Palestine Muslims Biography

No issue has the same global impact as the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. During the cold war, the United States and the Soviet Union twice raised their security alerts and aggressively challenged each other over this conflict. The oil embargo of the 1970s was inspired by the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Numerous militants, terrorist groups and governments around the world which seek legitimacy place the Palestinian/Israeli conflict at the forefront of their agenda. And while the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is not the cause of terrorism, solving this conflict may transform the political landscape of the entire Middle East and expose the various agendas of numerous violent groups who leach on this conflict to win the hearts and minds of emotional and unsuspecting people.
Because of the global impact of this conflict, the entire world must do all it can to bring peace between the Palestinians and Israelis. Towards that end the Free Muslims propose the following:
Today there are three solutions to this conflict. The Israelis and Palestinians can kill each other; they can separate by creating two separate nations; or they can create one nation made up of two people. Presently, the only solution being discussed is a two state solution. This solution is based on separating both people into two separate and sovereign nations. While the Free Muslims support any solution that brings final peace to both Israelis and Palestinians, we believe there are serious problems with the two state solution that may not bring long term peace to both people.
During the Clinton administration, the Palestinians and Israelis spent nearly ten years trying to hammer out a deal based on the two state solution. That peace process ended in total failure. Immediately after the failure of that peace process, Israelis and Palestinians blamed each other for the failure; and the rest of the world took side with either the Palestinians or the Israelis.
However, neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis are to blame for the failure of the Clinton era peace talks which were based on the "Oslo agreement." What caused the failure of the peace talks maybe the solution it self rather than the parties. The consequences of creating two separate nations by dividing Israel and Palestine were and still are difficult pills to swallow for both Israelis and Palestinians. It is a fact that both Israelis and Palestinians have religious, historical and emotional attachments to every square inch of the land that includes Israel and Palestine. The sooner the Palestinians and Israelis understand this reality the sooner they can solve their conflict.
From the point of view of many Israelis, the two state solution is difficult because they would have to give up their religious and historical attachments to the West Bank and Gaza which they call Judea and Samaria. Many Israelis simply cannot fathom giving up the West Bank and Gaza and maybe they should not have to. From the point of view of the Palestinians, the two states solution is difficult because they have historical, religious and emotional attachments not only to the West Bank and Gaza but also to Israel which they call the lands of 1948 after the year they lost it to present day Israel. These are the facts and realities that the Palestinians and Israelis have to deal with to solve their conflict.
In light of these facts some may think that a solution to this conflict is impossible. Not true. The Palestinian/Israeli conflict can be solved like any other conflict as long as the parties think outside the box and as long as no one uses violence or terrorism to effect political change.
In light of the attachments that both parties have for the same territory, the solution is not in separating but in coming closer together. Many Israelis and Palestinians seem to agree that the land they call Israel/Palestine is indivisible. Thus, the solution lies in keeping the land that Israelis and Palestinians call home as one nation while at the same time providing each side with the security and the individuality the parties would have if they had their own separate nations.
What is being proposed here is a Two State-One Nation solution based on equality, freedom and civil rights for both Israelis and Palestinians. The idea behind this solution is that there will be two sovereign states similar to New York and New Jersey that together make one nation similar to the United States of America. However, rather than being a federation it would be a confederation. The main difference between a federation and a confederation is that the states in a confederacy have much more sovereignty than in a federation.
What is being proposed here is not entirely new. What is new about the two state-one nation solution is that it achieves the benefits of being one united nation while reserving for both Israelis and Palestinians the security and independence of being two separate nations.
To illustrate this point further, note that after occupying the West Bank and Gaza in 1967, Israel could have annexed and integrated those territories into Israel by providing the Palestinians with Israeli citizenship. However, Israel did not do this and instead chose to treat the West Bank and Gaza as if they were part of Israel physically without providing the Palestinians in those territories with citizenship, political rights or civilian rule. Among the reasons Israel did not integrate the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza into Israel is because Israelis were afraid of a demographic problem. The Israelis feared that if they gave the Palestinians equality, political and civil rights that the Palestinians may one day out number the Israelis and vote Israel out of existence. While we understand this concern by Israelis, those Israelis who fear giving the Palestinians equality and civil rights assume that they cannot give the Palestinians equality and at the same time have a Jewish state. This is a false assumption. The territory that includes Israel and Palestine can be one nation where the Palestinians have equality, political and civil rights and at the same time be a safe heaven for Jews from all over the world.
This can be done by creating a federation of two states united by a federal type government with limited powers. The country can be called the United States of Israel/Palestine.
Undoubtedly what is happening to the Muslims in the Holy Land of hardship, torture, expulsion, killing and harm is a matter which causes sorrow to every Muslim, and indeed to every non-Muslim who is reasonable, fair-minded and compassionate, when they see the blatant persecution inflicted upon innocent people, with the intention of driving them out of their homes so that the enemy can take their place, which is an enemy that possesses the most advanced weapons, with which they attack unarmed people who are deprived of the means of defending themselves.
This Muslim people has endured for more than fifty years, facing unending Zionist arrogance and aggression, which pays no heed to human dignity or any covenant or treaty, or any law, except that to which their own whims and desires make them inclined and in which their evil rabbis and warlords encourage them.
The outcome of that is well known to Muslims as well as Jews, which is that the consequences will be in favour of the pious and the party of God will be the victors. The wrongdoer will never enjoy security, stability and prosperity, rather he will be faced with fear, anxiety, grief and shame, until the day comes when the Muslims come back to their religion and are governed by the sharee’ah of their Lord, then they will meet the Jews in battle, where the two sides will face one another, and victory will go to the people of faith.
Al-Bukhaari (2926) and Muslim (2922) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Hour will not begin until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, until a Jew will be hiding behind a rock or a tree, and the rock or tree will say, ‘O Muslim, O slave of Allaah, here is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!’ except for the box-thorn (al-gharqad), for it is one of the trees of the Jews.”
We ask Allaah to hasten the Muslims’ return to their religion and to grant them the means of victory. May He grant us the joy of seeing His religion prevail and His enemies humiliated, and may He raise the status of those who are persecuted, tortured or killed for His sake.
And Allaah knows best.

We ask Allaah to hasten the Muslims’ return to their religion and to grant them the means of victory. May He grant us the joy of seeing His religion prevail and His enemies humiliated, and may He raise the status of those who are persecuted, tortured or killed for His sake.There is no question that the Israel-Palestine conflict should lie central to the Muslim faith.
An estimated 85 to 90 percent of Palestinians living within the occupied territories, outside as refugees, and around the world as second or third generation displacees follow the religion of Islam. The religion’s third holiest site, the Al Aqsa Mosque, lies in Jerusalem surrounded by military installations. Hundreds of mosques dot Palestinian lands, some lavishly decorated, others modest in appearance, and many experiencing dwindling participation as a result of checkpoints and roadblocks preventing worshipers from reaching the prayer rows.
The occupation is an immediate and direct assault on the Muslim faith and even if only one Muslim faced the injustice of siege and brutality, this is a matter of grave concern within the folds of Islam. Muslims traditionally refer to each other as brothers and sisters and recognize themselves as a small but important component in a greater Ummah or worldwide community. It is natural then to expect Muslims to take issue if one component is threatened, if one religious obligation is made impossible to fulfill, or if the sanctity of the religion is violated.
Similarly, the occupation creates and then instigates prejudice, corruption, theft, torture, harassment, murder, and various other human rights violations. Islam condemns these abuses to the fullest extent, regardless of whether the injustices fall on Muslims or non-Muslims. Islam highlights the importance of discrediting and defeating wrong with right, dark with light, and one way to fulfill this particular tenet is to shed light on the unjust reality of Israel’s occupation.
A non-Muslim but religious cause
On the topic of religious tenets, it is foolish to restrict the Israel-Palestine issue just to Islam. Many people share the unfortunate misconception that Muslims are obligated to dominate the cause or that they themselves, as non-Muslims, are not afforded the authority or even the attention necessary to make a dent in the occupation machine. This cannot be more untrue.
Every established religion shares the same perspectives on humanity and basic rights. Preserving self-sovereignty, preventing abuse, and rejecting injustice are all foundational tenets in Judaism, Christianity, and other common organized religions. Therefore, anyone affiliated with a religious group or label shares the responsibility of countering the humanitarian violations that come with a foreign occupation.
Restricting the campaign for Palestinian self-determination to only the religion of Islam wipes away the networking, coalitions, and widespread effectiveness that solidarity activists and grassroots leaders have spent decades trying to build. Alliances with Christian groups can be traced back to the shared struggles of Palestinian Muslims and Palestinian Christians dealing with the forced emptiness of mosques and churches in direct relation to flying checkpoints in the West Bank. Gandhi, a common Hindu, preached the same nonviolent tactics used in Sheikh Jarrah, Wallaja, and dozens of other Palestinian villages today. Jews waving Palestinian flags stand alongside people of all colors and faiths in protests all over the world. To deny the non-Muslim solidarity community’s efforts would be to deny Palestinians of the support that is necessary for change.
Regarding Judaism, Israel adopts Theodore Herzl’s Zionist strategy and considers itself a Jewish state, consequently applying a de facto apartheid system for those who do not follow the Jewish faith. In more forceful terms, the Israeli government has taken the Jewish faith hostage by attempting to justify its policies as religiously motivated and spiritually guided, and so it is only natural to expect conscious Jews to denounce the occupation as both a violation of human rights and, more directly, a violation of Jewish principles. It really is that simple.
