Occupied Jerusalem -

The uproar caused by the arrival of 5 red cows to Israel in late 2022 is still reverberating since the Israeli Channel 12 revealed that they were placed on a secret farm immediately after their arrival from the American state of Texas in preparation for their slaughter, burning, and scattering their ashes to “purify” the Jews and allow them free entry to... The Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is the most that extremist Temple groups hope to achieve in the first two qiblahs in occupied Jerusalem.

The idea of ​​the red cow - according to Abdullah Marouf, professor of Jerusalem studies at Istanbul University on May 29 and former media and public relations officer at Al-Aqsa Mosque - goes back to the texts of the Mishnah (explanations of the Torah), which is part of the book of the Talmud.

The idea is summed up in the necessity of the appearance of a pure red cow that does not have two hairs of another color, that has never been used for any service work, that no rope was placed around its neck, that it was raised in the Land of Israel, and that when it reaches two years of age it can be used in a purification process that must take place on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, opposite Al-Aqsa Mosque, where it is slaughtered and then burned ritually and in a special way, and its ashes are used in the process of “purifying the Jewish people.”

After completing this religious ritual - at the end of which the fatwa prohibiting Jews from entering the mosque adopted by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel will be cancelled, due to the presence of the impurity of the dead that prevents them from entering the place according to the Jewish faith - the people will be able to ascend to the temple (Al-Aqsa Mosque) after it has become pure.

The time for slaughter has come

After confirming that the red cow must be slaughtered after it enters the third year of its life - which was achieved - the academic Marouf explained that the new thing that must be paid attention to is what was revealed in Jewish law that the cow must be slaughtered on a specific day of the year, which is the second of April. /Nisan in Hebrew, which will fall on April 10 next year, which will most likely fall on the first day of Eid al-Fitr.

Al Jazeera Net first asked Marouf whether this religious ritual would include the slaughter of five cows or one red cow. He replied that the slaughter process would most likely include one cow, because the appearance of a red cow identical to the sacred Jewish texts is considered a rare matter nowadays, and although preparations have been made 5 cows for this dangerous weather, the slaughter will not include all of them.

If this is implemented, the speaker believes that the confrontation with the occupation will move to a completely new level.

Red cows, Abu Ubaida mentioned one of them in a speech, pointing out that it is the cow that the temple groups seek to slaughter, burn, and scatter its ashes on the Jews to purify them and enter Al-Aqsa Mosque. In his article, Dr. Abdullah Marouf talks about the date of its slaughter, its number, and the symbolism of each of them to extremist Jewish groups.

what's new?

Marouf said that if the extremist groups were able to implement what they are thinking and planning by performing a purification ritual by slaughtering a red cow, the confrontation will move to a completely different level, because carrying out the purification process will open the way from a religious standpoint to cancel the Chief Rabbinate’s fatwa prohibiting Jews from entering the temple area. According to her vision.

Therefore, this means that the number of those who will be encouraged to join extremist groups in the storming of Al-Aqsa will multiply from 4 to 10 times, and if the extremists have not yet been able to mobilize more than 2,200 settlers to storm the mosque in one day, they will be able to gather between 10 and 20 thousand. settler per day.

“Here is the main source of danger in Al-Aqsa, due to which we may witness confrontations on a much broader level between Muslims and settlers immediately after the cancellation of the fatwa of the Chief Rabbinate in Israel prohibiting Jews from going up to the temple in accordance with their beliefs,” according to Marouf.

Regarding what it means for the implementation of this dangerous religious ritual to coincide with the Israeli war on Gaza, Marouf stressed that the relationship of this event to the war cannot be overlooked, as the extremist Temple groups, which represent the pinnacle of the extremist Kahanist messianic movement in the occupying state, actually control the state, and they are the ones who manage the affairs of the war and are one of them. The most important reasons for its continuation.

Government compliance

Marouf added that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is completely obedient to the will of the religious Zionist movement to which these extremist groups belong, which see that one of the most important manifestations of the victory they seek in this war is to tighten control over Al-Aqsa in response to the Palestinian resistance, which launched its operation under the name of Al-Aqsa and under the slogan of defending it. And maintain it.

The issue of implementation and its timing remains related to the ongoing debate in Israel between those in the security services who do not hide their fear of the recklessness of these right-wing groups and their attempts to drag the region into a religious war, and the religious Zionist movement, which controls important ministries, led by the Ministries of National Security - which controls the police force, led by Minister Itamar Ben Gvir - and the Finance Ministry, which is led by Bezalel Smotrich, is one of the most important pillars of the parties calling for this ritual, as he is committed to the rabbinate’s decision to prohibit storming Al-Aqsa at the present time.

Academic Marouf concluded his speech to Al Jazeera Net by saying that these groups believe that it is in their interest to declare their victory in this war from Al-Aqsa, and Israel, with its current right-wing government, is completely behind it, and therefore the issue will not be related to the occupation authorities allowing the implementation of this ritual or preventing it, but rather to the reaction of the Palestinian people. And the Arab and Islamic worlds towards it.

Reactions are the only thing that can tip the balance in favor of one of the two sides in Israel, whether the trend represented by the intelligence services that fear approaching Al-Aqsa in an effort to avoid spreading the battle to much wider areas, or the trend represented by the police that wants to expand the battle and turn it into a religious direction in an effort to implement the vision. Salvation.
