Silence Fuels Zionist Monstrosities in Gaza

Scripture should be a sanctuary of moral clarity, not a battlefield for ideological conquest. Yet in the hands of political Zionism, sacred texts are frequently recast to justify territorial ambition, exclusion, and violence.

Verses ripped from historical context become weapons of convenience, twisted to defend the indefensible. The line between faith and nationalism grows ever thinner, and as it blurs, so too does accountability.

Though secular, Zionism often consults Jewish scriptures in an attempt to justify its illegal existence and equally illegal objectives and agendas. They know that such is possible because those scriptures have repeatedly failed the tests of time, bearing the brunt of the recurring intellectual, spiritual, and socio-political ignominies of the Jews throughout their turbulent history.

The scriptures are thus fluid and open-ended, being susceptible to various readings and endless (mis)interpretations. Zionists are aware that neither rationality nor common sense would take sides with them; such is the level of the diabolism of their mission. The only option left, it follows, is the unfailing strategy of using religion as the opium of the masses.

The best proof of this is that the Jewish Bible is also the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, making up roughly 75% of it. The New Testament accounts for only about 25%. This means that Judaism and Christianity, as two fundamentally different religions, share 75% of their scriptures, yet they exist, believing and practicing their different creeds, in two completely distinct worlds.

Nobody can deny that this is truly mind-boggling and rationally unacceptable. How is it possible? The reason is simple: incessant distortions, adjustments, and tweaking of scriptures, which in turn allow for manipulation and deception of logic.

Suddenly, spiritual enrichment and moral accountability began to wither in the face of emotional, nationalistic, and hedonistic deluges. All goodness and religious integrity had to take a backseat to low and immoral worldly concerns, blurring priorities and relativizing criteria.

Even the Qur'an reminds both Jews and Christians of these rationally troubling foundations of their respective religions. How can there be the same books, yet everything else stemming from them be different, ultimately leading to the creation of two dissimilar religions?

Allah says: "The Jews say: 'The Christians have nothing (to stand) upon;' and the Christians say: 'The Jews have nothing (to stand) upon.' Yet they (profess to) study the (same) Book" (al-Baqarah 113).

For this reason, Zionists are desperate to justify their ongoing crimes against humanity in Gaza by employing the worn-out and, frankly, boring falsehood of the eternally as well as unconditionally promised land in Palestine.

In addition, they refer to the people of Gaza as Amalekites, viewed as the archetypal enemy of the Jews near the land of Canaan (the Promised Land), which they believe must be wiped out. They also hold that the lives of Israelites (Jews) - as Almighty God's favorite nation - are the only ones that are inviolable.

From victims to victors

This is indeed strange because the history of Jews fluctuates between being victims and victors. With a mix of both experiences, Jews should have mastered, perhaps more than anyone else, the virtues of forbearance, compassion, humanity, and self-respect. However, aside from a few exceptions, this was not the case.

For example, no sooner had their status as victims in Egypt changed to freedom on the way to, and later victory in, the Promised Land than the majority of Jews rebelled against God and His prophets, trampling over the terms of all the covenants they had previously established. The same pattern continued when slavery in the Neo-Babylonian Empire-seen as a severe punishment from God for past misconduct-was replaced with liberty in the Promised Land.

This historically significant chapter ultimately culminated in the shocking mistreatment of John the Baptist and, according to Judeo-Christian narratives, in the humiliating crucifixion and death of Jesus.

Fast forward, the unfortunate idea and phenomenon of the Holocaust first occurred, which then indirectly led to the creation of the illegitimate geopolitical entity of Israel, involving the theft of Palestinian lands. The development sparked one of the longest and most brutal systematic oppressions of a nation in modern times, resulting in the current genocidal ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

Hence, one cannot help but cry out: O Jews, O Zionists! Where is the sanctity of life? The cry echoes through history, once raised in anguish from ghettos and death camps, now asked in reversal. Those who bore witness to suffering unmatched must ask themselves: has moral memory faded under the shadow of greed and power?

When the oppressed become powerful, what happens to empathy? When the unjustly treated assume power, what is the fate of justice? The sanctity of life is not selective-it cannot be bent to suit borders or beliefs. What is sacred must remain sacred, even when the mirror reflects ourselves.

The same cry can be extended to Christianity, considering that it is an outgrowth of Judaism, as well as to the US and England as the leaders of the institutionalized West, given that the spirit of the Judeo-Christian heritage runs through the veins of the West. If governments are criminal for supporting and sponsoring the Gaza genocide, why are the pulpits of synagogues, churches, colleges, universities, research institutes, and media outlets silent?

Where is the constant championing of human rights, justice, and standing behind the truth? In short, where is what is hypocritically called civilization rooted in enlightenment and humanity?

Is it because everyone has been hoodwinked or forced into believing Zionists? Is their influence so supreme that everyone is afraid to think and speak right? If that is the case, then things start making somewhat more sense.

Gaza, as the epitome of the Islamic religious and civilizational presence, and by extension all Muslims and the entire Islamic world, are the only enemies of both Zionism and the West for the simple reason that they are the only ones who genuinely champion and are ready to defend the truth-the same truth that Zionism, both Jewish and Christian, fight tooth and nail to distort beyond recognition and impose as part of a new devilish world order.

The clash thenceforth is no longer between the people of Gaza, led by the gallant fighters of Hamas, and the criminal Zionist state of Israel, but between truth and falsehood, and the forces of light and those of darkness. No wonder that the events unfolding in the region are slowly beginning to assume an apocalyptic character with each passing day.

Where is the universal recognition of life's sacredness?

The Qur'an proclaims: "Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption (done) in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.

And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, (even) after that, throughout the land, were transgressors" (al-Ma'idah 32). This verse is explicit that it had been ordained for Israelites that unjustly taking an innocent life - any life - is as great a sin as murdering all of mankind, and that saving a life is as great a virtue as saving all of mankind.

The principle was as understandable as it was expected, in that Israelites were honored with spiritual leadership in the world and were entrusted with setting standards for living righteously and responsibly.

However, one wonders as to the whereabouts of this precept, which - given the gravity of the context in which the Qur'an mentions it and of the issues dealt with therein - undoubtedly held a prominent position within the hierarchy of the Israelite precepts.

One frequently encounters the concept of killing in the Old Testament as either a prohibition or a punishment for certain crimes, such as murder (retributive justice), engaging in sexual intercourse with an animal, practicing occultism and black magic, engaging in same-sex relationships, and committing adultery, but there is no indication that a single innocent life holds the same value as the entire human race.

Taking everything into consideration, the said unambiguously definite precept must have been tampered with by Israelites, thereby enabling them to more readily twist and manipulate the generic prohibitions of murder. It also somewhat contributed to and facilitated the Christian fabrication that Jesus came to abolish the law of commandments and ordinances altogether.

The effects of distortion plots

That there was a serious distortion plot bear witness several accounts in the Babylonian Talmud, which is the textual record of generations of rabbinic debates about law, philosophy and biblical interpretation, and which was compiled in the 5 th century. One of those accounts is as follows: "If one carries out a precept, or observes one Sabbath, or preserves a soul, it is considered as if he had preserved the entire world. But he who transgresses once, or violates one Sabbath, or destroys one soul, is considered like unto one who has destroyed the entire world" (The Babylonian Talmud, Tract Aboth, Chapter Five).

It is also said: "One soul of an upright (that is, the soul of an Israelite) is equalized to the whole world - i.e. if one kills an upright, he is considered as if he would slay the whole world" (The Babylonian Talmud, Tract Sanhedrin, Chapter Nine).

These two accounts prove that Israelites were acquainted with the pivotal precept in question, but chose to relativize its importance and strip it of its sacredness. It also suggests that they employed cunning tactics to limit the precept's universal applicability and diminish, as well as privatize, its all-encompassing nature. Without a doubt, the precept stands as a fundamental aspect of the Israelite teachings, solely guiding the actions of the Israelite people and aiming at the preservation of their lives. Similar to the doctrines of Sabbath and other Jewish traditions, this precept, too, exhibits a strong sense of particularism, making the notion of sanctity of life a restricted and exclusive - i.e. Israelite - privilege. The focus is on the "upright" lives, which are the lives of Israelites.

The Israelite motives become even more apparent in two additional accounts from the Babylonian Talmud, solidifying the previous two accounts. The first account reads: "Therefore the man was created singly, to teach that he who destroys one soul of a human being, the Scripture considers him as if he should destroy a whole world, and him who saves one soul of Israel, the Scripture considers him as if he should save a whole world" (The Babylonian Talmud, Tract Sanhedrin, Chapter Four).

The second account states: "Lord of the Universe, You have said: 'He who preserves one soul of Israel is regarded (by Scripture) as if he preserved an entire world'" (The Babylonian Talmud, Tract Aboth, Chapter One).

Here the texts are more categorical about the context of the precept of saving human souls not being the entire earth, but the Promised Land of Israel only, and that the objective is not the lives of all human beings, but the lives of the members of the Israelite nation only.

Moreover, according to al-Maududi in his "Tafhim al-Qur'an", there are yet more explicit texts on the matter, such as: "To him who kills a single individual of Israel, it shall be reckoned as if he had slain the whole race, and he who preserves a single individual of Israel, he preserves the whole world." It is also recorded that a judge of the Israelites in a case of murder would warn the witness, saying: "To him who kills a single individual of Israel, it shall be reckoned as if he has slain the whole race."

The first quote by al-Maududi is from Mishnah, the first major work of rabbinic literature. Its complete original version is as follows: "Therefore but a single man was created in the world, to teach that if any man has caused a single soul to perish from Israel Scripture imputes it to him as though he had caused a whole world to perish; and if any man saves alive a single soul from Israel Scripture imputes it to him as though he had saved alive a whole world."

Some Jewish confessions

The last two extracts leave no room for doubt about the issue. Evidence of attempts to distort and promote an Israeli perspective - that is, to Israelify the truth - can be felt throughout.

However, that those are distorted, or, more precisely, interpolated, texts is not just a Muslim contention. There are also Jews who themselves feel inclined to making the same conclusion. Indeed, the conflicting narratives on such an important topic as the sanctity of human life raise serious questions and cause considerable confusion.

For example, the author of the article titled "The Origins of the Precept 'Whoever Saves a Life Saves the World'", which is published in the magazine "Mosaic, Advancing Jewish Thought", asks: "Which version of the precept is the original one? That is not a trivial question. It touches on the vexed issue of universalism and particularism in Jewish tradition and of the tension between them.

Was the 'Whoever saves a life' precept originally a universalistic one stressing the unity of the entire human race, and was it then narrowed by later tradition to include only Jews? Or was it originally a particularistic one referring only to Jews that was subsequently expanded (by Islam and Muslims) to include all of humanity?"

Quoting an authoritative Jewish source, the author is emphatic that differences in narratives are the result of an interpolation: "In an article published in 1971 in the Hebrew journal Tarbitz, the Israeli scholar of rabbinic thought Ephraim Urbach addressed this question by carefully comparing a large number of ancient and medieval rabbinic texts and manuscripts and their early print editions. His conclusions were clear-cut: the original version of the 'Whoever saves a life' precept was the one without the limiting phrase of 'in Israel,' which was a later interpolation."

How was that possible? In the author's opinion, the inclusion was partly a deliberate and partly a practical decision. Citing again his Jewish source, the author said: "At first, the words 'in Israel' were probably inserted because the situation discussed in Sanhedrin applied only to Jews; in Mishnaic times, Jewish courts in Palestine had no jurisdiction over Gentiles. In the course of time, the addition came to be regarded by many copyists and commentators as an intrinsic part of the precept, to which a more particularistic interpretation was then given."

The Gaza tragedy as an irrefutable testament

Zionists, who are responsible for the genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza, are considered the most despicable group among Israelites. They are the true and most faithful descendants of the segments of Israelites about whom the Qur'an reveals were the murderers of their prophets and saints, were cursed as epitomes of wrongdoing and mischief, and were consumed by jealousy and hatred when, on account of their especially spiritual crimes, God withdrew His favors from them and bestowed them on their brother nation: the Muslims.

Zionists, furthermore, are religious, historical, cultural and civilizational freaks, who have taken all the negativities associated with the problematic history and dogmas of Israelites to a whole new level. The two aspects that best fit the diabolical ambitions of the Zionism political ideology are the ideas that the Abrahamic Covenant was exclusive and unconditional, and that the notion of the sanctity of life applies solely to Israelites as God's beloved and chosen people.

The Gaza battleground became a site where the most contentious doctrines of Judaism, further misconstrued and misapplied by the hardcore Zionists, are put into effect. As a consequence, the innocent lives of the Palestinians, including children and the elderly, hold no value in the eyes of Zionists. Ignoring criticism from the "normal sections" of the international community, they persist in bombing entire Gaza neighborhoods, destroying everything in their path, and shattering the lives, dreams and hopes of the defenseless population.

While much of the world sees the actions of Zionists as a form of genocide, they perceive it as a holy struggle. While the world views the entire Israeli enterprise as a brutal occupation and a systematic program of ethnic cleansing, Zionists view it as liberation and the fulfilment of heavenly covenants.

Their intentions and objectives are so malicious (their hearts being worse than rocks in hardness, and their intelligence that of a fool - as the Qur'an depicts them) that they cannot align, nor be on the same wavelength, with anyone. It is as though we are reliving the ancient times when Israelites were against everyone and everyone - even God and His holy prophets - was against them, suffering from the consequences of their unceasing religious lapses and nationalistic follies.

Furthermore, Zionists are individuals who lack common sense and do not heed reason. They are heartless and emotionless. Their case is similar to that of a serial killer who leaves behind dead bodies wherever he goes. After that, he interacts with his family members, has dinner, and goes to bed as if nothing has happened.

Zionists never wonder if it is correct that they are the only one that is right and the whole world is wrong, if it is acceptable that a small bunch of them are superior and everyone else is inferior, and if it makes sense that they have a license to do whatever they want without ever being held accountable for their actions. They never wonder - as most of the world does -what god is that god who would sanction such a travesty and such a double standard, and what religion is that religion which would authorize, yet extol, such behavioral patterns.

Finally, Zionism represents the climax of the evolution of an ideology that originated from Judaism. Jesus often described the followers of such ideology as hypocrites, liars, betrayers of their father Abraham, murderers of prophets, and brothers of Satan. In other words, Zionists embody the most disreputable elements of Jewish history. They are the perfect archetype of this.
