The blocked hashtag is "#AlAqsa" written in Arabic, the third holiest mosque in Islam that Palestinian folks got stun-grenaded & tear-gassed at during their Ramadan prayer earlier today.
It's like blocking "#StatueOfLiberty" when police are brutalizing innocent people there.

I don't even have words for what is happening anymore. The cruelty on open display here is beyond words. People told to shush, finger on the mouth, when they object to the stranger in their family home, standing on the street in disbelief, all their possessions instantly gone.
Did you see this photo? It was taken by AFP on May 4th, showing a Palestinian man with a knee on the face, available to press everywhere.
It has not been used anywhere in the West as far as Image Search says. Instead, there's photos of burning cars and people throwing rocks.

Did you see this photo? It's the body of Said Yusuf Muhammad Oudeh, an innocent 16 year old boy shot in the back twice despite not doing anything. A kid trying to get to the dying Said was also shot but survived. The ambulance was blocked access for 15 minutes as Said bled out.
There will be an investigation by the Israeli military as to why the ambulance was denied access to the scene. The Israeli military will likely find no wrongdoing, and have already stated molotov cocktails were thrown by other kids earlier as a reason for shooting Said.
