On Eid Al-Adha Holiday: Still Arabs Are Killing Arabs And Muslims Are Killing Muslims.

By Sodium

I have been reluctant even to touch, in a remote way, Eid Al-Adha and I have felt that as much as I want to wish my Muslim friends and readers good wishes for the Eid, it may sound shallow and meaningless, when I examine the map of the globe and see Arabs are killing Arabs and Muslims are killing Muslims. At the top of all that, not a single house has been rebuilt in Gaza after the Ziofascists of Israel had committed war crimes, in their hatred and barbarity and destroyed it almost totally and completely. Although I do feel that Israel must be forced by the international community to rebuild what it has destroyed and pay compensation to every Gazan civilian it murdered or injured, ( either pay or we will de-legitimize you ), I do blame as much the wealthy Arabs and Muslims for lack of compassion for Gaza and its suffering people.

Under such enormous human sufferings and tragedies, would my best wishes make any difference ? I think my wishes would have sounded superficial and empty. Hence, I refrain from offering my best wishes, at this time. I do hope to offer them on the next Eid, providing the killings stopped and rebuilding Gaza materialized.

End. 

Israel's Ziofascists Have Advocated Rape, As A Weapon Of War In Gaza.

By Sodium

NOTE: [ This essay is being written as a record of what the hard core Zionists of Israel had advocated to do to Palestinian women during the invasion of Gaza in July-August war of 2014. ]

The well known fascists of the world, especially in the Western World, had advocated all sorts of ugly practices against certain groups of minorities they did not like and wished to get rid of. So had done the Nazis of Germany, particularly against the Jews of Germany and the rest of Western Europe. To my knowledge, neither fascists nor Nazis had advocated the usage of Rape as a Weapon of War. That was precisely what the Ziofascists, ( the hard core Zionists ), in Israel had advocated to be done by the Israeli soldiers who invaded part of Gaza in July-August, 2014. To me, this is the lowest of all lows. And because of that, I have taken the responsibility to record it, here, for the whole people of the world to see and read; and then reach their own conclusions about such a criminal advocacy :

( 1 )  In a radio interviews in Israel, Mr. Mordechai Kader, an expert on the Middle East at Israel 's Bar Ilan University, had advocated raping Palestinian women as a weapon of war, and I quote, here,  of what he had advocated: " Nothing could deter Palestinian terrorists except the knowledge that their sisters or mothers will be raped. "

Sodium 's  Comments For ( 1 ):
===============================
What kind of an appropriate response such kind of a criminal advocacy deserves except calling the advocators the scums of the humanity and deserve to be hung by their balls until they die. as a just punishment ?. The real terrorists are not the Gazan resisters to Israel's brutalities and barbarity, but those who advocated the criminal acts of rape as a weapon of war.

( 2 )  A group of women had written to the President of Bar Ilan University in Israel, protesting the advocacy of raping Palestinian women, as a weapon of war, and rejecting providing a legitimacy to Israeli soldiers to rape Palestinian women. The response they had received from the university was astounding in backing Mr. Mordechai Kader' s advocacy of raping Palestinian women; and I would quote it, here, for the whole world to see and read and for the records: Kedar had simply described " the bitter reality of the Middle East. "

Sodium 's  Comments For ( 2 ):
================================
" Bitter reality of the Middle East " is my foot....etc.....
If  an Arab expert on the Middle East, at an Arab University, had made similar advocacy of raping Israeli women, as a weapon of war, the whole Western world would have jumped in the arena in support of Israel 's "  right for self-defense ? " which would have provided Israel with more pretext to murder more Palestinian women and children. In Kader' s case of advocating raping Palestinian women, as a weapon of war, not a single Western leader or politician or public figure had once, just once, condemned such a criminal advocacy, in spite of the news of the advocacy had been transmitted through out the globe. Double Standard ?  You bet it is.

END.          

Zionism And The Gaza Wars.

By Sodium

The evidence resulting from all the criminal wars Israel has waged, so far, against the Palestinian people, especially against the civilian population of Gaza, has become glaringly clear, at least to me:

The Ziofascists of  Israel want to slaughter as many Palestinians as they possible can. And the fundamental reason behind such an inhuman barbarity has to do with the undercurrent demography that has been shaping up in the entire mandated Palestine, which includes Israel itself, West bank and Gaza Strip. Such a trend is beyond Israel's ability to overcome, in spite of the unprecedented Uncle Sam' s generosity, ranging from military, financial, diplomatic and geopolitical generosities. In short, the demography in the old mandated Palestine is developing in the Palestinians favor for two major reasons:

(1) In recent years, more Jews have already migrated from Israel to other countries such as U.S.A., Western Europe, Canada, or Australia than the number of Jews who have settled in Israel or in the settlements built illegally on stolen Palestinian lands. In fact, more than one million highly educated and professional Israelis have already left Israel and settled in the countries that were just mentioned.

(2) The birth rate among the Palestinians inside Israel itself, West Bank and Gaza Strip is greater than among Israeli Jews.

Such a trend Israel cannot possibly win. In fact, it points to a bleak future for Israel. Hence, the most intelligent Israelis have observed the writings on the wall and have already migrated from Israel to other countries, for good.

No power on Earth can help Israel from such a trend. Only the Ziofascist leaders of Israel can, when they recognize two basic facts:

FACT ONE:
=============
Zionism is the product of late nineteenth century Europe. So were the ideologies of Fascism and Nazism. There is a parallel there between Zionism on one hand and Fascism and Nazism on the other hand. Both Fascism and Nazism were destructive ideologies that caused the slaughter of millions upon millions of innocent human beings. So is what Zionism doing right now in its endless wars against the Palestinian people. Only the Ziofascists of Israel can change that and save themselves, when they reject the destructive ideology of Zionism and just be good conscientious Jews.

FACT TWO:
=============         
The Ziofascists of Israel must be aware of the fact that their existence happened to be in an Arab neighborhood, stretching from northern Syria in the East to the Atlantic Ocean shores of Morocco in the West, with a total population of more than 320 million. Israel cting as the Bully in such a neighborhood has not worked and it is not working as the recent war in Gaza has proven and it is not going to work in the future. And sooner or later, the bully is going to be shocked what such an enduring neighborhood can do to the bully. The Ottomans tried it and they lost. The French tried it and they were kicked out. The British tried it and they were kicked out too.

Final Words:
============
The writer of this essay has refrained from calling the Israeli Zionists as "  Ziofascists " for so many years, in the hope that they would wise-up and de-Zionize themselves from such a destructive ideology and walk humbly with the Palestinians to the alter of peace. What the hard core Zionists in Israel, led by the right wing Likud Party, had done to the civilian population of Gaza, especially to women, children and disabled old people, in the war, they waged against Gaza, in July-August, 2014 had compelled me to start using the term, " Ziofascists, " as a fitting term that is compatible with their criminal behaviors in the war--fascist and Nazi behaviors which all humanity had endured in the last century, until both fascism and Nazism were defeated on the ground. So must Zionism and its Ziofascist adherents.

A Note To the Readers Of This Website.

Dear Readers Across The Globe,

This note is being addressed to you to let you know that I am still alive and breathing and doing okay health-wise. And the reason behind the fact that I have not written any essay since July 13,2014 has been my profound interest in the recent Gaza War. I have followed it hour by hour on the Internet and at the same time I have tried exposing the barrage of the shameless lies, fabricated by the hard core Zionists of the current Israel's government of Benjamin Netanyahu, to the American public as much as I possibly could, by posting certain commentaries on three different websites which were/ are more read by American readers than this website, which was fundamentally designed for global readership, not merely for American readers. Besides, I have tried to keep this website intellectually stimulating for those global readers interested in genuine knowledge about religions, international geopolitics and its tail, " The International Diplomacy."

At the moment, I am closely following the temporary Hudna, ( temporary cease fire ), of the Gaza War; and the subsequent indirect negotiations that have been going on in Cairo, Egypt, under the leadership of the Egyptian government.

As you may see that the reason has nothing to do with health, or technical difficulties, or ignoring my profound feeling of obligations toward everyone of you, but this immoral, barbaric and savage war being waged against women, children and the rest of the civilian population of Gaza.

Sooner or later, I shall return to writing the usual weekly essay on this website. And I will certainly write about the Gaza War of 2014. Meanwhile, try to catch up on reading the essays that have been published on this website and, for one reason or another, you have, somehow, missed reading.

May the future be kind to the victimized and agonized people of Gaza. I do feel that I am one of them; and my empathy toward them all is limitless.

And shame and more shame on the current criminal government of Israel and shame on every country that has tried to defend the indefensible and criminal acts committed by a bunch of fascist adherents to the destructive ideology of Zionism.

Pity the nation that claims that Israel has the right for self-defense, ( although Israel has started the war ), and dares not say a single word about Palestinians rights for self-defense, out of fear of the powerful and destructive Zionist pressure group, (Lobby ), called the American Israel Public Relations Committee, or ( AIPAC ), for short, in Washington DC.

AIPAC practically controls the Halls of Congress of the United States of America and dictates, on Congress, what American policies Israel wants the United States to follow and apply in the Middle East. Whether such dictated policies are detrimental or unhelpful to the global interest of the United States, especially in the Middle East, is un-important, as long as Israel's interest served first. Period. Only an enlightened American public can change such detrimental activities for the best interest of the United States. And that is precisely what I am trying to do, however small my attempts might have been. The most important is to continue the attempts and hope for fair American policies towards the genuine victims, the Palestinian people. One day, I do trust that America will do the right thing. It is just a matter of time. And that requires supreme human patience.      
Sincerely,
Sodium. 

Balfour Declaration & Sykes-Picot Accord Are Roots Of Violence / Wars In Middle East.

By Sodium

What one sees chaos, violence and wars in the Middle East, these days, is fundamentally due to political criminal acts committed by certain Western powers which had publicly or secretly made the following two documents, during World War One, ( WW 1, for short ):

( 1 )  Balfour Declaration.
( 2 )  Sykes-Picot Accord.

In order to provide the interested readers of this website with a clear picture of what was going on, during WW !, it is imperative to show how each of the two documents, specified above, has been developed and eventually signed and made official documents, serving only the interest of two colonial powers, namely Great Britain and France, without taking into considerations the welfare and humanity of the people of the Middle East:

( 1 ) Balfour Declaration:
===========================
Such a declaration has been expressed in a letter signed by Mr. Arthur James Balfour, the British Foreign Secretary, ( Minister of Foreign Affairs ), addressed to Lord Rothschild, a wealthy Zionist Jew who had promised the British that he would deliver a reluctant America into WW 1 The text of Mr. Balfour' s letter addressed to Lord Rothschild is quoted below:

Quote
========

 FOREIGN   OFFICE ( Of  Britain. )

November 2nd, 1917

Dear Lord Rothschild,

I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of his Majesty Government that following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved, by, the Cabinet.

His Majesty 's Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.

I would be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist federation.

Yours Sincerely,
Arthur James Balfour

Unquote
==========

It must be pointed out that Mr. Balfour had written the above quoted letter to Lord Rothschild, after obtaining the formula for the synthesis of Acetone, ( a chemical compound that could be used in the manufacturing of Chemical Weapons ), from  Dr. Chaim Wiseman who was well known Organic Chemist and who discovered Acetone. In addition of being a well known Organic Chemist, Wiseman was also a well known Zionist leader. It is so obvious to the writer of this essay that Wiseman could not have given Balfour the formula for the synthesis of Acetone without getting " something " from Balfour, in return. That " something " was the letter signed by Balfour and addressed to Lord Rothschild and quoted above. Ever since, it has been known as The Balfour Declaration. What really had taken place between Balfour and Wiseman resembles, in a way, a typical " Horses Trading " which, in the real business world, simply meant: " I am willing to trade my horse with yours."

Wiseman' s " horse " was the formula for the synthesis of Acetone and Balfour' s " horse " was The Balfour Declaration, as quoted above. Since those two men have " Traded Horses," the Palestinians have suffered ever since and to a lesser degree the Jews have suffered also, ever since.

Question: Since it is only a letter, why it is called a Declaration ?
Answer: Because Mr. Balfour himself had called it a Declaration twice, within the text of  his letter, addressed to Lord Rothschild. The word " declaration " appears in the beginning and last sentences, respectively, of the text of the letter quoted above.

As Israel was created in May of 1948, Chaim Wiseman became the first President of Israel, although he was not the first choice for such a position. The first choice was Albert Einstein who wisely and politely had declined accepting the offer, because he wanted Arabs and Jews to live side by side, together in the land called, then, Palestine. It seems to the writer of this essay that the brilliant Einstein knew, or at least had envisioned, what would happen, after Israel was created at the expense of the Palestinian people: endless wars between Arabs and Zionists over Palestine. If the hard core Zionists were smart enough, they could have learned from Einstein' s wisdom/envision. They were ( and still are ) arrogant zealots and paranoid; because of which they had/have been unable to realize that the project of Zionism had/has already failed, so far, in bringing to them peace, but endless wars and bleak future, in spite of all military, financial political and diplomatic assistance Israel keeps fleecing and abusing the great institutions of the United States of America, through the destructive power of its AIPAC, the political pressure group, well known, in Washington DC and in the Halls of Congress as the " AIPAC  LOBBY. " 

And because of the unlimited and endless American support, at all levels, Israel has become an arrogant and intoxicated with its own power; the consequences of which has been total abuse of the fundamental human rights of the Palestinian people, and at the same time it has ignored the fact that its shaky existence will always be in an Arab neighborhood whose population in the streets resents its abusive practices against the fundamental human rights of the Palestinian people and resent also its obvious arrogant intoxication with the unlimited and endless support of  the American vast powers. And because of all of that, Israel has ended-up being an Apartheid State.

In short, Apartheid States cannot possibly have a bright future, but a bleak one. The cycle of history says so.

( 2 ) Sykes-Picot Accord:
=========================
This accord was established secretly, during WW 1,  between Sykes, a British diplomat and Picot, a French diplomat. The whole purpose of the accord was to divide the whole Middle East, after the demise of the Ottoman Empire between Britain and France. In fact, after winning WW 1,  Britain and France had ended up dividing the whole Arab world between themselves. Under the Ottoman Empire, one could travel  from the Turkish city of Istanbole, in the East to the Moroccan city of Casablanca in the West, without encountering any serious handicap or rather hindrance, such as Passport Controls and Customs Controls. The British and French have divided the whole Arab world into 22 countries and colonized them as they saw fit. Each one of the 22 countries has its own puppet government, identified by geographical borders; and each one of the 22 separated identities has created its own Passport Control and Customs Control. In short, both Britain and France had applied the ugly policy of " Divide and Rule, " in order to rule the resentful Arab population.

In fact, France, at one point in history, had considered Algeria as an integral part of France. It took the Algerian people a long struggle and sacrificing more than one million martyrs to get rid of the French rule. Similarly, the British had practiced the policy of  " Divide and Rule, " notably in India, Egypt, Iraq, Palestine, Cyprus and Yemen. The British Empire of 1917 biggest and ugliest political crime has been what it had done in Palestine: helped creating Israel on the expense of the Palestinian people who were the genuine and true owners of the lands of Palestine. What one can expect from an Empire whose policy was to " Divide and Rule " for keeping the population of its vast colonies under control ?  The most tragic consequences of such a policy was after the Empire was forced to withdraw from some of its colonies. Samples:

~  After the British Empire withdrew from India, the stage was set for Indian Hindus fighting Indian Muslims over Kashmire, an Indian region whose vast majority of people were/are Muslims. Such a fight has been going on ever since the withdrawal, and continued till present time
~  After the British Empire withdrew from Palestine, Zionist Jews started fighting Palestinian Arabs. Such a fight has been going on ever since the withdrawal, and continued till present time.
~  After the British Empire withdrew from Cyprus, a fight had/has started between Greeks and Turks. Such a fight has been going on ever since the withdrawal, and continued till present time.

Any reader who is interested in the meticulous details of the Sykes-Picot Accord must conduct his own research via good libraries and the Internet. This website can only provide you with an outline or a brief review of it, free of charge.

Final words:
=================
It is so obvious that neither Britain nor France had any right to do what they had done to the people of the Middle East and every place else they conquered by sheer military forces. Who, in Palestine, had given the authority to Arthur James Balfour to author a declaration to Lord Rothschild, or making a " Horse's Trading " with Chaim Wiseman, on the expense of the Palestinian Arabs and Palestinian Jews who were innocents of the crimes committed against the European Jews?  In fact, Palestinian Arabs and Palestinian Jews used to baby sit for one another, as their daily circumstances had dictated to do so. Therefore, what one sees, these days, of bloodshed and apparently an endless chaos and violence, have its roots in those two horrible documents, authored by two Western colonial powers, during World War One. It must be said again and again and again, and an endless again, that those two Western colonial powers had no right, whatsoever, doing what they had done to the colonized people of  the Middle East and North Africa. An apology will not be good enough. They should pay financial reparations to the people of that region of the world, through the International Court of Justice.

" What ( does ) Tysir Mean In Arabic ( ? ) "

By Sodium

Please notice that the whole title of this essay has been deliberately placed between quotations. This is so because the writer of this essay has not raised the question himself, but has found the question written as " what tysir means in Arabic " without the question mark " ? " and without  the word " does. "  They were added by this essay's writer who has no idea who has risen the question. As it has happened more than once in the past, some one had tried to reach me, to address the question to me, but some how could not reach me. As always, it is always a pleasure to extend a helping hand to the person who had left the question on Google's feed back to me. And below is the answer:

Tysir and also can be written as Tyseer, simply means " Making Easy. "  or it means also " Making Smooth " or " Making Less Difficult."

The above definitions remind me of the four monumental volumes authored by the late Shaykh Ibrahim Qattan who authored the four volumes before he died and titled them as spelled below:

Tysir al-Tafsir, also written as Tyseer al-Tafseer. Let us define the two words of  Tysir and Tafsir separately and then combine the meaning of the two words to get the net result of the two definitions::

We have already known the definition of Tysir which means, "Making Easy. "
al-tafsir, also written as al-afseer, means simply " The Interpretation "

Well, The Interpretation of what ?  Answer: The Interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an. That was what Shaykh Ibrahim Qattan had achieved, when he had authored and published the following monumental volumes, all interpreting the verses of the Qur'an:

*  Tysir Al-Tafsir  Volume One.
*  Tysir Al-Tafsir  Volume Two
*  Tysir Al-Tafsir  Volume  Three
*  Tysir Al-Tafsir  Volume Four.

All four volumes are in my home's library and they are the ones I consult first, when I need help in any interpretation of any verse, as written, in the Qur'an.

Therefore, the net result of the definitions is the following title for the four monumental volumes:

Tysir al-Tafir also written as Tyseerr al-Tafseer simply means " Making Easy The Interpretation."

Brief Comments About The Late Shaykh Ibrahim Qattan:
==================================================
Shaaykh Ibrahim Qattan was a Jordanian citizen who, in his younger years, had attended Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, for several years. After graduation frm Al-Azhar, he returned to Jordan and worked for the Jordanian government. He served as " Wazeer Al-Ma'arif " meaning, " Minister of Education " several times, in different governments, headed by different prime ministers. The last appointment he held and served honorably very well in it, before he died, was "Judge of the Judges, " roughly equivalent to the position of the. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
 
Final words:
===============
The interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an has never been easy. Shaykh Ibrahim Qattan had chosen such a title, in my view, to encourage other Islamic scholars to dig into Ijtihad, meaning relentless researches; and come up with their own interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an. Unfortunately, some Islamic scholars had spent a life time in Ijtihad and died before they could finish their hard work, let alone publishing it. Shaykh Ibrahim Qattan was an exception, indeed, because he was fully backed by Prince Hassan, the youngest brother of the late King Hussein of Jordan. Prince Hassan was, then, the Crown Prince of Jordan when he had commissioned Shaykh Ibrahim Qattan to do the interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an.
