We have heat Bolson, who is the controversial speaker, he has
clips that are watched all over the world. There is no way around
this fact without normalization, you're basically guaranteeing that
Israel will only ever be accountable to you that United
States and the Arabs and Muslims will never have any leverage. Part
of why you're against this is your hatred for Israel justified, he
says. And the other part is hatred of our own regimes, which I've
argued time and time again, is only in the interests of the West.
He says perhaps you can start understanding how and why this is
your stance is nothing but guaranteeing Western hegemony and
Muslim helplessness. But you call that more the morally correct
position. So here we have someone saying that strategically, Arabs
would have some leverage over Israel if they normalized. First
of all, I will highlight shad Molson has a one hour and a half
critique of my opinion on normalization of ties. For anybody
who wants to listen, you can find it as well. I think that Allah
subhanaw taala says in the Quran, yeah, you already know him and it
Allah wa T or Rasulullah muddiman Come, but he finishes that
parchment went Fenton as atom fishy and sort of do in Allahu
Rasul in quantum took me known a bit here on Earth and then you can
say no accent. Oh, you who believe obey Allah and the Prophet and
those who ruled from amongst you, those have authority amongst you.
But in the event that you disagree with one another who's disagreeing
here, it's the ruler and the people being ruled and Lavina
Ehrman will not Helen Henley will not the elite of the society.
Allah is saying it that Nina Ave and the ruler which means there
are instances where the ruler will do something that we cannot fathom
and we cannot appreciate. Allah doesn't say in this case. See to
all Omri men concede to those who have authority over you. Allah
says we will do who will Allah Rasool go back to the Quran and
the Sunnah. In other words, they decided not in favor of the
authority but in favor of what is correct in the Quran and the
Sunnah. And that's what Abu Bakr Siddiq meant when he said Kawi
Mooney are correct me you pressured me to take the correct
course Allah subhanaw taala himself has said that the basis of
the argument that we follow the rules on the basis that they know
better is a false premise that the Quran itself blows out obliterates
that argument in and of itself. Allah has also ordained on every
person that they're able to identify happened button, and
Allah has put the onus on everybody to try to fix it. And
also Lulu salaallah alayhi wa sallam said marami amico monka and
Phil yoga you will be there he said Mara men come Who amongst you
sees among car not Betty, c'mon Karan, he uses among you from the
elite something that is water, letting change it with his hand,
let him go out and exert effort to change the wrong with his hand and
if he cannot, because the one and authority have too much power,
then with his tongue, let him denounce it let him condemn it,
let him get pressure let him try and you know, sit with the doctor
share the Masuri and talk about it so people are aware of the Mooka
and the like so they can make a difference and change public
opinion. And if they cannot let them condemn it in his heart, and
that's the weakest of faith. So Allah has made on the Prophet SAW
Selim has made the resistance to all forms of oppression regardless
of who does it has made it incumbent on the movement and to
go into the third stage of authority we've done Quran we've
done sunnah April while doing said a Landrieu and Sampson want
justice as the foundation of dominion. We'll learn more mostly
on bichara long run oppression destroy the civilization and evil
Jamie has stressed the point of justice so much that he said that
Allah will allow a state that doesn't believe in him to survive
as long as it's just but will not tolerate an Islamic state that is
oppressive for Allah allows justice to exist to shirk, but
does not tolerate Islam to exist with oppression Allah believes to
be too heinous a crime. When people talk about the idea of
power as a share had Bolson alludes to in his video. And in
this tweet, that normalization can bring benefits so the light
anybody who opens suited hood, for example, in the Quran, will see
that Allah doesn't describe the people of items and mood as people
who are weak as people who are economically in poverty or the
like. I do want to eat another artilleryman and Latina. Mukul
admits to having beloved, they were people who built
extraordinary things economically, and they were people of great
strength, but Allah destroyed them, he destroyed them, because
Allah is not looking for the economic prosperity, and as much
as he's looking for the justice, and we're the people who will
stand with the justice, despite the odds that are against them.
And that's why I think I'd like go back to your question in terms of,
you know, don't go against authority and normalization might
benefit to the like, the reality is that normalization, in the
words of the Israeli ambassador himself to the United Nations, in
the same meeting, when Netanyahu held up that map of the region
where he's erased Palestine completely from the map. And then
he celebrates normalization with Saudi Arabia and says it will be
the greatest deal since the end of the Cold War. The Israeli
ambassador told Ken television that Israeli
Television, they asked him, they said, Well, your right wing
government accept normalization of ties with Saudi Arabia. He said
normalization with Saudi Arabia means the complete Arab
abandonment of the Palestinians. And when the government realizes
this, they will accept it, I understand the need to try to be
politically nuanced in terms of what we have people try to do, by
example of how they be. They tried to talk about the example agenda.
And when he tried to come back to Medina and the process and and
told them, I've signed a treaty, you have to go back, I get it, but
I don't think it applies here. I do think that the reason why and
the final point and apologies for going on a bit on this, but the
final point that's worth mentioning his head, if the
situation was like who they be, or where the Muslims lack the power
to impose themselves and therefore sign the treaty, or they be,
perhaps there might be room to discuss this possibility. But the
reality is that Saudi had when when the Canadian ambassador
criticized Saudi human rights, Bin Salman kicked out the Canadian
ambassador and added job he said, we're not we're not a banana
republic. When Biden called bin Salman a pariah bin Salman started
reneging, increasing the oil price, and he forced Biden to go
to him in Jeddah and plead for a reset in relations. When Biden
started antagonizing bin Salman bin Salman invited the Chinese Ji
Jinping and gave them contracts to say to the Americans, you want to
treat me like that. Let me show you what happens to anyone who
disrespects me. So when you insult bin Salman, he deploys his
leverage against the Americans and he makes them rushed him to tell
him please, please, we'll make concessions. But when it comes to
Philistine he's not willing to exert the same leverage. When
Erdogan wants to spy the Americans. He invites the Russians
and he makes the American scramble instead they send the head of CIA
send a Secretary of State send the vice president sent John Bolton to
Ankara to plead with him not to deploy his power and leverage in
favor of his interests. And they make concessions and Edwin gets
those concessions, and again uses that leverage for his own
interests, but he's not willing to deploy it for Palestine. In other
words, the final sentence is this. The Muslim countries have the
power to force the Americans to rein in the Israelis, but they
choose not to. So when you argue that normalization with Israel
might bring benefits, yes, CD use the power you have now. And when
that fails data, let's talk about the idea of normalization. But you
haven't even tried it, and that's why I reject the suggestion. Don't
let them autopsied
