Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, said today that they “will not accept anything less than a complete cessation of the aggression, withdrawal of the occupation army from Gaza and lifting of the unjust siege" in exchange for a return of the hostages.

These are the exact conditions that existed on October 6th.

Now, with thousands of Israeli civilians murdered and raped and dismembered by Hamas, Israel cannot return to the status quo, let alone possibly agree to Hamas's conditions for releasing convicted terrorists.

That's it.

You said you read a lot about Arabia and Islam and I have a random question that you might be able to help with. I know that for centuries there was a caliph who was like the leader of muslims and I always wondered why if the king of saudi arabia is in charge of the holy sites why isn't he considered the caliph or declared himself as the caliph?

It's a good question and there are a number of complex reasons why that didn't/doesn't happen which require a much deeper dive, but I'll try to give a simplified answer. First of all, the caliph was the spiritual leader of the entire Muslim world and while the caliphs also had a political role as successors to Muhammad, that role changed dramatically through the centuries as the Muslim world grew, Islamic empires rose and fell, and Islam itself branched into different sects. The last widely-recognized caliphs were the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire, but even in the last decades of the Ottoman Empire, there were disagreements throughout the Muslim world about the legitimacy of anyone's claim on the caliphate. The two main branches of Islam -- Sunni and Shia -- have entirely different ideas on how a caliph should be chosen and who the caliph is chosen by.

When the Ottoman Empire collapsed after the end of World War I, the Sharif of Mecca -- Hussein, a direct descendant of Muhammad as the leader of Hashemite dynasty (and great-great grandfather of the current Jordanian King Abdullah II) -- attempted to declare himself the new caliph, but was not accepted. In many ways, it was like a modern European monarch suddenly declaring himself the Pope; that's just not how most Muslims believed the spiritual leader of the Islamic faith should be determined. Plus, Hussein only had a tenuous hold on Islam's holiest sites (Mecca, Medina, and, at the time, Jerusalem) following World War I, and Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud was in the process of taking control of what is now Saudi Arabia. Once Ibn Saud became King of Saudi Arabia, he took over as "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques" (Mecca and Medina), but the idea of declaring himself caliph was out of the question. Ibn Saud and the vast majority of his supporters were members of the deeply conservative, puritanical Wahhabi sect of Sunni Islam and they believed that the caliph was chosen by all Muslims, not declared by one person. As the guardian of Islam's two holiest sites, the King of Saudi Arabia is responsible for ensuring that all Muslims capable of making the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca (and the lesser pilgrimage to Medina) can do so. Unilaterally declaring himself the caliph would undoubtedly have alienated many Muslims, particularly those from countries outside of Saudi Arabia and especially Shiites. In other words, it's not within the power of the King of Saudi Arabia to give himself (or any other individual) the title of caliph, and he'd probably get just as much resistance from his fellow Saudis if he tried to do so. There's no way that the Ikhwan -- the ascetic tribes and Bedouins who largely acted as Ibn Saud's military forces as he conquered most of the Arabian Peninsula in the first half of the 20th Century -- would have remained loyal to the first Saudi King if he had unilaterally proclaimed himself the caliph.

The Muslim people around the world -- the ummah -- haven't been united since the death of Muhammad, which is when the divide between Shia and Sunnis began over the true successor of the Prophet, so any caliph is going to be seen as illegitimate by a significant percentage of the population. And in the modern world, any political aspects of a potential caliph are going to be superseded by the temporal responsibilities of the heads of state or heads of government in every country, no matter how large or devout their Islamic population might be. So, a modern caliph would really have to be a spiritual leader, not a political one -- very similar to the Pope. But the Pope also has the unique position of being the head of state (and, really, an absolute monarch) of a sovereign nation. The Islamic world is too fragmented and divided by opposing theologies to allow a modern-day caliph to govern, command military forces, and provide religious guidance in the same manner as Muhammad's immediate successors or even during the 600+ years of Ottoman Sultans. A caliph would effectively have the same standing today as a modern-day Doge of Venice or Japanese Shogun; it's an anachronistic position of leadership and somewhat outdated concept in the world we currently live in -- you know, like the Iowa Caucus or Electoral College.

funny how most of the world leaders are islamophobes and boast about their hate for a certain religion and its people without any fear of the consequences but anyone would be shot down if they criticize the action of any other religion and its people other than Islam.

In a recent interview, Hamas ex-leader, Khaled Mashal, openly thanks American students for renewing their dream of wiping Israel off the map and murdering millions of Jews. His ideology is strikingly similar to Hitler. Given the amplification of social media, the Islamists are even more dangerous than the Nazis. NO CEASEFIRE. Full stop.

""Following Oct 7, I believe the dream and the hope for Palestine from the river to the sea, and from the north to the south, has been renewed....Palestine "From the River to the Sea" - that's the slogan of American students....We will not give up our right to Palestine in its entirety.""

Israeli aircraft conducted strikes early Tuesday on Islamic Jihad targets in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military said, and the group said three senior commanders were killed in the attacks.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said a number of people were killed and injured in the airstrikes. It did not elaborate. The Israeli military said the aerial bombings were directed at the residences of three senior commanders of the Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad group.

Witnesses said an explosion hit the top floor of an apartment building in Gaza City and a house in the southern city of Rafah. Airstrikes continued in the early hours, targeting militant training sites.

The Israeli army said the aerial bombings, codenamed “Operation Shield and Arrow," targeted Khalil Bahtini, the Islamic Jihad commander for northern Gaza Strip; Tareq Izzeldeen, the group's intermediary between its Gaza and West Bank members; and Jehad Ghanam, the secretary of the Islamic Jihad's military council. It added the three were responsible for recent rocket fire toward Israel.

What Would Rectify Your Land?

And I heard him (ie: al-Layth b. Saʿd) say: (the Caliph Hārūn) al-Rāshid asked me when I went (ie: was called) to him: “mā ṣalāḥu baladikum (ie: what would bring uprightness to the people of your land of Egypt)?” وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ لِي الرَّشِيدُ لَمَّا قَدِمتُ عَلَيْهِ: مَا صَلاحُ بَلَدِكُمْ؟ He replied: “By the flowing of the Nile (river), and the uprightness of their amīr (ie: leader). قُلْتُ: بِإِجْرَاءِ النِّيلِ، وَبِصَلاحِ أَمِيرِهَا، And from the source of the spring (ie: meaning the Caliph) the impurities would originate. وَمِنْ رَأْسِ الْعَيْنِ يَأْتِي الْكَدَرُ، But if the source remains pure, the canals remain so.” فَإِنْ صَفَتِ الْعَيْنُ صَفَتِ السَّوَاقِي، He (ie: Hārūn) replied: “You have spoken the truth O Abū ʿl-Ḥārith.” قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ يَا أَبَا الْحَارِثِ. al-Ḏahabī, Tārīkh al-Islām 4/710 الذهبي، تاريخ الإسلام ٤/٧١٠ https://shamela.ws/book/35100/5962 Telegram: https://t.me/aljadwal Tumblr: https://al-jadwal.tumblr.com
