and pride.”
Press coverage: “Oh Gaza, do not shake.”

Tensions over the march are increasing this year in light of the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October, which left more than 119,000 Palestinians martyred and wounded – most of them children and women – and about 10,000 missing.
