Our brothers and sisters in faith of Elohim, of Allah, YHWH, have declared Israel a false state that should not be supported and even to be opposed. They stand in solidarity with Muslims. They recognize that Jews have lived in peace with Muslims for over 1400 years in the Yemen, Morocco, Algeria, Spain, etc. Maybe with the solidarity with our Hasidic brothers and sisters, a real comprehensive movement that opposes using secular political ideas to govern.
May Allah protect them.

Zionism is Political
What is surprising is that most people don't know the History of how Israel became a country. In fact with the Balfour declaration it only stated that Jews should have a "National Homeland" that does not mean they should constitute a country/STATE! When the first European jews in the late 1800's came over to Palestine they did not try to take it over from the Palestinian Muslims, Jews, and Christians. It wasn't until WWII that the US pressured England to submit to allowing more Jews into Palestine, still though this did not mean they constituted a STATE! They stole the land from other Jewish, Christian and Muslim Palestinians who formerly were ruled by a JUST Ottoman empire (before the british conquered).
For over 1500 years that land had primarily lived in peace under MUSLIM caliphate rule except for when the European Christian CRUSADERS massacred people there.
Anyone with baseless opinions to this conflict need to calm down, do some reading, look beyond their local media and try to understand the other side.
There is a very specific reason to why the Palestinians, such as Hamas, will never recognize Israel. Palestinians have been shat upon for the past 60 years. Much of the Muslim world has been in too much internal conflict because of Nationalism to respond to this occupation. Proud Palestinians have been dehumanized continuously for 60 years.
In fact, the water table under Gaza, has been siphoned from underneath them by Israel amongst other issues. What we haven't heard in the news here is that Israel has enforced STRICT sanctions on Gaza for over 9 months. Egypt is too afraid of opening the border with Gaza because of Israeli repercussions, which is causing much strife internationally.
I want people to imagine how they would act if someone came to your land that your family has had for hundreds of years and claimed it as their own! WHAT WOULD YOU DO??? You would fight for your land and you would not give up until you had your ancestral land! period.
HOW can anyone sitting in the WEST who has not been forcibly removed from their ancestral land possibly imagine how the Palestinians feel and how Hamas desires to restore land stolen by the Zionist?
btw, I was raised Jewish and had even contemplated in my youth to become an Israeli citizen. I don't make any comment from a racist xenophobic place, but speak from a place of knowledge.
The only religious state where all 3 Abrahamic faiths lived peacefully was an Islamic STATE. In fact, it was the Islamic state that specifically protected it's different religious denomination against foreign attack especially against the all too righteous Catholic church.
More than ever we need an Islamic State that follows the laws and rules of God that will allow society to restore itself to a place of spiritual development and not on one where hedonistic and utilitarian desires run rampant!

Evil Israel
Seems the Israelis forgot that for the past 2 months they have cut off Gaza completely from the world. Gaza has not been allowed food from outside, electricity, water or medicine. No wonder why the government would send rocket attacks outside of the barbed walls of Gaza! More than ever we need to press our governments to stand up to Israel and tell them that we put the pieces together and will not believe the lies they are telling us about Hamas, the legal government of Palestine, and Palestinians. Any government would break a cease fire if their people were directly dying from forced illegal sanctions against their citizens. Gathering weapons was a strategic and intelligent move of the Palestinian government, as all governments are allowed to protect their citizens. Now more than ever we must support those who are being oppressed violently in whatever manner it is possible.
Islam is a practice of inner struggle and only outer struggle if you are being attacked. So now is the natural time for active fighting against those who are forcing us to not follow our Islamic rituals and practices.

God Damn Who?
Recent news of Israel once again planning to invade Gaza is entirely unsettling and raises questions whether or not anyone remembers how this all began.
As most know Israel was an invented state that sprung out of specific Zionist arguments as spelled out by Leo Pinsker in Auto- Emancipation in 1882. Pinsker, a citizen of Russia, knew of the horror Jews were facing in the Russia pogroms and needs for the Jewish people of a "National Home." His paper led to another paper written by a Austrian Jewish journalist, Theodore Herzl, in 1896 called, Der Judenstaat or "The Jew's State." Previous to this opinion that the Jews needed their own state, many rabbi's said that a Jewish state was not possible until the Messiah has come. I guess their messiah was the a document by the name of the Balfour Declaration and the queen of England.
The Balfour Declaration, however, never said that Palestine would be turned into a Jewish State, in fact there weren't any borders that declared a Jewish state. Another point is that this would be a "National Homeland" and not a STATE, under geographical terms a State is a land the is politically recognized by other governments and Nation is a tightly knit group of people who may or may not constitute a STATE/COUNTRY. Under this declaration, Israel was only given status of National Homeland and not a Jewish State.
When European Jews came to Palestine they did not find an empty land. There were pocket of Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Samarians living there. Many of these Europeans were able to find land for sale that was sold by the absentee landlords. Under Palestinian culture, absentee landlords permitted "peasants" to occupy their land and tend to farming and animal husbandry to pay for the "rent." I would suspect that these absentee landlords figured that the new owners would continue to honor that aspect, but these Europeans, who knew nothing about farming or the dry land of Palestine, kicked off these "peasants" and started their own kibbutz after learning how to work the land.
Then came the Jewish terrorists, Haganah and Irgun who ruthlessly murdered Palestinian women and children in Hebron and other Palestinian territories. These 2 "para-military" groups were professionally trained with many of their members having been apart of the armed forces in their primary country of origin. Although the Wailing Wall massacre was a hideous event nothing could compare to the decades of torture and humiliation that Palestinians face and will continue to face until the Messiah and Madhi returns to this DUNYA.
What is happening today is no surprise. The Jews will continue to wash out blood with blood and will probably not stop until they have Gaza again under their full control. Palestinians will continue to not be allowed water, food, electricity, and life. Jewish Zealots will continue to build their illegal homesteads on Palestinian land and get shot at for stealing the property.
What we will not allow Israel to get away with is calling Palestinians terrorists. We as Muslims in the west need to stand up to our government and tell them that we do not accept their support of this illegal occupation of Palestine. We must also inform our fellow citizens what is really happening to HUMANS in Palestine, without rationalizing the use of violence, which should never be accepted unless you are being attacked and looking down the barrel of a gun.
Allah azawajul does not honor those who turn to violence to make a point politically or socially. Even if Israel is doing something entirely against basic human rights and illegal, Allah will justly deal with them in the akhera.

Gaza Strip- Murder, Oppression, Starvation
Israel has shut down all border crossing and relief efforts into Gaza. As there are 1.5 million Palestinians living in Gaza this is a horrific circumstance.
We could blame Israel for this new concentration camp, but we should look to why Egypt is not opening up the border to allow Palestinians to cross. It is more than heart breaking. What can any of us to help our brothers and sisters in Palestine?
Have we all gone so far astray from Islam that Allah, swt, is angry with us that He is allowing this to happen? Perhaps it is a test of our leaders in the MidEast to stand up and take responsibility for other Muslims, not because they are Palestinians or Egyptians, but because they are MUSLIMS!
May we forever ask for forgiveness from Allah for abandoning the sirata al-mustakeen.
