When we are seeing the atrocities committed by Israeli Defense Forces in Gaza, it’s important that we condemn the starvation, murder and crimes against humanity that the Zionist state continues to commit.

These things are important because of our moral obligations to stand for what is right. We cannot avert our gaze from the destruction of an entire people or act like it isn’t happening.

President Biden and the mainstream media are doing an unbelievable job of that.

“For these last two months, I have been in my house, in my room, music room, baptizing myself in the pain and the bloodshed of my Palestinian family,” said the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

He was speaking at Saviours’ Day 2024 in Detroit. His keynote address was titled “What Does Allah The Great Mahdi And The Great Messiah Have To Say About The War In The Middle East?”

“Brothers and sisters, that is our family.  You may not think that, but it’s okay; you have to grow beyond yourself, and you have to know there are people in this world that are connected to you far beyond your own Black skin. So, as I was baptizing myself in the blood of my family, it was building me up for what I am about to tell you all today.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu has a vision of Haaretz Israil. Several states over there, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, they intend to annex that to what is called ‘Greater Israel.’ Do you know about that? That man already has over 400 nuclear bombs sitting in the desert in Dimona, Israel, under where my Hebrew Israelite family stayed.

“That’s a lot of weapons. And they, now, feel that they are the power in the Middle East, and they are. They feel that they can manipulate America, because they don’t respect Joe Biden. And they have not respected any American president; in the last 40 years, they have manipulated every president of the United States of America.”

The Minister continued: “God wanted me to say today what is said in the scriptures about Nebuchadnezzar. After I saw the war council, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad showed me, just the next night, in bold letters:

‘NEBUCHADNEZZAR.’ When I started reading about Nebuchadnezzar, he was a man who was so wicked, that God took out of him the heart of a human being and gave him the heart of a beast.

“Who could do to another human being what is being done to our Palestinian family, and let it happen and not think of a humanitarian crisis? The crisis is not just what is happening to the Palestinians.

The crisis involves what is happening to you, what is happening to me; what is happening to human beings who are more concerned with what they will lose by standing up, rather than standing up and facing the consequence of their stand, knowing that God will bring them out victorious.

“So, the Bible says God was going to ‘open the graves’ of all of those who have been slain under the wicked rule, really, of the Caucasian people.  They have killed so many. …  But who will pay for the killing of Palestinians, men and women, and children?” Minister Farrakhan continued.

Rest assured that Israel will never have peace based on lying, stealing and murdering the Palestinian people.

But there is talk, plans and desires to retake Gaza and build Israeli settlements there. Many have been talking about this publicly since Oct. 7, 2023.

Reuters reported Oct. 21, “Jewish settlers, including ministers in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet, gathered on the border of Gaza … where they called for settlements Israel evacuated two decades ago to be re-established in the war-torn Palestinian enclave.

“Israel withdrew its military and settlers from Gaza in 2005 after a 38-year occupation, and Netanyahu has said it does not intend to maintain a permanent presence again.

“But as Israel’s war on the enclave’s Hamas rulers has entered a second year, Netanyahu has yet to provide clarity on who he sees governing Gaza after the war. Some of his government allies, however, have been explicit about their own endgame.

“‘If we want it, we can renew settlements in Gaza,’ National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir told the hundreds who gathered for a two-day outdoor conference titled ‘preparing to resettle Gaza,’ held about 3 km (2 miles) from the enclave.

“The conference was organized by members of Netanyahu’s Likud party and the Nahala organization, a group of ideological settlers in the occupied West Bank, who see themselves as pioneers redeeming Biblical heartland promised by God.

“Most world powers deem settlements built in territory Israel seized in the 1967 war as illegal under international law and their expansion as an obstacle to peace, since they eat away at land the Palestinians want for a future state.”

Back in March, Orla Guerin reported for BBC: “Settler numbers are rising fast under Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. Who wouldn’t want a house on the beach? For some on Israel’s far-right, desirable beachfront now includes the sands of Gaza. Just ask Daniella Weiss, 78, the grandmother of Israel’s settler movement, who says she already has a list of 500 families ready to move to Gaza immediately.

“‘I have friends in Tel Aviv,’ she says, ‘so they say, “Don’t forget to keep for me a plot near the coast in Gaza,” because it’s a beautiful, beautiful coast, beautiful golden sand.’ She tells them the plots on the coast are already booked.”

“You can call it ethnic cleansing. I repeat again, the Arabs do not want, normal Arabs do not want to live in Gaza. If you want to call it cleansing, if you want to call it apartheid, you choose your definition. I choose the way to protect the state of Israel,” another settler told the reporter.

These desires help to explain part of why the near-total destruction of Gaza is so much a part of Mr. Netanyahu’s genocidal campaign. If Palestinians aren’t on the land, it’s easier to take the land. If Gaza is razed it can be rebuilt in the image and likeness of whatever Israel, an illegal settler state, desires.

So, the slaughter of a people goes hand and hand with desires to steal their land and is the way those who lust for and occupy land have always operated. The United Nations has warned the decimation of Gaza has been so complete that it would take some 70 years to rebuild.

Israel may see that as plenty of time to exterminate Palestinians and fulfil their wicked vision. They would be sadly mistaken. The God of Justice is on scene today and the Israelis and their backers cannot avoid His wrath, anger or judgment.
