HELP MUHAMMAD AL-HUBAIL RECOVER FROM HIS INJURIES

Muhammad Al-Hubail @mohammedalhabil2000 is a young man from Gaza who has lost both his brother and his father to Israeli attacks. He has been wounded four times, including a severe injury to the lower leg that has left him disabled and in need of long term treatment and regular physical therapy.

Until recently, Muhammad was recieving treatment at Al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah. That is no longer possible.

Muhammad now hopes to escape Gaza and seek treatment. As most of you are well aware, this is an expensive thing to do, and a lot of people will need to donate. We can do it if we try, though.

Just over a year ago, the entire world woke up to news of a massacre.

We all know the horrid tale. Waves of gunmen—some on paragliders, others on motorcycles—attacked families at kibbutzim and young people attending a music festival. The marauders filmed their murders on GoPro cameras. They burned families alive in their safe rooms, raped and mutilated their victims, and took hostages back to Gaza on golf carts. 

Why did they do it? 

This is how Al Jazeera journalist Marc Lamont Hill ascribed the motivation: “Before October 7, the people of Gaza didn’t have one minute of self-determination.” Never mind that Israel pulled out of the territory in 2005. Hill calls this fact “a right-wing lie that we’ve got to dissect with the truth, which is that for a hundred years there’s been a settler colonial project.”

For progressives, October 7 was a jailbreak from an open-air prison. 

But for the belligerents, it was Operation Al-Aqsa Flood: an act of jihad, or holy war. 

That’s what Hamas said shortly afterward, anyway. On October 10, they released a communiqué, which explained that the purpose of this massacre was “to bolster the steadfastness of the Palestinian people in the face of the open aggression of the occupation, thwart its schemes and dreams of Judaizing Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, and achieve victory for the just cause of our Palestinian people and our struggle for the liberation of our land, prisoners, and sanctities.” 

It’s worth lingering on that phrase, “Judaizing Jerusalem and al-Aqsa.”

Because it reveals something very important about the Israel-Palestine conflict: that much of this is not about a country; it is about an ancient city. The world knows it as Jerusalem. The Palestinians call it Al-Quds. In the middle of this city is a large hill known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif, or noble sanctuary. Here, there are two great mosques: Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa. This, Muslims believe, is where the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven in a dream.

And if you listen to Hamas, they’ll tell you that there is a plot by the Jews to destroy Al-Aqsa and build a third Jewish Temple where it now stands. 

That is a lie.

It’s been 57 years since Israel won the territory in the Six-Day War—plenty of time to Judaize Temple Mount. And though there are a few on the fringe of Israeli politics who speak fanatically about the desire to build a third temple, every government since Jerusalem was reunified has entrusted the mosques on top of the mountain to the guardianship of a Jordanian religious agency known as the Waqf.

Muslims, not Jews, remain the custodians of Al-Aqsa. 

But it’s worth understanding where this lie came from.

Palestinian nationalism has taken many forms over the past century, from Maoism to Islamism, but this one theme persists: Jews have no place in their ancestral homeland, and they threaten the third holiest site in Islam. You hear it over and over again in the history of Palestinian revolts. And it stems directly from one man.

Born in 1895 to one of Jerusalem’s great families, he could trace his lineage back to the prophet Muhammad himself. He was a seminary school dropout, an antisemite, and a Nazi collaborator—and the first leader of Palestine. His name was Haj Amin al-Husseini. And while Palestinians today are embarrassed by his legacy, it’s a legacy that explains many of the pathologies that still afflict their leaders—from the celebration of spectacular violence to the rejection of compromise.

The story begins in 1920, just three years after the British adopted the Balfour Declaration, by which the empire promised to facilitate the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.

The British became the protectorate of Palestine in 1920, but they did not conquer or covet the land; it had been entrusted to the empire through the League of Nations. Before the British Mandate, Palestine had belonged to the Ottoman Empire, which collapsed after World War I. There had never been a Palestinian state as such.

But there had been Arab nationalism—both as a backlash against the Ottoman empire, and as a movement based on shared language, culture, and geography, according to Hussein Ibish, a senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington.

And the first birth pangs of a Palestinian national movement began as a rejection of the Balfour Declaration—and specifically, the Zionist Jews returning to Palestine to create a Jewish state. It’s at this volatile moment that a young Haj Amin al-Husseini came onto the scene.

On April 4, 1920—which, in the Christian calendar, was Easter Sunday—Jerusalem’s Muslims were celebrating the festival of Nabi Musa, which involves marching to the tomb of Moses near Jericho.

A crowd chanted: “Palestine is our land and the Jews are our dogs.” 

Al-Husseini, who was only 23 years old at the time, stood on a balcony in the Old City, held up a photograph of King Faisal of Syria, and shouted: “This is your king.”

King Faisal was one of the first independent Arab leaders to emerge after World War I, and at the time, many Palestinians considered the territory to be southern Syria.

The crowd then descended on the Jewish quarter of the old city, bearing knives and clubs. In the ensuing pogrom, five Jews and four Arabs were killed. All told, 211 Jews and 33 Arabs were wounded in the riots.

Israeli Terrorist STORMS the HOLY SITE in Jerusalem

Israel's national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem on the day a number of European countries recognised a Palestinian state, amid the ongoing war on Gaza. Images showed Itamar Ben Gvir entering the Islamic religious site flanked by heavily armed Israeli forces. In a video taken from the courtyards of the mosque, the far-right minister said the Jerusalem site "belongs only to the state of Israel".

His visit came as Spain, Ireland and Norway announced their recognition of the state of Palestine, which in turn prompted Israel to recall its ambassadors. Palestinians have long sought East Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa is located, as the capital of any future state.

"I made it clear: the countries that recognised a Palestinian state this morning want to give a reward to the kidnappers of the female soldiers and their many supporters in Gaza," Ben Gvir said in the video published on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"We will not allow any surrender that would even include a declaration of a Palestinian state." Al-Aqsa Mosque, which spans 14 hectares and includes the Dome of the Rock and the silver-domed al-Qibli Mosque, is an Islamic site where unsolicited visits, prayers and rituals by non-Muslims are forbidden, according to decades-long international agreements.

The hill on which the mosque sits is known to Jews as the Temple Mount and is believed to be the site where two ancient Jewish temples once stood. In the last two decades, there has been an increase in the number of Israeli ultranationalists visiting and praying in Al-Aqsa under police protection without permission from Palestinians. Daniel Seidemann, founder of the NGO Terrestrial Jerusalem, said Ben Gvir's move on Wednesday was "significant and potentially incendiary".

"Israel/Palestine is a fire raging out of control and the Netanyahu regime is dousing the flames with kerosene," he wrote on X. "This couldn't happen without Netanyahu's consent." It was the first time Ben Gvir, who regularly storms Al-Aqsa, entered the site since 7 October.

Jerusalem❤️ : A sea of worshipers spend Laylat al-Qadr at Al Aqsa mosque and chant for Gaza and Al Aqsa mosque!!!

[soon-palestine]

This historic tree, which Mujir al-Din al-Alimi mentioned in his book (al-Uns al-jalīl bi-tārīkh al-Quds wa-al-Khalīl ) 500 years ago, fell down today in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque during Tarawih prayers, causing a boy to be moderately injured. That tree was burned by Israeli terrorists two years ago, and the treatment process was not successful.

I smushed two of my previous designs for my fundraiser together into a new design (original two below):

Once again mostly a good sticker design, though available on other products. All products with this design can be found here.

As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my designs are for my Palestinian best friend to help him support his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.

Here are some examples of products with this design (sticker, sweatshirt, pin):
