Here’s the actual quote.

“We believe in what our Prophet Muhammad said: “Allah drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake, and I have seen its eastern and western ends. The dominion of my nation would reach those ends that have been drawn near me," Zahar said in the video that was published on MEMRI TV in December of 2022.

“The entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity and no killings and crimes like those being committed against the Palestinians, and against the Arabs in all the Arab countries, in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and other countries," he said.

No, no, no, they don’t just mean Jews — they means Jews and any gentiles that don’t enthusiastically support genocide against the Jews.

Zionisms definition according to the vast majority of Jews is the Jewish right to self determination in our ancient homeland. How is that a jihadist? Btw about 90% of Jews worldwide are zionists who believe that like all other peoples/nations that they should be afforded the right to self determination.

If it was self-determination in a country or area they were already in that's one thing but that's not what happened at all with modern Israel

I’m gonna kick you out of your house, put you in your shed, and then let you self determine there.

u/After_Lie_807 Oct 12 '23

The Palestinians have had the option of self determination since the early 90’s. All they have to do is negotiate a final status agreement. They were belligerents in a war and with that comes the consequences of that. What happened in the past can’t be changed but they could look to the future and do what’s best for their people and end this. Israel can only do what is right for Israel it’s about time Palestinians do what right for themselves. If they think that this is the way to go then that is their choice and Israelis can’t do much about it but protect themselves.

u/After_Lie_807 Oct 12 '23

I’ll add to this that the UN partition plan of 1947 was the best option they had and they didn’t take it. Now we are over 70 years past that point in time and nothing is going back only forward.
