Gaza and the Power of Narratives with Ahmed Paul Keeler

Join our Patreon to get access to exclusive monthly Zoom calls: / thethinkingmuslim
The current slaughter meted out on innocents in Gaza, fully supported Western Governments, is founded upon a bed of lies. It is said that the truth is the first casualty of war, yet in this war the truth is not hidden -the decapitated bodies, crushed skulls, emaciated children, the callous shelling of hungry souls as they clamour for flour - all of this is known to the world and there remains little doubt that what we are witnessing is truly horrific. Yet the Israeli counter-narrative looks to subvert this truth; these images they claim, however regrettable, are the result of such a heinous crime that they are necessary for rooting out the evil. The Gazan women and children are no more than collateral damage. I have argued that what the hypocritical West fails to see is that for every soul whose death they manufacture, the very edifice upon which they claim a moral high ground is crumbling.
My guest today, Ahmed Paul Keeler argues in a provocative and beautifully written piece that narratives matter. This is why millions are spent on spinning a story about the state of Israel and the traducing the claims of Palestinians. Today we take a forensic look at these narratives.

    The irony is that Israel fighting for Gaza’s natural gas reserves. Think Nazi gas chambers. It’s almost funny had it not been so tragic. Greed for the natural resources of Gazans is what these people are dying for. It explains the intell Hamas got and from whom. That is what’s going on. Wake up. Google Gaza’s natural gas reserves. Gaza has billions of tons of natural gas. The intent is to settle Gaza to ship natural gas via the Mediterranean Sea. A journalist on KZread broke this way before I realized it. I found his video while looking for support for my reasoning.

    "If solid, uninterrupted ARAB OCCUPATION for nearly 1,300 years does not make a country "Arab", what does?" Here King Abdullah of Jordan in November 1947 admits that Arabs conquered, OCCUPIED and settled Palestine in the seventh century. And the obvious conclusion is that in order to occupy a land, peoples other than Arabs must have been living there before! The idea that the Palestinian Arabs have always been indigenous to the land of Israel is a fallacy. They are NOT! Muslim Arab armies from over 700 miles away in the Arabian Peninsula spread Islam at the point of sword. If they wish to establish a Palestinian state they should PRACTICE THEIR RIGHT OF RETURN to their indigenous lands that lie outside the land of Israel.

    Israel's existence is first mentioned over 3,000 years ago in the Merneptah Stelle, and was located in Canaan, in what today is erroneously called the West Bank. Claiming the Jewish people are OCCUPYING their INDIGENOUS lands is ludicrous! This memorial etched in stone by the Egyptian Pharoah Merneptah is housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. "The princes are prostrate, saying, "Peace!" Not one is raising his head among the Nine Bows. Now that Tehenu (Libya) has come to ruin, Hatti is pacified; The Canaan has been plundered into every sort of woe: Ashkelon has been overcome; Gezer has been captured; Yano'am is made non-existent. Israel is laid waste and his seed is not; Hurru is become a widow because of Egypt. The Mesha Stele from the 8th century B.C. mentions the Kingdom of ISRAEL numerous times. "I am Mesha, son of Chemosh-gad,[25] king of Moab, the Dibonite. My father reigned over Moab thirty years, and I have reigned after my father. And I have built this sanctuary for Chemosh in Karchah, a sanctuary of salvation, for he saved me from all aggressors, and made me look upon all mine enemies with contempt. Omri was king of ISRAEL , and oppressed Moab during many days, and Chemosh was angry with his aggressions. His son succeeded him, and he also said, I will oppress Moab. In my days he said, Let us go, and I will see my desire upon him and his house, and ISRAEL said, I shall destroy it for ever. Now Omri took the land of Madeba, and occupied it in his day, and in the days of his son, forty years. And Chemosh had mercy on it in my time. And I built Baal-meon and made therein the ditch, and I built Kiriathaim. And the men of Gad dwelled in the country of Ataroth from ancient times, and the king of ISRAEL fortified Ataroth. I assaulted the wall and captured it, and killed all the warriors of the city for the well-pleasing of Chemosh and Moab, and I removed from it all the spoil, and offered it before Chemosh in Kirjath; and I placed therein the men of Siran, and the men of Mochrath. And Chemosh said to me, Go take Nebo against ISRAEL, and I went in the night and I fought against it from the break of day till noon, and I took it: and I killed in all seven thousand men, but I did not kill the women and maidens, for I devoted them to Ashtar-Chemosh; and I took from it the vessels of Jehovah, and offered them before Chemosh. And the king of ISRAEL fortified Jahaz, and occupied it, when he made war against me, and Chemosh drove him out before me, and I took from Moab two hundred men in all, and placed them in Jahaz, and took it to annex it to Dibon. I built Karchah the wall of the forest, and the wall of the Hill. I have built its gates and I have built its towers. I have built the palace of the king, and I made the prisons for the criminals within the wall. And there were no wells in the interior of the wall in Karchah. And I said to all the people, ‘Make you every man a well in his house.’ And I dug the ditch for Karchah with the chosen men of ISRAEL. I built Aroer, and I made the road across the Arnon. I took Beth-Bamoth for it was destroyed. I built Bezer for it was cut down by the armed men of Daybon, for all Daybon was now loyal; and I reigned from Bikran, which I added to my land. And I built Beth-Gamul, and Beth-Diblathaim, and Beth Baal-Meon, and I placed there the poor people of the land. And as to Horonaim, the men of Edom dwelt therein, on the descent from old. And Chemosh said to me, Go down, make war against Horonaim, and take it. And I assaulted it, And I took it, for Chemosh restored it in my days. Wherefore I made.... ...year...and I...." "The Mesha Stele, also called the Moabite Stone, is a basalt stone slab that has provided historians and linguists with the largest source of the Moabite language to date. Researchers have only now been able to verify with a considerable degree of certainty that the stele contains explicit references to King David." The Tel Dan Stele from the ninth century mentions three kings of ISRAEL plus the house of DAVID. " . [ ]...[...] and cut [...] 2. [...] my father went up [against him when h]e fought at [...] 3. and my father lay down, he went to his [ancestors (viz. became sick and died)]. And the king of ISRAEL entered previously in my father's land, [and] Hadad made me king, 5. And Hadad went in front of me, [and] I departed from the seven [...-] 6. s of my kingdom, and I slew [seve]nty kin[gs], who harnessed th[ousands of cha-] 7. riots and thousands of horsemen (or: horses). [I killed Jeho]ram son [of Ahab] 8. king of ISRAEL, and [I] killed [Ahaz]iahu son of [Jehoram kin-] 9. g of the House of DAVID, and I set [their towns into ruins and turned ] 10. their land into [desolation ] 11. other [... and Jehu ru-] 12. led over ISRAEL and I laid] 13. siege upon [ ]" "The Taylor Prism is one of the earliest cuneiform artifacts analysed in modern Assyriology, having been found a few years before the modern deciphering of cuneiform. The annals themselves are notable for describing Sennacherib's siege of Jerusalem during the reign of king Hezekiah. This event is recorded in several books contained in the Bible including Isaiah chapters 36 and 37; 2 Kings 18:17; 2 Chronicles 32:9. "The Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III is a black limestone Assyrian sculpture with many scenes in bas-relief and inscriptions. It comes from Nimrud (ancient Kalhu), in northern Iraq, and commemorates the deeds of King Shalmaneser III (reigned 858-824 BC). It is on display at the British Museum in London, and several other museums have cast replicas." "It is one of two complete Assyrian obelisks yet discovered, the other one being the much earlier White Obelisk of Ashurnasirpal I, and is historically significant because it is thought to display the earliest ancient depiction of a biblical figure - JEHU, KING of ISRAEL. The traditional identification of "Yaw" as Jehu has been questioned by some scholars, who proposed that the inscription refers to another king, Jehoram of Israel."

When I heard the stories of Oct 7 they sounded very familiar... Because they are the ones I heard in my childhood about the war of independence in Morocco 70 years prior. I also heard all my childhood that the Arabs were not humans, just animals. Yet in Morocco Muslims and Jews have been living together in harmony for centuries... I just knew there was no truth to the horrors of Oct 7, but that was impossible to say publicly. And it felt right away that the Palestinians were going to be sacrificed 😢😢😢.

I’m aware of the huge amount of atrocity propaganda from Israel, some % of Israelis were killed, knowingly, by there own military, mass rape is a fiction- yet there were true horrors against civilians on that day too. Whether we argue that was all part of legitimate resistance or not is one thing, but I feel we should acknowledge the atrocities that occurred against Israeli civilians- just in a human level.

    Australia too! I was born on a reservation designed by Austs Govt - I was born under The Police Protection Act' which Australias PM Gough Whitlam tore up in 1973, only free for 50 years! The people are still controlled on the reservation today - poor drinking water, poor health service, no shops, no economy whatsoever! Town is closed at 5pm for adults - children have nothing, The people have nothing just slow painful early deaths caused by colonism!

    I would say it's the most ridiculous one. It's Egypt that created the Gaza strip, not Israël. The Gaza strip is the part of former British Palestine that Egypt occupied after they attacked Israël in 1948. Together with the UN they then set up various refugee camps in that small strip of land and pushed all the refugees that had fled to Egypt there. The reason Egypt and Israel have been putting Gaza under blockade, is entirely of their own doing. After Israël gave Gaza self governance in 1995, this just lead to more and more terrorist attacks in Israël. By the 2000's there were monthly terrorist attacks. After Israel completely withdrew from Gaza in 2005, they had their first elections, and they elected Hamas. Hamas took over the Gaza strip and turned it into a terrorist hub. That's why Egypt and Israël put it under a blockade. 21% of Israeli's are Arabs, that's 2 million Arab full citizens. The notion that Israel put the Arabs in a concentration camp is rather silly.

    A most extraordinary analysis of the current conflict in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, by an exceptional scholar! I think everyone should have an opportunity to listen to what Ahmed Keeler expounds upon, in this incredible interview, so as to have a comprehensive understanding about this conflict and the conditions that set things in motion well over one hundred years ago! The three phases of settler colonialism as discussed in this interview, gives us all the ability to fully grasp how things ended up with the humanitarian nightmare we are watching play out by Israel, against the civilian population of Palestine. Only after listening to Ahmed Keeler’s brilliant explanation, can one begin to grasp the full extent of the depravity being metered out by the IDF against the Palestinian population as a whole. Indeed, the Israeli military, have become killing machines completely devoid of any humanity or empathy for the Palestinians , and it is quite horrifying to see this continue to play out on the ground each day. Knowing that the U.S. and its Western Allies are directly facilitating this horror show, and giving Israel political cover to perpetuate this barbarism, is even more disturbing. That the West remains silent as this butchery continues without end, is even more disturbing. I pray that some cooler heads will prevail, intervene and put an end to this genocide quickly, and allow the desperately needed humanitarian aid distribution to begin on a massive scale ! Thank you for sharing the brilliance and wisdom of Ahmed Keeler’s interview with all of us! We are all better informed and greatly enlightened having listened to his profound words of wisdom!
