First of all, Palestine has a right to defend itself. The occupation is wrong obviously. It's like non-Africans claiming Africa is theirs because we are all from Africa if we go back far enough. However, the way Hamas is 'defending' itself is not right. They're not just defending, they are committing atrocities (just like Netanyahu).
1) I believe Palestinians have a right to have their military just like any other country in the world however they should not commit atrocities or terrorism. By the way, I also believe that Netanyahu is a terrorist, not just Hamas. But every country should be able to defend itself. Not just Israel. Otherwise, this would be grossly unjust.
2) We can pray for all the innocents, and send the innocent civilians who are still alive aid through charities. Protests are great too. I'm surprised by how many pro-Palestine protests there were. It's good to see.
3) It was totally against the Qur'an from my understanding because you're not allowed to attack and kill civilians! The civilians at the music festival were leftist, liberal hippie types or so I've heard. They were probably pro-Palestine themselves. They had nothing to do with the Israeli government and army. But even if they weren't pro-Palestine, they were civilians.
"Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors." (2:190)
Hamas transgressed. Out of their hatred for the occupation and for the Jews, they took revenge on civilians. This is not Islamic.
Thanks sister Sarah for your response!
Indeed i learnt something from you.
As a comparison here is my answer to the same questions:
(1) I will join Hamas to liberate my country because all diplomacy efforts have failed and no hope anymore
(2) I will support Palestine for sure and condemn Israel and it's allies!
(3) No, Palestine has a very right to retaliate or wage war against Israel;
42:39 When gross injustice befalls them, they stand up for their rights.
42:40 Although the just requital for an injustice is an equivalent retribution, those who pardon and maintain righteousness are rewarded by God. He does not love the unjust.
42:41 Certainly, those who stand up for their rights, when injustice befalls them, are not committing any error.
42:42 The wrong ones are those who treat the people unjustly, and resort to aggression without right. These have incurred a painful retribution.
42:43 Resorting to patience and forgiveness reflects a true strength of character.
Note:
For the isolated case of inhumane action in war such as killing the civilians, the "observers/outsiders" of the conflict can condemn that particular action (if they wish) but this inhumane act will not repudiate or deny the validity of Palestine's right to launch war against Israel.
*David and Jesus, the son of Mary do the same to transgressors ...
5:78 Condemned are those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel, by the tongue of David and Jesus, the son of Mary. This is because they disobeyed and
transgressed.
Justice for Palestine!
Just my take
Thank you.
