1. SCRIPTURAL PALESTINE:
After the flood of Noah’s time, Noah’s three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, populated various parts of the world–(Genesis 10:1-31).  The descendants of Shem, which includes Jews and Muslims, are known as Shemites/ Semites. Whereas Abraham, Sarah, Isaac (Abraham and Sarah’s son) and Jacob (Isaac’s son) were Semites they were NOT Jews (Jews and Judaism originated from Judah, one of Jacob’s son, shown shortly).

Jacob, later renamed Israel by God–(Genesis 35:10), had twelve sons who formed the basis for the Twelve Tribes of Israel–(Exodus 1:1-5; Deuteronomy 27:12-13). The descendants of each of these twelve sons/tribe is identified by the head of his respective tribe –for example: the descendants of Judah are called Jews; the descendants of Levi are called Levites; the descendants of Benjamin are called Benjamites or Benjaminites….. And collectively, they are all known as Children of Israel (descendants of Jacob/Israel).
 Thus, whereas all these Twelve Tribes are “Children of Israel/Jacob”, all “Children of  Israel/Jacob” are not Jews or Levites, etc.

While a Gentile may convert to Judaism and he and his son(s) shall receive all the benefits of the religion-(Exodus 12:48–49; Ezekiel 47:21–23), a Gentile cannot become a Jew (of the tribe of Jacob/Judah). To be a “Jew” one has to be born in the lineage of Jacob/Judah.
   Judaism, as religion, is rooted in the House of Judah, the seat of material and spiritual power (kingship and prophethood): “JUDAH, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee….The SCEPTRE shall not depart from Judah, nor a LAWGIVER from between his feet, until Shiloh come and unto him shall the gathering of the people be”-(Genesis 49:8, 10. Shiloh will be discussed later). 
Aside from the fact that no one at present can identify himself as descendant of any of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, the current occupiers of Palestine who call themselves Jews are not Biblical Jews, they are descendants of European converts to Judaism. (Whereas Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are descendants of Noah’s son Shem, Europeans are descendants of Noah’s son, Japheth. They are GENTILES).

Which raises the question, since the current occupiers of Palestine are not descendants of Jacob/Judah how then do they claim that Palestine is their “ancestral homeland” when Jacob/Judah are not their ancestors?
  If one’s ancestor’s abode in a land is the criteria for the descendants to  demand statehood in that land, then, the descendants of slaves brought to America can demand statehoods in North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisiana etc; and the descendants of the Pilgrims that landed at Massachusetts Plymouth Rock in 1620 can return to England and demand statehood.

As noted above Jew and Judaism originated from the prophet Jacob/Judah. Thus, contrary to popular perception, Abraham, Sarah and Isaac who preceded Jacob, were not Jews or adherents of Judaism.
  By nationality, Abraham and Sarah were Chaldeans–Genesis 11:27, 31, 12:1; 15:7; Isaac was Canaanite–Genesis 20:1; 21:1-3;  Jacob also was Canaanite–Genesis 25:21-28. And religiously, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac and Jacob, as all prophets of God, were Muslims1.
   Jews know that God’s covenant was made with Abraham and Ishmael, so they falsified the Bible –effacing Ishmael’s name from two verses in the Book of Genesis and inserted Isaac’s name in its place, to glorify the Jewish branch of Abraham. (Details later).

“Palestine in the ancient world was part of the region known as Canaan where the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah were located. The term `Palestine’ was originally a designation of an area of land in southern Canaan which the people known as the Philistines occupied a very small part of.”
“The area contained the five cities (the Pentapolis) of the Philistine confederacy (Gaza, Ashkelon [Ascalon], Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron) and was known as Philistia, or the Land of the Philistines. It was from this designation that the whole of the country was later called Palestine by the Greeks.” (Google).

Abraham, from whom Jews (not to be confused with present-day occupiers of Palestine) and Muslims descended, came to Canaan around 2,000 BC. Canaanite presence in Canaan dates back about 4,000 BC. Palestinians/Philistines are the Arabized descendants of the Canaanites. Thus, Palestinians presence in Canaan predates that of Abraham, Jews and Muslims.

In Genesis 17:8; God says to Abraham: “And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee…all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession.” (Notably, and significantly, Ishmael also was the “seed” of Abraham. And  God’s promise was made with Abraham NOT with the Israelite. And as Prof. ‘Abdul Ahad Dawud explained, and shown further on, this promise of God to Abraham was fulfilled through the descendants of Ishmael–Muslims NOT Jews.

God says He had chosen the earlier Children of Israel because they were a “holy people,” that He “loved” them, and because He “would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers”–(Deuteronomy 7:6, 8; 10:15).
These earlier Israelites whom God “loved” were those preceding liberation from Pharaoh, as the later liberated ones from the time of their leaving Egypt were provocative, stiff-necked, and rebellious: “Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord”–(Deuteronomy 9:7; 31:27. And Exodus 33:3; Isaiah 65:2-3).
 These later Israelite were also “provocative” “rebellious” “treacherous” “transgressor,” and an “impudent children and stiff-hearted”–(Isaiah 65:2-3; Jeremiah 5:11, 23; Ezekiel 2:3-4; Hosea 5:3-7).

God’s promise was NOT made to the LATER Israelite who were stiff-necked, rebellious, and provocative–(Exodus 33:3; Deuteronomy 9:7; 31:27; Isaiah 65:2-3).
   God’s grace upon the later Israelite was dependent upon them keeping His commandment:  “Wherefore it shall come to pass, if you hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers”–(Deuteronomy 7:12. (One of this commandment was for them to follow the prophet like Moses, the Prophet Mohammad, details later).

To emphasize, these descendants of Abraham to receive God’s favor, refer to his early descendants who were righteous –Isaac, and Jacob. These descendants are NOT the later Israelite descended from the Twelve Tribes of Jacob/Israel that are described by God as being “stiff-necked” and “rebellious.”
These later Children of Israel/Jacob’s twelve sons being made to inhabit Canaan/Palestine under Joshua–(Joshua 6:21; 12:1-24) was only incidental: incidental through God fulfilling his promise to Abraham and his early descendants Isaac and Jacob; as evidenced by God Himself Who told the later Israelites that after they are brought into the land of the wicked nations that:

“Speak not in thine heart…saying, For my righteousness the Lord hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord doth drive them out from before thee….and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Understand therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.…from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious unto the Lord.” (Deuteronomy 9:4-7).

As clearly shown, God’s covenant was made with Abraham for Isaac and Jacob not with the Children of Israel/Jacob. These later descendants of Abraham (i.e. of the Twelve Tribes of Jacob/Israel) were made to inhabit Palestine despite their “stiffnecked”ness and “rebellion” and “provocation” only so that God could fulfill His word to Abraham and his early descendants who were the righteous ones.
And as noted, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were Muslims. God’s promise for Palestine to be an “everlasting” possession was made to MUSLIMS!

That Allah gave Jews Palestine for an inheritance is stated in the Qur’an: “And We made the people who were deemed weak to inherit the eastern lands and the western ones which We had blessed. And the good word of thy Lord was fulfilled in the Children of Israel giving Jews to inherit the holy land to fulfill His promise”–(Qur’an 7:137).
   Allah fulfilled His promise to Abraham by having the later Israelite “inherit” the land. However, Jews having “everlasting” possession of Palestine was contingent upon them following the Prophet Mohammad, as stated in verse 157 (Qur’an 7:157):
“Those who follow the Messenger-Prophet, the Ummi, whom they find mentioned in the Torah and the Gospel. He enjoins them good and forbids them evil, and makes lawful to them the good things and prohibits for them impure things, and removes from them their burden and the shackles which were on them. So those who believe in him and honour him and help him, and follow the light which has been sent down with himthese are the successful.
   Clearly, upon the arrival of Prophet Mohammad, Jews were/are mandated by Allah to follow him, at which time Jews would become Muslims and the continuing of the inheritance WITH THE DESCENDANTS OF ISHMAEL to the Resurrection.

Jews being commanded to follow Prophet Mohammad is mandated in the Bible. God said to Moses: “The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee (Israelites) a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me (Moses); unto him ye shall hearken,” “I…will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I WILL REQUIRE IT OF HIM”–(Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19. More on this later).

Jews having lost possession of Palestine for whatever reason -Jerusalem was destroyed around 580 BC and in 70 AD- Jews have no recourse to Palestine in the name of God.
   Aside from the fact that ancient Jews were given possession of Palestine only so that God could fulfill His promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, this possession of Palestine was only for a temporary period.
   Jesus foretold, Jews would lose possession: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate”-(Matthew 23:23-38. This was a scant 35 years before Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD).
Even if present-day occupiers of Palestine were Jews (descendants of Jacob/Judah) yet they would have no claim to Palestine, Divine or other.
   It was NOT God who gave “Jews” Palestine in 1947/48, it was America and the League of Nations that gave “Jews” Palestine! (Shown in chapter 2).

PALESTINE CONSECRATED:
The claim that Palestine was consecrated in the hands of Jews 3,000 years ago is Jewish grandstanding.

Aside from the fact that, religiously, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob were MUSLIMS (those who submit to the will of God; and there was no Jew at that time: Jew and Judaism came from Judah, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, and the religion of Judaism began with the Mosaic Law/Ten Commandments brought by Moses). Palestine was not consecrated in the hands of Isaac (Jews); Palestine was consecrated in the hands of Ishmael (Muslims). 
Professor ‘Abdul Ahad Dawud –the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani– explains in his revealing book Muhammad In The Bible:

“There are three distinct points which every true believer in God must accept as truths. The first point is that Ishmael is the legitimate son of Abraham, his firstborn, and therefore his claim to birthright is quite just and legal. The second point is that the Covenant was made between God and Abraham as well as his only son Ishmael before Isaac was born. The Covenant and the institution of the Circumcision would have no value or signification unless the repeated promise contained in the divine words, “Throughout thee all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,” and especially the expression, the Seed “that shall come out from the bowels, he will inherit thee” (Gen. xv. 4). This promise was fulfilled when Ishmael was born (Gen. xvi.), and Abraham had the consolation that his chief servant Eliezer would no longer be his heir. Consequently we must admit that Ishmael was the real and legitimate heir of Abraham’s spiritual dignity and privileges. The prerogative that “by Abraham all the generations of the earth shall be blessed,” so often repeated –though in different forms– was the heritage by birthright, and was the patrimony of Ishmael. The inheritance to which Ishmael was entitled by birth-right was not the tent in which Abraham lived or a certain camel upon which he used to ride, but to subjugate and occupy forever all the territories extending from the Nile to the Euphrates, which were inhabited by some ten different nations (Gen. xvii. 18-21). These lands have never been subdued by the descendants of Isaac, but by those of Ishmael. This is an actual and literal fulfilment of one of the conditions contained in the Covenant.

The third point is that Isaac was also born miraculously and specially blessed by the Almighty, that for his people the land of Canaan was promised and actually occupied under Joshua. ….

….The Jews have always been jealous of Ishmael because they know very well that in him the Covenant was made and with his circumcision it was concluded and sealed, and it is out of this rancour that their scribes or doctors of law have corrupted and interpolated many passages in their Scriptures. To efface the name “Ishmael” from the second, sixth, and seventh verses of the twenty-second chapter of the Book of Genesis and to insert in its place “Isaac,” and to leave the descriptive epithet “thy only begotten son” is to deny the existence of the former and to violate the Covenant made between God and Ishmael -(at no time was Isaac Abraham’s only son-NGBA). It is expressly said in this chapter by God: “Because thou didst not spare thy only begotten son, I will increase and multiply thy posterity like the stars and the sands on the seashore,” which word “multiply” was used by the Angel to Hagar in the wilderness: I will multiply thy offspring to an innumerable multitude, and that Ishmael “shall become a fruitful man” (Gen. xvi. 12. It is Muslims whose numbers are “like the stars and the sands on the seashore”–Gen. 22:17, NGBA). Now the Christians have translated the same Hebrew word, which means “fruitful” or “plentiful” from the verb para –identical with the Arabic wefera– in their versions “a wild ass”! Is it not a shame and impiety to call Ishmael “a wild ass” whom God styles “Fruitful” or “Plentiful”? ”(pp.30-32. Italics/Emphasis/color added).  Man can alter Scripture, man cannot alter decree of God.

(That Jews “effaced” Ishmael’s  name and inserted Isaac’s name in its place, as noted by Prof. Dawud. Perhaps it is because of this adulterating of the Bible that the prophet Jeremiah said:  “How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie”–Jeremiah 8:8).

   As shown, the Covenant was made between God and Abraham as well as his only son, Ishmael. The reason Palestine was not given to Ishmael’s early descendants as possession seems obvious. Doing so would have bypassed Abraham’s Judaic branch, resulting in God not fulfilling His promise to Jacob.
Also, power and prophethood were to remain with the House of Judah until the appearance of Shiloh (Prophet Mohammad, shown shortly), at which time the descendants of Ishmael will have everlasting ownership of not only Palestine but all the territories of the Middle-east.   

That Ishmael, and not Isaac, was the son Abraham offered in his intended sacrifice is also borne out by Allāh God in His Qur’an: Abraham prayed for an heir and is given a son; then he had a vision about him sacrificing this son–(Qur’an 37:100-111), and AFTERWARDS Abraham was promised Isaac as stated in verses 112-113: “And We gave him the good news of ISAAC, a prophet, a righteous one. And We blessed him (Abraham) and Isaac.” Muslims who say that the Qur’an is not clear about which son was the intended sacrifice are to study the Qur’an carefully.

As Prof. Dawud pointed out above, all the territories of the Middle-east is the Divine bequeath to Ishmael/Muslims. Also shown is that Jews inheriting Palestine was incidental to God fulfilling His promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and for a temporal period.
   This Divine bequeath to Ishmael/Muslims to possess all the territories of the Middle-east for an everlasting heritage is also echoed by the prophets Jacob, Moses and Jesus. Briefly:

SHILOH:  Genesis 49:10 says that power and prophethood shall not depart from Judah until the coming of Shiloh: “The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a law-giver from between his feet until Shiloh come; and UNTO HIM shall the gathering of the people be.”
   Prof. Abdul Ahad Dawud –“the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect”– has explained in his book Muhammad In The Bible that this prophecy cannot apply to Moses, David, or Jesus, but that it could relate only to Mohammad because “Muhammad came with military power and the Qur‘an to replace the old Jewish worn-out sceptre and the impracticable and old-fashioned law of sacrifices and of a corrupt priesthood.”

Prof. Dawud notes that the Jewish “institutions” of “Royal Sceptre and the Prophetical Succession” “have been extinct for over thirteen centuries;” and that “the tribe of Judah also has disappeared together with its royal authority and its sister –the prophetical succession– both have been out of existence for the same period of time as the advent of Mohammad.

Thus, “The Jews are forced to accept one or the other of the two alternatives, namely, either to admit that Shiloh has come already, but that their fore-fathers did not recognize him (Allāh says they knew, Qur’an 2:146; 26:197), or to accept the fact that there exists no longer a tribe of Judah from which Shiloh will have to descend.” Moreover, the prophecy clearly states that Shiloh “is to be a total stranger to the tribe of Judah, and even to all the other tribes,” –the sceptre and the law-giver were to remain with Judah until the arrival of Shiloh. “If Shiloh be a descendant of Judah, how could those two elements [sceptre and lawgiver] cease to exist in that tribe?”

Shiloh “could not be a descendant of any of the other tribes either, for the sceptre and the lawgiver were for all Israel, and not for one tribe only. This observation explodes the Christian claim as well. For Jesus is a descendant of Judah –at least from his mother’s side.” It is clear from the above that “the Jews are vainly expecting the coming of another Shiloh, and that the Christians are obstinately persisting in their error in believing that it was Jesus who was intended by Shiloh.” (Muhammad in the Bible, pp. 54-58).

PROPHET LIKE MOSES:  God said to Moses: “The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee (Israelites) a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me (Moses); unto him ye shall hearken,” “And I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee (Moses), and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him”–(Deuteronomy 18:15, 18).
   A brother/brethren is “a male who has the same parents as another or has one parent in common with another”–(Webster’s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary; brother). Ishmael and Isaac had one common parent, Abraham. Thus, their children –Arabs and Israelites– are “brethren” of the other. Mohammad is the prophet like Moses.

Further, God said about this prophet like Moses, “I…will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I WILL REQUIRE IT OF HIM” (“I Myself will call him to account” as The Jewish Publication Society of America has it)–(Deut. 18:18-19).
The Qur’an –which begins “In the name of Allāh God”– is the “words” which God put into the mouth of the Prophet Mohammad through the Angel Gabriel. And as God says, whosoever does not follow Mohammad that person will have to answer to Him for his/her disobedience/rejection.(See Jesus-like Moses).

Jewish expectation of a coming Messiah to redeem them in the last days has no Divine foundation: “The Old Testament never speaks of an eschatological messiah –one inaugurating the last times– and even the “messianic” passages containing prophecies of a future golden age under an ideal king never use this term. Nevertheless, many modern scholars hold that Israelite messianism grew out of beliefs connected with kingship…With the declining national fortunes of Israel, whose political kingdoms were conquered or even abolished by the great empires (Assyria, Babylonia, etc), the notion developed of the eschatological messiah-king.”2

Deuteronomy 32:43 which says: “Praise his People, O Nations: For he will avenge the blood of his servants. He will render vengeance against his adversaries and make expiation for his land and his People,” this does NOT refer to future nations; it is about the nations at the time of the many “ites” kingdoms that Joshua would exterminate, so God can keep His Word to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–(Deut 7:6, 8, 12; 10:15). This is stated in 32:49, where God showed Moses the land of Canaan: “and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the Children of Israel for a possession.”
This blessing was tied in to Jews following Mohammad as stated in the next chapter that says:

“And this is the BLESSING, wherewith Moses…blessed the Children of Israel before his death. And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them”–(Deuteronomy 33:1-2).

If Sinai and Seir refer to Moses and Jesus, respectively, “Mount Paran is not found in any other country except Arabia, Makkah being located in its valley”and refers to Mohammad; the ten thousand saints is the number of followers the Prophet Mohammad had upon his triumph at Makkah, and the fiery law is the Holy Qur’an.
MOHAMMAD IS THE BLESSING GOD GAVE TO JEWS. Jews salvation lie in them accepting: ‘There is no God but Allāh; Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah.”

Jews accepting Mohammad will not only fulfill their covenant4 with God, it will legitimize them being in Palestine, as they will now be Muslims. It would also remove their past sins and secure for them Jannah: “Say: O My servants who have sinned against their souls, despair not of the mercy of Allah; surely Allah forgives all sins. He is indeed the Forgiving, the Merciful”-(Qur’an 39:53).  

COMFORTER: Jesus told the Jews: “The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof”–(Matthew 21:43).  Christians might be apt to claim that this prophecy of Matthew 21:43 relates to them. This is fanciful. Christians are not following Christ. As shown, Christians are following the Church -Trinity, original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement (for details see Home).

Jesus foretold the coming of “another” Comforter who will guide us into “all truth”:  “And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you forever;” “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth”-(John 14:16; 6:13). Jesus also says this “another” Comforter will “testify of” and “glorify” him–(John 15:26; 16:14). Prof. Abdul Ahad Dawud B.D. –“the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect”– points out:

“The Comforter –the Spirit of Truth– spoken of by Jesus was no other than Muhammad himself. It cannot be taken as the Holy Ghost, as the Church theology says. “It is expedient for you that I go away,” says Jesus, “for if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart I will send him unto you” (John 16:7). The words clearly show that the Comforter had to come after the departure of Jesus, and was not with him when he uttered these words. Are we to presume that Jesus was devoid of the Holy Ghost if his coming was conditional on the going of Jesus: besides, the way in which Jesus describes him makes him a human being, not a ghost. “He shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear that he shall speak” (John 16:13). Should we presume that the Holy Ghost and God are two distinct entities and that the Holy Ghost speaks of himself and also what he hears from God? The words of Jesus clearly refer to some messenger from God. He calls him the Spirit of Truth, and so the Qur‘an speaks of Muhammad, “Nay, he has come with the Truth and verified the apostles” (Qur’an 37:37). (Muhammad In The Bible, p. 6).

Jesus says the Comforter will not speak of himself but what he hears-(John 16:13), which is the same as God informing Moses about Him raising up a prophet like Moses putting His words into “this” prophet’s mouth (as noted above).  The words God put into the mouth of the prophet like Moses and the words the Comforter heard from God is the Qur’an–(Qur’an 53:3-5).
  (As noted, Jesus said that the Comforter “will guide you into all truth”. Thus, the Bible, devoid of “all truth”, the Bible is OBSOLETE; and Jesus, not giving “all truth”, JESUS IS REDUNDANT -though he, as all prophets, is to be honored with ‘peace and blessings of Allah’ as Muslims honor him. It is the Comforter Mohammad, who is now the only name, way, truth and life, and no man cometh to God but by him, Mohammad). 
Jews and Christians can reject Mohammad but Jews and Christians cannot refute Mohammad’s claim to Divine Dispensation.

Whereas the Israelite was given Palestine for a temporary possession about the 12th. Century BC -and which possession lasted for about “sixty years”. Whether the current occupiers of Palestine are of the House of Judah or are foreigners in the tent of Judaism, their claim to 20th Century Palestine as a Divine gift has NO Divine basis.

TO RESTATE: Jews having possession of Palestine was contingent upon them following Prophet Mohammad. Jews are mandated by Allah to follow Prophet Mohammad in the Bible and Qur’an, at which time Jews would become Muslims and the continuing of the inheritance to the Resurrection. Jews accepting Mohammad will not only fulfill their covenant with God, it will legitimize them being in Palestine, as they will now be Muslims. It would also remove their past sins and secure for them Jannah. (See Judaism-no future). 
All the territories of the Middle-east were/are Divinely bequeathed to Muslims for an “everlasting” possession.

~~~Palestine~~~
Timeless!

Celestially Ours!

Muslims who acquiesce to this foreign domination of Palestine is a traitor to Allāh, a traitor to the Messenger of Allāh; a traitor to the Muslim community and traitor to himself/herself.  Such Muslims are to begin formulating their excuse for when they face Allāh on Judgment Day to answer for his/her betrayal.5

  1. POLITICAL PALESTINE
    In the year 1190 A.C. (After Christ), three years after he defeated the Christian Crusades at Jerusalem,  Salahuddin Ayyub (known in the West as Saladin) invited Jews back to Jerusalem from where they were banned by the Christians. For centuries Jews and Muslims lived together until Zionism appeared.

Theodor Herzl, who is regarded as Father of Zionism, sketched out his shameless schematic for the dispossession of the native Palestinians:
“We shall have to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it any employment in our own country. Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly.”7

Joseph Weitz’s malevolent manifesto:
“…after the [Second World] war the question of the land of Israel and the question of the Jews would be raised beyond the framework of “development”; amongst ourselves. It must be clear that there is no room for both peoples in this country.….If the Arabs leave the country, it will be broad and wide-open for us. And if the Arabs stay, the country will remain narrow and miserable. When the War is over and the English have won, and when the judges sit on the throne of Law, our people must bring their petitions and their claim before them; and the only solution is Eretz Israel, or at least Western Eretz Israel, without Arabs. There is no room for compromise on this point! The Zionist enterprise so far, in terms of preparing the ground and paving the way for the creation of the Hebrew State in the land of Israel, has been fine and good in its own time, and could do with “land-buying”–but this will not bring about the State of Israel; that must come all at once….and there is no way besides transferring the Arabs from here to the neighboring countries, to transfer them all; except maybe for Bethlehem, Nazareth and Old Jerusalem, we must not leave a single village, not a single tribe. And the transfer must be directed to Iraq, to Syria, and even to Transjordan….And only with such a transfer will the country be able to absorb millions of our brothers, and the Jewish question shall be solved, once and for all. There is no other way out.”8

Chaim Herzog announced about Palestinians: “…I am not prepared to consider them (Palestinians) as partners in any respect in a land that has been consecrated in the hands of our nation for thousands of years. For the Jews of this land there cannot be any partners.”9  

From their own declarations, since the nineteenth century Jews have been scheming to kick Palestinians off their land and populate it with Jews. And, with the help of American diplomatic thuggery at the then League of Nations (present-day United Nations) in 1947, Jews kicked Palestinians out of their homes, land and country. (Zionist Jews devour the Muslim hands that liberated them from Christians).

Like many other Muslim countries, Palestine was part of the Muslim Khilafat (Union) (the Ottoman Empire) based in Turkey.
“In 1915, Great Britain encouraged the Arabs to join with her against Turkey, promising them independence after the war,” as noted by Ismail Zayid, but after Turkey was defeated the British proved treacherous, making what was known as the Sykes-Picot agreement in which Britain and France would carve up between themselves “the Arab countries and part of Turkey.”

To capitalize on Jewish influence in the Bolshevik party and keep Russia on Britain’s side in the war, Arthur Balfour, British foreign secretary, in November 1917, informed Lord Rothschild, a British Jew and banker, that: “His Majesty’s Government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people…”10  But Britain reneged on her promise. The result was Jewish “terrorism” directed against the British. Eventually, the British gave up its mandate over Palestine.

Shortly “after 1945” the American Government, under President Harry Truman, took the lead in the creation of a Jewish State in Palestine. To acquire the two-thirds majority of votes in the UN needed to partition Palestine, Ismail Zayid notes in his Palestine A Stolen Heritage (p.11):

“Sumner Welles affirmed: “By direct order of the White House, every form of pressure, direct or indirect, was brought to bear by American officials upon those countries outside the Moslem world, that were known to be either uncertain or opposed to Partition.””
And “James Forrestal, then U.S. Secretary of Defense, wrote: “The methods that had been used to bring coercion and duress on other nations in the General Assembly bordered closely on scandal.””

“”Aranha” refers to Osvaldo Aranha, a Brazilian diplomat. As president of the U.N. General Assembly, Aranha lobbied strongly on behalf of the Zionist movement (a settler colonialist Jewish nationalist political movement that called for the creation of the state of Israel). He delayed the vote on resolution 181 by two days in order to give the U.S. and other pro-Israel countries more time to pressure U.N. member states to vote for the plan. Scholar Fred Khouri writes that, in these two days:
“The United States and Zionists led the lobbying efforts of the pro-partition forces. The delegates, as well as the home governments, of Haiti, Liberia, Ethiopia, China, the Philippines, and Greece were swamped with telegrams, telephone calls, letters, and visitations from many sources, including the White House, congressmen, business corporations, and other fields of endeavor. As a result of these tremendous official and nonofficial pressures, Haiti, Liberia, and the Philippines finally agreed to vote for partition.”11 
No Court of Justice would view as one’s legal property an item acquired through “pressure” and/or “coercion and duress.” (Where are the self-respecting legal brains to challenge this rape of Palestine in the World Court?)
Perhaps Sikhs can test the integrity of the United Nations for their independent homeland in India, using the Partition of Palestine as precedent. So can the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) for a homeland in the Philippines; the Uighurs for a homeland in China and African-Americans for a homeland in America.

It is doubtful these leaders would accept part of their country wrested from them and given to a disgruntled sector of their society for an independent homeland.

At the time of the Partition of Palestine, Jews were only about 34 percent of the population and owned less than six percent of land. Yet the Plan gave Jews 56 percent of land and Palestinians 43 percent and one percent as International quarter.
Some Jews have the arrogance and audacity to point out that whereas Jews accepted the Plan, Palestinians rejected the Plan?  Why would Jews reject this Crown Jewel of a scheme that gave them more than half of Palestine? Why should Palestinians accept this barefaced thievery of their country?
No one in the world –No King or Queen or Prince or pauper or President or Prime Minister or doctor or lawyer or Rabbi or teacher or writer or student or peasant– would accept such an ignominious scheme and not challenge it in every way open to him and her. Yet Palestinians are forced to accept the fate that no one in the world would accept.

Those who criticize and condemn the Palestinians for fighting occupation and theft of their lands must give half of their property to the homeless and half of their country to the natives or ethnic sector for their State; they must suffer what the Palestinians have suffered and endure what the Palestinians are enduring and accept what the Palestinians are forced to accept.  
   (The odd sentiment has been expressed, why go back to 1948 [when the UN ‘stole’ Palestine and gave it to the Jews]. If Jews can go back two thousand years to ‘God gave us this land’ as justification to dispossess the Palestinians of their homes, lands, and country, certainly Palestinians can go back sixty years to assert their right to Palestine. In fact, Palestinians can go back four thousand years, seeing that their presence in Palestine predates the Jews).

It is charged that Palestinians did not make a counter-offer (to the Partition Plan). This is the most laughable of all absurdities. Why must Palestinians make concessions to pacify Jewish sentiments for statehood?
   (Why did Britain, the instigator of the theft of Palestine, through her Balfour Declaration in 1917, not make concessions to Northern Ireland and give it statehood, rather than fight pounds, shillings, pence and farthings for thirty grueling years to hold on to it? Why did Britain not make concessions and give Jews England, Ireland. Scotland or Wales for their homeland?
   Why did America, the facilitator of the theft of Palestine, not make concessions and give Jews New York, California, Texas, Florida or Washington for their homeland?
   Let’s see the Britishers and the Americans swallow this bit of unpalatable morsel their governments have been trying to force-feed the fearless and forbearing Palestinians for more than seven torturous decades now.

A country is not dissected because one sector does not wish to live with the “other” or because they desire their own state. If past or present ownership to a piece of land constitutes the right to secede from the whole, or if a country is dissected because one sector does not wish to live with the “other,” or dissected along sectist, racial and theological lines, or for want of their own state, many a country might now be standing in rumps. Whoever does not wish to live with the “other” must leave! Zionist Jews are to leave Palestine!

If Palestinians/Arabs manifesto is to drive out the occupiers of their land they are fully justified.
–If Palestinians is terrorist for fighting to liberate their lands, Britain is terrorist for sailing halfway around the globe to unseat the Argentines from the disputed Falklands Island!
–If Palestinians is terrorist for fighting to liberate their lands, America and coalition is terrorist for driving Iraq out of Kuwait!  (Though Kuwait was a part of Iraq before it was carved out by the British in 1921).
–If Palestinians is terrorist for fighting to liberate their lands, the Allies of World war II must be the biggest terrorist for booting Germany out of France and preventing Hitler from becoming Emperor of Europe!
–If Palestinians is terrorist for fighting to liberate their lands, Canada must be terrorist for fighting American takeover in 1812!

Palestinians/Muslims have every right and all rights and the Highest authority -the Divine Authority- to reclaim our stolen lands: “And drive them out from where they drove you out” -(Qur’an 2:191).
The Occupied (Palestinians) has the right to fight by whatever means and whatever methods available; man has no right to edict judgment against them: this judgment is only for Allāh.

STEALING MORE PALESTINIAN LANDS:
Prof. Edward Said notes as “General Gur put it in May 1978, official Israeli military policy has been to attack Arab civilians en masse”-(The Question of Palestine, p.224). 
   Following the Partition of Palestine in 1947. Jewish terrorists  massacred the villagers of Deir Yassin in 1948. Ismail Zayid notes in his Palestine–A Stolen Heritage (pp. 11-12):

“On 9th April 1948, the Irgun Zwei Leumi led by Menachem Begin (who later became a Prime Minister of Occupied Palestine) ….attacked the small Arab village of Deir Yassin near Jerusalem. An account of this barbaric massacre was given by Jacques de Reynier, the Chief Delegate of the International Red Cross, who was able to reach the village and witness the aftermath of the massacre: “Three hundred persons” he said, “were massacred….without any military reason or provocation of any kind; old men, women, children, newly-born were savagely murdered with grenades and knives by Jewish troops of the Irgun, entirely under the control of their chiefs.

Dov Joseph, one time Governor of the Israeli sector of Jerusalem and later Minister of Justice, called the Deir Yassin massacre “deliberate and unprovoked attack.” Arnold Toynbee described it as comparable to crimes committed against the Jews by Nazis. But “Menachem Begin said “The massacre was not only justified, but there would not have been a state of Israel without the victory at Deir Yassin.(Massacring defenseless old men, women, children and newly-born, and to steal their homes and lands, is a “victory”?). Unashamed of their deed and unaffected by world condemnation, the Zionist forces, using loud-speakers, roamed the streets of the cities warning Arab inhabitants “The Jericho road is still open,” they told Jerusalem Arabs– “Fly from Jerusalem before you are killed, like those in Deir Yassin.” (Italics/emphasis added. 

That Palestinians were terrorized into fleeing their homes, Britannica: “The Irgun stormed and captured the village of Deir Yasin and massacred much of the population, terrorizing the Arab villagers, who began a mass exodus from Palestine.” (15th Edn; Vol. 17, p. 960. Italics/emphasis added.      

“In 1948, about 450 Palestinian villages were razed to the ground by Israeli forces and about 770,000 people – including about 20,000 Jews expelled by Arab militias from Hebron, Jerusalem, Jenin, and Gaza – were evicted in a matter of few days and then forcibly denied the return. Some of them fled out of fear, often after witnessing the tragic fate of their relatives and friends.
A case in point is the mass expulsion of Palestinians from the towns of Lydda and Ramle in July 1948, which accounted for one-tenth of the overall Arab-Palestinian exodus. Most among the 50,000-70,000 Palestinians that were expelled from the two cities did so following an official expulsion order signed by the then commander of the Harel Brigade, Yitzhak Rabin: “The inhabitants of Lydda”, Rabin clarified, “must be expelled quickly without attention to age”. Several hundreds of them died during the exodus from exhaustion and dehydration.”12

Ismail Zayid notes in his Palestine A Stolen Heritage:
“Not only did the Israelis refuse to allow the return of the (Palestinian) refugees to their homes, but they consummated the tragedy by seizing all their property in one of the greatest acts of plunder in modern history. The confiscation of Arab land was not confined to the holdings of the refugees but extended to the 200,000 Palestinians, who remained in their homes in 1948, by a series of extraordinary laws and regulations of legalized robbery. These included “The Land Acquisition Law,” “The abandoned Areas Ordinance, 1949,” (“Abandoned” or kicked out?) “The Absentee Property Regulations, 1948” and others.” (p.15. (You are refused entry into your country then you are called an “Absentee”. Only in Occupied Palestine).

Professor Edward Said gives a chilling account of this Jewish barbarity in his The Question of Palestine (pp. 105-106):
“Until 1966, the Arab citizens of Israel were ruled by a military government exclusively in existence to control, bend, manipulate, terrorize, tamper with every facet of Arab life from birth virtually to death. After 1966, the situation is scarcely better, as an unstoppable series of popular riots and demonstrations testify; the Emergency Defense Regulations were used to expropriate thousands of acres of Arab lands, either by declaring Arab property to be in security zone or by ruling lands to be absentee property (even if, in many cases, the absentees were present –a legal fiction of Kafkaesque subtlety). Any Palestinian can tell you the meaning of the Absentee’s Property Law of 1950, the Land Acquisition Law of 1953, the Law for the Requisitioning of Property in Time of Emergency (1949), the Prescription Law of 1958.”

Ilan Pappe, “Israeli historian,” notes in his revealing book, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, that the methods “employed” “to forcibly evict” the native Palestinians were “large-scale intimidation; laying siege to and bombarding villages and population centres; setting fire to homes, properties and goods; expulsion; demolition; and finally, planting mines among the rubble to prevent any of the expelled inhabitants from returning;” and that at the end of their “mission” which took “six months” to complete: “more than half of Palestine’s native population, close to 800,000 people, had been uprooted, 531 villages had been destroyed, and eleven urban neighborhoods emptied of their inhabitants.” (pp. xii, xiii).

On October 29, 1956, Jewish border guards murdered 49 (including one unborn)  Arab peasants, men, women and children, of Kafr Qasim for violating a curfew of which they were unawares.
And as Edward Said notes in his The Question of Palestine (p.106), “the officer in charge of the operation was brought to trial, found guilty, and then punished with a fine one piaster (less than one cent).”  (The lives of forty-nine Arab children and adults, including one pregnant woman, are worth less than one cent. Adolf Hitler, Rudolf Hess and Josef Mengele should be so blessed. No disrespect to self-respecting Jews).

From 1931 to 1946 Jewish numbers in Palestine increased a whopping nearly 500,000 –to 31% of the population, leaving the Palestinians at 69%. This dramatic increase of Jews to Palestine was due to the effort of the Zionists who made every effort to settle illegal refugee Jews fleeing Nazi persecution in Palestine: “The Zionists took every action to prevent the settlement  of the Jewish survivors of the Nazi horrors in America or elsewhere, and, capitalising on the world’s sympathy for the survivors, flooded Palestine with illegal immigrants”-(Ismail Zayid, Palestine A Stolen Heritage, p. 10).

Arabs are charged as being “enemies” of Jews. But Arabs do not occupy Jewish lands (and stealing more lands). Zionist Jews are the ones occupying Arab lands (and stealing more and more Arab lands).
It is ZIONIST JEWS who are the “Amaleks”/enemies of Arabs.

Jewish General, Moshe Dayan: “We came to this country which was already populated by Arabs, and we are establishing a Hebrew, that is a Jewish state here. In considerable areas of the country [the total area was about 6 percent] we bought the lands from the Arabs. Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you, because these geography books no longer exist; not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahalal [Dayan’s own village] arose in the place of Mahalul, Gevat–in the place of Jibta, [Kibbutz] Sarid –in the place of Haneifs, and Kefar Yehoshua–in the place of Tell Shaman. There is not one place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population. [Ha-Aretz, April 4, 1969.” 13

In the annals of modern history no people has suffered so much and for so long as Palestinians have suffered and continue to suffer for seven torturous decades now.
If there is any cause on which to immortalize our names it is the cause of the Palestinians. Justice demands that very grain of sand of Palestine stolen in 1947 be returned to Palestinians!

If you keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and believe in My messengers and assist them and offer to Allåh a goodly gift, I will certainly cover your evil deeds, and cause you to enter Gardens wherein rivers flow. But whoever among you disbelieves after that, he indeed strays from the right way. But on account of their breaking their covenant We cursed them and hardened their hearts. They alter the words from their places and neglect a portion of that whereof they were reminded. And thou wilt always discover treachery in them excepting a few of them — so pardon them and forgive. Surely Allåh loves those who do good (to others)”-(Qur’an 5:12-13).The Bible: “In Shittim…the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.

    Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
    And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
    Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
    Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
    Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
    Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
    That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
    Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
    O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
    Behold, your house is left unto you desolate” -(Matthew 23:23-38).
