Iranian here with another pro tip for anyone who’s not from the Middle East.

If the so-called "Palestinians" were there first, why is their mosque built on top of the Second Temple of Jerusalem?

Over 1000 years before Islam was invented, Cyrus the Great actually freed the Jews from their Babylonian enslavement. He took them back to the Promised Land and he helped them rebuild the Second Temple of Jerusalem.

And yet there are still people out there who want to try and gaslight you into thinking that Israel never belonged to the Jewish people.

So the next time someone tries to tell you that Jewish people are not indigenous to Israel, just ask them why the mosque is built on top of the Second Temple of Jerusalem.

And now you know.

The Western Wall (sometimes called the "Wailing Wall") is literally a remnant of the Second Temple.

The fall of the Temple precipitated the city's total collapse by September 70 CE, with Romans systematically razing structures except for the western retaining wall (later known as the Wailing Wall) and parts of Herod's platform, as Titus sought to leave a monumental ruin as a deterrent.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is the primary congregational mosque situated along the southern wall of the Haram al-Sharif, or Temple Mount, an elevated platform in Jerusalem's Old City that encompasses approximately one-sixth of the area. The platform, expanded by Herod the Great in the 1st century BCE, served as the location of the ancient Jewish First Temple, constructed by Solomon around 957 BCE and destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, and the Second Temple, rebuilt around 516 BCE and expanded before its destruction by the Romans in 70 CE, as evidenced by archaeological artifacts including Temple-period pottery, seals, and ritual items recovered from soil excavated from the site.

"Palestinians" are Arab colonizers.
