Arab Heads of State Could Have Prevented the 2009 Gaza Massacre

Being 77 years old I suffer more jet lag than younger people when I endure my long plane trip back to Seattle via New York from spending 72 days of the summer near Amman, Jordan. So I had about 17 unread magazines next to my bed in order to read one or two if I could not sleep. It was a pure accident that the one magazine that I randomly picked up in the middle of the night was the old June 7, 2010 Newsweek. And it was another apparent accident that I believe was possibly ordained by GOD that I happened to open the magazine right to a picture of J.R. Goldstone. Professor Goldstone is the hated by Israel author of the 600 page U.N. report on the 2009 Gaza War which I label not as a war but as The Israeli Massacre of Innocent Gazans.

I read about the Israeli rage toward this Jewish man and the horrible treatment his family received by Israelis and other Jews even though he also severely criticized Hamas in addition to his heavy criticism of Israel.

Since I was so recently in nearby Jordan during Israel's illegal commando attack on the unarmed peace activists' flotilla attempting to peacefully challenge the illegal blockade of Gaza, I had written quite critically about how according to the U.S. Congress and especially according to the U.S. Vice-President, Joe Biden, all illegal massacres that Israel initiates are always justified massacres. Therefore, any criticism by any person of any one of the many Israeli massacres, that person becomes a justified target for severe criticism for having the unmitigated immorality for daring to criticize the always, supposedly, innocent Israeli victims of injustice.

Thus, I was not surprised that this innocent Hebrew man who had received an honorary doctorate from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, even had members of his own family become innocent victims of Israeli and Jewish rage.

In his report it is stated that up to 1,400 Palestinians were killed. But he told the Newsweek interviewer that what he found particularly ugly, among other things, was "the widespread damage Israel had done to Gaza's civilian infrastructure, agricultural fields bulldozed, a water sanitation plant shelled, Gaza's one operating flour mill bombed from the air, schools destroyed…"

Similar to the previous occasions when I read details about the Israeli purposeful, calloused destruction of Gaza, I became almost ill. But this time in the middle of the night a new reality suddenly invaded my mind. Though each and every Arab Head of State is justifiably outraged against the Israeli carnage of innocent Gazans, in addition to being enraged, each of these Muslim Heads of Arab States should have realized that the Qur'an's Al-Imran 3:55 clearly teaches that ALLAH Himself declares that the Messiah both died and then was later raised alive to live among Muslims. So I will soon demonstrate in this paper how if not for the rigid denial by Muslim leaders of the presence among them of ALLAH's own Risen Messiah, the absence of this denial could have quite probably prevented the Gaza massacre from occurring. But each and every Muslim Head of State has casually allowed their religious advisors to convince every last Muslim that a faulty and superficial understanding of An-Nisa 4:157 and 158 should prevail in every Muslims' mind supported by an overwhelmingly ridiculous man-made myth that has no support in the Holy Qur'an but wrongly teaches that the Messiah was never raised alive. But blasphemously, the belief in the faulty incomplete understanding of 4:157 and 158 that the Messiah never died and was never raised causes the firm truth declared by no less an authority than ALLAH Himself affirming the Messiah's death and being raised, to shamelessly be cancelled but his death and resurrection are not cancelled because of any contradiction from the Holy Qur'an but cancelled because many Muslim leaders do not desire to relate to ALLAH's Risen Messiah.

So ALLAH's sacred proclamation is cancelled for contradicting the faulty understanding of An-Nisa 4:157, 158 and Al-Imran 3:55. But also his being raised alive was cancelled for daring to totally disagree with the ridiculous man-made myth about the CIA type identity switch that was supposedly pulled off to account for the Messiah supposedly not dying and supposedly not being raised alive so that he could aid Muslims after He had risen. But with all this man made manipulation of historical realities about ALLAH's Risen Messiah, possibly the greatest blasphemy of all has been the deliberate insulting of ALLAH Himself by figuratively declaring that His own statement quoted in Al-Imran 3:55 should be de facto thrown into the garbage because a man invented myth has overruled ALLAH's clear, authoritative declaration about the Messiah's both dying and being raised alive, spoken by ALLAH Himself at the beginning of Al-Imran 3:55. There the absolute truth of ALLAH's Messiah's own death and resurrection is forcefully declared in Arabic but not in the supposed English translations.

This statement in 3:55 is the truth from ALLAH Himself instead of the false understanding of An-Nisa 4:157 and 158, so the man-created myth has figuratively become an idol for religious advisors to worship, instead of them worshipping and serving ALLAH.

Regretfully these religious advisors disgracefully serve their man-made myth/idol even though this man-created myth is not in the least way supported by a scholarly approach to An-Nisa 4:157, 158 and Al-Imran 3:55 in the Holy Qur'an. Yet, this damaging myth is still brainwashing the readers of the Qur'an that the Messiah was not raised from death, thus defeating both death and the Israelis. Nevertheless, this wrong information that is in the street and regrettably, is in the mosques, is having an extremely damaging effect by giving Israel and the Israeli Lobby a tremendous psychological advantage over Arab/Muslim interests, an advantage that they should not have, which I will address later in this essay.

Because ALLAH's Messiah was supposedly not killed, so that when the Qur'an emphatically states that ALLAH raised him in An-Nisa 4:158, he was raised supposedly without him having been temporarily killed. But this faulty understanding makes a blatant lie out of ALLAH's declaration in the Holy Qur'an's own Al-Imran 3:55 which clearly confirms both the Messiah's death and the definite fact that ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might was what was used to raise him from that death. An-Nisa 4:158 emphasizes this and Al-Imran 3:55 also emphatically states this.

"Behold! ALLAH said, O Isa!, I will cause you to die (mutawafiik) and raise you to myself."—Al Imran 3:55

Yes! Tragically the fact that courageous Arab Heads of State could have prevented the Gaza Massacre as this essay's title states, is entirely true. But this brings up the question of whether Muslim Heads of State love ALLAH more, love truth more, and love innocent Muslims more? Or do you love Zionists' approval more, Islamic traditionalists' approval more, the Israeli Lobby's approval more, and the U.S. Congress' approval more than you love ALLAH, love the Qur'an, love Truth, love Justice and love Humanity? Also, do you love a man invented ridiculous myth about what those two verses in Surah An-Nisa in the Qur'an only supposedly teach? Or, do you love what the "Holy Qur'an actually does teach when the teaching of the three particular verses (4:157, 158 and 3:55) each receive your thoughtful consideration rather than your simplistic, casual consideration?

Yes, if you Muslim Arab Heads of State and your advisors would have been more attentive to what the two wonderful verses in the Qur'an truly teach when informed by the statement of ALLAH Himself in Al-Imran 3:55, the ugly massacre in Gaza, the two massacres in Iraq, more than one massacre in Lebanon, and in the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps there, bombings in Syria, and a massacre on a peace activist ship on its way to Gaza, would each have quite probably never have occurred.

Why would these atrocities never have occurred if these three verses in the Holy Qur'an were correctly understood and taken seriously instead of being neglected and even purposely misunderstood? Because if they had been understood correctly, many many Muslims would have believed in a Risen Messiah spiritually residing among them, and that would have caused the U.S. to have more respect for the believing Muslims and so the U.S. would not have allowed Muslims who believed in the Risen Messiah to be massacred.

What is the connection with correctly understanding the true ALLAH intended meaning of these three vital verses with the preventing of the U.S. and Israel from purposefully initiating so much heavy bloodshed on so many innocent victims in the Middle East? Once again the answer is that Muslims who are known to have been encouraged to bond with the Risen Messiah are Muslims that the U.S. would not have allowed Israel to use for target practice. You may object that that is evidence of blatant religious prejudice. Yes, it is. But since that is the situation, don't play into it.

How could a correct understanding of these three profound verses in the Qur'an have influenced the two trigger happy nations of Batman and Robin, I mean the U.S. and Israel, to have not murdered only hundreds of thousands, but probably well over a million innocent, mostly Muslim, victims, and displacing millions more from their homes and their nations in the two Iraq wars which Israel urged the U.S. to initiate? Because those two Iraq wars would never have been allowed by the U.S. to have occurred if the victims would have been known to become followers of ALLAH's Risen Messiah. Though that is religious prejudice, still that is the ugly reality.

This death and upheaval occurs whenever Israel and the U.S. can come up with some invented excuse to shed Muslim blood because one of the main Neo-Con doctrines is to rid the world of Islam while accomplishing geopolitical objectives in these innocent victims' nations that are always predominantly Muslim. Thus, this needless bloodshed continues to occur despite the fact that the U.S.' and Israel's contrived pretenses to shed blood in these predominantly Muslim nations is usually 95% a lie. A major reason that the U.S. sometimes may initiate war is in order to create more war to potentially aid the ever hungry U.S. Military Industrial Complex. More war supplies, more immoral commissions for the virtual army of recently retired military personnel who have become weapons salesmen and lobbyists now serving in Washington D.C., These mostly men are dependent on war to pad their already fat military retirement salaries.

The regretful Middle East bloodshed connection to these three (4:157, 158 and 3:55) now misunderstood verses in the Holy Qur'an is this:

Because of ALLAH's Messiah's supposedly not dying and as a result, not supposedly being raised alive, so he is supposedly not accessible to be in the midst of the Arab Muslims in the Middle East. Thus, this is all directly related to one horribly damaging decision being perpetuated by unaware Muslim Heads of State and their totally irresponsible and apathetic religious advisors.

Because here's the deal! You have 4:157 that flat out contains statements that the Messiah was not killed or crucified. But you have another verse in the same Holy Qur'an (Al-Imran 3:55) that flat out not only says that he would have been caused to die (mutawafiik) but that after he died, ALLAH would raise him up. And you also have the verse immediately after the verse that states that he was not killed, also saying that ALLAH raised him up. But now this verse adds that ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might were required to raise him up. So the "raised him up" phrase strongly implies that he had only been temporarily killed rather than permanently killed as it appeared to the Jews (shubbiiha lahum) that he had been.

But instead of the religious advisors, seeing the obvious evidence that he had only temporarily died, and then had been raised alive as Al-Imran 3:55 testifies that that is exactly what happened to him; he died and was raised alive.

(Behold! ALLAH said: O Isa/Jesus!, I will cause you to die (mutawafiik), and raise you to myself.)

Since this verse which was spoken by no less an authority than ALLAH Himself could not be any more clear about the Messiah's obvious death and being raised alive, you would assume that any religious advisor who is worth one piaster would observe the obvious evidence and realize that 4:157 is actually saying that it only appeared to the Jews (shubbiiha lahum) that they had killed him permanently but they had not killed him permanently because ALLAH interrupted and prevented his permanent death by using His Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might to raise him up alive. So once he was raised alive, his death had only appeared (shubbiiha) to have been permanent, but it was not permanent, it was temporary.

But instead of thinking a little and realizing the obvious, the Heads of States' religious advisors decide to reject the obvious and keep believing one of the most ridiculous, silly myths you have ever heard of. These religious advisors of these Muslim Arab Heads of State actually have convinced their Heads of State that the Majestic ALLAH truly needed all of His Eternal Wisdom and all of His Eternal Might to do an amateur identity switch which a low level CIA agent would ask another even lower level CIA agent to pull off.

But absolutely obviously, what ALLAH did need His Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might to accomplish, the Heads of States' religious advisors will not admit that event occurred. GOD did definitely needed His Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might to raise His Messiah from temporary death but not from the permanent death that it had appeared to the Jews that they had accomplished.

Due to ALLAH's Messiah being raised up by ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might, it was much more correct to realize that he had only been temporarily killed and crucified. Because the truly killed and truly crucified Messiah is definitely not fixing his fisherman followers a fried fish lakeside breakfast only a few days later, if he was actually permanently dead. Even a dead Messiah who had truly been killed is not observed by his followers as doing many different things and having a variety of conversations if he had actually been permanently killed as it had appeared to the Jews (shubbiiha lahum) that he had been. So in terms of what killed and crucified truly mean, it was right to say he had not been killed or crucified because ALLAH had used His Eternal Wisdom and Might to raise him up alive. So raising him up alive actually cancelled his being permanently killed and permanently crucified and made the apparent permanent to become truly temporary.

However, here is where the deniers of his temporary death and deniers that ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Might raised him up alive, dig a giant hole for themselves and make themselves look absolutely ridiculous.

With the myth that men invented in order to try to justify their identity switch, they end up doing two things that are even more than ridiculous than their man-made myth. First, they try to have us believe that it actually required the Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might of the Majestic ALLAH to pull off a simple low level CIA type identity switch. Of course, ALLAH would never stoop so low as to involve Himself in such an amateur scam, such as an identity transfer. Secondly, it is virtual blasphemy by these leaders to demand that Muslims believe that the revered Holy Qur'an would actually lower itself to attempt to teach all Muslims that the Majestic ALLAH of the Holy Qur'an would stoop down so low so as to involve Himself in a base activity that is far below His Majesty and Dignity, as participation in this lowly identity transfer would have required.

But in a refreshing contrast to this man made myth of the supposed bizarre identity transfer, there is a quite reasonable explanation of what truly did require ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and His Eternal Might in order to accomplish. And that is raising His lifeless Messiah from death. Yes, raising a temporarily totally killed and temporarily totally crucified person from total death to new, vibrant life truly required the Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might of ALLAH to accomplish.

Therefore, once ALLAH did raise His compassionate Messiah from total death to new life, it does become totally appropriate for An-Nisa 4:157 to forcefully state that he had neither been killed nor had he been crucified.

So that now that we have used only An-Nisa 4:157 and 158 to demonstrate that when a careful analysis has been made of only these two verses from the Qur'an, we can definitely see that these two verses do mean that ALLAH's Messiah was temporarily murdered by the Jews. Yet, we also see from these verses, which now include 3:55, that ALLAH did raise him up. So now we are prepared for ALLAH to do something even more special through the Qur'an that will truly seal Islam's wonderful victory over those Muslim advisors who shamelessly attempt to deny ALLAH's amazing victory over both rebellious Jews and even over death itself when ALLAH was required to use His Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might, not for a ridiculous low level identity switch, but to raise His own beloved Messiah up from death to new, even more empowered life.

So even though I previously referred to the truths of death and resurrection in Al-Imran 3:55, I will again refer to ALLAH's own verse in the form of an exciting illustration or analogy that the verse deserves:

When the succinctly stated truth by ALLAH Himself is wonderfully added to a correctly understood An-Nisa 4:157 and 158, with the needed task of destroying the disastrous man-made myth that was injected into 4:157, here is what it could be like.

The Courageous Bedouin Jet Pilot

Suddenly Al-Imran 3:55 appears on the distant horizon in the form of a truth loving Bedouin jet fighter pilot. He expertly sweeps down at the speed of sound on the detestable lie contained in the destructive myth that there was an amateur identity switch that it took ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might to accomplish. The evil myth demanded that Muslims falsely believe that the Messiah did not die so that there was no reason for ALLAH to use His Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might to raise His Messiah up to new life from death. So the wicked myth taught that ALLAH actually wasted His Eternal Wisdom and His Eternal Might on a cheap identity switch, which robbed ALLAH of all the Majesty of His Resurrection Power.

But the Bedouin pilot lives to fight against wickedness and is thrilled when he exalts truth over lies. So with the great speed of a sonic boom he expertly fires his truth filled rockets at the lie filled myth of not being raised alive of the Messiah by the Wise and Mighty ALLAH, so that His majestic qualities were wasted on deceptively manipulating a second rate imposter. So the wicked myth brings apparent shame to ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might by linking these majestic qualities of ALLAH to such a shameful lie. But the truth is that ALLAH had actually used His Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might to raise His compassionate Messiah from the silence of Eternal death to the vibrance of Eternal life by Amazingly and Supernaturally raising His cruelly, Israeli-murdered Messiah.

But before the sun can set we are suddenly thrilled with wonder and shivers race up and down our backbone. We watch in amazement as our truth exalting Bedouin pilot, with his fitting code name of Al-Imran 3:55, fires his first blazing truth filled rocket at the awful lie of a destructive identity switch and the false portrayal of a weak Messiah who fled from death rather than having courageously defeated death.

When we see the first truth rocket reach impact, the lying myth shatters into 10,000 tiny fragments. No additional rocket is needed. It has been reported that the shaking that occurred due to the explosion rattled the false teeth of some members who were meeting at the far away Israeli Knesset.

Significantly the reassuring words from the Holy Qur'an were written in beautiful Arabic on the side of pilot Imran 3:55's blazing truth filled rocket as it sped toward the lying myth. Yes, ALLAH Himself had entrusted to His Bedouin servant fighter pilot these significant words on his rocket to totally destroy the wicked myth which had robbed so many sincere Muslims of their accessible, victorious Messiah's blessings that accompanied his death and his being raised alive by ALLAH's great Eternal Wisdom and His equally great Eternal Might. So these few words from the Holy Qur'an shattered the myth with a mighty blast of truth, which even was felt in far off Israel, "Behold! ALLAH said, 'O Isa!, I will cause you to die (mutawafiik) and raise you to myself…"

Yes, Al-Imran 3:55 authoritatively blows right out of Muslims' minds and hearts that lie that has caused Muslim leaders to cruelly demand that Muslims reject ALLAH's Messiah's death and ALLAH's soon after victoriously raising him from death, so that he would become accessible to all Muslims who would spiritually embrace him. It is so special that it is the Qur'an itself which succinctly proclaims this temporarily lost truth that Isa was indeed caused to die. Additionally, it is a precious reality that it is the Qur'an itself which also removes all doubt about what happened with Isa by emphatically announcing that he was both caused to die, but was also victoriously raised by ALLAH. This is precisely what Al-Imran 3:55 states that occurred which deseves to become known as ALLAH and Qur'an's Rocket of Truth.

Because Al-Imran 3:55 so explicitly states that it was ALLAH who raised him up alive, that wonderfully reinforces the statement in 4:158 that ALLAH had used His Eternal Wisdom and His Eternal Might to raise His Messiah up alive. Because the Majestic ALLAH most certainly had not wasted His Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might pulling off an amateur identity switch while also running a free air shuttle service for his not killed but still living Messiah for air travel from his holding cell with Roman soldiers guarding him, up to ALLAH's presence. But the now exploded myth actually required us to believe that suddenly ALLAH somehow removed him from his Roman incarceration and somehow transported him to his own presence in Paradise.

In contrast to such an unlikely man invented scenario, here again are the true facts in Arabic fired from the jet piloted by our Bedouin pilot, appropriately named Al-Imran 3:55.

"Behold! ALLAH said, O Isa/Jesus! I will cause you to die (mutawafiik) and raise you to myself…"

So hopefully, this poorly written essay has clarified how An-Nisa 4:157 and 158, with the aid of Al-Imran 3:55 has clarified how the Messiah has died and risen without a man made myth of a ridiculous identity switch supposedly having taken place.

O Muslim Arab Heads of State, that rocket fired from the Qur'an's servant pilot named Al-Imran 3:55, at a destructive man-made myth undermining the truth of ALLAH's Messiah, is as clear a confirmation of my own somewhat complicated way that I have been pleading on my web site for Muslims to understand An-Nisa 4:157, 158.

Yes, O you Heads of State! Yes, you Muslim leaders! What Al-Imran 3:55 clearly and succinctly states is precisely what the combination of 4:157 and 158 together mean when these two wonderfully profound verses are understood correctly and not understood simplistically and superficially. Yes! This is the truth for all those who will trust ALLAH's Messiah's compassion.

The question now is: How does this fresh, more correct understanding of these three profound verses, (4:157, 158 and 3:55) connect and relate to Muslims? The two verses in combination mean when understood in a way that is worthy of the Muslim advisors who faithfully serve Heads of Arab Muslim States that ALLAH's Messiah is prepared to be with Muslims in order to spiritually be to them a faithful shepard.

So now we have the true meaning of An-Nisa 4:157 and 158 and Al-Imran 3:55 emphatically resolved. The Messiah was murdered by the Jews but he was later empowered by ALLAH to defeat both the Jews and death itself. So now His Messiah also has been empowered by ALLAH to be in the very presence of Muslim boys, girls, women and men who will trust his compassion.

Heads of Arab States are in positions to be the solution to definitely prevent the future savage unjust massacres that have been initiated by both the U.S. and Israel in the recent past? So I sincerely ask you this, respected Heads of Arab Muslim States?

Can you truly doubt that when Muslim Heads of State publicly acknowledge that a fresh in depth analysis of the true meaning of An-Nisa 4:157 and 158 when reinforced by Al- Imran 3:55 proclaiming both the Messiah's death and his being raised alive by ALLAH, will not dramatically provide the needed incentive for the U.S. power structure to see Islam and Muslims differently? As a result will there not be a much more positive conscious and subconscious attitude toward Arab Muslims by the officials and the U.S. public? So will not the U.S. be forced to be much more supportive of Muslim Arabs regarding their relationship with Israel than previously? So will not this change cause the U.S. to be much more inclined to put the stop sign out for the mighty Israeli killing and building machines? And will not the U.S. have less incentive to be so intimidated by the evil Israeli Lobby as well as by the fire breathing Republican Neo-cons who have had as their agenda the total destruction of worldwide Islam?

Oh Heads of State, do you not realize that when millions of Arab Muslims become publicly known for embracing the compassionate now Risen Messiah, the American leadership's attitude will become much more resistant to the evil Israeli Lobby? And when this new more positive relationship develops between the U.S. and Muslims perhaps the arrogant, aggressive Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will publicly wet his pants?

Yes, the overwhelming evidence is now publicly out in the open regarding the Holy Qur'an's overwhelming evidence of its counter-intuitive authoritative teaching that ALLAH's Messiah, who is honored as Messiah by the Qur'an eleven times, did actually die, yet was victoriously raised by ALLAH from death after he was empowered by ALLAH to defeat both the Israelis and to also defeat death. Furthermore, not only are those evidences verifiable from the Qur'an, but he is now spiritually accessible to all Arab Muslims and to all Muslims everywhere who choose to trust in his compassion as their now Living, accessible Messiah.

Therefore, O Muslim Heads of State; the significant questions are these about whether you are willing to modify publicly what An-Nisa 4:157, 4:158 teach and to also acknowledge what 3:55 actually proclaims. O Muslim Leaders of States and Leaders of the Muslim people! Do you love Zionist approval more, Islamic Traditionalists' approval more, or fear the Israeli Lobby's threats more?

Or, do you love ALLAH's Truth, ALLAH's Justice, and ALLAH's Muslim people more?

Finally, realize and acknowledge that these GOD despised carnage and massacres are tragedies that ALLAH Himself has empowered responsible Heads of Arab Nations to have it in their power to prevent. All that is required of Muslim Heads of Arab States will be to finally stop making an obsession and an idol of Muslim tradition. They must finally responsibly interpret the true message of An-Nisa 4:157 and 158 in a way that agrees with the clear teaching of the Holy Qur'an's Al-Imran 3:55. Don't you trust the Holy Qur'ans Truth Rocket, Al-Imran 3:55?

ALLAH awaits your individual and collective answers. But He shall continue to love each Muslim no matter how you answer. For ALLAH's essence is to love and to compassionately reach out. For ALLAH so loves the world that His character is to give even when His loved ones refuse His gifts.

Thanks for listening.
