Do you really think you can reason with murderers?

Israel broke the Gaza ceasefire, which was a cruel farce, and restarted its operations to destroy the Palestinian people in the enclave on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has moved with murderous impunity under the protection of President Donald Trump, who is unapologetic in backing Israel.

Per usual, after Netanyahu-directed slaughter, talk of “negotiations” with the accused war criminal has surfaced

“Since Israel resumed its scorched earth bombing of Gaza on March 18, which has killed more than 890 Palestinians, including more than 300 children, the U.S. and Israel have justified the horrors by blaming Hamas, saying the group’s negotiators had rejected a U.S.-drafted offer to extend the ceasefire,” reported Jeremy Scahill of  Drop Site News, a journalist whose independent news outlet has a presence on the Substack platform.

“While this narrative dominated much of the Western news coverage surrounding the end of Phase One of the ceasefire deal on March 1, the reality is that this was a deliberate propaganda tactic pulled from Israel’s well-worn playbook of the past 17 months.

“From the start of the ‘ceasefire’ that went into effect on January 19, Israel repeatedly violated the terms by continuing to target Palestinians in Gaza, killing more than 130 during Phase One of the deal and preventing the delivery of the agreed-upon number of tents, mobile homes, fuel, and construction equipment.

Government officials in Gaza repeatedly accused Israel of allowing fewer aid trucks to enter the Strip than the agreed 600 per day. Israel also violated its commitment to begin the complete withdrawal of its forces from the Philadelphi corridor near the Egyptian border after the last exchange of captives on the 42nd day.”

According to Axios, “The U.S. gave Hamas a new proposal through Qatari mediators in an effort to release American hostage Edan Alexander and break the stalemate in the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, one U.S. official and one Israeli official said.”

“ ‘Qatari mediators told Hamas that accepting the U.S. offer would likely lead to Trump pressuring Israel to resume full talks. A senior Hamas official, however, told Drop Site that the U.S. offer was not new.’

‘This was a proposal one month ago,’ the official said, adding that Hamas publicly announced its willingness to release Alexander as a gesture of goodwill and linking it to the continuation of negotiations. ‘Israel then broke the [ceasefire] agreement,’ he added,” according to Drop Site News.

Given the suffering of Palestinians, it is not hard to understand why Hamas might consider forging an agreement with people who never keep their agreements. Hamas will never, however, achieve peace and security with people who promise only to deceive.

“But who will pay for the killing of Palestinians, men and women, and children?  Who will pay for the destruction of the Palestinian life and culture, and civilization?”

Asked the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in his Saviours’ Day 2024 address in Detroit, “What Does Allah, The Great Mahdi and The Great Messiah Have To Say About The War In The Middle East?”

“Who will pay for that! They don’t think they are going to pay!  And Netanyahu now thinks, like Pharaoh, he is God—and he talks to America like he is God.”

“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.”

In his message, Minister Farrakhan said, “Do you know that our Palestinian family, they don’t have strong friendship in the Muslim world.  Why is that?  Are we Muslims?  Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said, ‘You are not a Muslim if you don’t want for your brother what you want for yourself.’

Now, I know that the Muslim world feels the pain of the Palestinians, but they are afraid—afraid to stand.  And from the rostrum, I am asking the Muslim world to stop fearing the consequence of standing.”

This is the Day of Judgment and the Master of the Day of Judgment is on hand. The evil-doers cannot and will not escape His hand. They will meet the destruction they have so richly earned. 

As for the rest of us, as nations, and individuals we should fly to Allah (God), get on His side and stay there. The Holy Qur’an tells us those we deem powerful cannot call back a fly who steals a morsel of food from their plate. Weak are the invoker and weak are the invoked, it says.

These are the Days of Allah (God) and He will not be mocked.
