It is not Israel's imaginary prophecies but Gaza's word that comes true

It has almost become one of the routines of the month of Ramadan for genocidal, occupying Israel to spread terror on some pretext by attacking Al-Aqsa Mosque, Gaza or the West Bank. It does not need a pretext, a justification or a reason for this. Israel is a self-driven aggressor. It draws that drive from the Torah, which it betrayed by distorting it, or from its own interpretation of the Torah. Yesterday morning, breaking the ceasefire agreed on 19 January, it launched savage, bestial attacks on refugee camps in the Gaza Strip, in which nearly 450 Gazans, most of them children and women, were martyred and more than 500 were wounded. In fact, this aggression of Israel had been visibly coming for days.

After a certain stage of the ceasefire agreement, Israel began demanding that Hamas release all the captives in its hands. This was a demand that was not in the terms of this agreement; it was a newly invented demand and, of course, itself a violation of the ceasefire agreement. It was Israel itself that violated the terms of the ceasefire. Apart from the prisoner exchange that was to be carried out in the first phase under the agreement, it was Israel that complied with none of the conditions.

According to the agreement, through a three-stage process of 42 days each, the release of thousands of Palestinian detainees, about 600 of them sentenced to life imprisonment, was envisaged in return for the release of all Israeli detainees, living or dead.

At the same time, it also provided for a permanent ceasefire after the second stage, the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the provision of large quantities of humanitarian aid consisting of food, water, fuel, tents and medical supplies. In addition, Gaza was to be rebuilt within five years. Taking this reconstruction plan seriously, the Arab League met in Cairo and even drew up a financing plan of 53 billion dollars for the reconstruction.

However, even though Hamas complied with all the conditions, Israel allowed only 15 thousand of the 60 thousand containers agreed to enter Gaza in the first stage, and permitted the entry of very little of the other humanitarian aid. This was in itself a violation of the agreement, but Hamas, unfortunately, had no card in its hand other than halting the prisoner exchange.

Israel once again showed that its word can never be trusted and that a promise means nothing to it. It showed that even while making an agreement, even if it readily gives promises as a way of stalling the other side, it has in its mind no intention whatsoever of keeping that promise.

The conditions that forced Israel into the agreement were the rescue of the hostages, and it is clear that, were it not for the hostages, it would carry the dimensions of the genocide against the people of Gaza much further with far heavier aerial bombardment. In the ground war Israel suffered a total rout. It cannot even keep count right now of what the adventure it embarked upon has cost it. But in air attacks it recognizes no limits, and there appears to be no obstacle that would deter it in this.

The favor the Trump administration showed Netanyahu during his visit to the United States seems to have given him complete assurance about everything he can do. Indeed, after yesterday's attack, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the United States had prior knowledge of Israel's attacks on the Gaza Strip and said that Israel had consulted the White House and the Trump administration about the attacks. Thus, together with Trump's earlier statements, she has in a way registered the complicity of the US administration in the genocide we are witnessing in Gaza.

That someone like Trump, who stands out for his extreme rationality about American interests, joins this complicity in crime, which absolutely damages the interests of the United States in every respect, has of course nothing to do with rationality. Frankly, just as the motivation for all these crimes against humanity by Israel is its own twisted theological understanding, the only motivation for Trump's reckless and unlimited support for such an aggression, for such a harmful entity, despite all his irrationality, is none other than the same twisted theological understanding. This theological approach determines friend and foe, ally and adversary, according to this theological understanding. Of course, the sophistry of the Promised Land, which is by now a secret to no one, is something Trump and the entire American ruling elite believe in with their Evangelical faith in complete reverence. These attitudes and behaviors of theirs in fact correspond very closely to the reports and descriptions the Holy Qur'an gave about them.

They act under the delusion that, according to the book they have distorted, these lands have been promised to them, and according to this imaginary religion of theirs they regard it as legitimate, even as an obligation, to destroy the people on these lands together with their children, their elderly, their women, even all the animals and plants they own. We always say it: this attitude of theirs is a scandal hard to believe in our age's world, which claims secularism and laicism, but it is just as real. They market secularism to the world while clinging tightly to the twisted, imaginary religion they believe in themselves. Moreover, those religions promise other people neither peace, nor tranquility, nor well-being. They promise only destruction, genocide, massacres, deceit and exploitation. This is precisely the difference between Islam, which commands that even in war no harm be done to civilians, women, children, the elderly and those who do not bear arms, and these twisted religions.

It is not their words about Islam but Islam's words about them that are true. By following the religion they invented with their twisted books and the prophets they killed, they plunge the earth into corruption. Islam, on the other hand, wants to repair this disrupted balance of the world and to make the world a place of peace and well-being that can be lived in not only for Muslims but for all people of faith. Everything the Qur'an says about these corrupters is coming true today, as it did in the past. They are liars, they do not keep their word, they never observe their trusts, they are corrupters and enemies of humanity, but at the same time they are cowards: they never dare to fight without being behind great shelters and without thick shields in their hands to protect them; they claim to be God's chosen servants but never yearn to meet God through death, and they are passionately attached to life, wishing to live a thousand years. But they will never escape the inevitable end.

Islam's word about them will come true, and not their words about Muslims.
