Can't be Muslim (94)Chapter: Fighting against the Jews(94)باب قِتَالِ الْيَهُودِ Sahih al-Bukhari 2926 Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him." حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تُقَاتِلُوا الْيَهُودَ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْحَجَرُ وَرَاءَهُ الْيَهُودِيُّ يَا مُسْلِمُ، هَذَا يَهُودِيٌّ وَرَائِي فَاقْتُلْهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 2926 In-book reference : Book 56, Hadith 139 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 4, Book 52, Hadith 177 (deprecated numbering scheme) 29252927

Palestinian fighters have kidnapped IDF Soldiers and Isreali civilians and brought them back to Gaza. But why is hamas using this tactic you ask? Its because they are hoping to exchange them for thousands of Palestinians in isreali jails. right now Isreal is holding over 5000 Palestinians including 170 CHILDREN AND 33 WOMEN in their jails where they face a series of extreme human rights violations and hamas has said they have enough isreali captives to free all of the prisoners. Because Palestinians know that in the eyes of Isreal and international community Isreali lives are far more valuable than Palestinians and this was proved in 2011 when a singular Israeli named Gilad shalit an IDF soldier was exchanged for 1027 Palestinian prisoners'. So if the world placed real value on Palestinian lives instead of allowing and cheering on Israel to occupy assault, imprison and kill Palestinians on a daily basis maybe the situation would be different.

I am an Israeli and I respect this man. That being said, him saying "violence will not solve anything" at this level is akin to saying the same when Hitler has already invaded Poland in 1939. Unfortunately, sometimes you have no other choice left but to wipe out the enemy who clearly states out his goal to destroy you. It should be remembered that the palestinians are being taught to hatred from kindergarten age. Little kids make plays showing them killing Jews. This is, in my opinion, an even bigger problem than Hammas itself. Germans went through de-nazification after WW2. What do we do witn the Gazah population, even if Hammas is completely obliterated? Left to their own devices, the people in Gazah would grow Hammas 2.0 in no time.

If you give people help and hope and admit your OWN wrongdoings (the Palestians AND the Israelis), most people WILL change over time. (Relative) Prosperity, safety and peace is an powerful motivator. The Germans DID change after WW2. Try to show empathy for the other side: The land of the Palestian people was taken after WW2 by Jewish settlers desperate for a safe home (which is a valid wish). In the last decades they were the ones who suffered the most under this conflict. Now they are ferchted on a small land and continously threatend and discriminated against. If you give them their own land, help to prosper and actual autonomy, the majority will calm down and be satisfied.

I think you're conflicting the root cause of the issue, Hitler's invasion wasn't based on a conflict created by oppression, killing Palestinians trying to get rid of Hama's will not work, it will only flame the fire of hatred, the root cause is what Palestinians suffer on daily occurrence. Don't take my words for it, Nelsen Mandala himself described it as an apartheid worse than SA, maybe there is validty to that claim. Go and investigate it from the Palestinian's perspective, put yourself in their shoes and I mean it truly. Don't try to rebuttal me as I will not be reading it since I have no dog in the fight. This is for you to overcome and begin to understand a perspective that's different to yours. I sincerely wish peace for everyone.

Many don't have a choice, and Hamas is their last hope for any sort of protection. Israel has harsh restrictions on Palestinians leaving the country. If you look at a recent map of the two countries, you would also be able to see how geography aids Israel in their restrictions and why it is harder for Palestinians to leave. I know many Palestinians who hate Hamas, but can't speak out due to their violent nature and power. Many can't just leave because they dislike Hamas. As I said before, Hamas is their last hope for survival. The situation isn't as black and white as it seems from the outside.

@logicalconceptofficial 8 ай бұрын

Because you must be tolerant to be tolerant and be better than the people we all criticize. It is also hyperbole and a sweeping generalization to say that an entire people wants to do that (rape and murder). It’s simply not true. Everyone simply needs to live up to their own principles and be devoted to the Source of Knowledge by whatever name they know it by whether it’s Reason, Logic, Logos, YHVH, Elohim, Allah, Tao, Brahman, etc. Those who reject the Source of Knowledge are fools. Reason would have us tolerate and forgive, knowing that nothing is nothing (so nothing is truly dead and gone) and that all is one universally (general coherence - existential oneness) and that we all must ask for and give forgiveness to be truly rational, good, and coherent with God (Logic). Does Logic throw a lightning bolt down at you for being wrong or even for being evil (egregiously incoherent)? No, you have surely been shown endless patience by the Universe and it’s Logic (YHVH). The Logic of Perfect Understanding (God) is not the flawed and self incriminating logic of strict condemnation. The logic of condemnation condemns even itself, while the Logic of Understanding understands and gives understanding to all including itself. We must align with God (the Logic of Universal Comprehension, the Logic of True Understanding) and not with our corrupt and wicked nations who go around condemning their own image in the mirror.

@Regnet35 8 ай бұрын

Did you watch the whole video? I think the answer is in there if you think about it. It starts with seeing other humans as humans. If you believe all the others rape and murder it will never be possible. The ones who commit violence are doing it exactly for that reason. They have been told to hate the other side their whole lives, and they don't see the other side as humans anymore. The antidote to all this is simply to listen to each other and to put yourself in the others shoes.

I don't think that both sides live on hate and vengeance, I think that one side lives on hate.

They never called for the extermination of Muslims or Germans even though both groups have collectively called for their extermination over the course of history.

Israel had a chance for an equitable and meaningful to the crisis when dealing with the PLO and PA but decided to call them terrorist and not a viable partner.

Article 80 (called the Palestine clause). Rights for Jews to settle anywhere in Palestine west of the Jordan River are therefore guaranteed by the former NF which has now changed its name to the UN. Egypt illegally conquered and occupied the Gaza Strip in 1948 when it attacked Israel. Jordan conquered, occupied and annexed the West Bank including Jerusalem illegally when it attacked Israel in 1948. Both of these countries then, according to international law, became illegal occupiers as they had no legal right to these territories. After Egypt, Jordan and Syria launched hostilities against Israel during the 1967 Six Day War, Israel captured Gaza and the West Bank including Jerusalem.

Thank you very much for this. Aziz Abu Sarah seems like a really good man. Not personally sure how exactly peace can be found but the people in charge right now sure haven't been doing a good job at working towards it, why think they'll start as they get older? Crazy how you can have old people plotting their mess while poisoning relations that lead to young people dying and killing each other.

From a Russian Jew living in U.S thank you for a hopeful message Aziz. My Grandma and uncle are alone in Sderot near Gaza strip as my family evacuated to the North. What happened on Oct.7 was pure barbarism. When I see dead Palestinian children pulled out from rubble my heart breaks just the same. I hate Hamas for what they did, but I have no love for Israel's "leadership" who lead up to this point. Praying for this nightmare to end for all of us.

Aziz Abu Sarah should be the ones leading the Palestinian people. No one would benefit if we keep continuing the hate and war because of the past, we must look forward for the future of the Generations, whether Israeli-Palestinian citizens if both citizens would always bring up the pasts it won't lead them nowhere. Yes, both sides committed atrocities before, but AGAIN that was all on the past, can't we just focus on the future of our kids more than the past?

Thank you, Mr. Aziz, especially for your words about tribalism in the last few minutes of the interview! You are so right! What is the universal, that each and all of the ordinary people share? It is our being a human with the ability to love and hate. This is our common ground on which we all can meet. There we can choose between love and hate. We can help each other grow or we can make each other miserable. When people can think for a moment for themselves and use their common sense without being influenced from a partial side, it should be clear, what most people would choose. We are not divided by religions, not by colour or anything of the kind as soon as we as a human being choose not to be divided! The question is, what forces are instigating and fuelling the hatred and inhumaneness, who is pressuring on us these tribal and pseudo-religious ideas instead of fuelling the idea of respect, freedom, fraternity and unifying humanity? As soon as people understand from which direction division and willful devastation come they immediately will realize that they are born free to live a life in creativity, richness and fraternity with all living beings! It is not about a special religion, it is a fight between good and evil, the principle of life against the principles of a death cult.
