  You’re joking right?
context: The guy went into a plaza. He didn’t burn anything, break anything, piss on anything… he walked into a plaza and a few moments later walked out. This is what drew criticism from dictatorships that regularly abuse, kill, imprison and oppress their own citizens.
  Not to mention the article conveniently leaves out the fact that Al Aqsa was built intentionally on the ruins of the Jewish holy site. Muslim conquests often did that in order to root out any other religion from the regions they’ve taken. >
  
  I went up there once. I was warned by Israeli police that I was not allowed to look like I was doing anything non-Muslim including wearing any religious garb or praying (of which I was doing neither either way). I don’t know how it’s a crime for a non-Muslim to visit what should be a world-heritage site and pray to whatever religion I fucking want, privately to myself, but the fact that this news is treated like Israel is the one doing some kind of human rights violation here is a fucking joke. By china, no less.
