Today, I feel called to write this—not because I have answers, but because staying silent feels like betrayal.
When it comes to the conflict between Palestine and Israel, I’ve always stood with my Palestinian brothers and sisters. Before I am even a human being, I am their family through our shared religion—we believe in the same Prophet, the same God, the same faith.
But that doesn’t mean I blindly support everything done in their name. I do not support extremism or acts of violence that go against what our religion teaches. Islam never permits injustice—even when we are the victims of it.
A Narrative That Never Felt Right
Every time I hear Israel’s narrative—videos claiming they're “defending themselves,” footage of them being “attacked”—something always feels off. We’ve seen too much to take these stories at face value.
From the beginning, we were told the truth.
We’ve lived it, witnessed it, felt it.
And that’s what keeps me grounded. Unshaken.
Gaza Today: A Humanitarian Nightmare
The current situation in Gaza is unbearable.
-
Famine.
-
Starvation.
-
Children dying—not just from bombs, but now from hunger.
-
Parents watching their children slowly wither.
-
Elders waiting silently for death.
All because of a blockade on food, water, and humanitarian aid.
They’re not just being killed—they're being erased.
Punished simply for surviving.
Scroll through social media and you’ll see: Palestinians are no longer just running from bombs—they’re fighting to survive starvation. Skin clinging to bone. Eyes filled with fear and sorrow. Homes turned to rubble. Lives shattered beyond repair.
There is no safe place left in their own land.
This Isn’t 1945
So why are we still seeing:
I’m exhausted. I’ve cried until I couldn’t anymore.
But even then, I can’t begin to imagine what they’re going through.
They are the ones living the nightmare.
They are the ones crying for help.
And in the end—many are silenced.
Some by fear. Others forever.
75 Years of Injustice
75 years.
An endless cycle.
Nothing has changed. In fact—it’s only gotten worse.
Meanwhile, the other side watches like it’s some kind of twisted version of The Hunger Games. Enjoying the power. The privileges. The support. Celebrating others’ suffering in the name of "self-defense."
They keep repeating the same words:
"Hamas." "Hostages." "Terrorists."
But let’s be honest: they don’t care. Not about truth. Not about peace.
So I start to wonder:
What gives Israel such confidence in their actions?
Why is there no guilt? No shame? No humanity?
Faith, or Justification for Cruelty?
I’ve seen how they mock Palestinian suffering. How they dehumanize them. Call them animals. Destroy homes. Kill for sport.
Why?
What belief allows this?
Then I turn inward.
What makes me so certain in supporting Palestine?
What roots my belief?
I realize—it’s belief too.
But not belief in superiority.
Belief in justice. In mercy. In compassion.
Their belief tells them the land is promised. That they are the “chosen people.” That their actions are part of a divine plan.
But I ask:
What kind of “chosen people” kill the innocent?
What kind of divine promise involves bloodshed and cruelty?
Our Prophets—Musa (Moses), Isa (Jesus), and Muhammad (peace be upon them)—were also chosen by God.
But they didn’t mock pain.
They didn’t massacre families.
They didn’t turn compassion into conquest.
They stood against oppression.
They taught mercy.
They reminded us to see humanity even in our enemies.
No Prophet mocked suffering.
No Prophet ignored injustice.
And no truly chosen people would do the opposite of God’s mercy.
So again I ask:
What kind of faith allows this?
The Word Is: Evil
-
Evil is intentional harm.
-
Evil is knowing you’re hurting others—and doing it anyway.
-
Evil is cruelty without guilt.
But sometimes, what’s even more evil are the bystanders.
The ones who close their eyes.
The ones who stay silent.
The ones who justify it—after seeing children buried under rubble, elders crying out, entire families wiped out.
And still, they say:
"They deserved it."
Because they defended their home?
Because they wanted freedom?
Because they refused to vanish?
What kind of logic is that?
What kind of human thinks like that?
When Humans Become More Terrifying Than the Devil
In 2024 and 2025, I feel blessed to see more people waking up. Social media became a powerful tool for truth. People began to see behind the curtain. Israel's actions exposed their true colors.
And yet—some still refuse to acknowledge it.
It made me realize:
Some humans are more terrifying than the devil himself.
They live in their own world. Ruling with power, manipulating truth, playing God.
You see, Shaytan was cast out for refusing to bow to Adam. His mission is to mislead. To whisper.
But even Shaytan never spilled innocent blood.
We did.
For years, we’ve killed.
We’ve destroyed.
We’ve broken what we were meant to protect—each other, this earth, the sacredness of life.
And for what?
Power? Land? Pride?
We were created with hearts, with mercy, with minds.
But when we abandon those—we become worse than what we were warned against.
This Is Bigger Than Palestine
This isn’t just about Palestine.
It’s about who we are becoming when we let this happen.
When we watch.
When we stay silent.
When we justify the unjustifiable.
Evil isn’t only the one who pulls the trigger.
Evil is also the one who looks away.
Life is a temporary vacation.
But the afterlife is permanent.
One day, we’ll be held accountable—for what we chose to see, and what we chose to ignore.
