In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah, The Exalted, said:

مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا

If anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land – it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. [Al-Ma’idah. 32]

Imam As-Sadi, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

If a person is bold enough to kill someone who does not deserve to be killed, this implies that he does make a distinction between the one he killed and other than him; rather he would commit this act whenever his evil calls him to that. Therefore, his bold attitude that led him to kill is as if he has killed all humankind. On the other hand, if a person saves a life and does not kill – whilst his soul calls him to do so – due to fear of Allah, this is as if he has saved the lives of all humankind because the fear of Allah he possesses stops him killing one who does not deserve to be killed. [1]

Jane stated: “Israel is not a political issue; Israel is a Biblical issue – because this is God’s nation, and the Jewish people are His people”. [end of quote]

Response: The pious among the Children of Israel, as mentioned in the unadulterated Torah and Injeel, are recognized. Therefore, the reference to the Children of Israel in these scriptures pertains to a Biblical context rather than Zionism, as noble Musa and other Prophets of Bani Israel were not Zionists. Furthermore, we are all servants of Allah, and any nation that adheres to the sound teachings of His Prophets and Messengers honoured in His Sight. However, those who reject the message after the arrival of any Prophet or Messenger cannot be His chosen nation. A significant portion of Bani Israel turned away from the noble Prophet Eesa and the final Prophet, Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, along with all the other Prophets.

Regarding the statement that Israel is not a political matter, it seems that Jane may either be discussing modern politics and Zionism or referring to the unaltered teachings of the Torah and Injeel as practiced by the noble Prophets of Bani Israel. If her focus is on current events and what is termed the state of Israel, it is clear that its foundation is built upon misinterpreted texts and the principles of Zionism. Conversely, if she is alluding to the guidance of the ancient Prophets of Bani Israel, it is evident that their leadership and guidance was rooted in piety across all aspects of life. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “Bani Isra’eel used to be ruled and guided by prophets. Whenever a prophet died, another would take over his place. There will be no prophet after me, but there will be Caliphs who will increase in number.” The people asked, “O Allah’s Messenger! What do you order us (to do)?” He said, “Obey the one who will be given the pledge of allegiance first. Fulfil their (i.e. the Caliphs) rights, for Allah will ask them about (any shortcoming) in ruling those Allah has put under their guardianship.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari 3455]

Imam Ibn Hajr, may Allah have mercy upon him, said, “Whenever corruption appeared amongst them, Allah sent a Prophet to rectify their affairs and put an end to that which they changed in the rulings of the Torah”. [2]

Jane stated: Whether you are living in Finland, Venezuela, Belgium, America, Argentina or Japan – it doesn’t matter where you’re living; there is not one person or family who goes through life without extreme hardship, pain and trauma. Whether it’s an ugly divorce, being sick with cancer, betrayal, bankruptcy, accident, major surgery, the loss of a child, the loss of a loved one, abuse or rape, whatever it is, people are suffering the same in Israel. [end of quote]

Response: No matter our location, we all encounter life’s challenges and shifts in circumstances. For over seventy years, Palestinians have endured profound suffering. This acknowledgment does not diminish the pain experienced by others, whether Jewish or non-Jewish. However, it is undeniable that since the conclusion of the Second World War, no group has faced greater hardship and adversity than the Palestinians under successive Zionist administrations.

Jane stated: Whatever hardship you are going through that is breaking you to the core and has you weeping on the floor or not being able to get out of bed – whether you are living in Australia or Norway, no matter what you can possibly go through of horrific things in your life, we all suffer in some manner. It is a common denominator of our mortality on this earth. [end of quote]

Response: This statement holds true universally, yet no group has faced greater oppression and brutality since the Second World War than the Palestinians, subjected to the actions of successive Zionist administrations.

Jane stated: Now imagine, on top of whatever hardship you are going through anywhere around the world, you are being told by the whole world that you are “illegally occupying” your homeland. [end of quote]

Response: This above statement aligns perfectly with our expectations as Jane began to weave her narrative. The land is not the eternal possession of either the Zionists or Bani Israel. Read below:
https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2024/11/20/the-promised-land-a-brief-examination-from-a-religious-and-historical-perspective/

Jane stated: You are occupying someone else’s “country” that actually is non-existent – geopolitical fiction, actually, and for that fictional reason, it’s okay to murder you. For that same reason, you, your child, wife, or husband are brutally butchered in your home, run down while waiting at a bus stop, murdered in front of a supermarket, or shot while sitting on a bus. [end of quote]

Response: You are occupying territory that was previously home to inhabitants long before the noble Yusha Bin Nun, peace be upon him, arrived with a group of the upright believers, not the Zionists. This land is not imaginary or nonexistent; it is a tangible reality. Please take a moment to read the information below once more: https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2024/11/20/the-promised-land-a-brief-examination-from-a-religious-and-historical-perspective/

The act of murdering non-combatants and unarmed civilians, irrespective of the location or the identity of the perpetrator—be they Muslim, Jew, or Christian—has been unequivocally denounced in the verse we referenced, along with its interpretation by Imam As-Sadi at the outset of this brief article.

Jane stated: The worst things people can experience happen to Israeli civilians – but why? The most horrific terror attacks that you can possibly imagine continue to happen – buses and cafes are being blown up, people are being stoned as they drive in their vehicles – which has just happened three days in a row, and a toddler was actually injured here in Israel. Countless thousands and thousands of rockets, missiles, and drones are flying into Israel as her enemies continue their efforts to murder you and anyone else who calls Israel their home. [end of quote]

Response: Violence begets violence, and malevolence fosters more malevolence. The actions of the Zionists have devastated Gaza, leaving it in ruins and resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands under the guise of retaliation and self-defense—an assertion that no rational individual can endorse. This cycle of aggression is bound to escalate, tragically impacting innocent lives who bear the brunt of the horrors inflicted by Hamas on civilians and non-combatants on October 7th, as well as the disproportionate response from the Zionists. Furthermore, this is compounded by their ongoing land appropriation and brutality towards the Palestinians over the past seven decades. We once again share the poignant statement from Prince Turki Al-Faisal, may Allah protect him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3-cWyFcK5w

Furthermore, allow me to present a glimpse into the historical context of Zionist violence:

The Deir Yassin Massacre: Took place on April 9, 1948, near Jerusalem, during which between 107 to 254 Palestinians were massacred at the hands of the extremist “Stern” gang.

The Nasr al-Din Massacre: Took place in April 1948. Al-Lajjun Massacre: Took place on April 13, 1948, in a Palestinian Arab village in the Jenin District, where the Zionist Haganah gang attacked it and killed 13 people.

The Saliha Massacre: Took place in May 1948, during which 75 Palestinians were massacred.

The Abu Shusha Massacre: Took place on May 14, 1948, near the village of Deir Yassin, and claimed the lives of (50) citizens, including women, men, children, and the elderly.

The Beit Daras Massacre: Took place in northeastern Gaza on May 21, 1948.

The Tantura Massacre: Took place on May 22, 1948, in the occupied city of Haifa, and claimed the lives of about (200) Palestinians.

The Lydda Massacre: Took place on July 12, 1948, in the occupied city of Lydda, and resulted in the massacre of about (500) Palestinians, including (150) who were massacred inside the city’s Grand Mosque. The Zionists threw many of them alive into the town’s wells.

The Dawayima Massacre: Took place on October 29, 1948, when a battalion from the terrorist “Lehi” organization led by Moshe Dayan attacked the village and then began searching homes and shooting at its residents. Entire families were exterminated in the massacre, which resulted in the killing of 200 men, women, and children.

The Zionist massacres did not stop after the Nakba of 1948, but rather their frequency, intensity, and brutality increased in light of the use of more lethal and destructive weapons. Among the most prominent of these massacres were: The Sharafat Massacre, which took place in February 1951, in which 11 Palestinians were massacred, and the rest of the village’s people were displaced. The Bethlehem Massacre took place in January 1952, in which 10 Palestinians were massacred. The Qibya Massacre took place on October 14, 1953, in the village of Qibya, east of Jerusalem, during which (67) Palestinians were massacred, most of whom were women and children, and during which 56 homes were destroyed. The Qalqilya Massacre took place on October 10, 1956, when the occupation forces attacked citizens in the city of Qalqilya in the West Bank, during which about seventy citizens were massacred.

The Kafr Qasem Massacre took place on October 29, 1956, in which 49 Palestinians were massacred, including 11 children, when they were all returning home from work. The Khan Yunis Massacre took place on November 3 and 12, 1956, in which between 280 and 500 Palestinians were massacred.

In 1970, Zionist aircraft struck Bahr al-Baqar Primary School and Abu Zaabal factories, killing more than 150 Egyptian students and workers. In 1980, the extremist Jewish organization Kach attempted to blow up Al-Aqsa Mosque, and a shipment of explosives weighing 120 kg was discovered. The Sabra and Shatila massacre took place in September 1982. This massacre lasted three days, and its direct perpetrators were members of the Lebanese Phalange forces allied with the Zionists led by Ariel Sharon. The Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre took place on February 25, 1994, when a Zionist named “Barog Goldstein” stormed the Ibrahimi Mosque in the city of Hebron, and fired bullets and bombs at the worshipers. This massacre resulted in the massacre of 29 Palestinians. The Qana Massacre took place on April 18, 1995. [2]

Jane stated: It is horrific when you have to run for your life into bomb shelters, and old ladies living on the fourth floors of apartments that do not have an elevator – are not being able to come down to get into a bomb shelter. Imagine the terror as you bring your toddlers out in the middle of the night, running for cover as you try to shield their tender lives, because numerous countries are firing missiles, drones and rockets – all because they want to kill you just for you being Jewish and living in your own country. [end of quote]

Response: The plight of those who have been forced to flee for their lives for more than seventy years even more harrowing, especially when confronted by a Zionist army. It is indeed tragic that elderly women must navigate life on the fourth floor without elevators, unable to reach bomb shelters. Now, consider the even graver situation of those Palestinian elderly women who are left vulnerable to deadly Zionist airstrikes, with no refuge in sight. We can picture the sheer terror of a parent carrying a toddler through the chaos of the night, desperately seeking safety to protect their precious child. Now, amplify that fear to encompass the Palestinian toddlers who are exposed to the devastating impact of Zionist bombs, and the horror they experience when their families are obliterated without any shelter. We must reiterate to Jane that violence begets violence. Those who identify with Islam and target non-combatants and unarmed civilians deserve unequivocal condemnation. However, the strongest denunciation should be directed at the successive Zionist administrations and their military forces, who have perpetuated a campaign of terror for over seventy years. Additionally, the claim that the land belongs solely to one group has already been addressed on this link: https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2024/11/20/the-promised-land-a-brief-examination-from-a-religious-and-historical-perspective/

Jane stated: The more subtle battles you face each day are things like your manufactured or homemade products being boycotted just for living in Judea and Samaria. In the political arena, your leaders are being named as war criminals when they are just defending you and your country. Then you have to watch millions of people walking in protests on the streets of cities all across the world while calling for the annihilation of you and your wife and your children, your grandchildren – staring in unbelief as you watch them walking and chanting in the streets as they call for robust support of these modern-day Nazis. [end of quote]

Response: We have consistently expressed our disapproval of sensationalism; it is imperative that we engage in discussions grounded in facts rather than resorting to dramatization and appealing for sympathy at the cost of fairness. The decision for any state or organization to boycott the Zionist government is a personal choice, irrespective of an individual’s circumstances under the Zionist administration. Read:

https://abukhadeejah.com/muslims-are-oppressed-around-the-world-but-salafis-refuse-to-protest-in-the-streets-and-boycott/

In the realm of politics, few groups have a more storied legacy of political support than the Zionists. [Footnote a] Furthermore, the leaders within the Zionist movement bear responsibility for the accusations leveled against them, irrespective of those they profess to protect. The right to self-defense and retaliation does not excuse acts of aggression and violence; indeed, it is even more troubling when such conduct is endorsed by declarations from Zionist figures.

Jane stated: However, the air is silent because there is not one word of shock, outrage, or anger for the hostages of October 7, 2023, to be released. In Israel, there are survivors among your people who have gone through the horrors of the Holocaust – and against all they endured, these brave souls came back as prophecies were fulfilled. Today, we see the Jewish people come home to their ancestral homeland with connections that reach back to thousands of years. Then the October 7 massacre happened, and some of those survivors perished at the hands of this new generation of Nazis.

This event in Israel was the biggest onslaught against the Jewish people since World War Two happened. Your soul feels violated as you are forced to watch people glorify and celebrate that horrific day, and on top of that – the world expects you to show restraint to feed your enemies and give them water and electricity to the people who are cheering when your people are being murdered. [end of quote]

Response: Netanyahu and Hamas share culpability for this malevolence, despite the fact that Hamas was absent when the Zionists initiated their acts of brutality more than seventy years ago. Nevertheless, Hamas serves as a strategic instrument for the Zionists.
https://www.abuiyaad.com/w/hamas-israeli-right

Those who endured the horrors of the Holocaust and have recently faced violence deserve our compassion, and it is imperative to clarify that no one should justify acts of violence that target non-combatants and unarmed civilians, regardless of their background as Holocaust survivors or otherwise. Such acts of brutality are unequivocally condemned. However, we must also consider the plight of the thousands of Palestinians whose families—spanning three or four generations—have been decimated by Zionist bombings. What of those Palestinians whose legacy is one of displacement and profound suffering passed down through generations? While the events of October 7th are rightly condemned and should never be repeated, we must also reflect on the more grievous reality: the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians over the past year. Furthermore, what implications are you suggesting regarding access to electricity and water? We shall refrain from commenting on your statement, as this issue has been widely discussed globally, and anyone with a sense of decency understands the moral complexities involved.

Jane stated: So, think about your circumstances – no matter what hardship you’re going through around the world, you don’t have to endure such horror and abuse. Can you imagine – no – unless you live here, you can’t. Millions of Israelis have PTSD; they are deeply traumatized. Such is the very soul of Israel, with so much pain and grief. [end of quote]

Response: Certainly, it is essential for us to reflect on our situations and extend our compassion to every non-combatant and unarmed civilian, irrespective of their faith or social standing, who has faced oppression or violence. Our hearts go out to all those caught in the turmoil instigated by Netanyahu and Hamas, whether they identify as Jews, Christians, or Muslims. The impact of this trauma will undoubtedly resonate among non-combatants on both sides, a reality that Prince Turki al-Faisal unequivocally denounces. Let us take a moment to listen once more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3-cWyFcK5w

Jane stated: But for such a time as this – you – good, loving, history-understanding people, and especially Christians – the Bible-believing people who understand the truth, the facts, the history – you are obligated for such a time as this to stand up and speak up like Queen Esther did for her nation, the Jewish people who are constantly forced to defend their very existence, and their right to live in the great nation of Israel.

Israel has to constantly defend why they are demolishing the homes of terrorists who have murdered Jews, while on the other side of the coin, you watch YOUR government (and many others around the world) pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into arch-terrorist Abu Mazen/ Mahmoud Abbas – a terrorist in a suit – who is paying a reward to the vile terrorists who are murdering Jewish children and adults. [end of quote]

Response: Those who uphold the truth do so without bias in their defense of it. We shall unite to condemn wrongdoing and champion justice, grounded in the final and infallible divine revelation. This is not a matter of seeking assistance at the cost of fairness, irrespective of the audience being addressed. Truth should not be selectively presented to undermine the rights of others or manipulated through the rhetoric of propagandists among Christian Zionists or various political lobbies worldwide. Instead, it must be conveyed and substantiated through concrete evidence, which have been observed over the past 70 years of oppression. The Jewish community, like any other, has at times faced persecution for their steadfast commitment to the truth during the presence of their Prophets, while at other times they have borne the repercussions of their misdeeds. A nation’s greatness is not defined by its identity or a purported special status in the Sight of Allah; rather, it is their actions, whether in alignment with or in defiance of divine revelation, that truly reflect their moral standing. Allah said:

وَقَضَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسۡرَٲٓءِيلَ فِى ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ لَتُفۡسِدُنَّ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَّتَيۡنِ وَلَتَعۡلُنَّ عُلُوًّ۬ا ڪَبِيرً۬ا

And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture, that indeed you would do mischief on the earth twice and you will become tyrants and extremely arrogant! [Al-Israa. Ayah 4]- Meaning, “We have declared, made a covenant with them and told them in their book that corruption will certainly occur from them on earth twice through committing sins, showing ingratitude to Allah for His Blessings, exalting themselves on earth and being arrogant therein; and that when one of these two (occasions) come to pass, Allah will give power to their enemies and take revenge on them, and this is an admonition and warning to them so that they may return to obedience and take heed”. [a]

فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ أُولَٮٰهُمَا بَعَثۡنَا عَلَيۡڪُمۡ عِبَادً۬ا لَّنَآ أُوْلِى بَأۡسٍ۬ شَدِيدٍ۬ فَجَاسُواْ خِلَـٰلَ ٱلدِّيَارِ‌ۚ وَكَانَ وَعۡدً۬ا مَّفۡعُولاً۬

So, when the promise came for the first of the two, We sent against you slaves of Ours given to terrible warfare. They entered the very innermost parts of your homes. And it was a promise (completely) fulfilled. [Al-Israa. Ayah 5] –

Meaning, the first of the two occasions during which they become corrupt; if such corruption occurred among them, We sent on you – by way of our all-encompassing divine will and decree- recompense (punishment) at the hands of those people with courage, large numbers, and armed, so, Allah gave them victory over you. They killed you, took your children away, plundered your wealth, invaded and destroyed your homes, entered the Sacred Masjid (Baytul Maqdis), and violated it. It must happen due to a reason from themselves. The Qur’an commentators differed regarding the identity of these people who were sent to overpower them, but they agreed that they were unbelievers. Either they were from the people of Iraq, the Arabian Peninsula, or elsewhere, whom Allah gave (the strength) to overpower the Children of Israel when their sins became rife, they abandoned much of their Shariah, and transgressed in the land. [b]

ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنَا لَكُمُ ٱلۡڪَرَّةَ عَلَيۡہِمۡ وَأَمۡدَدۡنَـٰكُم بِأَمۡوَٲلٍ۬ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ أَڪۡثَرَ نَفِيرًا

Then We gave you once again, a return of victory over them. And We helped you with wealth and children and made you more numerous in manpower. [Al-Israa. Ayah 6] –

Meaning, (gave you victory) against those who overpowered you, so you expelled them from your land; increased your sustenance and number, and gave you strength over them because of your righteous deeds and submission to Allah. [c]

إِنۡ أَحۡسَنتُمۡ أَحۡسَنتُمۡ لِأَنفُسِكُمۡ‌ۖ وَإِنۡ أَسَأۡتُمۡ فَلَهَا‌ۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ لِيَسُـۥۤـُٔواْ وُجُوهَڪُمۡ وَلِيَدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدَ ڪَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ۬ وَلِيُتَبِّرُواْ مَا عَلَوۡاْ تَتۡبِيرًا

(And We said): ‘If you do good, you do good for your own selves, and if you do evil, then it is (to your own selves).’ Then when the later promise came to pass (We enabled your enemies) to put sorrow on your faces (by conquering and enslaving you) and to enter the Mosque (of Jerusalem), as they had entered it the first time, and to destroy everything they came upon with utter destruction. [Al-Israa. Ayah 7] [d]

“If you do good, you do good for your own selves” because the benefit will return to you, even in this world [before the hereafter] as you witnessed when he aided you against your enemies. “And if you do evil, then it is [to your ownselves]”, meaning, the harm will return upon yourselves, as Allāh showed you by empowering the enemies [against you]. [e]

“Then when the later promise came to pass”– meaning, the next time you spread corruption on earth, we make your enemies overpower you. “to put sorrow on your faces (by conquering and enslaving you)”- Meaning, given victory over you, capture you, and enter the Sacred Masjid as they entered it the first time, and what is meant by the Mosque is Baytul Maqdis. “and to destroy everything they came upon with utter destruction”- Meaning, destroy your homes, Masjids and crops. [f]

عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يَرۡحَمَكُمۡ‌ۚ وَإِنۡ عُدتُّمۡ عُدۡنَا‌ۘ وَجَعَلۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ حَصِيرًا

(Thereafter Allāh said): ‘Perhaps your Lord may show mercy to you (if you repent), but if you return (to your sinful ways), then We shall return (to punishment). And we have made Hell an enclosure for the disbelievers. [Al-Israa. Ayah 8] [g]

Within these verses (Al-Israa 7) (al-Israa 8) is a warning to this Ummah (of Muhammad) against committing acts of disobedience lest what afflicted the Children of Israel afflict them as well. The Sunnah (way, rule) of Allāh is one, it does not change or become altered. Whoever looks [and reflects] upon the empowerment of the disbelievers and oppressors over the Muslims will come to know that this was due to their sins, as a punishment to them. [And also to make them realise] that if they enact and establish the Book of Allāh and the Sunnah of His Messenger, He will grant them firm authority in the land and aid them against their enemies. [h] [End of quote]

However, no matter the consequences endured by Jews, Muslims, Christians, or any other group, such circumstances do not excuse the actions of wrongdoers during these events. It is widely recognized that those who retaliate or seek vengeance against a collective often include individuals who will engage in excessive violence, an act that has never been endorsed by any Prophet of Allah. Consequently, those who take the lives of innocent Jews must be deemed malevolent, and their heinous actions should be unequivocally condemned. Likewise, Jews who perpetrate similar acts deserve condemnation without hesitation, even if they attempt to invoke the specter of anti-Semitism, as is often the tactic employed by Netanyahu and his associates to deflect accountability for their atrocities against Palestinians.

Jane stated: In order to seek the release of Israel’s precious and innocent civilians and soldiers who were kidnapped and dragged into the dungeons in Gaza, Israel has been forced to release cold-blooded terrorists who blew up cafes, blew up buses, and murdered Jews in the most heinous ways possible. [end of quote]

Response: We reiterate our call to avoid sensationalism and instead advocate for discourse grounded in truth. Every human life holds immense value, as highlighted by the verse from the Qur’an at the outset of this article. The abduction of innocent civilians has been unequivocally denounced by Prince Turki Al-Faisal, irrespective of whether they are confined in opulent residences or dark dungeons. The act of kidnapping is reprehensible in itself, even if the victim is treated with undue reverence. Yet, we must also consider the Palestinian prisoners who have been released in dire health, sharing harrowing stories of torture and brutality inflicted by Zionist prison guards. The destruction of buses and cafes is a despicable act, regardless of the victims, but even more egregious is the systematic eradication of three generations of Palestinians, transforming Gaza into a landscape of devastation visible to all.

Jane stated: Meanwhile, the world only mentions that they are Palestinian prisoners – who are “victims” in their own right and refuse to share the real reason they are prisoners, with terrible stories of the gruesome terror attacks they have committed. Where is the moral compass for the rest of the world when there are still hostages left inside Gaza being brutalized, tortured, and starved? All this while the world only cares about Israel, no longer letting aid into the Gaza Strip to feed the terror organization called Hamas.

Apparently, that’s more important to the world than the hostages who are still held in Gaza, all the families who are mourning their loved ones, or all the families who have lost a precious one in terror attacks even before or after October 7. We had one yesterday where terrorists were firing into the vehicle of an 18-year-old man who was shot in his arm. [end of quote]

Response: Your assertion that “the world” perceives these individuals as innocent suggests a universal consensus. Yet, without specific details regarding the crimes attributed to each prisoner, we cannot engage in conjecture about their classification as terrorists. Should you provide the particulars of their offenses, it is clear that Prince Turki Al-Faisal has unequivocally denounced all acts of terrorism committed in the name of Islam, as well as those framed as resistance or self-defense. Consequently, it cannot be said that the entire world views them merely as prisoners, especially when their actions are scrutinized by figures like Prince Turki Al-Faisal, who holds firm stances against both Hamas and Zionist actions. The moral compass remains consistent among those who value truth and fairness, as they do not adhere to double standards. Furthermore, the plight of innocent hostages and victims on both sides has also drawn condemnation from Prince Turki Al-Faisal. Thus, the claim that no one cares about the suffering of one side is sensationalist, and it is unacceptable to justify the suffering of Palestinian children under the pretense of punishing Hamas. We extend our sympathies to all those grieving for their loved ones, whether they are in the hands of Hamas or the Zionists, and we empathize with all who have endured pain due to the actions of both parties. However, it is the successive Zionist administrations that warrant the most condemnation for their relentless campaign of brutality over the past seventy years.

Jane stated: So again, let me repeat – whatever trauma, hardship, devastation, or grief you are going through, people are going through the same here in Israel, but on top of that, they have all the rest of these horrible and unjust issues to deal with on a daily basis. Let that sink in for just a moment because unless you live here, you can’t imagine what it’s like. So, for such a time as this, we are called to “comfort, comfort My people” and to stand united with Israel, the nation that God singled out from all the nations. He put the borders down and His Name down on this piece of land. God said, “I will plant them here, never to be uprooted again.” But uprooting and annihilation is what the world wants, they want to divide the Holy Land for their own profit, they dare to touch the apple of God’s eye, and they are okay with the murder and the slaughter of the Jewish people. Rockets, shootings, ramming attacks with cars and trucks, stabbing, axe attacks, machete attacks, bombings – you name it – it happens here. And yet, the world has more sympathy for these modern-day Nazis and their supporters – shame on you! And I want to encourage you as we just celebrated Purim: Stand with Israel, stand for truth, stand for justice, come against the lies when you see your government is supporting Mahmoud Abbas – a terrorist in a suit, or when you see your government is supporting UNWRA who is doing nothing good – nothing but indoctrinating children with hatred towards the Jewish people and they becoming the next generation of Hamas terrorists. UNWRA workers are Hamas terrorists! [end of quote]

Response: Indeed, it is essential for us to contemplate the anguish experienced by individuals across the globe, irrespective of their nationality, ethnicity, or faith. The Palestinian people, in particular, endure daily hardships that are unparalleled in the aftermath of the Second World War. Let us take a moment to truly grasp this reality; unless we have lived under the oppressive conditions imposed by Zionist forces, we cannot fully comprehend their suffering. In these challenging times, we are called to extend our compassion to our Palestinian brothers and sisters, as well as to all those who have faced adversity at the hands of both Zionists and Hamas, as eloquently expressed by Prince Turki Al Faisal. Regarding the notion of being a nation chosen by God until the end of time, this belief stems from a misinterpretation of sacred texts, which the final revelation contradicts, indicating that the idea of being the sole chosen people – until the end of time – among all nations is unfounded.

The violence, including shootings, vehicular assaults, stabbings, and axe attacks, is a manifestation of the turmoil instigated by Zionists since their brutal treatment of Palestinians, their expulsion from ancestral lands, and the appropriation of territory under the guise of a divine entitlement. Historically, Jews and Muslims coexisted harmoniously in this region before the advent of the Zionist agenda. Therefore, our compassion must encompass all victims affected by the circumstances fostered by Zionist actions and the tactics employed by Hamas, which have only exacerbated the crisis. The true disgrace lies with those who instigated this chaos and those who respond in a manner that makes the situation worse. We refuse to align ourselves with Israel or any party based on falsehoods, unfounded claims, or sensational narratives; instead, we will uphold the truth as expressed by Prince Faisal Al-Turki. We stand firmly against the killing of children and non-combatants, regardless of their faith—be it Muslim, Jew, Christian, or otherwise. Allah said:

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٲمِينَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ شُہَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَوِ ٱلۡوَٲلِدَيۡنِ وَٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ‌ۚ إِن يَكُنۡ غَنِيًّا أَوۡ فَقِيرً۬ا فَٱللَّهُ أَوۡلَىٰ بِہِمَا‌ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعۡدِلُواْ‌ۚ وَإِن تَلۡوُ ۥۤاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرً۬ا

O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah; even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do. [An-Nisaa. 135]
