Peace will triumph over chaos
Soldiers fight wars and like civilians are killed, maimed and suffer trauma that often lasts forever.
Ironically, it is politicians who ultimately talk solutions whilst many others often died unnecessarily.
Beside politicians, a few businesses decide who benefits. This is reality where many suffer and a few benefit. Before studying any situation, always consider whose interests are threatened or protected.
The Palestinian struggle is no different. Palestinians suffer under Israeli’s who learnt little humanity from centuries of European oppression. Had Israeli’s learnt humanity they would have treated Palestinians better. Hitler did to the Jews what Zionists are doing to Palestinians. Nazi’s forced Jews into ghettos, like Palestinians in Gaza. When Jews resisted, Nazi’s bombed the ghettoes, like Israel bombs resistance in Gaza. Israel learnt to kill and oppress Palestinians from European racism.
Moving forward, what is required is a “Unified Holy Land” where Palestinian (Christian, Muslims) and Israeli’s (Jews) must learn to live together. The idea of a lasting peace is important for the entire region since harmony terrifies Zionists and the undemocratic regimes who govern the Middle East.
Constitutional Democracies with a Bill of Human Rights and Responsibilities based on the Torah, Bible and Quran is feared by oppressors especially the USA, Britain, France, Israel and Arab regimes.
God Almighty already stated, those best in character and beneficial to humankind is closest to God.
Thus everything else including those who think they are “Chosen” and those who feel entitled to benefit from the labour of other’s because they are “Royalty” must wake up to reality. Everyone must work for a living and “inherited authority” must be eradicated from human consciousness.
Why must some people benefit from an action their ancestors did centuries ago. It is illogical that some feel entitled to live in opulence and govern because of bloodlines and not individual ability.
Furthermore, Saudi Arabia a “family owned” kingdom waged war with Yemen for 10yrs. Similarly Syria, Libya and Iraq managed by oligarchy kill their own Muslim citizens but refuse to fight Israel.
This makes it obvious that many Arab leaders prefer to kill defenceless Muslims instead of Zionists.
Constitutional Democracies with the Quran as “primary guidance” for Muslim majority nations will eradicate militant Islam as they will be neutralized by a democratic majority rule of traditional Islam.
A Unified Holy Land, where Jews/Palestinian can have localised authority may seem difficult immediately but Muslims must recall that Caliph Omar returned Jews to Jerusalem after Christians banished all Jews. Also, Salahudin did the same after the crusades killed all the Jews in Jerusalem.
Although it is difficult to mention at this specific time, Muslims must always remember, political Zionism is the enemy of Palestinians and Muslims, not the religion and people of Judaism. Muslims are the well-balanced community and Islam is built on the eternal pursuit of truth and justice.
