In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Allah, The Exalted, said:
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Woe to Al-Mutaffifin [those who give less in measure and weight (decrease the rights of others)], those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure, and when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due. Think they not that they will be resurrected (for reckoning), on a Great Day, the Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)? [Al-Mutaffifeen. 1-7]
[وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ – and when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due].
Imam As-Sadi, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:
This noble verse shows that just as a person takes from the people what he is entitled to, it is also obligated to him to give them everything they are entitled to – whether related to wealth or mutual dealings; rather included in the generality of this verse are proofs and statements, because what usually takes place between those engaged in argumentation and discussion is that each of them is eager to establish his proofs, thus, it is obligated to a person to also make known the proofs possessed by the other person and examine the proofs of the other person just as he examines his own proofs. In relation to this affair, the justice of a person is known as opposed to whether he is afflicted with bigotry, his humility as opposed to being haughty, his common sense as opposed to foolish behaviour. We ask Allah bestow on us every good. [Tafsir As-Sadi]
In the aforementioned statement by Imam As-Sadi, may Allah have mercy upon him, he highlighted that those who are deemed guilty of giving insufficient weight in measurement include individuals who disregard others during disputes and do not wish for others to be acknowledged in the way they prefer to be acknowledged. In this article, we will strive to address the viewpoints of Gil Troy, a proponent of Zionism. We will make every effort to ensure fairness in this discourse and beseech Allah to forgive our deficiencies, both in instances where we ought to be more assertive against Gil and in those where we should exercise greater fairness.
Gil said: “The media’s war on Israel: The lies, the bias, and the real story – opinion”. [end of quote]
Our response: The Zionist media’s war on truth: The lies, the bias and the real story twisted to carry on with genocide – opinion.
Gil said: “Clearly, the mass media’s Massive Israeli Beat-Down is irresponsible and inflammatory. Journalists parrot propagandists, treating Hamas’s perjurious Ministry of Health as the Ministry of Truth. These shameless liars count 8,000 natural deaths and 23,000-plus terrorist deaths as innocent civilian casualties”. [end of quote]
Our response: Without a doubt, the violent actions of Netanyahu’s genocidal army are depicted in a way that downplays the barbarism they truly represent, as some in the Zionist media would have it. This portrayal is not only reckless but also highly irresponsible. Numerous Zionist journalists repeat the phrases of propagandists, framing the IDF and Netanyahu’s misleading statements as if they were the truth. These unscrupulous individuals categorize thousands of deliberate killings as simple accidents and countless civilian deaths as collateral damage, despite the fact that Netanyahu and certain members of his close Zionist circle openly employ genocidal language, and their forces act accordingly. Read below:
Highly abridged account of over 70 years of Palestinian Suffering-Reminder to Steven Drucker
Hamas’s actions against unarmed civilians and non-combatants on October 7th are indefensible; however, Netanyahu and his accomplices in these genocidal acts warrant an even more severe condemnation and must be held accountable for their deeds.
Gil said: “Panicking, terrorists shoot hungry Gazans to undermine long-overdue Israeli efforts to stop Hamas from hijacking aid, yet the media claims Israel massacred Palestinians. Then reporters romanticize illegal assaults on Israel’s legal naval blockade. The Washington Post hails Greta Thunberg’s “humanitarian boat.” There are row-boats, motor-boats – who knew boats had souls?” [end of quote]
Our response: Netanyahu’s merciless and genocidal forces inflict starvation upon Palestinians, set children ablaze, and murder journalists, healthcare workers, aid personnel, educators, and countless others, all while asserting that they represent the most ethical military. Meanwhile, certain Zionist journalists romanticize unlawful attacks on Palestinian rights, framing them as acts of self-determination, self-defense, and essential survival. Zionist war criminals have been observed flaunting Palestinian possessions, as some in the Zionist media conveniently ignore the reality, incessantly proclaiming, “We have a right to defend ourselves.” Yet, what the world witnesses are lifeless children and innocent men and women, starved and brutalised by an army cloaked in the guise of self-defense, deceitfully wielding the anti-Semitism narrative against any organisation or notable figure that calls for an end to their atrocious genocidal conduct.
Gil said: “Meanwhile, despite obsessive saturation coverage, the media neglects major stories. Even most Israel supporters don’t know that Israelis have scrambled for shelter 38,441 times since October 7. Or that Palestinians subsequently launched 9,096 “significant” terrorist attacks outside Gaza”. [end of quote]
Our response: In addition to obsessive denial, some in the Zionist press turn a blind eye to the numerous witnesses around the world regarding the atrocities committed by Netanyahu’s Zionist army. Even many supporters of Palestine are unaware of the exact number of Palestinians who have perished, how many remain buried beneath the debris, or the actions perpetrated by Netanyahu’s ruthless military in conjunction with Zionist settlers through their acts of terrorism within the occupied territories.
Gil said: Few noticed that Eli Sharabi, Hamas’s hostage for 491 days – and a Netanyahu critic – reported that his tormentors “cried almost every day. They cried into their mattresses and their pillows. They’re frustrated, they’re in despair. They can’t believe their worst nightmare – that this war should go on for such a long time.” Hmm. I thought Hamas is winning and Israel is stuck. [end of quote]
Our response: It is apparent to all that Netanyahu’s ruthless military is no longer genuinely engaged in combat against Hamas; instead, their true intention is to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza. This has led to a profound sense of frustration and despair, as their current agenda is widely recognised. They are unable to fathom that their worst fears have come to fruition, with their purported self-defense being laid bare as an insatiable and fervent wish to displace Palestinians from their homeland. How ironic. Is Netanyahu the compassionate figure, while the Palestinians are the beasts, as suggested by some of his closest associates?! Yet, the brutal and primal conduct of his Zionists military is as unmistakable as the sun at noon. Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3-cWyFcK5w
Gil stated regarding the media: “BY VIOLATING their professional standards, reporters helped inspire “Free Palestine” Jew-hunting from Washington, DC to Boulder, from Melbourne to Marseilles”. [end of quote]
Our response: By breaching their professional ethics, some Zionist journalists contribute to the incitement of genocidal rhetoric from Netanyahu and other Zionist offenders. Regarding the targeting of unarmed civilians and non-combatants, as well as acts of vandalism and hate crimes against Jews or any other groups, no rational individual would endorse such behavior, irrespective of the justification provided. No anti-Zionist journalist or pro-Palestinian advocate can overlook these offenses when it is evident that they have disregarded such transgressions; however, it is indisputable that the atrocities perpetrated by successive Zionist governments since 1948, along with the latest violence inflicted by the Netanyahu administration, are unparalleled in recent times. The only suffering that might be likened to this is the oppression endured by the Rohingya. Regardless of Zionist atrocities since 1948, anti-semitism is unlawful. Read:

Gil said: A vacuum of Israeli public diplomacy
Still, there’s a public diplomacy vacuum here. Israel’s government needs an intervention from those of us who have celebrated Israel and Zionism for years. We understand what works, and what doesn’t, with reporters, students, and voters worldwide. For starters, note the word “celebrate.” “Israel advocacy” assumes Israel needs defense attorneys. Pilates teaches “strengthen your core!” Celebrating Israel and Zionism cultivates the resilience that Jews and liberal democrats need so they can refute the lies that Hamas fabricates faster than it produces Kassam rockets. [end of quote]
Our response: Still there’s a public diplomacy vacuum here. The humane governments need an intervention from those who have advocated Palestinian rights and denounce Zionist transgression for years. They are acquainted with the history of Zionism and their corrupt agendas, as well as their historical barkers. Read:
The Initial Rise and Gradual Impact of Christian Zionism on Some European Political Decision-makers
An Overview of Christian Zionism in America Since the Arrival of The Puritans
American Christian Zionists’ Media Initiatives Aimed at Influencing Public Opinion, With a Brief Mention of The Concept of Greater Israel
To begin with, it is important to highlight the term “celebrate”. The phrase “Palestinian advocacy” implies that Palestine requires nations to take immediate action against the Zionists. By celebrating Palestinian rights and strongly condemning Netanyahu’s administration, we foster the moral clarity essential for all civilised nations, enabling a more rapid rebuttal of the falsehoods propagated by Netanyahu and his henchmen, who continue to kill civilians and exploit the anti-Semitism narrative daily, all while enjoying impunity and engaging in cover-ups.
Gil said: “We need facts and narratives. The statistics cited above come from the invaluable, but largely unknown, Institute for National Security Studies war “tracker.” The Jewish People Policy Institute has distributed tens of thousands of my Essential Guide to October 7 in English, French, and now in Hebrew, because many supporters and undecideds seek balance and context. Admittedly, anyone concerned about Israel’s image faces the Jew-hater’s paradox. Anti-semites make the job feel hopeless – but if we lose hope, they win. No argument will eliminate Jew-hatred. This super-virus resists facts while poisoning minds. But we can’t stop spreading the truth and fighting the thought-pollution”. [end of quote]
Our response: We require both facts and narratives. The statistics presented by the Zionists are inherently untrustworthy, as they have been deceptive for more than 70 years. It is true that anyone who cares about the welfare of Palestine is familiar with the victim mentality that is consistently exhibited by Netanyahu and other Zionists, even as they perpetrate atrocities or willfully ignore them. These individuals contribute to a sense of despair, yet we must not abandon hope; we shall prevail. No argument can dispel Netanyahu’s supremacist ideologies towards Palestinians and his grotesque sense of entitlement. This chronic and fatal disease disregards facts while corrupting minds. Nevertheless, we must continue to disseminate the truth and combat the pollution of thought propagated by Netanyahu’s Zionism.
Gil said: “Hamas’s October 7 mega-atrocities in Israel proved that millions – billions! – hate Jews even when the enemy rampages. No public diplomacy campaign will sway them. Their pigheadedness, however, doesn’t justify saying, “They hate us, so let’s not bother defending ourselves.” And it certainly doesn’t justify leaders ranting about “erasing” Gaza in ways that undermine Israel’s moral standing”. [end of quote]
Our response: Netanyahu’s actions, carried out under the guise of retaliation and self-defense, have shown that millions—indeed billions—recognize the horrific deeds that Netanyahu and his associates are capable of committing. No level of public diplomacy will sway Netanyahu. However, Netanyahu’s stubbornness does not justify the statement, “They hold extreme hostility towards the Palestinians, so what can we do?” Moreover, it certainly does not support the assertion that Zionists have the right to defend themselves in a way that allows them to continue their genocidal actions, nor does it lend any credence to their claim of being the world’s most moral army.
Gil said: “Also, beware the Israel Indignation Industry, which overreacts any time Israel is criticized. Israel’s justified war remains complicated. In a three-dimensional urban battlefield, Israel’s military occasionally kills civilians unintentionally. Don’t claim Israel is perfect, given these perfectly awful conditions. Admit mistakes when made, while explaining the broader war aims, articulating “Just War Theory,” which justifies Israel’s war after a massive attack, and detailing Israel’s unprecedented attempts to minimize civilian casualties. Law professor Thane Rosenbaum, in his book, Beyond Proportionality: Israel’s Just War in Gaza, explains: In international law, “proportionality” doesn’t mean matching your casualties to the enemy’s. Proportionality asks: Are your military’s targets legitimate military targets?” [end of quote]
Our response: Be cautious of the Palestinian indignation industry, which tends to deny any exposure of Netanyahu’s brutal Zionist forces. The unjust actions and war crimes committed by Netanyahu stand as one of the most immoral acts in recent history. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if they assert that they do not claim perfection or label their actions as mistakes; the genocidal rhetoric is unmistakable. As for this law professor, we can assist him shred the papers of his research because we have the Sunnah of the final prophet, which serves as an infallible reference for all facets of life, including matters of war and conflict.
Gil said: So I conclude: When Hamas still hides command centers under hospitals – including the European Hospital in Khan Yunis – they’ve made civilian sites proper targets. MOST IMPORTANTLY, pivot. Hearts and minds aren’t won on defense. Israel – and everyone else – should make four essential, positive, arguments. Four Israeli arguments to win hearts and minds: First, Israel is defending America and the West, too. Future historians will place this war at the intersection of three global conflicts. October 7 was another searing date in the century-long Arab war to remove Jews from Palestine. Their “historicide” – denying our history – rationalizes waves of attacks, now led by Palestinian movements rejecting Israel’s legitimacy. [end of quote]
Our response: In conclusion, we observe that as Netanyahu’s Zionist death squad and continue to kill, maim, starve, and seize land for more than 70 years, they have established themselves as one of the most brutal and inhumane military forces in modern history. Arguments made by Netanyahu or his ilk will never resonate with rational individuals, as it is impossible for genocidal maniacs to persuade us of their virtue. We do not dispute your authentic historical narratives or your right to exist; instead, what reasonable people question are your fabrications and unfounded assertions of ownership and superiority.

The Promised Land: A Brief Examination from a Religious and Historical Perspective
A Brief Discussion on the Attribution to the Offspring of Prophet Yaqub In Our Era
Gil said: Palestinians’ war against Israel also advances an anti-Western global jihad to expand Muslim influence. A French think-tank, Fondapol, cataloged 66,872 Islamist terrorist attacks between 1979 and April 2024 – including 9/11 – murdering 249,941 people. Finally, the Iranian mullahs bankroll these terrorists as part of Iran’s broader alliance of evil with Russia, China, and North Korea, opposing democracy. This long, messy war tests and teaches America and the West. Condemning Israel’s self-defense efforts exposes the West’s weakened defense posture. Growing Western intolerance for war’s bloodiness and chaos reveals that few have served in the military, while many prefer deluding themselves. Defending democracy, and your life, occasionally requires toughness. We collectively must be willing to risk killing by mistake to eliminate those trying to kill us on purpose. [end of quote]
Our response: The Palestinian fight against Zionist oppression since 1948 was not initially linked to Jihadism. Although Jihadist terrorists instill fear in everyone, including Muslim governments, the current discussion centers on how the violence and impunity of successive Zionist administrations foster further violence. This environment allows dubious Jihadists to seize the narrative and distort the genuine Palestinian cause. Just as many Zionists exploit the Holocaust, anti-Semitism, and hatred towards Jews to bolster their unfounded claims of supremacy and ownership of Palestinian land, Jihadists similarly co-opt the true Palestinian struggle to advance their misleading agendas of bloodshed and chaos under the guise of religion. Violence begets violence, plain and simple. This is an undeniable truth, regardless of what this French think tank—more aptly described as an intellectual fraud—may believe.
Regarding the Iranian mullahs, their path was established by Abdullah Bin Sabah, a well known trouble maker who was a Jew from Yemen. He masqueraded as a Muslim to create a heretical sect known as the Saba’iyyah, which is currently referred to as the Rafidah, with the majority of its followers residing in Iran. Read below:

Regarding your concerns with Russia and China, it would be prudent to confront them directly. You have entangled the West and persist in dragging them into your conflicts. Restrain Netanyahu to stop this genocide as well as halt the appropriation of land. This protracted and chaotic war illustrates that many American ideologues are merely a collection of sycophants to the Zionists. Condemning Zionists or any other group of wrongdoers does not reveal any weakness in other nations. An increasing intolerance for war is commendable, especially when the conflict is as excessive as this one being waged by Netanyahu under the guise of self-defense. Therefore, abstaining from military service is justified if it is solely to oppose transgression or is utilised for such purposes; to think otherwise is to embrace illusion itself. You are simply upholding Zionist self-importance and hubris, and nothing more. So called accidental killings are a part of Netanyahu’s ideology, rather, some Zionists have embraced the Hannibal doctrine.
Gil said: Fortunately, America’s investment in Israel keeps paying dividends. While degrading Hamas, crushing Hezbollah, weakening Iran, and thus triggering Bashar Assad’s collapse in Syria, Israel has pioneered medical advances, technological breakthroughs, and tactical innovations on the battlefield. Israel’s improvisations, from bullet-removing robots to pineapple-protein burn gels, to humanoid prosthetics, will protect thousands of soldiers and save millions of civilians in hospitals worldwide, for decades to come. Finally, by vindicating Zionism, this war advertises Jewish nationalism as a model form of liberal-democratic nationalism. In an age filled with books about “How Democracies Die,” Israel’s young generation of everyday superheroes demonstrates how to defend democracy – and build yourself up by being rooted in tradition, embraced by community, and committed to your country. This is the song we should be singing, led by the government if possible, but crooned by the people always, because it’s necessary – and true. [end of quote]
Our response: American ideologues, demagogues, rabble-rousers, and heretical evangelists—not the American populace at large—are the ones who invest in Netanyahu and his associates. This initiative is not aimed at diminishing or undermining Hamas; instead, it represents a coalition rooted in historical oppression, founded upon distorted and abrogated scriptures. Read below:

Regarding your progress on the battlefield and in various other domains, you are neither the first to attain such feats nor will you be the last. Your military prowess is wielded against the vulnerable—women and children—and that is hardly a source of pride. Allah said:
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا فَنَقَّبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ هَلْ مِن مَّحِيصٍ
And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were more severe in (fighting) power than them. They traversed the lands (in conquest and settlement). (But) was there any place of refuge (when the punishment of Allāh came)? https://www.thenoblequran.com/q/#/search/50_36
Allah said:
أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ كَانُوٓا۟ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَثَارُوا۟ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَعَمَرُوهَآ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا وَجَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ فَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
Do they not travel in the land, and see what was the end of those before them? They were superior to them in strength, and they tilled the earth and populated it in greater numbers than these (pagans) have done, and there came to them their Messengers with clear proofs. Surely, Allah wronged them not, but they used to wrong themselves. [Q: 30:9]
Allah said:
أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَكَانُوٓا۟ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعْجِزَهُۥ مِن شَىْءٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَلِيمًا قَدِيرًا
Have they not travelled in the land, and seen what was the end of those before them, and they were superior to them in power? Allah is not such that anything in the heavens or in the earth escapes Him. Verily, He is All-Knowing, All-Omnipotent. [Q: 35:44]
Neither Netanyahu nor his Zionist accomplices can ever find justification for their actions, nor can they serve as an example for any rational and civilized society. Since 1948, Zionism has revealed its true nature and malevolent essence, and this recent conflict is merely a continuation of the atrocities that have persisted since that year.
We ask Allah:
رَبَّنَا لَا تَجۡعَلۡنَا فِتۡنَةً۬ لِّلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحۡمَتِكَ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
Our Lord! Make us not a trial for the folk who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoing). And save us by Your Mercy from the disbelieving folk.
