Editor’s Note: Due to Zionist lobbying, Hamas is considered a proscribed terrorist group in the US, UK, and several other nations. However, in 2018, the UN rejected a motion to condemn Hamas. The majority of nations consider Hamas to be the legitimate government of the Palestinians.

Due to these legal restrictions in the West, at MuslimSkeptic, we are not allowed to support Hamas. However, we are also under no legal obligation to condemn them. We are also legally allowed to investigate factual questions, such as whether or not Hamas committed terrorism on October 7th. We are also legally able to praise Palestinians in general, as well as to praise the Palestinian resistance to genocide and occupation in general terms. This right of Palestinians to militarily resist genocide is also licit according to international law.

Despite controlling most of mainstream and social media, Zionists have suffered huge losses in the ongoing online war. Not only have their lies been completely exposed, but their reputation has been tarnished beyond repair. Support for Palestine and opposition to Israel has never been greater among the global masses, for whom the truth is becoming clearer with every passing day.

However, despite this tidal wave favoring Haqq, i.e., the truth, there is one issue where the Zionists have still managed to keep their narrative going: to label Hamas as a group of terrorists that must be exterminated by any means, even if that means completely flattening all of Gaza and killing all of its inhabitants.

The question is: Did Hamas commit terrorism on Oct 7th?

Fighting Against Unjust Oppression

For starters, what Hamas is fighting against is 75 years of unjust oppression and the brutalization of their lands and people at the hands of Israel. Zionists often tend to forget that history didn’t begin on October the 7th, 2023. As Andrew Tate stated in a viral interview with Piers Morgan, this was a boiling pot that was just waiting to explode. When an evil group invades you, practices settler colonialism by illegally occupying and stealing your lands, dehumanizes you, ethnically cleanses and massacres your people, undertakes an operation of mass—both slow and accelerated—genocide against you, and pays off those you may have considered allies to simply abandon you, it is not merely morally justified, it is absolutely necessary to fight back. Otherwise, the only alternative is to just sit back and wait to be murdered, not just you but everyone you love and care about too.

October the 7th Was Not a Terror Attack

“But what about the thousands of innocent lives that were mercilessly ended by Hamas?”

“What about all the women they savagely raped?”

“What about all the babies they brutally decapitated?”

This tired Zionist rhetoric of condemning Hamas for October 7th has become old and boring, and, as it turns out, MOST of the Israeli deaths that day were actually self-inflicted.

Zionists have provided ZERO proof that Hamas leadership directed their soldiers to intentionally kill women and children, to rape women, or decapitate babies. The Zionists claim that Hamas soldiers did, in fact, commit mass rape, mass baby decapitation, and mass non-combatant slaughter. But all these allegations have been proven to be false, mostly by their own Israeli sources.

On the flip side, it was the IDF who, under the Hannibal Directive, carried out heavy, indiscriminate shelling, massacring a sizeable portion—if not most—of the people on that day, killing both their own soldiers and countless civilians.

For clear, undeniable evidence and documentation exposing the false Israeli narrative regarding October 7th, readers should peruse the following excellent articles compiled by our dear brother, Aydin Yilmaz:

In light of everything we now know, the following question should be posed to Zionists every time they ask whether or not we condemn Hamas:

“Do you condemn Israel and the IDF for what they did on October the 7th?”

Do you condemn ISRAEL for the brutal atrocities it intentionally committed against Israelis on October 7, 2023?

The Treatment of Israeli Hostages

And of course, the grand display of kindness, compassion, and humanity that quickly became a global sensation certainly warrants mentioning here, that is, the treatment of Israeli hostages by the soldiers of Hamas. Leading up to this moment, the world was waiting with bated breath, nervous to see the trauma experienced by the hostages, praying that the physical and psychological torture that they endured at the hands of the “evil Mozlem terrorists” would be somewhat reversible. After all, that is precisely what the Israeli Zionist narrative had primed them to believe.

However, nobody could have predicted the heartwarming scenes that actually unfolded. The entire world was left speechless as they witnessed the “traumatized” Israeli hostages beaming with smiles and laughter, merrily bidding farewell to their Hamas captors while thanking them from the bottom of their hearts for the kind and loving treatment they had received. Hugs, high fives, and fist bumps were the last thing anyone expected to see in this war—certainly not from the side of the “evil Mozlem terrorists”! The decades of extreme Zionist propaganda that was slowly unraveling itself, suddenly came undone all at once. The smiles and cheers of the Israeli hostages was nothing short of a nightmare for the Israeli government. It was an complete PR disaster. Just imagine being utterly humiliated by the happiness and safety of your own people… truly a shame.

It is now crystal clear that the Zionist depiction of Hamas as evil devils risen from the deepest depths of Hell is baseless and a complete fabrication.

Fighting to Defend Islam and Masjid-al-Aqsa

Furthermore, this is a war that is being fought not only to defend the Palestinian people but to defend Islam and one of the holiest places in the world, Masjid al-Aqsa. This is a site that rightfully belongs to the Muslims, and, for the past 75 years, the Israeli forces have been hell-bent on forcefully stealing it from them. It’s one of the reasons why the Palestinians won’t abandon their blessed homeland at the first sign of danger.

Defending Masjid al-Aqsa is a duty that every Muslim in the world bears some responsibility for, and, right now, it is the Palestinians who are on the ground, carrying out this immense obligation on our behalf. It is an honorable task bestowed upon the fortunate. And so far, they have executed this task splendidly, making the entire Muslim Ummah proud of their efforts. It is essential that we support them in every way possible, rather than buckling under the pressure exerted by Israel and the West and calling them terrorists.

Fighting With Their Backs to the Wall

Both in terms of numbers and technology, Hamas is fighting an extremely uphill battle. The IDF has 169,500 active soldiers, plus another 465,000 in reserves. They also have a huge budget:

Israel’s defence budget, including US aid, is believed to be around $23.6 billion (£19 billion) in 2023.

Alongside its mammoth wartime size, the IDF has a “a very capable” modern air force, according to Dr Kaushal, as it is equipped with developed aircrafts like the F-15, F-16 and the F-35.

 

It also has its highly effective Iron Dome missile defence system, designed to shoot down incoming projectiles – the type that Hamas are currently firing.

In contrast, Hamas reportedly only has some 30,000 soldiers, and the most advanced technology that they possess is found in the form of low-power rockets. Despite this immense variance in strength and firepower, the IDF is terrified of engaging in a face-to-face confrontation with Hamas and only resorts to aerial bombing from afar. They conduct ground invasions only when they’re absolutely certain they will only come across unarmed civilians who they can massacre and blow to shreds, as target practice. Sometimes, they avoid humans altogether and prefer to shoot walls, ghosts, their imaginary friends, and the air.

Fighting With Angels Beside Them

By now, many of you have probably come across the audio recording of a terrified IDF soldier, stammering about fighting ghosts on the battlefield.

Many have taken this as a strong indication that we’re returning to the time of miracles, when the help of Allah would send angels to aid a group of believers who are wholeheartedly fighting in His cause.

Of course, it is also possible that there weren’t any angels fighting them. It may have simply been Allah causing their hearts to become completely consumed with fear, to the extend that they fear everything around them. It would certainly explain why they are constantly shooting at oxygen and dust particles.

And behold! Your Lord revealed to the angels: Indeed, I am with you. So confirm those who have believed. I shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. So strike at the necks [of the disbelievers], and strike from them every fingertip! (Qur’an, 8:12)

Courageously fighting in the way of Allah against unjust tyranny, oppression, and genocide, defending Islam while being outnumbered and ill-equipped, and receiving help from Allah, whether in the form of angels or Allah striking fear into their hearts—all of these echo of the battles from Islamic history, where, when anyone with common sense may have deemed it a lost battle, the determined Muslims still emerged victorious, sending waves of awe rippling throughout the world. Such glorious occasions got the entire world interested in Islam, speaking about it, learning about it, and embracing it. Besides fighting against injustice, battles of this nature were also a profound and powerful form of Da’wah, and this brings me to my final point.

The Most Effective Form of Da’wah

One of the best ways of conveying your message to the world is by actually walking the talk. Live by your creed. Personify it. The Palestinians have done just that. The sheer determination that they’ve shown in the face of such brutal oppression is nothing short of amazing. Watching the unbreakable resolve of the Palestinians, their unwavering belief and reliance in Allah, how they remain so devout in such dire circumstances, how they endure their grief with nothing but unsurpassable determination.

All of this has piqued the curiosity of countless people all over the world, in a way that they never could’ve imagined. Even the most hardcore atheist liberal was left to wonder, just what is it that makes these people so resilient and resolute? Just what is it they continue to hold on to with every fibre of their being that is so precious?

It makes them painfully aware that they themselves are lacking something spiritually profound, and what they saw in the Palestinians lit a powerful spark within them to look into Islam. The flame of curiosity burns in the hearts of non-Muslims all over the globe, leading them to research Islam and study the Qur’an, with many even converting to Islam.

Keeping all of the above in mind, Muslims should realize that Western media does not attach the label of “terrorist” to unjust oppressors. Rather, they use this term for anyone and everyone that they do not like. Thus, there is absolutely no reason for Muslims to be beholden by Western propaganda labels while talking about Palestine. Being subservient to such labels is exactly what they want from us. That way, they are free to steer the narrative and discussion in whatever direction they desire. Our frame of reference should not be Western Zionist politics. It should be the truth and the truth alone.
