There is no way for Palestine and Israel to become friends and brothers other than the Moshiach, the Mahdi. The time for the Mahdi (pbuh), for Moshiach has come.

What they call "the rightful struggle of Palestine" is Palestine and Israel making peace and living in brotherhood; it is not wiping Israel from the region and wiping it off from the map.

Mourning is the name we give to a respectful attitude towards those we’ve lost. Mourning doesn’t mean being frantic with sorrow.

Mourning is only acceptable in the sense of respect, in the sense of showing courtesy, concentrating on the topic, being interested and concerned with it. It is not in the sense of being frantic with sorrow, crying, wallowing, freaking out, and feeling pain. Those would all be ascribing partners to God.

If one feels frantic with sorrow for a person who's gone to the Sight of God, who's gone to His Heaven; if one cries his eyes out grieving that means he doesn't appreciate what God created; that means he is rebellious against God, may God forbid. But if he thanks God for what He created, if he praises Him, if he welcomes this ultimate union, his meeting His Lord with joy, if he welcomes passing to Heaven; that is a characteristic of a Muslim. The other is the characteristic of idolaters.

Mourning after a deceased person was a custom of the idolaters of Mecca. It is a pagan tradition reminiscent from the Sumerians, from the ancient Greek.

Netanyahu should say, "O Lord, send us the Moschiach" in Hebrew. He should say that under his prayer shawl and say these. Israel would only then be saved. There is no other salvation.

Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, Israel will all unite as brothers in our time. A great Islamic Union, a great Islamic Unity will be formed. The characteristic of this union will be that it will be based on an intense love, friendship and good intentions.

People die every day. We are living in the world, this is a place of testing. People get sick every day. How do they come up with the idea of mourning? There is no such thing in the Qur'an. There is no such understanding in Islam. It only has a place in idolatry, in the totemist mentality, in the belief system of the idolaters. This is a characteristic of pagan religions, but there is no such thing in Islam.

The mentality that urges one to cry after everything is abnormal. This is a remnant system from the idolaters of Mecca, from the idolaters of Sumeria, from way back. That is outright insincerity. This is an act which shows that one does not have trust in God- may God forbid. One would only cry if he thinks –may God forbid- that God is not the One Who creates that event.

There is no spirit of mourning in Islam. That is idolatry. It is rebellion against God, it is unlawful, it is a sin. Consequently, talking about something that actually means idolatry as if it is a religious act would be wrong.

The mentality of mourning is fundamentally wrong. A Muslim would never do that. God is the One Who brings us to this world, and God is the One Who takes us back to His Sight. The right thing to do is to submit to our destiny and to put our trust in the goodness, beauty and abundance of what God gives. Anything other than that would not befit a Muslim.

If you teach hatred for Israel to your people, the whole Islamic world would also learn hatred for each other. If you do not love the children of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), how will you love Muslims? You should love the children of the Prophet Moses (pbuh); you should love the Armenians, Greeks, Catholics, Protestants, so that you could also love Muslims. They all are the servants of Almighty God.

The lack of love, the reaction against Israel is about eighty percent. That is a horrible rate. This should be made right immediately. Moderate, beautiful, loving statements coming from our politicians would be very beneficial in this respect. We need to be a nation that loves other countries. Anything other than that would not befit us.

Israel’s bond of friendship with Turkey is very important. Turkey is a country of key importance. Let our Jewish brothers come to Turkey and establish an environment of friendship. Friendships that appear to be symbolic have a great impact and ensure great results.

It would be an atrocious act to try and set Israel against Turkey. The people of Israel are a community that we have been protecting and watching over compassionately all along. Turkish people are not hostile to Jews; they love Jews.

Saying; "Save [only] Egypt!" isn't acceptable. Saying "Save [only] Palestine!" is not acceptable. You've got to say; "Let Muslims unite!" You've got to ask for the salvation of the whole Islamic world and ask for the salvation of whole humanity. That will be a salvation for whole humanity under the leadership of Muslims. Let Russia be saved, let China be saved as well; let all of them be saved. We cannot develop an egoistic point of view.

Our attitude is aimed at putting an end to the sufferings in the whole Islamic World not only to the sufferings in Egypt, in Syria or in Palestine.

Showing compassion to both Israel and Palestine, to the good people of Palestine and the good people of Israel, to the compassionate people of those lands; showing affection to them, behaving warmly to them is a necessity of the morality of Islam. Pushing one aside and putting forth the other would be unbecoming for a Muslim.

Palestine and Egypt should pray saying “My Lord, bestow the Unity of Islam upon us.” If they ask solely for the deliverance of Palestine or for the deliverance of Egypt, that would not be acceptable. They should want the salvation of the whole Islamic world or else the scourges upon them would not come to an end.

There are a handful of Palestinians, a handful of Israelis. We’ve told them to tear down the walls. Insha’Allah we will make them tear down the walls. Allahis the one Who protects, not the walls. The walls can be demolished with a bomb. How could walls protect? Allah is the One Who protecs. They should sseek refuge in Allah’s compassion, love and mercy.

Both the deliverance of Palestine and the deliverance of Israel are bound to Unity of Islam, to the system of the Mahdi, insha'Allah.

People are suffering for no reason. If they accept the notion of Islamic Union, if they accept the system of the Mahdi, the world would turn into a veritable heaven. God gives them instead fearsome anguish for resisting.

All that God wills would be realized. The consequences of resisting God's Will would be catastrophic.

Our rationale shows us that Muslims need an imam, a leader heading them; Without the head, the body fails. And that head is Imam Muhammad Mahdi (pbuh). This ummah would not accept anyone other than the Mahdi (pbuh).
