As I explain in detail in The Palestinian Delusion, the “Palestinian” conflict with Israel is based on Islamic imperatives, the one aspect of the conflict that all mainstream analysts discount or ignore altogether. Accordingly, it is no surprise at all that the “Palestinians” would be trying to marshal opposition to the peace deals, which are based on pragmatic considerations, by invoking the Qur’an.
“Mosques instruct Palestinians to reject peace deals as world celebrates,” by Donna Rachel Edmunds, Jerusalem Post, September 17, 2020:
Palestinians throughout the West Bank attending mosque this Friday will be told in the sermon that the peace deals signed between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain this week amount to high treason against the Palestinian cause, and are condemned by Allah himself.
Each week the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Religion disseminates an instruction sheet outlining the content to be preached in all PA mosques during Friday prayers for that week. This Friday, September 18, Imams have been instructed to condemn the peace deals, and to warn that they pose a danger to those who signed them. The instruction sheet includes a list of surahs – chapters from the Quran – which underscore the PA’s belief in the religious imperative to oppose the peace treaty.
The sheet, which has been seen and translated by NGO Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) includes sermon talking points such as: “There is nothing that harms Palestine and its holy sites more than making an alliance with the Jews, being connected to them, and relying on them,” and “Obedience to the Jews and being dragged after them will lead the nation to weakness, lawlessness, humiliation, and shame.”
“What is so important to understand about this specific PA hate dissemination is that the Palestinian Authority is rejecting the peace agreement not because it is with Israel but because it is with the Jews,” Director of PMW Itamar Marcus told The Jerusalem Post.
Imams will call on “the Arab and Islamic peoples and the free people of the world to stand with Palestine in order to bring down the agreement of humiliation and treason by the UAE and Bahrain,” according to the instruction sheet, and worshippers will be urged to concentrate all their energy “to reject normalization and relations with the Zionist entity.”
The Abraham Accords signed at the White House on Tuesday by Israel’s Prime Minsister Benjamin Netanhayu, US President Donald Trump, and the foreign ministers of the UAE and Bahrain, include a commitment to “encourage efforts to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue to advance a culture of peace among the three Abrahamic religions and all humanity.”
The name of the Accords is understood to have been chosen to signify peace between the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christanity, and Islam, and their peoples across the Islamic and Christians worlds, and throughout the Jewish diaspora.
But Palestinians will be reminded of Surah 2:120 which states: “And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion.”
Further religious imperatives for opposing the peace treaty come in the form of a Hadith about there being one group among the nation of Islam that will continue to be on the side that adheres to the truth, will overcome their enemies, and will not be harmed by those who betray them until the end of days; it states “The Messenger of God [Muhammad] was asked: ‘Where are they?,’ and he answered: ‘In Jerusalem and its surroundings’”…

I can just hear whispered across the Arab world what will surely become The Trump Doctrine “What’s in it for us”
Emilie Green says
Hmmmm, same list as Robert has been citing for years.

The Koran actually says that the Holy Land was assigned by Allah to the Banu Israil … the Children of Israel and further commands them to dwell there and make the laws.
gravenimage says
Alas, the Qur’an also basically says that the Jews angered “Allah” for not being Muslim anymore (never mind that this makes no logical sense).
Keith O says
GI, you said “never mind that this makes no logical sense”.
This is the Koran your talking about, so there is almost zero chance of anything in it’s pages making sense and logic in the Koran? don’t start me down that rabbit hole. Hahahah
Warren Raymond says
Allah is bigger than logic. According to the quran, we’re all born Muslim. Brainwashing makes sense. (To them).
gravenimage says
True, Keith.
jule says
It also says that the Jews got cursed by Allah and are no longer a legitimate religion of Abraham. According to Islam, ONLY Islam is the true religion of Abraham and it is not they who must have every holy site of Abraham, including those in Israel (since Jews got cursed, as they say) And of course Christianity is not a religion of Abraham because of the trinity and the fact that they think Jesus was more than a prophet, being devine himself. Its called SUPREMACY. Supremacy same as Hitlers nazigroups, white Supremacists, KKKlan, and ISLAM from the get go. Supremacy cannot be allowed to be practiced any longer in our modern world. Supremacy is a crime against Humanity. After I read the Qur’an and some Hadiths…..I knew is was just Supremacy. I knew it was to replace Judaism as the Only Religion of Abraham. Who has read it? Isn’t this quite clear? Its a warlord manual of conquest and complete control of its members to do the dirty work…..it is very cleverly put together like a straightjacket, There is almost NO way to get out.

So, in their “panic (?)” the palestinian leadership has now clearly stated that their opposition to Israel’s existence has nothing to do with opposition to Western Imperialism and the loss of control over territory previously under arab/muslim control but simply that Israel is predominantly “Jewish”. So much for trying to distinguish “anti-Zionism” from “anti-Semitism”.

Spot on, Rarely.
But few will noticd this.
Terry Gain says
But Palestinians will be reminded of Surah 2:120 which states: “And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion.”
……………….
I can’t speak for anyone else, but Surah 2:120 certainly resonates with me. But I would settle for Muslims just abandoning such an evil ideology. I like that the UAE and Bahrain understand that they gain more from the peace treaty with Israel then they lose. But what I like most about the peace treaty is that it flies in the face of Koranic dictates. This gives me hope for the future.
Imagine a world where there is no Islam. It’s not easy but you can do it if you try. The money now spent on defending against Islamic terrorism could be used to help those who truly do need help. Why does the Left oppose this?
Terry Gain says
Then and now. The dictation program on this site is very convenient, but I wish it had been written by Mother Syncleta. And as someone who never fell in love with his first draft, an editing function would be wonderful, provided that one can’t edit after someone has replied to one’s comment
David says
Terry, what program is this? Windows 10 has a dictation program.
David says
The Left wants the downfall of Capitalism. Islam is a means to that end, dangerous though it is.

List? How about this one?

Palestinian Authority distributes list of Qur’an verses to show Islamic imperative to reject peace with Israel
……………….
Well, they aren’t wrong…
FYI says
The koran:allah’s’perfect’ book.
1]allah says if you find ANY errors in the koran,such errors mean the koran is from ‘other than allah’
koran 4:82
2]allah says to consult those who know ‘the scripture that was before thee'{the Bible}
koran 10:94
Are there errors in the koran?
YES
{koran 5;116 allah has MARY in his misunderstanding of the Trinity,koran 9:30 allah mistakenly says Jews believe ‘ezra is the son of allah’,koran 7:157 allah wrongly says muhammed is in the Bible but he cannot be as he is not from the Children of Israel{allah confirms the prophets must be from the Children of Israel koran 45:16},allah claims Jesus had the Gospel{koran 5:46}..ALL FALSE statements}
If islamic ‘scholars’ followed allah’s advice of koran 10:94 and consulted those who know the Bible they would see allah gets everything wrong which means that by allah’s own criterion of perfection koran 4:82 the koran is man made and Bogus.
It requires only a little Wisdom to see this.Such wisdom is lost on islamic ‘scholars’
Amazingly you can get a Ph D in islamic studies:’scholarship’ based on a demonstrably fraudulent book ,a false prophet and a false god.
No wonder such ‘scholars’ have to lie so much.
FYI says
If allah was the God of Moses and Jesus Christ…..
1]allah would be omniscient.
allah would KNOW that Christians are NOT polytheists ,Jews don’t believe in any ‘ezra is the son of allah’ and Abraham would have to be connected with the Jews{‘Abraham was not a Jew’ says allah unhelpfully in koran 3:67.How could the key patriarchal figure of Judaism NOT be Jewish?Abraham is in the geneology of Jesus Christ {Matthew 1} who is ..JEWISH{John 4 v 22}Of course Abraham is Jewish}
It seems allah is not omniscient.
allah gets Christian Theology wrong:he thinks MARY{-yes,MARY- }is in the Trinity and that’s what Christians believe{koran 5:116}
Absolutely ridiculous!
2]allah’s laws would be the SAME as those given to Moses but the koran does not conform
to the laws given to Moses.
law #1Deut 6:4-9{allah’s greatest command is-Guess: ‘JIHAD!'{muslim 1:149}
law #2Lev19:18{impossible in islam due to koran 98:6.infidels are ‘the WORST of created beings’ and Jews are to be’hated and despised’ koran 2:65.you cannot ‘love thy neighbor’ if he is classified as someone inferior and to be hated can you?
Exodus 20 Decalogue{allah permits their violation which defeats the point of the law being given to Moses in the first place}
Genesis 1:27{all people are equal before God but allah discriminates:non-muslims are INFERIOR to muslims and women are not equal to men}

It has been said: Nonsense is nonsense, but the study of nonsense is science.
