19. As a Muslim, do I need to fear Israel?

Not at all. In the case of Israel-Palestine conflict, a two-nation settlement was reached in 1948 under the 1947 General Assembly Resolution. Right after this, the Palestinian side launched a massive military attack on Israel. Israel has continued to retaliate to the actions undertaken by Palestine against them. It is unwise to think that one can use violent force against someone and the other party will not retaliate with its full might. The devastation Palestine faces today is actually the repercussion of its past actions.

This is not a religious matter, but a political one. If you have doubts whether Islam commands the killing of Jews and holds that Jews are aggressors, let me clarify that Islam makes no such sanctions.

Islam is a religion of peace in the fullest sense of the word. The Quran calls its way:

‘the paths of peace’. (Quran 5:16)

The Quran believes that:

Reconciliation is best. (Quran 4:128)

God abhors any disturbance of peace. (Quran 2:205)
