Gaza Imam Reveals the Key to Understanding the Entire Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

PJ Media : On al-Jazeera on Friday, the Gaza imam Hussein Abu Ayada revealed the secret of the entire Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It’s actually an ill-kept secret, for Palestinian leaders, and supporters of the Palestinian cause in the Islamic Republic of Iran and elsewhere, mention it frequently.

But it never, ever shows up in all of the mountains of literature that Western policymakers and mainstream foreign policy analysts have produced about this intractable conflict, and about how it can be managed.  

“We, the Palestinian people,” said Abu Ayada, “obey and submit to the orders of Allah. And we know that the war that the Jews are leading against us is for no reason.” He meant that there was no political or economic reason for it, for he continued: “People who think that this is a war against the resistance and its missiles are deluding themselves,” which means that all those pro-Hamas agitators on college and university campuses nationwide are deluding themselves, but of course, we knew that already. 

“This is a war,” Abu Ayada declared, “between Islam and disbelief, between Islam and Judaism, between the distorted faith and the true Qur’an, the true belief. I say to the people: we are confronting the Jews. This is a religious and ideological war. Anyone who wants to get out of this war and watch from the sidelines will be dealt with by Allah. We are pleased with the decrees of Allah.” 

There you have it. Virtually no one in the West acknowledges this or realizes its implications, but Muslim leaders have been clear, just as Abu Ayada is clear: this is a religious war. Two days after the Oct. 7, 2023 jihad massacre, the indispensable Palestinian Media Watch reported that “a Telegram channel associated with Fatah’s military wing the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, is calling on Palestinians to slaughter Jews who they term ‘apes and pigs.’” 

That’s actually a reference to the Islamic holy book, the Qur’an, which, in three separate passages, refers to Allah punishing Sabbath-breaking Jews by transforming them into apes and pigs (2:53-65; 5:59-60; 7:166).
