The Daily Murder of Truth in Gaza Vs. Prohibition of lying in The Bible, The Injil, The Tawrah, and The Quran

By Ghulam Ghaus Siddiqi, New Age Islam

7 November 2023

Religions Such as Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, And Christianity Consider Lying and Unjust Killing to Be Sinful.  However, Lying Is Permitted in Islam for The Purposes of Fostering Peace and Harmony, But It Is Prohibited for The Purposes of Corruption And Terrorism. The Conflict Between Israel and Palestine Is Essentially the Result of Israel's Illegal Occupation of Palestine, But Efforts Are Currently Being Undertaken to Change the Truth. The Article by Parvez Hafeez Emphasises the Recurrent Use of Deception In Situations Involving The Israel-Palestine Conflict. People Must Stop Spreading Lies, Causing Devastation, Or Engaging in An Unjust Occupation, As These Actions Are Against God's Speech and Are Condemned In The Bible, Tawrah/Taurah, Injil, And The Quran.

Main Points:

1.    Every religion condemns lying, with Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Christianity all defining it as an evil act.

2.    Islam prohibits lying in all cases, with exceptions for establishing peace and harmony between belligerents.

3.    The article points out satanic deeds such as fitnah, terrorism, and cruelty, emphasizing that religions promote awareness of God, condemn dishonesty, and promote peace and harmony.

4.    The dispute between Israel and Palestine stems from Israel's illegal occupation.

5.    God Almighty has never approved of oppression, as all Sacred Scriptures prohibit tyranny and lying.

Every religion has condemned lying. Be it Islam or Judaism, Hinduism or Christianity, every religion has abhorred lying. Every religion has declared lying as an evil act, but the only difference is that all have condemned lying in their own way. Someone called lying evil and someone called it a sin and someone called it a satanic act. Islam has forbidden lying in all cases but there are some exceptions to this rule—with one of them being in order to establish peace and harmony between two belligerents.

See, lying has been allowed for the good purpose of establishing an atmosphere of peace and love, but lying has also been forbidden in all other issues. Moreover, Islam has declared corruption and terrorism as great crimes of the human world. So, in this way, Islam has not only declared lying as haram but has also declared corruption and terrorism as punishable crimes.

The article under consideration was originally published in Urdu, but I felt it was critical to translate it for English readers so that we might remember that every fitnah, terrorism, and cruelty is predicated on a satanic deed. The aim of religion is to make humans aware of their True God. No faith condones dishonesty or terrorism, and no moral person can ever stand by and watch an injustice take place. If someone chooses the route of cruelty and deception, it is clear that he is not on the path of religion or humanity, but of Satanism, and he is so negligent that he is ignorant of this satanic conduct.

This article provides multiple arguments that show how lies and dishonesty have always been employed to defend Israel and pro-Israel groups. We are more troubled by the fact that Palestinian civilians, including women and children, are dying on a daily basis and by the fact that the most powerful leaders in the world and "the champions of human rights" can be so obstinate and inflexible in their silence. Do they also condone oppression and deception, or do they dread admitting or expressing the truth?

They cannot deny the fact that the real cause of the dispute between the two nations is Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine. Have they forgotten that God Almighty has never approved of oppression? All the Sacred Scriptures of God Almighty, including the Bible, the Tawrah/Taurah, the Injil and the Quran, prohibited tyranny and lying. These Holy Scriptures say that although God detests lying, some individuals tamper with faith, belief, and God's words, changing the divine command and its meaning. But with regard to the Quran, God Almighty has said that He has assumed personal responsibility for its security.

Tawhid (Oneness), Risalat (Messengerhood), Nubuwwat (Prophethood), and Aakhirat (Hereafter) were shared by all of God's Prophets and Messengers as fundamental messages, and they all saved their respective people from oppression, deception, and lies. Hazrat Abraham (peace be upon him) came to free the world from the oppression of Namrud. Hazrat Moses (peace be upon him) came to save the descendants of Israel. Peace be upon Hazrat Isaa/Jesus, who came to relieve people from injustice and disease. Finally, Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) arrived to save the people from demonic actions and oppression.

Unjust occupation, unjust killing of God's creatures, brutal bombardment of women and children, support for unjust killing, silence over massacres and mass destruction of human lives, and encouraging oppression by any means are all prohibited acts in all major religions around the world. If someone promotes lies, the destruction of human lives, and unjust occupation, he is violating all of God's commands and hence God Almighty. He will surely face judgement from God Almighty, whether in this life or the next, sooner or later.

The Daily Murder of Truth in Gaza

 

By Parvez Hafeez

(Translated into English by Ghulam Ghaus Siddiqi)

 

The truth is the first thing to be killed in a battle. The battle that has been raging in the Middle East for several days is just another example of a wise man's proverbial phrase coming to pass. These days, the Zionist government, the Israel Defence Forces, and the international media that supports Israel continuously spread lies while destroying the truth. On X (Twitter) and WhatsApp, there was also a lot of passionate false propaganda opposing the Palestinians and supporting Israel.

The superpower America is adept at spreading misinformation about its enemies both before and during battles. From the Second World War to the Afghanistan War, American presidents have lied again and time again on everything. George W. Bush falsely claimed that Saddam Hussein possessed a cache of WMDs, which led to the 2003 Iraq War. Is it possible that the Zionist leaders picked up the skill of wartime deception from their obstinate American counterparts?

Israel treats the Palestinian people with inhumane brutality while simultaneously employing a number of strategies to portray itself as the victim of injustice in order to gain sympathy.  One of the most crucial strategies is to categorise every Gazan Palestinian under the guise of Hamas as a terrorist organisation in order to justify crushing the Palestinians' rightful resistance.

Using the pretext that Israel is battling "Man-like monsters" and that this was the best way to deal with them, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant decided to shut off 23 million Palestinians' access to fuel, electricity, water, and food on October 9. In order to legitimise its unlawful occupation and oppression, Israel dehumanises the Palestinian people in a similar manner. Soon after Hamas launched its guerrilla campaign in Israel, "stories" about their purported violence started to circulate in an attempt to undermine the Palestinian resistance movement.

Through fake videos and publications, attempts have been made to portray Hamas fighters as misogynistic and animalistic. They have been charged with serious crimes such as the killing of Israeli youngsters and the rape of Jewish hostages by gangs. This is misleading. The news quickly went viral around the world, and US President Joe Biden also disseminated it without verifying its accuracy. Fact-checkers examined false information to demonstrate that Hamas has neither raped a virgin nor slit the neck of an Israeli infant.

Due to backlash against the US president for citing the unverified report, the White House spokesperson had to make it clear that President Biden had only relayed what he had heard and had not really seen the videos in question.

When international outcry over Israeli cruelty erupted after the 500 Palestinian civilians were killed in the aerial bombardment of Al-Ahli Hospital on October 17, many of them women and children, Israel used an old trick to place the responsibility on the Palestinian militants. Additionally, Biden declared that the "other team" was responsible for the hospital attack. Was the president of the United States thinking that there was a basketball game going on between two teams in Gaza instead of a war? Remarkably, the pro-Israel group in India actively promoted the Israeli version of events surrounding the hospital bombing by utilising archive audio and video material.

When Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Aqilah was killed in Jenin in 2022, the Israeli authorities, including the prime minister, accused "Palestinian terrorists" of her death. A fake video was also used in this narration. A few months later, when Israel's lie was exposed, Tel Aviv admitted that there was a strong possibility the female journalist had been shot and killed by an Israeli soldier.

Al Jazeera published a special report by Mark Jones titled "Analysis: Why is so much anti-Palestinian disinformation coming from India?". This analytical analysis expressed surprise at the significant role that right-wing, anti-Islamic accounts from India have had in the flood of fake news on social media that has followed the Hamas assaults. The degree of hatred has grown to such an extent that an Indian citizen has recommended Israel to take down the name and emblem of Palestine from the Earth.

For several days now, the Zionist government has been committing genocide against the Palestinian people. In addition to the fact that the world is silently witnessing this atrocity, the United States and the United Kingdom—two nations that take great pride in being leaders in the field of human rights—are actively encouraging Binyamin Netanyahu to commit more war crimes by arguing that "Israel has the full right to defend themselves."

In an interview with the BBC, Daniel Levy, a former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak's advisor, asserted that Israel was using a systematic media campaign of lies and deceit to conceal and defend its humanitarian atrocities in Gaza. Levy responded, "If the Israeli government claims that its real target is terrorists by cutting off the supply lines of food, water, electricity, and all the necessities of life to the entire Palestinian population, how can the world believe it?" to the BBC anchor's joke that Israeli airstrikes were targeting Hamas in order to rid Gaza of terrorists.

From its inception, Israel has been built upon deceit and fabrications. When it was planned to move the Jews to the region where the Palestinian Arabs had resided for many generations, it was argued that a people without their own territory would settle in a place that no one had ever established.  The Zionists invented the deceptive story of "A land without a people for a people without a land" in order to accomplish their aim. In actuality, however, there were fifteen million Palestinian Arabs residing in Palestine prior to the creation of Israel in 1948. The radical Zionists ejected half of the populace from their houses and took their land.
