Allaah knows best!
I'm all for patriotism and supporting our fellow brothers and sisters but you also have to be realistic. This resistance is not just about acting on emotion.
I don't question or doubt any of the ayaat of the Qur'aan but let's look at the facts on the ground.
Hizbullaah are much more organized and have better resources than the Palestinians. As a result they were able to inflict much more damage than the Palestinians have done so far.
Ok so Hamas killed 3 Israelis but the Israeli's have killed 25 Palestinians so far including so senior Hamas members?
And how many of the senior Israeli army have they managed to target?
Ok so the Amir of Qatar has pledged his support. That doesn't mean anything. They still need more manpower and support from the other arab countries as well as finances right now. That's one area where they're lacking.
The other area is that they are not very organized. You've got various groups acting independently which are not working together with Hamas. Until they work together they are not going to be a force to be reckoned with.

This is really poor analysis. In fact its dreadful.
Look at the two sides. How on earth can you compare them?
Israel the 4th (or 5th?) most powerful army in the world, has access the most sophisticated weaponry imaginable (mainly American) and has spent decades perfecting the art of torturing and humiliating the Palestinian people. Not to mention its access to resources and its backing by western powers.
Contrast this with the people of the Gaza strip. Due to the Israeli occupation it has become one of the poorest and densely populated areas on earth. And contrary to the usual deceit it is still under occupation. Israel controls its borders, its seas and its airspace. It tightly controls what goes in and out. If you want a simple example of how depraved they are at trying to control the Gazans try this article
Israel used 'calorie count' to limit Gaza food during blockade, critics claim
Defence ministry files on 'avoiding' civilian malnutrition are proof Israel used food restrictions to hit Hamas, says Palestine group
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/oct/17/israeli-military-calorie-limit-gaza
So its sealed shut, Gazans can’t develop their economy because they have severely limited access to the outside world. This isn’t helped by the regular bombardment from sea, air, land from the Israeli army almost terminally damaging any attempts to develop the economy, or for people to lead semi decent existence. To top it off they assassinate whoever they find inconvenient whenever they like regardless of the circumstances.
Now remember why Hamas came to power in Gaza, (US backed) Fatah launched a coup to remove Hamas. Didn’t turn out how they wanted and Hamas countered taking control of Gaza. Then the whole strip was put under siege, backed by Western powers and Mubarak.
So under the circumstance that they are in
How on earth are they meant to survive? Let alone build up their economy and military of the Gaza strip that is (a) under blockade and (b) regularly attacked by the Israeli army.
How on earth do you expect them to match Israel’s military might, that's an insane question to ask. Given the disparity between the two sides I just cannot understand how you can even contemplate this question
And you cant compare Hamas with Hezbollah, Hezbollah have had decades of experience fighting the Israel occupation of southern Lebanon and had far, far more favourable circumstances than the people of Gaza. (eg. Freedom of movement, ability to build infrastructure economy, access to the outside world, access to weaponry etc)
Its amazing that the people of Gaza and the Hamas government have survived this long and should be an inspiration to all, that despite the horrendous punishment they are taking they still exist.
That’s what matters.
On a personal note it’s very disappointing that Muslims brothers and sisters have attitudes displayed in the above quote, if we are to get anywhere we have to do better.
The reality is only known to the people who are there fighting and it isn't up to us to say back off you're unprepared, the very least we can do is loan our support and du3a. It isn't a matter of over confidence, it is a matter of what we're required to do in Islam which is already listed for us in our families, our money, our homes, our honor and our lands!There's no point trying to act over-confident when the reality is far from what some people are trying to portray.

The secret I found is that every time it gets really heated and ugly and I gauge it, I come out learning something new and it goes into my armamentarium for the next thing.. for what it is worth I am very glad to have you here
May Allah swt hasten their demise and make us steadfast.. We've been through worse, Shiites inside during the Fatimid, Hulago on one side and the crusades on the other.. we may not have another Salah Ad'din but we should all strive to be that not wait for one brave soul from our midst to unite us. I believe whole heartedly that Allah swt will take care of the rest.. Look how a hurricane crippled us for nearly three weeks.
They are gonna get a real bad ass whopping, that's what's gonna happen. Primitive rockets vs IDF...it's a no brainer. Yet, there is a side of me hoping for some miracle to happen that these IDFs get a real real bad beat down...Ya Allah, give guidance to both sides and let justice prevail.
By the way, any of you have some time to spare and like a good fight of words with bigots pls do come support me on the comment section of this CNN article about the recent Israeli and Palestinian conflict. I hit a few nerves over there... I go by the name of "Zain Dar"...
http://edition.cnn.com/2012/11/16/world/meast/gaza-israel-strike/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
What I have thought... Israel has so called Iron Dome system what should stop missiles and rockets from Gaza (paid by tax payers from the USA) but why it didn´t stop missiles to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem?
^o)
You may think so, but I disagree.شَادِنُ;1552886 said:
These orphan posters are irrelevant, they don't represent Israelis nor do they make it all better, it is not time for petitions and meaningless drivel to placate and stay like this oppressed far worse than south Africa which is what Desmond tutu himself said.
And how do you suggest?It is time to Muslims to unite and rid us of the opportunistic cancer in our midst!
It isn't a thought it is a fact!You may think so, but I disagree.
Oh, what can you do besides finding the lone ranger?I find the whole situation in Gaza unbearable and it is hard to feel helpless.
But we are neither helpless nor hopeless.
There are no peaceful solutions learn a little history. Israel didn't even start the so-called 'peace talks' seriously until 1993 when there was absolutely no reversal in policies stop living in lala land!So whilst there is something I can do, I will! I will unite with other pro-Palestinian people. I will pray for a peaceful solution for all parties involved - Muslims, Christians and Jews. I will speak out, inform others and sign petitions. I will support charities. It may not be much, but it is all I can do.
It doesn't matter of an all or none, it has nothing to do with it whatsoever. It is about illegal occupation which continues and will continue unless something is done about it!I will hold on to the knowledge that not all Jews are Zionists supported by like-minded Christians, and to the hope that more of more of those who are will turn away from their thinking!
Turn on your TV, have a looksyAnd how do you suggest?
No, there's no chance of that I pray for an end to the colonial settler cockroach state and may Allah swt hasten their demise!Do you hope and pray for peaceful solutions or do you think there is no chance of that?
