Asalamu alaykum Brothers & Sisters,
I've got an unusual story to tell and I hope the moderators will forgive me for being slightly off topic. I've commented before, but I can't believe that there
are some Muslims who actually support 'Israel' - unbelievable !!!
I was interested in various expressions of faith in high school, and I visited a few places.
Once I visited a Jewish bookshop - and there was an old Jewish man there. My honest recollection is that he was a very angry & obsessed person, who started raving & ranting about the holocaust/ww2/israel ect'.
So from this, I can understand easily - how those who were persecuted, became the persecutors. They were angry, afraid and wanted their own piece of real estate to feel safe in.
Another time I summoned up enough courage to visit a synagogue.
The ceremony was interesting, they paraded around the room with the torah, honoring it as God's word. The text to be read for the day, just happened to be the one in deut' about homosexuality. Then a female Rabbi gave the lecture. To my absolute astonishment and bewilderment, she said that homosexuality was no sin. And that ended my interest in Judaism, full stop.
My view is ... (1) that the Jews of today - are not the same people mentioned in the torah. I don't believe they are even descended from them ( except maybe a rare few ). They are just a very mixed bunch of modern people who decided to call themselves Jews, either recently or many generations back.
I do not believe they have any moral right to the land, just because of whatever the torah may say.
(2) It is an absolutely historical fact, that the land of palestine was stolen from the people who lived there in the most brutal & violent manner.
If you don't believe me, then you are blind or just plain ignorant.
(3) Jerusalem is a holy city to muslims, therefore it is of importance to us to retain it within the possesion of the muslims. Inshallah, it will be returned to the Palestinian people within my lifetime - please let me see it Lord !
From what I have read, many poor jewish people did not even want to go to Palestine, but they did so because of the influence of the zioinsts. It was a cold-blooded, deliberate program to create a modern specuation called 'israel'.
And why ?
a) America wanted a rottweiler ( a fierce type of dog ) in the middle east to keep an eye on the arabs & the oil wells(divide & conquer).
b) It was a gift to the jews for supporting the war.
c) I also think it was in revenge for the Palestinian mufti supporting Hitler
( but I'm willing to bet the mufti was only trying to protect his own country,
and was ignorant of Hitler's real beliefs ... that untimately arabs would be expended & eliminated after the jews ).
There are many good books, videos, phamphets, pdfs ect' - which one can read about how the Palestinians experianced ( & still are ) ethnic cleansing.
Any muslims who supports the modern speculation called 'Israel' -well I'd seriously have to doubt his sanity and his loyalty.
There are even a small number of Rabbis who are anti-zionist, due to what it says in torah / talmud.
Nobody should feel sorry for the zionists/israelis, we should be saving up our pocket money so we can buy more rocket launchers for the Palestinians !
I have
no moral problem whatsoever with openly supporting the Palestinian struggle to regain their country, their soverignty, their religious freedom, their dignity.
And we can also mention Iraq, Lebanon, Afganistan ... so many other countries. What is it really all about ? Oil, Oil, Oil, Oil, Oil !
OK, forgive me for my excessive posting. I'll rest for a while.
