ADNAN OKTAR: The authorities of a relief organization formed by people who admire our Fathullah Hodja told that they easily convey their aid materials to the region, without facing any problems. That means that no problem whatsoever would arise if things are done as I say.

Now, what are the things that Israel can do there? What are the things we can accomplish there? Let me tell them clearly once again. One needs to absolutely approach with peace and compassion. Israel has the right to live there. It is unbecoming to... Tell me, where would Jews go? Wherever they go, they are exiled. They go to Spain, they are told, “Leave here.” They go another country, they are told, “Leave here.” In other words, they need a homeland, a space for themselves. Consequently, such an attitude would not be conscientious. It is unbecoming to exile them constantly from one place to another. It is reasonable for Jews to reside at those places. They need to be approached with compassion. In other words, people should not cause them to go through a nightmare. Jews, on the other hand, must get out of this agitation. It is very vital for them not to take such strict measures and respond so fiercely. It is a very urgent need. It is so vital for them to abandon this style. But before that of course, it is of very vital importance for us to make them feel that they can hold on those places as their homeland and that they are under our trust. But as you can notice, the subject always revolves around Hazrat Messiah (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). That is, in the absence of Hazrat Messiah (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) there is absolutely always disorder. Now I stress once again; it is impossible, nothing can be put in order. Hazrat Messiah (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) should definitely appear. But as a primary precaution, as you see, that relief organization tells that they can easily convey the aid supplies. Their methods should be employed, right?

ALTUĞ BERKER:There is another relief organization called, “Kimse Yok mu Derneği” (Is there no one?)... Ozkara, the chairperson of this association said, “We have been also conveying aid materials but face no problems.’ He added; ‘We have been conveying aid materials to Palestine since 2006. During this process we have not had any diplomatic problems with Israel because our procedures are proper and legitimate.”

ADNAN OKTAR: That is the point... Within the destiny, Allah creates everything with a good in it, with wisdom. But that means that if a reasonable style is employed, that is to say, if one goes there with a permission, act kindly, and if they are accompanied by the Israelis as well to show them the distribution then it appears that there would be no problems, no trouble at all. But at any rate the incident should be investigated both by Turkey and an international justice commission and the guilty should be punished. One can not say “Allah bless your hands” in the face of such an incident. It does not make any difference whoever the criminal may be. Insha’Allah.

We ask for Allah’s mercy for those brothers of ours who lost their lives, who were martyred. If a Muslim goes sincerely to earn Allah’s good pleasure, to earn something good, and then he attains Allah’s presence leaving his body behind, then this is called martyr. This has no other name. Because for what purpose does this person set off? He says, “ I set off for the purpose of helping, to do a good deed.” He goes for a good deed to happen, to provide aid to Muslims, to do good to human beings. He goes there and meets an incident he does not predict and Allah takes his soul. The Qur’an refers this as martyrdom. Since his purpose is to do good, since he proceeds on the way of Allah and struggles on His way... What does All-Mighty Allah call those people who die and are killed on the way of Allah? Allah tells us not to call such people as “deceased”. Allah says, “They are martyrs. They are alive at Our Sight.” And we surely call them martyrs. In compliance with the style of the Qur’an we reveal the truth.

But it is extremely baseless for Israel to feel anxious about this issue. Turkey has revealed its outlook towards Israel, to Jews right from the depths of history. We are the ones who took them from Spain and brought to Turkey and we protected them and ensured their welfare under the best conditions in Turkey. Also today they are very comfortable in Turkey. If they feel the slightest restlessness, they should tell it. Something of this sort is unlikely, impossible. They are treated with meticulous care. In other words the love and respect shown to them is far beyond the normal levels. Consequently they are never treated unjustly. Just as how careful we are towards the Jews in Turkey, we are also so towards the ones in Israel. Therefore it would be very baseless and erroneous to represent the situation as if there were a problem. But in issues of this kind continuous dialog and communication is very important. That is to say, in case of urgent situations, abrupt incidents may happen, because of lack of conversation, lack of communication. For instance the reason of the majority of fights on streets is this lack of communication. If in such a case a wise person, or a few sensible people intervene and provide the solution, then there would be no problem. Such incidents happen because people do not intervene and the parties make abrupt decisions after their own hearts. For instance assume that the incident goes out of control. If someone intervenes instantly, someone that has influence on them, then the problem comes to an end. But as you see the subject again comes to Hazrat Messiah (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Everyone knows that such an event does not happen at a place where Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is present. Everyone knows that nothing of that sort occurs somewhere where Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is present.
