Peace and the lessons of The Treaty of Hudaybiyya

 I made a recent post regarding the words of General Dwight D Eisenhower and President Biden which was intended to show of the extremity that is required by "our side -read the Jews- whereby the testimony of actual world leaders is needed to confirm the truth that what happened to our people actually happened.

THEN (in 1945)

"But the most interesting -- although horrible -- sight that I encountered during the trip was a visit to a German internment camp near Gotha. The things I saw beggar description. While I was touring the camp I encountered three men who had been inmates and by one ruse or another had made their escape. I interviewed them through an interpreter. The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they [there] were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to 'propaganda'."

"We continue to uncover German concentration camps for political prisoners in which conditions of indescribable horror prevail. I have visited one of these myself and I assure you that whatever has been printed on them to date has been understatement. If you would see any advantage in asking about a dozen leaders of Congress and a dozen prominent editors to make a short visit to this theater in a couple of C-54's, I will arrange to have them conducted to one of these places where the evidence of bestiality and cruelty is so overpowering as to leave no doubt in their minds about the normal practices of the Germans in these camps."
Cable, DDE to George C. Marshall, 4/19/45 [The Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower, The War Years IV, doc #2424]

"When I found the first camp like that I think I never was so angry in my life. The bestiality displayed there was not merely piled up bodies of people that had starved to death, but to follow out the road and see where they tried to evacuate them so they could still work, you could see where they sprawled on the road. You could go to their burial pits and see horrors that really I wouldn't even want to begin to describe. I think people ought to know about such things. It explains something of my attitude toward the German war criminal. I believe he must be punished, and I will hold out for that forever." commander of Allied Forces Europe Dwight D Eisenhower Press conference, 6/18/45 [DDE's Pre-Presidential Papers, Principal File, Box 156, Press Statements and Releases, 1944-46 (1)]

NOW

“Rape, beheadings, bodies burned alive — Hamas committed atrocities that recall the worst ravages of ISIS,” Biden said, “unleashing pure, unadulterated evil on the world. There’s no rationalizing it.”
"For me as the U.S. president there's no higher priority than the release and safe return of all these hostages," he said of the fate of those abducted by terrorists.
“They will never be truly gone,” he said of those over 1,400 who perished in the massacre, which he linked with the Nazi Holocaust. “There’s something that is never fully lost, your love for them and their love for you."
Yet the present crisis will be nothing like the Holocaust, Biden said, because among others the Jewish people have the backing of their American allies.
“We will not stand by and do nothing again. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever,” he said.
“The State of Israel was born to be a safe place for the Jewish people. While it may not feel that way today… Israel must again be a safe place for the Jewish people.”
President Joe Biden's speech in Israel 18th Oct 2023

How this same message was echoed in the words President Bill Clinton expressed in his keynote address at the opening of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, in Washington, D.C., on April 22, 1993:

“those of us here today representing the nations of the West,”(who) …” must live forever with this knowledge--even as our fragmentary awareness of crimes grew into indisputable facts, far too little was done.”

Even now after the murderous barbarity of the 7th of October the empathy of the world is focused on the "Palestinians" and their "plight".

It is beyond belief how many major sources for control over the "minds of men" are siding with the "Palestinians" where ONLY after actual visual proof is given even words are not believed.
It is sickingly beyond belief how the word social media is bamboozled and brainwashed with a false narrative, flooded and focused on the stories of the lies behind the misery of the poor people of Gaza.

Historically documented facts of how we Jews, who are indigenous to the land and have one place to call home are blatantly ignored.
How a totally false narrative of how Jews and Arabs lived side by side in peace prior to the arrival of the "Zionists" has been spread.

Nary a word is given regarding the denial that the "Arabs of the Mandated Areas"are those who began this entire conflict by rejecting the UNR 181 Partition which “recommended the creation of independent Arab and Jewish States".

So what truly is the issue? As Gavin Kadey recently posted in his article entitled; "What The West Doesn’t Get About the Middle East" is that it all stems from from the Moslem conquest of our homeland by the forces of Islam in 635CE making iy the territory of Islam (Dar al-Islam).
For the "Palestinians" -Hamas- Israel belongs to the territory of war (Dar al-Harb – the area controlled by infidels), due to its conquest of what have historically been viewed as Islamic Palestinian lands. This idea, which relies on al-Qaradawi ruling that Israel is an enemy of Islam and the Muslim nation (against which a jihad must be fought).
The laws of jihad or holy war if necessary and there is no other choice then one can take a break, agree to a "Hudna" ceasefire or sign an agreement all based on "The Treaty of Hudaybiyya" between Muhammad, son of Abdullah, and Suhail, son of 'Amr [the envoy of Mecca] in 628CE.

In his article "Islamic Peace Treaties," John F. Schmidt argued that a Muslim "makes a peace treaty with an opponent with the sole purpose of suddenly destroying his treaty partner in an overwhelming surprise attack."

In an article entitled "I Believe Arafat," Dr. Mordechai Kedar wrote about Yasser Arafat's (May 15, 2002) address to the Palestinian Legislative Council in Ramallah on the occasion of the 54th anniversary of the 1948 Nakba.
Dr. Kedar had this to say about Arafat's position:

"I do indeed believe Arafat's message: He does wish to come to an agreement with the Israelis, but, as he points out to his followers, any agreement with non-Muslims… is simply a modern version of Hudaybiyya. As such, in accordance with Islamic principles which form the basis of the political culture in the Arab sphere, such a commitment may (or must) be broken at the right time."

Like Kedar, Schmidt draws the conclusion that Arafat's reference to al-Hudaybiyya is intended to rally Muslims behind the Oslo Accords, only to betray them later on:

John F. Schmidt stated that treachery was the expressed goal of Yasser Arafat, and the so called "Palestinian Authority" in the signing of the Oslo Accords. We glean this fact from Arafat's reference to "al-Hudaybiyya" in explaining himself in numerous public appearences before his Islamic supporters.

In all the attempts that we Israelis have attempted to make "Peace" with the "Palestinians" in which they have shown the world a false front to elicit support by those naive and unknowning of the Islamic Arabic culure and society.

Western leaders who are NOT educated in the intricacies of Islam will never understand with whom we are dealing with.
