When Elon Musk spoke plainly about the conflict in Palestine, he said what millions already knew but few public figures dared to voice: “For every Hamas member that you kill, how many did you create? And if you create more than you killed, you have not succeeded.” This brutally honest observation from one of the most influential voices on the planet cuts through the propaganda and aligns with a principle that Islam has upheld for over 1,400 years — that justice and mercy are not signs of weakness, but the foundation of lasting peace. In this episode of The Deen Show, resident scholar Dr. Shadi joins Eddie to unpack the real history behind Hamas, respond to Patrick Bet-David’s viral video, and present the truth that mainstream media consistently ignores.
Elon Musk Calls for Mercy — And Islam Already Has the Answer
The smart policy is what Elon Musk is saying: mercy. Show mercy to the people. If you are totally political, then you know that money, a bright future, a career — that is going to make people not want to be militaristic. Fill the bellies of the people, give them some careers, give them some opportunities — maybe the next generation will soften.
Elon Musk’s call for mercy is not a new idea — it is the very core of Islam. The Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) established mercy, justice, and fair treatment of all people as non-negotiable obligations. What Musk arrived at through common sense, Islam codified as divine law centuries ago. The fact that one of the world’s most prominent tech leaders is echoing Islamic values of compassion should make every truth-seeker pause and reflect on where real guidance comes from.
The History They Never Show You: Who Started the Terrorism?
- The Haganah and Irgun — classified as terrorist organizations by the CIA and the US Department of Justice — bombed Arab villages, attacked British bases, and used violence to force the creation of a state. The Haganah is now the IDF.
- Hamas did not exist in a vacuum. As Dr. Shadi explains, Hamas would not have existed without the Irgun and the decades of Zionist aggression that preceded it. Resistance is the secondary infection; occupation is the primary one.
- Patrick Bet-David gave one side. He made a detailed 25-minute video on the history of Hamas, Hezbollah, and ISIS — but never covered the Haganah, Irgun, or the documented terrorism that built Israel. The Muslim community is asking him: be fair, show both sides.
- The British reversed the Balfour Declaration with a White Paper limiting Jewish immigration to 75,000 — but Zionist militias used terrorism to override that decision and force the creation of Israel.
- Elon Musk confirmed the obvious: “If you kill somebody’s child in Gaza, you have made at least a few Hamas members who will die just to kill an Israeli.” Bombing civilians does not create peace — it creates generations of resistance.
Islam’s Principle of Justice Exposes the Double Standard
The Palestinians are the embattled small group of people. They have no weapons, no recognition in the world, no one is helping them, they do not have opportunities in life. When they are acting out, there must be a primary infection. Why do we not look at the primary cause — the root of the whole matter?
Islam teaches that you cannot judge a conflict by walking in at the middle and seeing one side punch back. You must examine the root cause. The Quran commands believers to stand firmly for justice even against themselves, and Imam al-Shafi’i said it best: “I believe I am right, but there is a possibility I am wrong.” This is the intellectual honesty and faith-driven fairness that the world desperately needs. The truth about Palestine is documented on government websites, in declassified CIA files, and in the lived experience of millions — and it is time for every fair-minded person, Muslim or not, to demand the full story be told.
Faith, Truth, and the Path Forward
Elon Musk did not speak as a Muslim, but his words echoed what Islam has always taught: that mercy is strength, that killing breeds more killing, and that justice is the only path to peace. For those searching for truth about Islam, Palestine, and what really drives Muslims in life, the Quran holds those answers.
