The Consequences of Zionist Mentality and Psychology… Immorality (4) Featured

“Israel” relies on the principle of “immorality” in engaging with Arabs and Palestinians. Its philosophy is based on the belief that ethics change and have no stability or universality. Therefore, it deals with a double standard, one for themselves and another for others. Unfortunately, this is what their Torah has decided, as stated in Deuteronomy: “You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israelite.” This is in contrast to Islam, which considers what is permissible to be permissible for everyone and what is forbidden to be forbidden for everyone. The Quran acknowledges this, as stated: “That is because they say, 'There is no blame upon us concerning the unlearned.' And they speak untruth about Allah while they know it.” (Al-Imran: 75).

“Israel” also adopts the Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic era) principle, as mentioned in the Quran, “They make it lawful one year and unlawful another year” (At-Tawbah: 37), interpreting and prohibiting based on its own desires and interests. It embraces the Machiavellian philosophy that the end justifies the means, making all means permissible and justifiable to achieve “Israel's” goals, regardless of protests or condemnations.

Arabs and Muslims are ethical people, as their religion has taught them the necessity of adhering to moral principles in all aspects of life and transactions. Knowledge is inseparable from ethics, legislation is inseparable from ethics, economics is inseparable from ethics, war is inseparable from ethics, and politics is inseparable from ethics.

Islam does not accept the principle that the end justifies the means; rather, it emphasizes the honor of the goal and the purity of the means. Pure means are required to achieve noble goals. Islam does not tolerate reaching the truth through falsehood, as Allah is pure and only accepts what is pure.

It is not surprising to see “Israel” respecting agreements and treaties when they are in its favor while disregarding them when they contradict its interests. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of “Israel,” audaciously declared the death of the “Oslo Accords” and subsequent agreements, which we fundamentally reject.

Thus, they fulfill what the Quran said about their predecessors: “The ones with whom you made a treaty but then they break their pledge every time, and they do not fear Allah.” (Al-Anfal: 56).

They apply what some European politicians have previously stated: Treaties are nothing more than proof of the strong against the weak!

The legitimate ethics in “Israel” revolve around violence, terrorism, and usurpation, which the state still does under the influence of a gangster mentality, and the settlers, who rely on the state's power and protection. “Israel,” which labels Palestinians defending their homeland, families, and sanctities as “terrorists,” is, in reality, the world's largest terrorist. It seizes the rights and lands of others by force, arms, and violence, constituting aggressive terrorism and injustice on the land without justification, as demonstrated in the book “Terrorism Establishes a State: The Israeli Model” by Haytham al-Kilani.

There are countless instances and examples that illustrate the unethical behavior of “Israel.” A recent example is the attempt to assassinate Khaled Mashal, the head of Hamas political bureau in Jordan, using an advanced scientific device that released a lethal chemical substance into his brain using forged Canadian passports, which Canada protested. “Israel” even demonstrated no concern for carrying out such an act on the soil of Jordan, with which it had a peace treaty. If not for the protection of Allah and the vigilance of Khaled and his companions, he would have fallen victim to treachery without anyone realizing that he had been intentionally assassinated. This is the terrorism that “Israel” has practiced since forever and continues to practice.

Here today is Ariel Sharon, the Minister of Infrastructure in “Israel,” boldly and shamelessly declaring that if the attempt to kill Khaled Meshaal, which failed previously, doesn't succeed, it will be repeated over and over until it succeeds. This is what the shameless terrorist proclaimed without concern for anyone, because if you have no shame, do as you wish!

As for the Palestinians, their so-called terrorism is a legitimate form of resistance, responding to the Quranic ruling: “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy.” (Al-Anfal: 60). It’s terrorism for defense and resistance, not for the violation of sanctities.

The lack of ethics among the Jews is not an incidental aspect of their behavior; rather, it is deeply rooted, tracing its origins deep into their history, even reaching their prophets, as narrated in their own holy scriptures.

Indeed, in the Old Testament, it is narrated that Jacob and his mother deceived Isaac to obtain his blessing for Jacob instead of his elder brother Esau. Additionally, it is mentioned that Rachel, Jacob's wife, stole her father Laban's, who is also Jacob's uncle, idols when they left him.

Even earlier in the Book of Genesis, it is stated that Lot's daughters intoxicated him and engaged in sexual relations with him, resulting in the birth of the Moabites and the Ammonites. These, according to the scripture, were the offspring of incest.

In the Book of Joshua, it is recorded that when Jericho fell into the hands of the Israelites, they utterly destroyed the city, killing everyone and everything in it—men, women, children, elders, and even animals.

Moving to the Book of 1 Samuel, where it is mentioned, “The Lord sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel... Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”

Furthermore, in the same book, Saul sought a dowry from David for his daughter, asking for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines. David went above and beyond, killing two hundred Philistines and presenting their foreskins as a dowry for the king's daughter.

In the same book of 1 Samuel, it is mentioned that David turned against King Saul, joining the Philistines in their war against the King of Israel. However, the Philistines refused to accept David into their army. David pleaded with their king, Achish, saying, “But what have I done? What have you found against your servant from the day I came to you until now? Why can’t I go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”

Additionally, in the Book of 2 Samuel, it is narrated that Amnon violated his sister Tamar; they were both children of David. Then Absalom, the son of David, slept with his father's concubines, and he fought against his father David with the desire for the throne. The son was killed in the battle.

In the Book of Kings, it is mentioned that Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, the detestable god of the Ammonites. Solomon built such shrines for all his foreign wives.

These accounts are reported in their own holy scriptures, not by us.

It's no wonder that Jesus, peace be upon him, criticized the scribes, calling them hypocrites, the offspring of vipers, and accusing them of being the sons of those who killed the prophets, questioning how they could escape the punishment of hell!
