Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Whatever Happens in Gaza Now, One Outcome Is Certain Beyond Any Doubt

By

New in PJ Media:

President Donald Trump announced on Saturday afternoon that peace in Gaza was at hand:

After negotiations, Israel has agreed to the initial withdrawal line, which we have shown to, and shared with, Hamas. When Hamas confirms, the Ceasefire will be IMMEDIATELY effective, the Hostages and Prisoner Exchange will begin, and we will create the conditions for the next phase of withdrawal, which will bring us close to the end of this 3,000 YEAR CATASTROPHE. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, STAY TUNED!

This followed his declaration on late Friday afternoon that “based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE.” Yet Trump’s call to “STAY TUNED” was apposite, as what will happen next is even more unpredictable than usual. Hamas may indeed release the hostages and abide by the conditions of the peace agreement, at least initially. One outcome, however, is certain beyond any doubt whatsoever: Hamas will eventually break the agreement and resume its jihad against Israel. Whatever they may be telling Trump now about being ready for a lasting peace, and however much he may or may not actually believe them, there is no chance whatsoever that Hamas will lay down its arms and start telling its people that they’re just going to have to live in peace with Israel.

This is clear from Hamas’ founding charter, which quotes Muslim Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna saying: “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.” On the surface, it’s an odd statement: a religion, Islam, will supposedly destroy a nation-state, Israel. Yet that is exactly what the jihadis of Hamas intend to do, and why they are fighting. The war against Israel would rage on even if Israel were no larger than a postage stamp. It will never be solved by negotiated settlements, for its guiding principle is the Qur’anic command: “Drive them out from where they drove you out” (2:191).

For a pious, believing Muslim, this command is no less divinely inspired, and no more subject to negotiation or alteration, than the Ten Commandments are for believing Jews and Christians. The command to drive the Jews out from where they drove the Muslims out does not depend upon the events of 1948, or the claims that Israeli forces at that time compelled at least some of the Palestinian Arabs to leave their homes.

The land of Israel was once part of the Ottoman Empire, the last Islamic caliphate, and before that by the Abbasid caliphate. As such, by the lights of Islamic theology, it belongs to Islam forever, and Muslims have a responsibility before Allah to drive out those infidels who rule this land now. That responsibility cannot be negotiated away, no matter how skillful the negotiator may be, or how favorable the terms of the proposed agreement.

There is more. Read the rest here.

  1. This is precisely why Israel needed to eliminate Hamas and move the remaining Gazans far far away, where they would no longer be a threat.

  2. Trump writes: ‘3,000 YEAR CATASTROPHE’. Wow, this is the most powerful evidence of the fact that this guy definitely has not done his homeword. The peace plan even mentions ‘ interfaith dialogue” as a ‘ cure-all’. Wow, this guy and Witkoff reallly are south of the truth.

  4. The remaining 20 live hostages are not going to be released. B’cos once Hamas lets go of them, they’ve lost their leverage. What will they do – cling on to the bodies of the dead hostages to hold Jerusalem to ransom?

    I am beginning to fault the Netanyahu government for not finishing the job. Even if it means risking the lives of some of the surviving hostages. They need to move in, level the place (stop thinking about civilians: everybody who cares about those “Palestinian civilians” already hates Israel anyway, and those who support Israel know that in a war, there will be unavoidable casualties). Get this done w/, so that it disappears from the news headlines, and then the Palis and other Arabs around them are forced to deal w/ Israel w/o the world’s spotlight on all of them

    • Although you are correct, Bibi and Israel cannot alienate Trump. The question is “does Trump believe his own words or is he delusional?” He often said someone or something is great only to be screwed by them later.

  5. **Cold !aughter.** This ‘peace’ will last until another act of Omnicide occurs. Neither the Prophet nor his fo!lowers shall be bound by a treaty with an infidel.

  6. It seems to me – but I may be wrong – that Hamas has played exactly the game they can have been expected to regarding President Trump’s proposal. They have tried t say yes and no at the same time.

    Trump himself is jumping at acceptance of that because he wants his action to work, but it hardly sounds workable to me. Hamas has not agreed to either disarm or to relocate, and they have not agreed to the governance of Gaza – for now – by any international consortium.

    It might also be a good idea to keep in mind that Hamas does not only exist in Gaza. It has representatives in the West Bank, and its directors are in several Arab locations, notably Qatar. If Hamas is somehow induced to really give up in Gaza it will be the end of nothing. The organization will not have been brought to an end, and it will be saying “Hudaybiya” to itself and into every Arab ear forever afterward.

  7. “After negotiations, Israel has agreed to the initial withdrawal line… ”

    EVERY SINGLE TIME! Israel always has to agree to stop defending themselves. Then the jihadis break whatever agreement is made, and we start all over again.

    I am so tired of it all!

    • Better get used to it. As long as Islam exist on earth they will commit Jihad against all non Islamic people. Political Islam has one goal, they want to rule the world.

  8. Great tactic, President Trump has given Hamas a peace plan he knows they will break, the world will see them as the antagonists allowing Israel to then press on with operations. Only a two State solution will work, Egypt or Saudi to donate empty land and Muslim world to fund relocation and building cities for them. Then have fortress Israel. Go Israel Jesus is your Messiah.

    • Joseph Askew says,

      “…President Trump has given Hamas a peace plan he knows they will break”

      Yes, that’s possible.

      Though not a sure thing…

      • I think Trump believes that Hamas is negotiating in good faith–shows how little he understands about Islam…

  9. Whatever Happens in Gaza Now, One Outcome Is Certain Beyond Any Doubt
    ………………………………………

    So long as Hamas is allowed to remain in power in Gaza there will be no peace for Israel.

  10. The bones are coming home, and 35,000 jew killers are getting out of prison. …..Hurrah
