I explained in this text on the 14th of last month:
Above is a quote from Muslim ibn alHajjaj (815875) or Imam Muslim who wrote one of the “hadths”, which is a compilation of Muhammad’s alleged oral communications. His “Sahih (Authentic) Muslim” is one of the two most influential among the Sunnis. The above fragment is in Book 41.
Read the excerpt again and remember the October 7 terrorist attack. There are hundreds of pacifist passages in the Koran and there are many, yes, that call for violence like those found in the Bible, that’s worth noting. The harbingers of the end times chose the part of a compilation that deals with the destruction of a people; This teaches Muslims to distrust even the only tree Gharqad (“Lycian” in Portuguese) that would not betray the enemy. Is this just a 9th century deception? In 2014, Egyptian Mufti (Quran interpreter) Ali Gomaa said on his country’s television that Jews in the West Bank were planting many gharqad trees to hide from Muslims in the Last Judgment.
Frightening parallelism
Ignoring the evil of what is written there, which results in the inability to reach agreement, is tantamount to neglecting reality. Fundamentalists, however tautological it may seem, define themselves by what they are. And what they are led to what they did. And that is why I do not hesitate to consider them a terrorist force since I do not recognize any cause for the people in whose name they speak, even in origin, that justifies their brutality.
But notice something of enormous relevance that Israeli leaders should consider and that they are neglecting in their crazy response. It is unacceptable for Netanyahu and his fanatics, in the style of Muslim ibn alHajjaj, but from the other side of the battle, to say something like:
“The hour of judgment will come only when the Jews fight against Hamas and end up killing them. And even if Hamas fighters take shelter behind hospitals, schools, ambulances, UN relief services, every hospital, every school, every ambulance, every UN building, this will be the case.” shout: “O Jews, O servants of God Israel, there is a Hamas fighter behind me, come and kill him.”
After all, why do many of us refer to Hamas as a “terrorist group”? For in his eschatological theories relating to the end of times (these times) and the beginning of a new era, there are no improper means, all of which are acceptable as long as they are aimed at the end they foreshadow something which Machiavelli never recommended or endorsed. It’s always good to remember that. If the opponent’s motto is: “Everything is lawful for me if the other side resorts to human shields,” then the contenders hug and embrace each other in murderous stupidity.
That criminals use the lives of innocent people as a tool to attack the military power they are fighting does not surprise us, let’s be honest, because they are what they choose to be and that just shows us that they are fighting Need to become. That an organized state which emerged from a founding trauma brought about by a genocidal imagination that killed millions of people simply for being who they were flirts with this logic presents us with a gigantic civilizational defeat. And in this case, Israel is the one who loses the most.
Journalist Thomas Friedman wrote the following in the New York Times on October 20th. Read very carefully:
“What makes the situation triple dangerous is that even if Israel acts with Herculean restraint to prevent the deaths of civilians in Gaza, it doesn’t matter. “Remember what happened on Tuesday at the Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.”
As Israeli columnist Nahum Barnea pointed out to me, the Islamic Jihad in Palestine (JIP) achieved more with a seemingly defective rocket this week than “all of its successful rocket launches.”
Why? After that rocket failed and hit the Palestinian hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds of people, Hamas and JIP claimed without evidence that Israel had deliberately bombed the hospital, setting streets on fire across the Arab world. By the time Israel and the US presented convincing evidence just hours later that the JIP had accidentally hit the Gaza hospital with its own rocket, it was too late. Arab streets were ablaze and a meeting between Arab leaders and Biden was canceled.
(…) It is not surprising that proAmerican Arab leaders are imploring Biden to ask the Israelis to act in a way that leaves room for further cooperation with Israel.
For this reason, I believe that Israel would be in a much better position if it defined every action in Gaza as an “operation to rescue Israeli hostages” rather than an “operation to finally end Hamas” and did so surgically Attacks and special forces that are still able to capture Hamas leaders and have also drawn the clearest line between the Gaza civilian population and the Hamas dictatorship.”
