Trap of the Zionist Criminal Narrative on Israel

 Statements have gravity, meaning and consequences. 

The West, it’s government and it’s  media, led by the Zionist Jews, have, as they have done throughout their history, created an intellectual vice which aims to legitimise Israel’s actions and blunt it further by creating sympathy for its position. This is usually done through immediate connections to the holocaust which are repeated by the pro- Zionist Jews as legitimacy for Israel’s actions. 

On this occasion of genocide in Gaza the buzz statement is “Israel has the right to defend itself”. Such is the nature of this imposition that it has put Muslims including those that oppose Israel’s genocide under immense pressure to work within this statement as if it is a legal position. But it is not.

Muslims need to fight back on this statements and obliterate its validity. For the “right of self defence” in international law only relates to states and external attacks and is clearly enshrined in Art. 51 of the UN charter. It does not apply to occupied territory which the Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem fits under, based on Israel’s occupation following the 1967 war, and is clearly laid out in UN Resolutions 242 and 338 as illegal based on international law according to which territorial acquisition as a result of war is illegal and must be returned.  

Consequently, according to the Western justification for Israel’s action, it would mean “green light” and precedent for regimes like India to argue the same with Kashmir and Kashmiri resistance. 

So Muslims, especially in the West and liberal desi confused horse in Pakistan need to avoid falling for this sword which has been put over their necks and who now in public discourse, start with statements such as “we understand that Israel has the right to defend itself” or the actions of Hamas in attacking Jews is “abhorrent”. For this is the subjugated narrative of the weak and the Zionist move to protect Israel and her genocidal criminality as well as their treacherous nature.The effects of this narrative on the Muslims can be clearly seen amongst the collaborators, hypocrites, and opportunists Muslim rulers whose financial and political interests are contingent upon Western powers’ approval. Unfortunately, there are no exceptions among Muslim whereas non Muslim states like Columbia and Ireland registered protest and Columbia went a step further by expelling Israeli ambassador. Even non- Muslim who have a conscience have resigned from their job instead of accepting coercive gagging.

Finally, Muslims need to be careful not to fall into the trap set by the Zionists and their Western protectors, and expose their true contradictions and reality in an articulate but forceful and open manner. For recognising and parroting “Israel’s right to defend itself”, mean legitimacy of decades of occupation, torture, killing, imprisonment, collective punishment and dehumanisation of the Palestinians. 

Only Allah knows the whole Truth.
