Bismillaahi Ta’ala
 
Every few months there is international pressure on the Palestinian people to engage in some sort of negotiations with the Jews who are occupying their land. Not only is this an empty and futile gesture, it also goes in opposition to the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (S).
 
Here is how the blessed Prophet (S) dealt with those descendants of Prophet-killers in his lifetime.
 
Imam Bukhari narrates the following authentic narrations in his Saheeh:
 

 

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏”‏ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى يَهُودَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى جِئْنَاهُمْ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَنَادَاهُمْ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ يَهُودَ أَسْلِمُوا تَسْلَمُوا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ أَسْلِمُوا تَسْلَمُوا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ ذَلِكَ أُرِيدُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ ‏”‏ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الأَرْضُ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُجْلِيَكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ فَمَنْ وَجَدَ مِنْكُمْ بِمَالِهِ شَيْئًا فَلْيَبِعْهُ وَإِلاَّ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الأَرْضُ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ ‏.‏


Abu Hurairah said, While we were in the mosque, the Apostle of Allaah (S) came out and said, “Come on to the Jews.” So we went out with him and came to them. The Apostle of Allaah (S) stood up, called them and said, “If you, the community of Jews, accept Islam then you will be safe.”
They replied, “You have conveyed the message, O Abu Al-Qasim.”
The Apostle of Allaah (S) said, “Accept Islam and you will be safe.”
They replied “You have conveyed the message, O Abu Al-Qasim.”
The Apostle of Allaah (S) said, “That is what I intended.” He then said the third time, “Know that the land belongs to Allaah and His Apostle and I intend to deport you from this land. So if any of you has property, he must sell it (he cannot take it away), otherwise know that the land belongs to Allaah and His Apostle (S).”

Also narrated by Imam Muslim and Abu Dawood and others.
 
 
Also, see the following reliable narration about how Umar bin Khattaab, may Allaah be pleased with him and grant him the highest rank in Paradise, dealt with them:
 

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ، قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ عَامَلَ يَهُودَ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى أَنَّا نُخْرِجُهُمْ إِذَا شِئْنَا فَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِهِ فَإِنِّي مُخْرِجٌ يَهُودَ ‏.‏ فَأَخْرَجَهُمْ ‏.‏


Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:
Umar said: “The Messenger of Allah (S) had a transaction with the Jews of Khaybar on condition that we should expel them when we wish. If anyone has property (with them), he should take it back, for I am going to expel the Jews.” So he (Umar) expelled them.

So, this, dear brothers and sisters, is how to deal with the Jews in occupied Palestine. Do not treat these descendants of Prophet-killers with respect, since they are not worthy of it. Our Prophet and his greatest companions did not “negotiate” with them, they simply wrested away from them the land they were on, and then drove them out. That is the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet!
