🚨Those who recognize Tisha B'Av (including Mayor Mamdani) commemorate the destruction of the Jewish Temple that once stood in Jerusalem, what Muslims refer to as Bayt al-Maqdis, often without knowing the origin of the name. I explain the etymology and the history behind it.

From the ancient Babylonians, through the Romans, to today's Palestinians, there have been countless attempts to erase and deny the Jewish People's connection to Jerusalem. For Tisha B'Av this year, I toured the ruins of Second Temple Jerusalem. It's a must-visit site!

Muslims named after Israeli Prophets should never question Israel’s legitimacy. It gets even more interesting when Muslims use the term 'Bayt Al Maqdis' without knowing its origin. Share this video with all your Muslim friends; these facts are undeniable.

Today is the Jewish holiday of Tisha B’Av when the tragedies of history are mourned. From the destruction of the Temple to the expulsion of Jews from England in 1290. My husband Adam Ma'anit in his stab vest remembered his relatives Tsachi and Ma’ayan Idan murdered on October 7 💔

The Arch of Titus was built in Rome in 81 CE to celebrate the Roman “victory” over the Jews after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Its famous relief shows Roman soldiers parading the spoils of Jerusalem, the most notably the menorah, the central symbol of Jewish faith and sovereignty. For Jews, the arch was never a monument of Roman glory, but a stone record of exile, humiliation, and forced dispersion. For centuries, Jews avoided walking beneath it, refusing to legitimize a symbol meant to celebrate their destruction. History, however, had other plans: the Roman Empire vanished. The Jewish people survived and returned to sovereignty in their homeland. What was carved as a symbol of defeat became proof of Jewish continuity and resilience

Today is Tisha B'Av, the saddest day in the Jewish calendar. A day when tragedy after tragedy struck our people. The First Temple. The Second Temple. The Crusades. The Inquisition. Expulsions from England and Spain. Deportations to death camps. All of it, again and again, on this day. Tisha B'Av is a day shaped by grief, a date when generation after generation faced destruction, exile and loss. But the Jews don't let tragedies define us. We use them as a catalyst not just survive, but to thrive. We remember these events to help us preserve what others try to erase, to reconnect to our identity, to remember the pain and to powerfully commit to learning, to growing and to rebuilding with love.

🇦🇷🇮🇱 In Jerusalem today , Argentinian President Javier Milei said that he wants to see the reconstruction of the Third Jewish Temple, to fulfill the prophecy that will bring the Jewish messiah to Earth. This implies the destruction of the al-Aqsa Mosque, which is located there, and is the third holiest place in Islam. He seems either unaware or does not care that the “jewish messiah” is also the Antichrist…

“We Are Rome” 🏛️ There is a long historical memory of conflict between the jewish people and the ancient Roman Empire. That memory comes mainly from events in the 1st–2nd centuries CE that were extremely traumatic in jewish history. 1. Destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple🕍 In 70 CE, Roman forces led by Titus crushed a jewish revolt and destroyed Second Temple in Jerusalem. •The Temple was the center of jewish religious life. •Its destruction was devastating spiritually, culturally, and politically. •jews were killed, enslaved, or displaced. This event is still mourned annually during Tisha B’Av. 2. Jewish–Roman Wars⚔️ There were several major revolts against Roman rule: •First Jewish–Roman War (66–73 CE) •Kitos War (115–117 CE) •Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–136 CE) After the Bar Kokhba revolt, Emperor Hadrian: •Banned many jewish practices •Renamed the province Judea to Syria Palaestina •Barred jews from entering Jerusalem 3. Exile and Diaspora 🧳 Roman policies contributed to the wider jewish diaspora, spreading jewish communities across the Mediterranean and beyond. Many Jewish traditions interpret Rome as a symbol of exile and oppression in that period. 4. “Rome” in jewish texts ☦️ In some rabbinic writings, “Rome” became a symbolic name for later oppressive empires (and sometimes even medieval Christian powers). So references to Rome in jewish literature aren’t always about the literal ancient Romans. 1/3

Most people have no idea about the real history of Al-Aqsa Mosque, because they’ve only been fed the Islamic Palestinian propaganda version of events. They believe that Al-Aqsa has always been Islam’s third holiest site, that it has belonged to Muslims since the dawn of time, and that Israel is the oppressor for merely existing near it. None of that is true. The Temple Mount in Jerusalem was the holiest site in Judaism for over a thousand years before Islam even appeared in history. It housed the First and Second Jewish Temples, the center of Jewish worship and pilgrimage. When the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70 AD, they built pagan shrines over it, but its Jewish identity never disappeared. In the 7th century Islam emerges and expands through conquest, and begins hijacking Jewish and Christian sites, prophets, and narratives. At first, Jerusalem had no major significance in Islam. Muhammad never set foot there. There was no mosque. There was no pilgrimage. There was no Islamic history tied to the city. But that changed during the brutal power struggle between Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan and Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr. By the late 7th century, Islam was deeply divided. Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr controlled Mecca and Medina, the two holiest cities in Islam. And Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, the Umayyad Caliph, controlled the Levant. But Abd al-Malik had a problem, he didn’t want the people of the Levant traveling to Mecca for pilgrimage, because that would give power to his rival. Abd al-Malik declared the Temple Mount as Alaqsa mosque that was mentioned in the quran, and he made it an alternative place of pilgrimage. He ordered the construction of the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque to divert attention from Mecca. And just like that, Islam manufactured a holy site for political gain. The real Masjid Al-Aqsa referred to in the Quran was not in Jerusalem, it was between Mecca and Ta’if. There was no mosque in Jerusalem at the time. There was no Islamic presence there. Yet, centuries later, after Islam had conquered the city, the Islamic narrative retroactively applied this Quranic verse to Jerusalem, again, for political convenience. If Israel wanted to act like Islamic conquerors, it could have easily done to Al-Aqsa what Turkey did to the Hagia Sophia. It could have converted the mosque into the Third Temple, banned Muslim prayer on the site, erased any trace of Islamic history, as Muslims did to Christian and Jewish sites throughout history. But Israel didn’t do that. Israel allows Muslims to pray there freely. Israel protects Al-Aqsa, even as it is used to spread anti-Semitic propaganda and incite violence. Yet, despite this, the world condemns Israel for merely existing in its own capital.

The presence of the Zionist state on the Temple Mount and its interference with people is unacceptable. It is a persecution committed against Muslims in Masjid al-Aqsa. It is unacceptable for Zionists to pretend to be Jews and interfere with Muslims on the Temple Mount, while Jews are forbidden from going there. What the Zionists do is against the Torah and the Jewish religion. They do whatever they want in all Palestine and in Jerusalem. It is a great sin for any believing Jew to climb the Temple Mount, that is, the Masjid al-Aqsa. In our religion, Judaism, it is strictly forbidden for Jews to go to the temple mountain. JEWS can never be there and pray. Zionists and thief settlers are irreligious people who defy the Torah and break into the temple mountain by appearing to be Jews.
