Hajj, Ka’ba, Tawhid And A Peaceful Future For All – OpEd

Very few Jews realize that for more than 1.000 years, while the Ka’ba in Makka built by Prophets Abraham and Ishmael was polluted by idols, Jerusalem’s First and Second Temple – Bait ul Muqaddas—Beit HaMiqdash stood, and the Jewish festival of Hag Sukkot was celebrated as a Hajj, a pilgrimage festival.

In Biblical times the Hebrew letter g was sometimes pronounced g as in gym, and Hag was pronounced Hajj. The Hebrew word Hag comes from hagag to circle and the Arabic word Hajj literally means ‘to set out for a place’.

Hizbullah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said in a speech during a September 22, 2024 funeral held for Hizbullah operations chief Ibrahim Aqil, a veteran Hizbullah operative who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut alongside several top commanders from Hizbullah’s elite Radwan Unit, that the United States is fully complicit in Israel’s aggression, crimes, and genocide and will not be able to convince anybody otherwise. He said that America is destined for destruction just like Israel and led the crowd in chants of “Death to America!” Qassem also said that the Zionists have “globalized the resistance in Palestine,” and “caused the elixir of resistance to develop in fetuses.” Qasem promised that the Lebanese front in support of Palestine will continue until the war in Gaza ends. In addition, he promised that the residents of northern Israel will not be able to return to their homes, that more Israelis will be displaced, and that the new phase of the conflict is called “the Battle of the Unsettled Score.” Moreover, he promised that Hizbullah will act “out-of-the-box” and will fight and kill the Israelis in places they do not expect.

Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech that was posted to the Spot Shot YouTube channel on February 13, 2024 that Israel does not need human collaborators because people carry cell phones with them wherever they go. He said that Israel taps people’s cell phones and monitors their location, conversations, data, images, and families, whether they are at home, at work, or in the car. He said that Israel even knows in which seat in the car a person is riding in, and he called on the “brothers” throughout southern Lebanon to refrain from using cell phones, which he referred to as “lethal collaborators,” and to disable or bury them for weeks, months, or however long is necessary in order to protect their security, lives, and honor. He added that people cannot live without their cell phones, but that Islamic law prohibits this during a time of war because it endangers people’s lives.

The biggest unanswered questions about the Hezbollah pager attack

Over the past two days, the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah has been targeted with an attack as sophisticated and audacious as it is brutal, with the devices in their own pockets turned into deadly weapons.

On Tuesday, hundreds of pagers distributed by Hezbollah to its members and associates in Lebanon and Syria exploded, killing at least 12 people, including two children, and injuring nearly 3,000. Then, in a follow-up attack on Wednesday, thousands of two-way radios used by the group exploded, killing nine people and wounding some 300, some of whom had been attending the funerals of those killed in the earlier attack. There have also been reports of solar energy systems exploding in several areas of Lebanon, but few details have been reported about these incidents.
