Israel and Hamas

Allah does not forbid you, with regard to those who do not fight you on account of your religion nor drive you out of your homes, to treat them with goodness and to be just to them; truly, Allah loves those who are just. Indeed, Allah forbids you (only) with regard to those who fight you on account of religion and drive you out of your homes and assist (others) in driving you out, that you turn to them (in friendship); and whoever turns to them (in friendship), they are wrongdoers.

Quran 60:8-9.

The Holy Quran is very clear on the rules on dealing with non Muslims: fight those who fight you on account of religion or chase you away from your homes. Kindness to non Muslims is not forbidden and all non Muslims are not enemies of Islam as some terrorists would make one believe. In fact, certain non Muslims, Jews and Christians, are known as People of the Book, and possess a relationship of mercy and spiritual kinship with Muslims. So, the crisis between the Palestinian people and the Israelis contradicts Islamic tenets. There are two key issues that underlie a solution the crisis: did the Israelis chase the Palestinians out of their homes? Does the Israeli Government fight Muslims based on their religion or single out the criminal minded? The answer to these questions lies in the history of the conflict.

The 1917 Balfour Declaration drew out the preliminary conditions for the relocation of Jews back to the �Homeland� given centuries of anti-Semitic purges especially in Europe (the Spanish Inquisition , Portugal, England in 1290, France in 1306 and 1394, Belgium in 1370, Czechoslovakia in 1380, Russia in1510 etc).The Western world was forced to take action after the Second World War in which an estimated six million Jews were killed by Nazi Germany in a xenophobic massacre known as the Holocaust. The British Government was in charge in the Palestinian territory under trusteeship and was under pressure to arrange the return of the Jews, who were frightened and in danger of further attacks from escapee Nazi Officials. The Arab community under King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, had an agreement with Britain with a guarantee of independence for Arab territories previously under Turkish rule. The Arabs refused to share the land and objected to the migration while Jewish terrorists attacked the British Army, who were war weary. This led to the exit of Britain from the peace process and the commencement of hostilities between Jews and Arabs; culminating a six day war (known as the Yom Kippur war) which the Jews won. Some Arabs left the Israeli territory for the area known as Palestine and others remained as Israeli Arabs

The Arabs themselves were not united and quickly divided themselves into parties such Hamas and Fatah. These parties waged war on each other and against Israel thereby making the chances for peace increasingly distant. The Israelis, on their part, violated the human rights of the Palestinians; enclosing them in a wired wall like dogs and without the freedom of movement and association which are fundamental human rights guaranteed by the United Nations. This offended the sensibilities of many Arabs and many non Muslims while swelling the ranks of their enemies. To make matters worse, they labeled terrorists "Islamic fundamentalists" or "jihadists" thereby glorifying them and justifying their cause. All sides appeared to be engaged in wrongdoing and praising themselves for it.

All attempts to reconcile the parties ended in failure because of the lack of knowledge of the negotiators. First, the Arab community should have been reminded that suicide is not Islamic but leads to hell that is further than a forty years scent.This reminds one of the Quranic scripture Surat al Maida(The Table) verse 8 which says "... and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from Justice.Bet Just:that is next to piety" Also, psychiatrists would testify to a competent Shura (council of Muslim leaders) that suicide is a mental disorder which is not an attribute of the Mujahideen. Forming parties is forbidden by the Holy Quran (Surat al Anam verse 159 which says:"As for those who divide their religion and breakup into sects thou hast no part in them in the least:their affair is with God:He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did") and the quarrel between Muslim brothers is as a result of the bells of Shaytan the rejected (Satan) ringing in order to destroy the faith in the hearts of Muslims. This would have stopped attacks ages ago and prevented the human rights violations.

Compulsory cradle to grave with industrial schools and cooperative education using online jobs, multiple income stream, business cloning, shift system, model business plans and integrated business management should develop the educational system in Israel and eliminates the poverty which the hatred thrives on.

The Israeli Government must take serious actions to protect its existence. The First action would be the expulsion of pagans, atheists, Satanists (Fake Jews) etc; leaving only the three major religions: Christianity, Islam and Judaism as the only religions in Israel. Property and funds recovered from such groups should be handed over the Muslims as war bounty. This fulfills a prophecy in the Holy Quran that in the end times, the People of the Book and Muslims will unite against unbelief. The religious laws and the Fundamental International laws should form the Israeli constitution which would be based on Confederal, Consociational Democracy with revolving roles and a permanent unity Government. The acceptance of the two state solution by the Israeli Government is a step in the right direction.

Islamophobia must be banned and a dhimmies status should be assigned to the People of the Book resident in Israel.For all Muslims,let it be known that Surat al A'raf (The Heights) verse 61 says "...but if the enemy incline towards peace,do thou (also) incline towards peace,and trust in God:for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all things".Also,"Allah calls for an abode of Peace".The application of these methods will lead to peace in the Holy land, the land of Peace.
