Exploring how the Quran affirms the Jewish right to Israel and calling on Muslims to uphold their faith honestly. If Muslims believe the Quran is the word of God, then they must acknowledge what it clearly says. The Quran affirms that the Land of Israel was promised to the Children of Israel. It never once mentions Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, Judea, or Samaria by name, and yet Jewish scripture written over a thousand years before Islam names these places repeatedly. These names are not merely poetic references but geographical markers tied directly to Jewish life, culture, and divine covenant. The Torah and Tanakh describe Jewish tribes, towns, and kings ruling in these very lands, and these records have been preserved and studied by Jews across the world for thousands of years. The Quran itself does not deny this. In fact, Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:21 quotes Moses saying, “O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you.” In Surah Al-Isra 17:104, Allah says, “And We said...

With Hamas losing favour in the Arab world, their next stronghold may not be in Gaza but in the heart of Western societies. As sympathisers grow bolder and political blind spots widen, the fight against terror risks shifting closer to home. As pressure mounts on Hamas from both within Gaza and the broader Arab world, a dangerous new chapter may be about to begin. Arab nations, including some that have long expressed solidarity with the Palestinian cause, are now openly calling for Hamas to step down. On the surface, this seems like progress, but it raises a question no one appears prepared to answer: what happens next, and where will Hamas go? The worry is not just about the political vacuum they will leave behind, but about the global consequences of their displacement. Hamas will not simply surrender, dissolve, or apologise for decades of terror. They will regroup, rebrand, and rearm. The ideology that fuels them, a toxic blend of martyrdom, antisemitism, and absolutist theology, d...

While the world weeps for starving children in Gaza, few stop to ask where the billions in aid went. Over the past two decades, billions of dollars in humanitarian aid and development support have flowed into the Gaza Strip. Since Hamas took control in 2007, the territory has received over $10 billion USD in direct donor aid fr om the international community, including funding from the European Union , United Nations agencies , the United States , Qatar , and others. This figure includes direct cash support, infrastructure development, and food aid intended for a population of around 2.2 million people. Despite this enormous investment, Gaza remains crippled by poverty, food insecurity , collapsing infrastructure, and now famine. Children are dying of malnutrition in a territory that has received more per capita humanitarian aid than many nations in Africa or Asia. The failure is not rooted in global apathy, but in decades of financial corruption , militant governance, and ideologi...

I’ve created this to explain my own position and help others understand theirs. Many people don’t realise what their views actually imply, especially when it comes to supporting specific governments, movements, or national causes. Below are a range of possible positions. Choose the one that matches your view most closely. Then scroll down to see what that position might really mean in terms of ethics, consistency, or contradiction. Each position answers four simple questions: Do you support Israel’s right to exist? Do you support the current Israeli government (Netanyahu/Likud)? Do you support Palestinian people and their rights? Do you support Hamas as a legitimate political or resistance movement? Position 1 ✅ Support Israel ✅ Support Likud/Netanyahu ❌ Oppose Palestinians ❌ Oppose Hamas Position 2 ✅ Support Israel ❌ Oppose Likud/Netanyahu ✅ Support Palestinians ❌ Oppose Hamas Position 3 ✅ Support Israel ❌ Oppose Likud/Netanyahu ❌ Oppose Palestinians ❌ Oppose...
