US government delegation cuts short Saudi trip after rabbi is asked to remove kippah Rabbi Abraham Cooper, who chairs the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, says ‘no one should be denied access to a heritage site… simply for existing as a Jew’
The incident comes against a backdrop of tensions between Saudi Arabia and US ally Israel over the war in Gaza, and US efforts to promote normalization of ties between the two states once the conflict is over.
bibles and churches are banned in Saudi arabia
Only islam is allowed to be prosletysed, non muslims are completely banned from mecca
Around 2 million Muslims enjoying complete freedom of religion inside Israel. While Jews cannot even wear a small head cover in neighboring countries.
Yet about which country the millions of hateful useful idiots gathering in the streets of western capitals shouting “Apartheid”?
Not only do Muslims have freedom of religion but Jews are not allowed to pray on the temple mount by law. While true that some interpretations of Judaism forbid even setting foot on the temple mount until the third temple is built that not all of them do and it is not the reason for the law. The law is there because historically whenever Palestinians even think Jews may be trying to do anything of a religious nature on the temple mount there has been violence. So despite having physical access to the temple mount Jews are not allowed to pray on it in order to maintain the status quo from before Israel captured the area in 1967 in order to attempt to keep the peace.
When polled, most Gazans listed al-Aqsa as the reason for the Oct 7th massacre (hence the name al-Aqsa flood) over seeking statehood or the blockade
The poll showed that 81% of respondents believed that Hamas’ primary goal in its Oct. 7 attack was a “response to settler attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque and on Palestinian citizens and for the release of prisoners from Israeli prisons.”
It found that 72% of respondents approved of Hamas’ decision to launch the Oct. 7 attack, in which the terror group killed 1,200 Israelis, took more than 240 captive and committed numerous atrocities.
call it for what it is ,this is a religious conflict
Man, if your argument relies on comparing a country to despotism like Saudi Arabia to get a ‘favorable’ comparison, maybe both countries are dog shite.

Well is Israel not merciful to allow Muslims to pray while they are being starved to death and murdered? Real good Samaritans the people in the Israeli government are.
Lol.
