For years, Ramadan was a month of tension that Israel treated with respect and security suspicion, while arranging to allow freedom of worship at the Al-Aqsa mosque in Israel's capital – in the shadow of terrorism directed mainly at Jerusalem. Now, after the IDF crushed Hezbollah and Hamas – who even remembers Ramadan while the "death-seeking" mujahideen are trading in Jewish corpses and hostages, profiteering from humanitarian aid to their people, begging for a ceasefire, and hiding among ruins and sewage tunnels?
On one hand, instead of distributing "halawiyat" (sweets) when Jews were murdered, Hamas members are now extracting the bodies of their terrorist family members from the rubble and from the teeth of wild dogs in the streets. On the other hand, they are trading in Jewish bodies and hostages. Perhaps reducing humanitarian aid might strengthen the fast and possibly distance them from hellfire. Qatar – which supported, incited, and financed Palestinian terrorism – must prepare to receive Hamas criminals, Islamic Jihad, and the Palestinian mob that supports them.
Most plays and films during Ramadan deal with Islamic prophecies and its future world domination within the framework of "end times" promises, the greatness of Islam and its conquests – especially from the days of Muhammad and his supporters and, of course, Salah al-Din and his victories against the Crusaders – in short: Sinwar's dreams.
The name 'Ramadan' likely originates from the Arabic root letters r-m-d (related to heat and burning), which corresponds to the Hebrew word "rametz" meaning "scorching heat." This connection makes sense as the month was originally celebrated by nomadic Arab tribes during the Jahiliyyah period, always during the peak of summer. Since Islam abolished the leap year, Islamic dates change and occur sometimes in summer and sometimes in winter.
In complete contrast to the Islamic invaders, Jews lived in the Land of Israel as a permanent agricultural society – not nomadic. Jews have celebrated their holidays there for thousands of years revolving around agricultural seasons precisely according to the Hebrew leap-year calendar. As permanent residents and owners of the land, Jews tied their lives, holidays, and worship to the soil of the Land of Israel, the pilgrimage, and sacrificial offerings in the Temple in Jerusalem as commanded in the Torah.
The idealization of Islamic conquests in "Ramadan stories" is an important motif especially among Palestinians, who are obsessively engaged with how nomads and invaders emerged from the Arabian Peninsula in their raids ("ghazawat") on behalf of "Allah" to our land, on their way to implementing Islamic rule over the world in the "end of days," moving in pursuit of grazing grass, plunder, blood, looting, rape, and murder. This is the fuel that drives Islamic movements from the breeding ground of the Muslim Brotherhood even today.
Seemingly, Muslims attribute to this fasting period a closeness to God and improvement of character in order to gain God's forgiveness and redemption from hellfire. In practice, Ramadan stories generate in the Islamist mob (fasting, religious lessons, incitement, sermons, and "night stories") inflammatory and murderous radicalization starring bearded sheikhs from terrorist organizations who turn every madman, dressed in a thawb and wearing slippers, armed with a knife – into Salah al-Din.
As mentioned, during the Jahiliyyah period, Ramadan was considered a month in which a ceasefire was declared. It was an agreement between the tribes in the Arabian Peninsula. Tradition attributes to Muhammad a saying (hadith) about Ramadan that creates a spiritual acronym from its name: the R representing "Rahma" (mercy), the M representing "Maghfira" (forgiveness), and the D/N representing 'Najat min al-Nar' (salvation from hellfire).
From Ramadan to war, terrorism, murder, and bloodshed
But even Islamic countries (Egypt attacked us during Ramadan 1973, which fell on Yom Kippur) and especially Islamist terrorist organizations have deliberately turned the "rametz" of Ramadan into an inferno of war, terrorism, murder, and bloodshed. Palestinian terrorist organizations have gone further: not only do they choose to wage wars and carry out terrorist attacks specifically during Ramadan, which is sacred to them, but they will always prefer to carry out acts of murder and attacks specifically during Jewish holidays. The recent massacre in the Gaza border communities was also carried out on Simchat Torah and on Sabbath.
The murderous traits embedded in Palestinian "believers" are far worse than those of their ancestors from the Jahiliyyah period. Sinwar's murderous dreams, which included kidnapping civilians, soldiers, and children, raping women (as per Islamic tradition), and trading in bodies (necrophilia), have turned from a dream into an ongoing Palestinian-Hamas nightmare. Instead of the "Mahdi" of the "end times," they are faced with ginger-haired Trump who demands they emigrate from Gaza (a recommended destination is Qatar – the bank of terrorism and Islamic incitement, a land without people – which will be forced to absorb "people" without land).
For Ramadan, Trump demanded the release of the hostages (dead and alive) and announced that he is equipping Israel with powerful deep-penetration bombs. The significance of these bombs is that they can penetrate deep tunnels, Iranian bunkers, and even collapse both the Aswan Dam and the "Nahda" Dam together (if needed). These "end time" scenarios can unite the holiday of Purim (destruction of Haman/Khamenei) with Passover (drowning of Pharaoh's army and forces).
No "mercy" or "forgiveness" will any human being find in the barbarians of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and their supporters – only fire and columns of smoke. All those rapists, child murderers, and beheaders "in the name of the merciful and compassionate Allah" who invaded the Gaza border communities on Sabbath – Simchat Torah in October 2023 – will spend Ramadan this year – as a month of murderousness – in collapsing plastic greenhouses.
