The Palestinian Issue & Solution in the Islamic Perspective
The creation of Israel was a conspiracy hatched by British Government (UK) in London. UK was the main player for scheming of the Zionist Jews home land, Israel. Balfour was thus an act of injustice and turmoil. Then the Muslims were not very politically active. However the Palestinian never accepted the illegitimate act and kept on resisting and sacrificing precious lives. This English translated from Arabic article is reflection of an educated Palestinian Dr Ihsan Samarah on the Palestinian Israel Conflict.

The Palestinian Issue & Solution in the Islamic Perspective
Basically, the Palestinian issue must be viewed as a pivotal issue in the conflict between Islam and Muslims and the Zionist-Crusader Western colonialist cultural movement, and not an Arab-Jewish conflict, as the Zionist movement, which is based on biblical heresies, has nothing to do with the Jewish religion, but rather is a secular, colonial political movement fabricated by the state.
The deep British involvement, in agreement with the Western Crusader countries, circles, and colonial institutions, was called upon by the recommendations of Louis IX, King of France, who was captured in the Crusade war in Mansoura following the defeat of the Crusaders in the year 1250 AD in Mansoura, that is, before the birth of Herzl and the Zionist movement and the birth of Balfour and Weizmann. He recommended in his document the following:
“It is not possible to defeat Muslims through war, but rather through politics as follows:
1: - Spread division among Muslim leaders, and work to widen the rift between them as much as possible.
2:- Not enabling Islamic countries to have good governance.
3: Corrupt the ruling systems in Islamic countries with bribery, corruption, and women until the base there is separated from the top.
4: Preventing an army that believes in the right of its country and sacrifices itself for its principles.
5: Preventing the establishment of Arab unity in the Arab region.
6: - Working to establish a strange state in the Arab region, and making it extend until it reaches the West.
The subsequent conferences recommended the necessity of planting a strange state that is loyal to the West and hostile to Islam and Muslims, to ensure that the West and its civilization remain in permanent superiority over Muslims. As a result of this, there was interest of France and Britain in Palestine as a fulcrum for all the powers of the world and a strategic center politically and militarily, and its sanctity for Muslims, Jews and Christians, and its geographical location linking Africa and Asia.
Therefore, Western countries were keen to plant the Israeli entity there, as it has a Western civilizational character and is hostile to Islam and the Muslims. The Israeli presence would prevent any Islamic civilizational renaissance for the Muslims. As recommended by the conferences to ensure the superiority of the Western Crusader countries over the Muslims and weaken their relationship with Islam, and make them subservient to the West, its material civilization, its methods of religiosity, and its way of life. For example, the Campbell-Bannerman Conference, which was held in 1905 AD and whose sessions continued until 1907 AD.
At the invitation of the British Conservative Party, with the aim of finding a mechanism to preserve the West’s superiority over the Islamic world, their opinions agreed on the necessity of making Palestine a national homeland for the Jews. This has been worked on and prepared for since the early nineteenth century, after Herzl published his book “The Jewish State” in 1896 AD and the holding of the Basel Conference in Switzerland. In 1897 AD, the World Zionist Organization was established.
Britain took advantage of its occupation of Palestine in World War I, with Balfour recommending to its Foreign Minister that Palestine be granted a national homeland for the Jews on 11/2/1917 AD. Then Britain facilitated the immigration of Jews to Palestine, since 1922 AD, 1923 AD, and 1935 AD.
And oppression of the people of Palestine and restrictions on them to force them to immigrate from Palestine and replace them with Jews, until Britain ended its mandate over Palestine to hand it over to the Israeli entity in the year 1947 AD, which enabled this by declaring the State of Israel after a sham war in 1948 AD and recognized internationally by Russia, America and the majority of the countries represented in The United Nations, and the Western countries. America still sponsors the presence of the Israeli entity in Palestine and provides it with various forms of material, moral, political and military support.
As the Zionist-Crusader colonial states sought to get rid of the corruptions and evils of the Jews, preoccupy the nation with them, and make this entity a pathogen for the nation and its peoples, exhausting them. of its human and material forces and energies in the vortex of the Arab-Israeli conflict, in addition to making it a source of sowing the seeds of division and disagreement among them, and distracting with that conflict from confronting the Western colonial countries, the root of the affliction, and from making efforts to liberate themselves from the bond of enslavement to the West, break away from dependence on it, and distract the nation thereby.
About striving for a true renaissance on the basis of Islam, and making any attempt to emerge from the pit of backwardness and decadence, and to recover from its weakness. This is what the issue of Palestine must be understood in light of, as it is an advanced military base to serve the Zionist-Crusader colonial symptoms, far from the deceptions and camouflage fallacies that are widespread.
About the Zionist movement, the Basel Conference, and the alleged protocols called the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and similar British claims and their agents, and far from it being a land occupied by the Jews for alleged Biblical motives, and so on, which makes the nation forget the essence of the Palestinian issue that it is a Zionist-Crusader-colonial issue that made the Zionist movement based on Biblical allegations and heresies are a spearhead and a predatory claw in them...
As the course of events in their existence and the development of the Zionist project and the international situation that helped the colonial Western countries adopt it following the inheritance of the Ottoman Empire, which was called the Sick Man, and work to dismantle it from within, intellectually and politically, after implicating it in participation, In World War I, on the side of Germany...
And with the victory of the Western Allies over Germany and the Ottoman Empire allied with it, the Western countries, led by Britain and France, occupied much of their lands and shared them among themselves as areas of colonial influence.
Meanwhile, the Balfour Declaration was issued in 1917, and Britain itself began In sponsoring and developing the Zionist project from the year 1917 - until the year 1948, intellectually, militarily, politically, economically, socially and administratively, in a way that would lead to the creation of a Zionist political entity in Palestine that would be a colonial military base in the heart of the Arab world, and it worked to ensure its survival and continued existence, and to keep the Arab states as areas of colonial influence.
They were established in accordance with What is known as the Sykes-Pico Project is a weak, weak, backward country divided among itself. To fulfill what General Allenby, commander of the British forces that entered the city of Jerusalem after the victory over the Ottoman army, 12/9/1917, said, “Today the Crusades have ended,” and what General Giraud, the French commander, said when he entered Damascus, 9/25/1920, when he stood in front of the tomb of Saladin and said: “Here we are back, Saladin.”
The matter continued like this and the matter became worse with America’s inheritance of this Zionist-Crusader colonial legacy. Therefore, the presence of what is called Israel in Palestine is not an issue of occupying land, but rather one of the strategic Zionist-Crusader colonialist issues in the Western-American mentality since the defeat of the Crusaders. And through the Balfour Declaration, it will be a buffer zone between Africa and Asia, an advanced colonial base for the West, and a point of contact and communication between the colonial Western countries and their areas of colonial influence, blocking the path to any renaissance unitary project in the Islamic world.
In light of this view of the Palestinian issue, the liberation of Palestine cannot be achieved through political maneuvers. Through fabricated military methods in the form of combat factions, sometimes with patriotic slogans, and at other times with nationalistic slogans, or with religious slogans, or with fabricated wars conducted by puppet states from time to time to drain the energies of the nation in general and the people of Palestine in particular in artificial wars with guilt rather than the head, resulting in despair and frustration of the nation, and undermining its confidence.
Itself in its ability to liberate its country from dependency on colonialism or liberate Palestine from the abomination of the colonially protected Israeli entity, and to weaken its resolve to make any attempt to do so, resulting in strengthening the Israeli entity and enhancing its existence and survival, and therefore liberating the nation from all colonial consequences intellectually, spiritually, religiously, politically and militarily.
Economically and psychologically, it is the only way to liberation, and that requires working to cleanse the country of the intellectual, political, societal, and alternative colonial remnants of colonialism, and working consciously, seriously, and sincerely to restore the Islamic nation to its Islamic identity in the form of one unified nation, intellectually and politically, in a mature Islamic state that brings together its diaspora.
And uniting them into a single Islamic political entity, sincerely exerting its utmost effort to prepare the necessary spiritual, intellectual, material and moral equipment to liberate the Islamic nation, with its Arabs and non-Arabs, from dependency on the Western colonial states that embrace the Israeli entity, support its existence, protect it, and preserve its survival...
This will be in compliance with the Almighty’s saying: “O believers! If you were to yield to a group of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back from belief to disbelief.
How can you disbelieve when Allah’s revelations are recited to you and His Messenger is in your midst? Whoever holds firmly to Allah is surely guided to the Straight Path.
"O believers! Be mindful of Allah in the way He deserves, and do not die except in ˹a state of full˺ submission ˹to Him˺
And hold firmly together to the rope of Allah and do not be divided. Remember Allah’s favour upon you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts, so you—by His grace—became brothers. And you were at the brink of a fiery pit and He saved you from it. This is how Allah makes His revelations clear to you, so that you may be ˹rightly˺ guided.” Al Imran: (100-103).
He does not guide the wrongdoing people. Then you see those in whose hearts is a disease hastening toward them, saying,
“O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians—they are guardians of each other.1 Who ever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
You see those with sickness in their hearts racing for their guardianship, saying ˹in justification˺, “We fear a turn of fortune will strike us.” But perhaps Allah will bring about ˹your˺ victory or another favour by His command, and they will regret what they have hidden in their hearts.” Al-Ma’idah: (51-52).
God Almighty has spoken the truth.
