The Intellectual And Ideological Dimension Of The Palestinian-Zionist Conflict

Abstract

Many scholars and analysts of the Palestinian issue try to distance the Palestinian-Zionist conflict from its true religious background. They justify this by claiming that the Palestinian cause is merely a struggle for political influence in the region and the disputed territories, ignoring the profound historical truth that Palestine is an Islamic land. Unfortunately, they base their arguments on a distorted and fabricated present that favours the Zionist side, which is trying to win the sympathy of the world through various bodies and organisations. The Zionist entity does not hesitate to declare the conflict a religious war at every opportunity.

In this research, I will focus on an important point that is beginning to become clear and visible due to the significant awareness among a large section of the free people of the world: the nature of the conflict between Muslims and Jews in Palestine. I will explore its intellectual, ideological and doctrinal dimensions, starting with the fundamental question of the origin of the conflict and its main cause: who rightfully belongs to the Holy Land? Is it the Muslims, both historically and legally, or do the Zionists have a claim, as stated in their alleged religious texts, who consider Palestine to be the Promised Land?
