The UK sanctions on Israel are unbelievably mild given that Israel has committed genocide.
They target settlers in the West Bank only which is a miniscule amount of the trade done between the UK and Tel Aviv.
They are symbolic sanctions only designed to send a message to Israel to get on with the job in a less obviously genocidal way, and to hoodwink pro Palestine voters into thinking that meaningful action is being taken against Israel.
Performative nonsense and theatre.
Court records from a U.S. lawsuit revealed that the money he mentions here came directly from the Middle East Forum think tank.
The head of the Middle East Forum is Greg Roman. He is a former employee of the Israeli Ministry of Defence and the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
عن ابن عباس، رضي الله عنهما، قال: " كنت خلف النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم، يوماً فقال: " يا غلام إني أعلمك كلمات: "احفظ الله يحفظك، احفظ الله تجده تجاهك، إذا سألت فاسأل الله ، وإذا استعنت فاستعن بالله، واعلم: أن الأمة لو اجتمعت على أن ينفعوك بشيء، لم ينفعوك إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله لك، وإن اجتمعوا على أن يضروك بشيء، لم يضروك بشيء إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله عليك؛ رفعت الأقلام، وجفت الصحف" ((رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح)) .
Long ago, people said: “Angels? Never seen one. An invisible world? Prove it. A book recording my life? Impossible.”
Today:
AI. A mind without a body, obeying every command. Like the angels who “do not disobey what they are commanded.”
WiFi. An invisible world flowing through every room. Like the unseen.
Your phone. Every word saved, nothing forgotten. Like the Book of Deeds.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” said Arthur C. Clarke.
What the past called magic, we call Monday morning.
One day the Book opens. Paradise or Fire.
It has never been easier to believe.
There is a Zionist elephant in the room which people are not discussing in relation to Sacha Baron Cohen and the backlash over his "racist" caricatures.
As I mentioned in my latest op-ed for 5Pillars.
Sacha Baron has spent decades obsessively mocking Muslims. Isn’t it time we asked why?
Britain is dangerous! Time for Muslims to master martial arts
As Britain witnesses a sharp rise in anti-Muslim racist attacks, 5Pillars visits BlackBeard Gym and Academy in Slough to hear from experienced martial arts instructors about why every British Muslim ought to know how to fight and properly defend themselves.

I'm so glad that Muslims are finally waking up to the necessity of boycotting the UAE in every way possible.
The UAE leadership has spent years trying to distort mainstream Islam, marginalise and attack mainstream Muslims, and reshape the region in the interests of Israel and Western powers
I have been advocating this boycott for at least seven years. I stopped travelling to Dubai (I used to be a regular visitor), stopped flying Emirates, and, to the best of my knowledge, stopped buying Emirati products.
Most importantly, I have consistently used my platforms to urge Muslims not to holiday in the UAE, move there unnecessarily, or promote and legitimise it in any way.
For years, I felt like a voice in the wilderness. Many Muslims probably considered my position extreme.
But alhamdulillah, that position is now becoming increasingly mainstream among Muslims across the world.
The UAE leadership has made its hostility clear through its actions. It has aligned itself with forces hostile to Muslim interests, normalised and strengthened ties with Israel, and repeatedly worked against Islamic movements and causes across the Muslim world.
Muslims should respond accordingly: no holidays, no business, no promotion, no glamourising Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and no pretending that what the UAE leadership is doing is harmless.
Boycott the UAE.
Below is an audio recording of @FarisHammadi explaining why he doesn’t criticise Israel (his government).
When we briefly met in Dubai in 2023, he told me he doesn’t believe Palestinians should resist Israeli occupation and that boycotting is a futile act.
Of course, he has very little to say about his government’s ruling elite being neck-deep in facilitating luxury brothels and the human trafficking of white European sex workers (Yousef Al-Otaiba et al)
And of course, he has all the freedom in the world to call every Muslim dai in the West “Ikhwani”, “Khawarij” and “Quboori” (by name), but absolutely no targeted critique of the liberal perennialist heretics that speak so proudly and loudly on behalf of the UAE.
So he can’t criticise Israel or his fellow zanadiqa countrymen, but he can attack Muslims (by name) left, right and centre.
Oh, he also has to clarify to Muslims he meets from the UK in Dubai that he’s not a Zionist. 😂
This is called Dubai Deranged Syndrome.
By Allah (swt), had the UAE not actively put a target on the backs of Muslims in the West, my opposition to them would have been far more tempered
But no. It wasn’t enough to destroy and destabilise Sudan, Yemen, Libya and Somalia, while normalising with Israel and conspiring against neighbouring brother nations.
It wasn’t enough to fund, amplify and export perennialist liberal heresy across the region.
They had to actively fund and ally themselves with those in the West who curse the Prophet ﷺ, defame all that is sacred in Islam, burn Qurans, petrol bomb mosques, and attack our mothers, daughters and sisters on the streets.
It’s now on like Donkey Kong, and I’m on it like a Bentley bonnet — ya khabees, zanadiqa, khawana.
My foot will remain firmly on their neck.
Afghanistan is the only Muslim nation I have ever been to where I felt the leadership genuinely loved Islam and would never be willing to compromise Islamic red lines.
We all know most Muslim leaders and governments simply pay lip service to Islam, others try to implement Islam to a certain extent but ultimately nationalism will trump all other considerations when push comes to shove.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan stands head and shoulders above all others when it comes to the intention of creating an Islamic society.
SHALOM EMIRATI ZIONISTS!
How are you wretched treacherous folk today?
Ready to rock and roll for day four?
Bismillah, finish up your morning visits to your temples and synagogues, and let’s go!
