What is happening in Jerusalem?

That depends again, unfortunately, on your chosen echo chamber.  

There is this on the one hand, blatant misreporting by NYPost:

On the other hand, yes, there is indeed a contingent that makes it out like an outright massacre by Israel of Palestine and ignores that Hamas started with the rocket launches. As Trump once said, "What you think you're so innocent?" 

As I said in my earlier comment, if everyone is busy blaming each other, it does mean everybody is to blame.  And as Guldbamsen put it, an individual or collective sense of ego seems to get in the way of acknowledging faults on one's own side before that of others.  I do appreciate that you started out by mentioning where Israel erred.  This is sadly the spirit that is missing in most quarters or at least the most vociferous ones (which dominate the discourse).

in the 2020 Freedom of Press Index Israel ranked 86th of 177 countries.

for comparison: the USA ranked 46th, Germany ranked 13th. the top 4 were Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark

The attack of the impotent Turks. 

I don't really give a damn about what you think, however I do know where Turkey is. A simple WIKI look up will suffice:

But this kind of definition of Middle East is useless for Asians.  We usually refer to the Gulf states (plus Iraq and Iran) when we say Middle East.  Kazhak/Afghanistan/Turkmenistan is Central Asia.   Morocco/Egypt are the mediterranean states while Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia fall in Eurasia.  Pakistan and Bangladesh along with India are part of South Asia or the Indian subcontinent however defined (I prefer South Asia as it is broader and includes countries like Myanmar). And the reason for doing so is that these regions are all culturally different.  You will not find Mughal architecture anywhere in the Gulf, for instance (unless somebody decided to copy it and build a 20th century tribute to decadence). Likewise, the typical layout of mosques seen in the Gulf is absent in Pakistan or India (which as everyone knows or should know was just one country prior to 1947). Pakistanis write in Urdu but not Arabic and while Urdu script is radically different from Hindi, spoken Urdu sounds almost exactly the same. Any definition of Middle East that includes Pakistan or even Afghanistan makes no sense to me.  

You may say that is just my opinion but these definitions sound suspiciously Westernized to me.  It may be more convenient from a Western perspective to just lump all these countries in one basket.  But that does not impose any obligation on others to see it the same way nor does it make us 'wrong' if we disagree.  I don't doubt that you know the history of Levant inside out.  But the definition of Middle East you have cited is nevertheless too broad. 

This is a pretty ignorant comment and shows you know basically nothing about the conflict. I mean sure there's a tribal element, but 5000 years? Judaism as a religion isn't even that old! Are you not aware that Jews regularly lived in Isalmic lands peacefully? Are you not aware that the Arab and Jewish self-determination movements that precipitated the conflict in the early 20th century were largely secular and socialist? Maybe read a book or two before embarrassing yourself on the internet. 

You are obviously very ignorant of both Nazi history and Israeli history.
