Answer by Rabbi Ben Abrahamson: Wa aleikum salaam wa rahmatullah Do you know the source of this picture? The BBC has announced that many of the pictures being circulated on the internet come from Syria or Iraq. Remember the effort of proof is on you, if you pass this picture on to someone. You will be punished if your facts are not correct. You who believe! If a deviator [the media: newspapers, television, the internet] brings you a report, scrutinize it carefully in case you attack people in ignorance and so come to greatly regret what you have done. (Surat al-Hujurat 49, 6) As far as I know, the Palestinian authority has only reported 35 casualties, and they have fighters from the Islamic Jihad or Hamas. Most of the damages are to buildings and structures, so people have been forced to circulate pictures from other battles. Why is there any killing of innocents? In Gaza, Syria or Iraq? It is only because of madness & insanity and because people who do not listen to what Allah SWT has commanded them: O You who believe! Show integrity for the sake of Allah SWT, bearing witness with justice. Do not let hatred for a people incite you into not being just. Be just. That is closer to faith. Heed Allah SWT (alone). Allah SWT is aware of what you do. (Surat Al-Maeda 5,8) I have been to the bomb shelter several times in the last two days as missles from Gaza have reached my office (Bnei Brak, Tel Aviv). I see the bombs fly overhead, and the explosions are near. This is all madness.
