Jesus Christ says that we should seek and uphold the truth, and that only the truth will set us free from all forms of self-afflictions in the world. Unfortunately, the world hates the truth because the God that rules the kingdoms of men is a liar and father of lies. Nevertheless, presenting the truth in the present circumstance is apt, and encouraging the belligerent parties to accept the truth is the surest way to bring the war to an immediate end.
My heart truly goes out to the families of the horrified and demeaned hostages, of those killed in the ensuing battle, and of all the people suffering the horrors of this needless war, to all Palestinians and Israelis in general. They are but victims, being used as pawns in Jehovah/Allah’s endless dance of shame that is willfully aimed at terrorizing, horrifying, tormenting, and massacring defenseless humans in line with his sworn vengeance against spiritual posterity of Adam and Eve who trounced and disgraced him in Eden after receiving divine inspiration from the heavenly Christ. “I will take vengeance, and I will spare no man,” vowed Jehovah/Allah. … “For Jehovah/Allah is enraged against all the nations, and furious against all their host, he has doomed them, has given them over for slaughter.” [Isaiah 47:3; 34:2]
As I said in my previous article on the ongoing carnage triggered by Hamas’ senseless terror attack of October 7, 2023 on defenseless Israeli civilians, the Hamas-Israeli war is part of the continuing shadowboxing by the Haughty one of Eden. So, while I strongly blame Hamas for allowing extreme hatred of Jews to push it into starting a war that it knew would spell doom for innocent Palestinians whom it claims to be fighting for, Jehovah/Allah is the actual terrorist behind the horrifying events of October 7, 2023 and the resultant bloodbath in Gaza, which is increasingly threatening to escalate into a worldwide conflagration.
The Core of South Africa's Response
South Africa accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza and asking the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to compel Israel to immediately suspend its attacks is one-sided and ill-intended. It is an appeal to cheap sentiment that only adds fuel to the ravaging inferno. Nothing in South Africa’s action shows genuine empathy either for the Palestinians or the Israelis who are suffering effects of the senseless war that was singlehandedly started by Hamas; nothing in it calls for an unconditional release of the innocent hostages or shows genuine desire in seeing a well-mediated immediate end to the war, or in seeing Israelis and Palestinians and indeed, all their warring Arab brothers and sisters live permanently in peace and harmony going forward. It is like a total outsider attempting to exhume a corpse but starts from its legs because he was not there when it was buried. South Africa did not demonstrate adequate understanding or take into consideration the root cause and the historical background of the endless armed conflicts plaguing inhabitants of the entire Middle East. South Africa gave away its position as being biased and self-seeking where it deliberately refused to acknowledge relevant facts in the present crisis, including the facts that Hamas is a terrorist group and premeditatedly initiated the gruesome attack of October 7, 2023 on innocent Israeli civilians, abducted and still holds many of them as hostages in horrifying conditions in dark tunnels under Gaza and continues to fire missiles into Israel while hiding among defenseless Palestinian civilians, and that Israel is only fighting in self-defense and to retrieve its abducted citizens.
Jesus Christ says that one should treat others the way he would want others to treat him, and that applies equally to nations. Israel is fighting to free its citizens abducted and held hostage by Hamas and Israeli Prime Minister repeatedly makes it clear that Israel will not stop fighting until Hamas releases all the hostages. What is morally wrong with that? Would South Africa expect any nation, agency, or institution to sue and compel it to stop fighting to free its abducted citizens who are willfully held hostage by a terrorist group if it were in Israel’s position, or would it rather expect them to help it seek immediate and unconditional release of the hostages, which would then bring about a natural end to all hostilities?
Religion is the deadliest weapon in Jehovah/Allah arsenals against true humanity, and he heartlessly wields it against his most trusting devotees
Isreal is Pro-Life
One thing is evident in this specific conflict, Israel is pro-life, while Hamas, being a terrorist group, is in the business of indiscriminately killing and horrifying people; it does not even care about Palestinian lives whom it pretends to be fighting to liberate. Nothing in Hamas’ consistent attitude and protracted activities in Gaza shows that it has interest of the overall wellbeing of Palestinian people at heart. Hamas knows how ardently Israel loves and values the lives of its citizens and would go to any length to retrieve any of them from forced captivity, even if it is just one person. On 18 October 2011, Israel exchanged a total of 1027 Palestinian prisoners for just 1 Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, held hostage by Hamas. So, Hamas’ senseless attack of October 7, 2023 and the taking of defenseless Israeli civilians as hostages was clearly intentional and confrontational, and it knew exactly what Israel’s response would be.
The surest way to bring the war to an immediate end, therefore, is for Hamas to immediately and unconditionally release all the remaining 136 hostages that it still holds in its terror tunnels. Hamas knows that truth very well. So, any nation, agency or institution that is genuinely interested in seeing an immediate end to the ongoing hostilities in Gaza and Israel should focus its efforts on finding a way to convince Hamas to immediately do the needful.
The Root Problem
That brings me to the root cause of the unending armed conflicts between Arabs, Israelis, and customary Christians within Jerusalem and its environs. Jehovah/Allah is the one thing that unites these three-sister religious sects; he is also the one thing that willfully tears them apart. Is it not ironic that the Jews, customary Christians, and Muslims worship the same Jehovah/Allah who resides permanently on the Temple/Dome of the Rock/Al-Aqsa Mosque mount in Jerusalem, while happily inciting and watching them slaughter one another in his name? He planted the seed of extreme hatred and mutual distrust amongst the peoples through their scriptural verses, sustains the same, and feeds on the ghastly outcomes for the sinister reason I already stated above.
For instance, Jehovah/Allah once called Israelites “apple of his eyes,” and said to them, “You must destroy all the nations Jehovah your God hands over to you. Show them no mercy, and do not worship their gods, or they will trap you. The same Jehovah/Allah is today telling the Muslims that Israelites and Christians are infidels and should be wiped out from the face of the earth: “O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. … Your friend can be only Allah; and His messenger and those who believe, … Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture [Jews and Christians] as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day,… lo! the party of Allah, they are the victorious.” [Zach 2:8; Deut 7:16; Quran 5:51,55; 9:29; 5:56] In simple words, Jehovah/Allah is affirming to the Muslims that Jews and Christians do not belong to “the party of Allah.” He will most certainly raise another chosen people in the future and incite them to help him wipe out the Muslims. Indeed, Jehovah/Allah can never be trusted.
Religion is the deadliest weapon in Jehovah/Allah arsenals against true humanity, and he heartlessly wields it against his most trusting devotees. And he has continued to achieve his evil desires through the nihilistic religious ideologies and unattainable dreams that he has instilled in the Jews, customary Christians, and Muslims. While the Jews look forward to building the “Third Temple” and restoring Temple Worship to Jehovah in Jerusalem, customary Christians long for the “New Jerusalem” that Jehovah promises, where he will finally become King over all the earth and where the lion will eat dried grass like the cow, and Muslims are willingly paying with their wealth and their own lives in attempt to terrorize and slaughter all infidels to “Islamize the whole world” and make religion one only for Jehovah/Allah.
Ignorance is the root of all human weaknesses. Jehovah/Allah effectively manipulates that to enslave and keep the Jews, customary Christians, and Muslims permanently at each other’s throats while being cocooned in their respective religious vanity fair. But I say emphatically here to these unfortunate religious victims of Jehovah/Allah that he is just a fraud. He says clearly in Quran 3:54 that he is “the best of schemers.” He has absolutely nothing of spiritual value to offer any of his religious devotees who fight his evil cause on earth, but “terror, pit, and snare;” unending insecurity, devastation, misery, pain, and ultimately eternal spiritual death. He habitually uses and dumps his so-called “chosen peoples.”
Eyes on the True Solution
I say to the Israelis that hoping to build the “Third Temple” for Jehovah/Allah on the Temple mount is an impossible dream. The heavenly Christ has already sacked Jehovah’s Temple and Temple Worship forever, just as he sacked his Edenic para-Hades forever. Neither Jehovah’s Garden of Eden nor his Jewish Jerusalem Temple will ever exist again on this earth. When Jesus Christ said, “I have overcome the world,” he meant that “It is finished” for Jehovah/Allah in every sense of the word. The whole world is rather eagerly waiting for the direct descendants of Adam and Eve to finally see the true light, turn around, receive Jesus Christ as Adam and Eve did, and trounce Jehovah/Allah as they did. Only then will they allow Jesus Christ to build the Father’s true temple in their hearts so that they will truly become a blessing to the whole world. Right now, they are not. Only then will the Jews and Israelis find genuine peace all around them. Jesus Christ is right now still saying to the lost sons of Adam, “Would that even today you knew the things that make for peace! But now they are hid from your eyes [by Jehovah/Allah].” … “Behold, your house is forsaken and desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Father.’” [Luke 19:42; Matt 23:38-39]
Customary Christians are equally in limbo presently, waiting for Jehovah to suddenly conjure a “New Jerusalem” from the sky that the streets would be made of gold. That is like believing that Jehovah/Allah would finally invent a real paradise on this wonky planet Earth when he cannot even remedy or control minor flaws that exist within his present world order. That is the worst kind of religious daydreaming. Jesus Christ promises his true disciples outright spiritual exodus to a true heavenly paradise. Jehovah/Allah is just a schemer and schemers always talk big and accomplish zilch. History shows clearly that Jehovah/Allah cannot be trusted; none of the unsolicited flamboyant promises he made to Abraham and his descendants were ever fulfilled, and he does not feel ashamed about it. He simply does not have the wherewithal to invent anything worthwhile on planet Earth or anywhere else in space.
Islamic belief system on the other hand, is easily the lowest that enlightened humankind can ever sink toward outright religious psychosis. Believing that heartlessly terrorizing, horrifying, and slaughtering harmless fellow human beings in the name of sheer nihilistic religious ideology just to intimidate the whole world into accepting that bloodthirsty Jehovah/Allah is the Greatest is pure insanity. Calling it a Holy War and hoping that it will bring Muslims anything of real value, either in this life or in the day after, is the crudest and most irrational belief system in our present civilized world. Such barbaric mindset places Islamic religion in the same timeline with the Aztecs of 1300 to 1521 who ripped out palpitating hearts from their fellow human beings and showed them to the Sun God believing that they were helping to keep the sun moving across the sky to preserve their own lives. Incidentally, Aztecs’ Sun God is none other than the same bloodthirsty Jehovah/Allah of our today’s world who tells Muslims that people of other religions are all infidels that should be mercilessly massacred to help him become God over one universal religion of Islam.
No doubt, Islamic jihadist mentality is the worst blight on the spiritual evolution of modern man. That such a mindset exists in our present civilized world is a big shame. But I must say emphatically to Muslims here that total “Islamization of the whole world” is practically impossible, especially because Islam possesses and offers no reasonable or valuable selling point, but relies entirely on violence, horror, tears, and blood. Islamic jihadism already contains the seeds of its own ultimate destruction. If Muslims doubt that, they should pip into the annals of progressive human history to convince themselves that true humanity always triumphs over barbarism. Besides, if Jehovah/Allah is truly the Greatest, he would not be permanently disgruntled, wrathful, vengeful, and desperate, and he would be able to attract followers naturally without resorting to terror tactics via hired Islamic headhunters.
Indeed, ignorance and religion are the deadliest follies of our present age of enlightenment. They destroy our defenses as a civilized species and lead us blinded and in chains to the slaughter slabs of Jehovah/Allah who has always been the self-confessed archenemy of true humanity. Is it surprising that whatever Jehovah/Allah is saying to Islamic jihadists today about Holy War and mercilessly slaughtering people of other religions, he had already said to the Jews and to the murderous Roman Catholic Church fathers, Crusaders, and Inquisitors in the past?
Reflections of the Past
The two Bible verses shown below capture just minute accounts of some of the grave atrocities that the nation of Israel committed against innocent peoples who did them no harm, under the leadership of Moses and as commanded by Jehovah:
Deut 7:1-6(NLT) — “When Jehovah your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and occupy, he will clear away many nations ahead of you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These seven nations are greater and more numerous than you. When Jehovah your God hands these nations over to you and you conquer them, you must completely destroy them. Make no treaties with them and show them no mercy. You must not intermarry with them. Do not let your daughters and sons marry their sons and daughters, for they will lead your children away from me to worship other gods. Then the anger of the Lord will burn against you, and he will quickly destroy you. This is what you must do. You must break down their pagan altars and shatter their sacred pillars. Cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols. For you are a holy people, who belong to Jehovah your God. Of all the people on earth, Jehovah your God has chosen you to be his own special treasure.”
Num 31:7-18 — “They [Israelites] warred against Mid’ian, as Jehovah commanded Moses, and slew every male. They slew the kings of Mid’ian with the rest of their slain, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Mid’ian; and they also slew Balaam the son of Be’or with the sword. And the people of Israel took captive the women of Mid’ian and their little ones; and they took as booty all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods. All their cities in the places where they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burned with fire, and took all the spoil and all the booty, both of man and of beast. Then they brought the captives and the booty and the spoil to Moses, and to Elea’zar the priest, and to the congregation of the people of Israel, at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, who had come from service in the war. Moses said to them, ‘Have you let all the women live? Behold, these caused the people of Israel, by the counsel of Balaam, to act treacherously against Jehovah in the matter of Pe’or, and so the plague came among the congregation of Jehovah. Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.”
Attrocities of Roman Catholic Church fathers, Crusaders, and Inquisitors against true Jewish disciples of Jesus Christ are equally well-documented in modern history books. History has it that following complete destruction of the city of Jerusalem in 70 AD and erection of a new Roman city called Aelia Capitolina (Colonia Aelia Capitolina) on the ruins, a temple was built to Jupiter Capitolinus (King of the Gods or Sun God or ‘shining father’) right on the Temple Mount where Jehovah dwells to all eternity. And the Jews were banished from the town under pain of death, except for one day each year, during the holiday of Tisha B’Av. That became an annual fast day when the Jews commemorated their unending national calamities in the hands of Jehovah, which included among others, the mass starvation, agonies and merciless massacre of all the Jews in the wilderness that started the Jewish Exodus from Egypt, the weeping and utter disappointment of the surviving younger generation of Jewish Exodus at first realizing, following report of the twelve spies sent into the so-called Promised Land by Moses in 1504 BC, that Jerusalem was actually a land that devoured its inhabitants; the destruction of Solomon’s Temple by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC and the destruction of the second Temple by Titus in 70 AD. [Number 14:1; 2 Kings 25:9; Luke 21:20] The day has also become associated with remembrance of other major calamities that Jehovah/Allah has willfully brought upon the Jewish people, “some kinnot (sad poems) also recall events such as the murder of the Ten Martyrs by the Romans; expulsions from England, Spain, and elsewhere; massacres of numerous medieval Jewish communities by Crusaders; and the Holocaust.” 1 Aelia Capitolina remained official name of Jerusalem until 638 AD when Jehovah/Allah smoothly handed over the city and the Temple Mount to Muslims.
With the banishment of Jews from Jerusalem and its environs, old Jewish Christian community that essentially comprised true followers of Jesus Christ were effectively disbanded and replaced with customary Christian church of Greek speaking origin. Once the takeover was consolidated, with custodians of the true gospel of Jesus Christ conveniently driven underground and contained, the time for mopping up remnants of true disciples of Jesus Christ ensued. Voices of reason were hunted down, maliciously libeled heretics, witches, apostates, and the like. By that time Jehovah already had ready and ruthless land armies for the next line of his wicked agenda. He banked on customary Christian headhunters, which included brutish Roman Catholic popes, murderous Church fathers, bloodthirsty customary Christian Crusaders, Colonists, and Inquisitors, to help him become what he was not and never could become.
Armed with both the Bible and the sword as weapons of spiritual colonization, customary Christianity spread like wildfire all over the world, promoting Jehovah as God Almighty and preaching false gospel of Jesus Christ by employing aggressive evangelism, which involved persecutions, rapes, hangings, beheadings, burning alive at stakes, breaking people upon wheels, use of trained ‘blood hounds’ (dogs), deliberate mass poisonings, use of colonist-imported smallpox and other epidemics, forced enslavements, shooting to death and outright exterminations of true disciples of Jesus Christ, as well as peoples of other religions. History fully documented intense atrocities committed against peace-loving humanity, against true disciples of Jesus Christ, so-called pagans, so-called witches, outspoken philosophers, Jewish people, and native peoples of the New World colonies by ruthless agents of Roman Catholic Church of Jehovah.
Accounts of the Crusades of 1095-1291 alone reveal that hundreds of thousands of true Christ disciples, Jews, and Muslims were massacred, including men, women, and children. In the words of one witness: “There (in front of Solomon’s temple) was such a carnage that our people were wading ankle-deep in the blood of our foes,” and after that “happily and crying for joy our people marched to our Savior’s tomb, to honor it and to pay off our debt of gratitude” The Archbishop of Tyre, who was also an eye-witness, wrote: “It was impossible to look upon the vast numbers of the slain without horror; everywhere lay fragments of human bodies, and the very ground was covered with the blood of the slain. It was not alone the spectacle of headless bodies and mutilated limbs strewn in all directions that roused the horror of all who looked upon them. Still more dreadful was it to gaze upon the victors themselves, dripping with blood from head to foot, an ominous sight which brought terror to all who met them. It is reported that within the Temple enclosure alone about ten thousand infidels perished.” [Victims of the Christian Faith by Kelsos] What else should one add to all these in trying to define the rapacious spirit behind Roman Catholicism and everything it represented? The same murderous spirit from Jehovah/Allah first infested the Israelites, then the Roman Catholic Church of Jehovah, and now the rampaging Islamic jihadists who are devoid of any humanity expected of a truly civilized species.
Reflections on the Present
Finally, let me return to the Palestinian question. The Palestinian issue is far more complicated and deep-rooted than political analysts will ever understand. People who judge on the surface of it will conclude that it is merely a land dispute. While they may be technically correct, it is a unique kind of land dispute with a complex background. On the surface too, it is a religious war masterminded by Islamic Republic of Iran, between radical Islam and the civilized world order. Iran and its proxy Islamic terror jihadist groups, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Hezbollah, Houthis, and other so-called ‘axis of resistance’ consider it a holy war, which the strange inner voice in them assures them will bring about outright annihilation of Israel. Of course, dreaming of annihilating Israel is the kind of dream that always boomerangs on those who dream it. Great empires that dreamed that dream in the past, are nowhere to be found today—Assyrian, Babylonian, Greek and Roman. Israelites are direct spiritual descendants of Adam and Eve; they are rather the ones who will bring about the definite end of this world of Jehovah/Allah. Jesus Christ once reminded the world that “The stone [Adam] that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.” And then he affirmed that “Everyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on.” [Luke 20:17-18(NLT)] Nevertheless, the intractable Palestine-Israeli-Arab conflict that has raged on since 1948 is the culminating localized outburst of Jehovah/Allah’s bottled-up grudges toward Adam and Eve and their posterity, in respect of his utter defeat in Eden. It is a battle between light and darkness, between good and evil, that goes far back to the unfinished battle of Eden. Let me explain this further.
In the beginning, Jehovah/Allah schemed to keep lower humans eternally in the dark to make it easy to dominate and rule over them. Adam and Eve demolished his pipedream with the help of the heavenly Christ and set humanity free from onset of forced ignorance, and Jehovah/Allah has remained terminally disgruntled and frustrated ever since. For over thirteen millennia Jehovah/Allah sought a way to infiltrate Adam’s family tree that bore allegiance to our Exalted Heavenly Father to exact revenge against them. Eventually, he succeeded in abducting Abram, a bona fide son of Adam, and proceeded to raise a tangible tribe of Adam’s posterity through him, upon whom to permanently take out his bottled-up indignation and vengeance against Adam and Eve. He also masterfully used him to raise another tribe of people through Ishmael so that in the future, he would easily set the two distinct lineages of his biological descendants as permanent stumbling blocks for each other. Jehovah/Allah never had any affection for the man, Abram; on the contrary, he treated Abram and Sarah with so much derision, made mockery of their childlessness and ultimately asked Abram to slaughter Sarah’s child of agony. Religious believers interpret Jehovah/Allah’s premeditated callousness toward Abram and Sarah as a test of faith, but Abram, Sarah and Isaac felt the full agony of Jehovah/Allah’s heartlessness. And he did not even pretend to Abram about the evil plans he already had for his descendants after him. “Then Jehovah said to Abram, “Know of a surety that your descendants will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and will be slaves there, and they will be oppressed for four hundred years,” meaning he would continue to torment descendants of Adam after him. [Gen 15:13] So, Abram was a victim, not a willing believer in Jehovah/Allah.
The Jewish Exodus from Egypt was a gory tale of a people taken hostage, tormented, and massacred in some desolate land by their own god and savior. Of a whole population of Israelites that Jehovah/Allah rescued from stage-managed captivity in Egypt, only 2 persons, Joshua and Caleb, reached the so-called Promised Land. And since that ill-fated Exodus, Jehovah/Allah has persistently raised intolerable enemy tribes and nations against the Jewish people all over the world. He has willfully subjected them to unending bitter hatred and hostility in the hands of peoples and nations, to pogroms, exiles, terror attacks, Holocaust, Intifadas; destructions, weeping, emotional agonies, pains, and deaths have remained the standard legacies of Jehovah/Allah’s love for them. No other tribe or nation in entire human history has ever been so permanently persecuted, hated, tormented, and massacred all over the world as the Israelites, be it physically, emotionally, or spiritually. In fact, on the calamitous day in 70 AD when Jehovah/Allah used the Roman army, led by General Titus, to destroy the Jewish homeland in Jerusalem, including his own magnificent Jewish Temple, he effectively crushed what was left of Jewish national morale and religious self-esteem. On that day, cries of ‘Ichabod!’ were heard from battered Jews all over the murderous city of Jerusalem, meaning “glory of Jehovah had finally departed from the Jews.” History has it that Titus refused to rejoice about his victory over the Jews, saying that there is “no merit in vanquishing people forsaken by their own God.”
But even though Jehovah/Allah says and makes it clear that he is the one tormenting the Jews, they have continued to believe that he means well for them. Even when Jesus Christ tells the Jews in simple words that they are in bondage to Jehovah/Allah and that he is a fraud, a murderer, a liar, and their archenemy, they still think of themselves as his ‘chosen people.’ “You are of your father [Jehovah] the devil,” Jesus Christ tells them. … “He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” However, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.… For “if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” But the Jews’ argument has always been, “We are descendants of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to anyone.” [John 8:44,31-32,36,33]
So, there is no doubt that Jehovah/Allah has an everlasting grouse with the Jews simply because they are direct descendants of Adam and Eve. Yet he shamelessly needed the Jews to endorse his false claim of being a God Almighty, which would have enabled him to enthrone himself upon the false throne of the world to dominate and rule over ignorant human beings forever. But, despite his endless bully tactics aimed at muffling the light of the heavenly Christ in the grand sons of Adam and Eve and breaking their spiritual resolve, the Jews remain eternally beyond Jehovah/Allah’s spiritual league. According to James 4:2, Jehovah/Allah “wants what he does not have, so he schemes and kills to get it. He is jealous of what others have, but he cannot get it, so he fights and wages war to take it away from them [by force].”
Although Jehovah/Allah succeeded in making Abraham surrender to him and to disown his noble father Adam, he has endlessly failed to subdue and transform the grandsons of Adam into “slaves of Allah” because the heavenly Christ had walked amongst them, and they witnessed the difference firsthand. Quran 9:114 reports that Abraham eventually betrayed the legacies of Adam his father because of unfulfillable promises of material aggrandizement that Jehovah/Allah made to him: “The prayer of Abraham for the forgiveness of his father was only because of a promise he [Jehovah/Allah] had promised him, but when it had become clear unto him that he (his father, Adam) was an enemy to Allah he (Abraham) disowned him. Lo! Abraham was soft of heart, lone suffering.” But concerning the Jews and true Christians, Quran 3:19 and 5:14 confirms that Jehovah/Allah has already accepted defeat: “Lo! religion with Allah (is) The Surrender (to His will and guidance). Those who (formerly) received the Scripture [the Jews] differed only after knowledge came unto them [from Jesus Christ], … “And with those who say: ‘Lo! we are Christians,’ We made a covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were admonished. Therefor We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Resurrection.” Herein lies the root cause of the intractable Palestinian-Israeli conflicts that yielded the senseless Hamas’ terror attack on innocent Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023.
The "Ultimate" Solutions?
“Announce to my new people,” he said to Ezra, “that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I had planned to give to Israel. I will take the dazzling light [the thick darkness] of my presence away from Israel and will give to my new people the eternal Temple [Mount] that I had prepared for Israel.” [2 Esd 2:10-11 (GNB)]
When it had become obvious to Jehovah/Allah that no amount of famine, wars, exiles, pogroms, or Holocaust that he brought upon the Jews could help him to beat them into the Ultimate Muslims—slaves of Allah—that he desired, he made prophet Ezra proclaim officially that he was moving over to a “new chosen people”—the sons of Ishmael. “Announce to my new people,” he said to Ezra, “that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I had planned to give to Israel. I will take the dazzling light [the thick darkness] of my presence away from Israel and will give to my new people the eternal Temple [Mount] that I had prepared for Israel.” [2 Esd 2:10-11 (GNB)]
So, what is or are the ultimate solution(s) to the Palestinian question? First and foremost, Jews and Arabs are biological descendants of Abraham; they are blood brothers and would have been the best of friends if Jehovah/Allah had not reared his ugly evil head in their family affairs. In fact, Jehovah/Allah sowed the seed of hatred between the two innocent brothers as far back as the day he cajoled Abraham to send away the bona fide first fruit of his loins emptyhanded into the harsh desert of Beersheba. Israelites and Ishmaelites are both victims of an evil God. With the right knowledge and brand-new mindset, they should be able to forgive and reconcile with one another, and team up against Jehovah/Allah who has caused, and still causes them so much pain.
In my humble opinion, therefore, ‘two-state’ solution is ideal and most reasonable, providing genuine forgiveness, and mutual respect, cooperation, and security are guaranteed by both peoples. Palestinians and Israelis should willingly apply humanitarianism toward mutually resolving artificial bottlenecks deliberately created for them by the one they have both revered as their God. They should rise above the manipulated history of the specific geographical territory called Palestine rather than trying to twist the narratives to favor their respective stance. There are some in both cultures who call for annihilation of the other and that is not reasonable at all. Also, the notion held by most Palestinians, Iran and some other Islamic nations that Israelis are occupiers, meaning that they do not have a place on the said piece of land, is both untrue and unhelpful. This notion was the main reason why Palestine rejected the two-state solution proposed by UNGA Resolution 181 of 1947, and still rejects any attempt at rekindling the two-state solution.
Ample Biblical and historical evidence exist, which prove that the geographical enclave called Palestine is the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity. One of Jehovah/Allah’s infamous weapons of humiliation against the Jews was exile or expulsion. Following the destruction of the first Jewish. Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BC, Nebuchadnezzar exiled the Jews from the Kingdom of Judea and held them as captives in Babylon. King Cyrus the Great of Persia (present-day Iran) returned the Jews to Jerusalem in 538 BC, and they were able to rebuild the temple on its original site on the Temple mount by 515 BC. The second Jewish Temple built by Herod the king, was equally destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD and the Jews were forced into a longer exile that lasted almost 2000 years till the 1948 when the new state of Israel was once again proclaimed in the territory. But while majority of the Jews were expelled by the Romans, many remained and have always been present in the Jewish homeland. Thus, before 1948, the geographical territory known as Palestine, was home to a diverse population of Arabs, Jews, and customary Christians who had natural religious tie with Jehovah/Allah who dwells in Jerusalem. According to Zachary Foster, in his doctoral dissertation, “Most scholars believe the Roman Emperor Hadrian changed the provincial administrative name of Judaea to Palestine to erase the Jewish presence in the land,” which agreed with Jehovah/Allah’s express plan of stripping Israelites of all the promises he made to them and transferring them to their lost blood brothers whom he called his “new chosen people,” the Arab Muslims.
When it had become obvious to Jehovah/Allah that no amount of famine, wars, exiles, pogroms, or Holocaust that he brought upon the Jews could help him to beat them into the Ultimate Muslims—slaves of Allah—that he desired, he made prophet Ezra proclaim officially that he was moving over to a “new chosen people”—the sons of Ishmael. “Announce to my new people,” he said to Ezra, “that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I had planned to give to Israel. I will take the dazzling light [the thick darkness] of my presence away from Israel and will give to my new people the eternal Temple [Mount] that I had prepared for Israel.” [2 Esd 2:10-11 (GNB)] Thus, when, in 638 AD Caliph ‘Umar I invaded and took over Jerusalem effortlessly, it was obvious to the Jews that Jehovah/Allah had done it. He even compelled the Jews to assist the Muslims in clearing the Temple Mount for their official take over. And with the subsequent erection of the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque right on the Temple Mount between 685 AD and 705 AD, Jehovah/Allah officially severed his eternal covenant with the Israelites and confirmed Ishmaelites as the new custodians of his eternal dwelling place, which was his way of saying that he was technically still true to Abraham. With his “new chosen people,” he naturally adopted a new name “Allah.” And that is why I generally refer to him as Jehovah/Allah.
In Summary
As we have seen, Jehovah/Allah has always been a terrible influence on the Jews, customary Christians, and Muslims. Therefore, mutual hatred and distrust between Palestinians and Israelis is not natural, the whole region and its peoples are under the evil spell of Jehovah/Allah who dwells eternally amongst them there in Jerusalem. In fact, the whole world is under the evil spell of Jehovah/Allah who dwells eternally in thick darkness. The Bible affirms that Jehovah/Allah permanently “shrouds himself in darkness” and “has said that he would [continue to] dwell in thick darkness,” obviously “because his deeds are evil.” [Psalm 18:11(NLT); 1 Kings 8:12; John 3:19] So, the ultimate solution will be for both Israelis and Palestinians to knowingly embrace truth, mutual respect, love, peace, and genuine reconciliation. But they can never achieve that while still allowing Jehovah/Allah to dominate their lives. They both need to discover and accept Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, for only he can restore genuine love, mutual trust, peace of mind and genuine reconciliation amongst them; Jehovah/Allah’s religions of mutual hatred and violent antagonism must be knowingly rejected and thrown overboard for the good of the two lost and found brothers.
So, the real conflict is spiritual; it is a battle between darkness and light, between Jehovah/Allah who dwells eternally in darkness and Jesus Christ who is “the light that enlightens every man.” Palestinians and Israelis must recognize the eternal value of mutual love and peaceful coexistence and therefore, fight the battle together as a team on the side of light. My candid advice, therefore, is that they should genuinely pursue a peaceful resolution to all their disagreements. The land area mysteriously called Palestine is not too small to contain the two blood brothers. In fact, no land is too small to share and inhabit peaceably where there is mutual respect, tolerance, love, peace, and goodwill, even by people of most diverse cultures. Hatred and violence always create bitter devastations and more hatred; they never bring about genuine resolution to any problem, which is why all wars always end at negotiation tables. And the earlier, the better for them! According to Martin Luther King Jr., “Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” Besides, “Hate is too great a burden to bear.” Jesus Christ is the light and love they both need to find to enjoy genuine peace, progress, and mutual prosperity going forward.
