They called captive women “sabaya” - "sex slave" - in keeping with Islam.

One should beware of any group in the West which is advocating for the reinstatement of funds to UNRWA. Hamas and UNRWA are intertwined, as UNRWA’s Commissioner General, Philippe Lazzarini has indicated: “Our employees are part of the social fabric in Gaza and its ecosystem. And as part of the social fabric in Gaza, you also have Hamas.” As more information comes to light to expose the Palestinian propaganda war against Israel, in a rare move, Israel has chosen to release actual audio recordings of UNRWA staff who participated in the savage October 7 attacks, to further impress the truth about UNRWA upon a willfully blind world.

In the Times of Israel, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari reveals that “young women were treated like animals” and were referred to in Islamic terms as “sabaya”:

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari in an evening press conference says that despite the “difficult content,” the military chose to release the audio recordings of UNRWA staff who participated in the October 7 onslaught, to “remind and not forget.”

“The massacre committed by Hamas on October 7 is the most documented massacre in history. Hamas terrorists filmed their own cruelty. As time goes by, more and more testimonies are revealed, more intelligence every day,” he says.

“You can hear how the terrorists entered Israeli territory, participated in the massacre, and terror, and captured ‘sabaya.’”

He explains that in one of the recordings, a Hamas terrorist, who worked as a teacher at a UNRWA school in Deir al-Balah, tells his friend that he captured a sabaya, a term used by Islamic State jihadists that means sex slave.

“Sabaya” is a term in Islam that describes women and children as the property of a Muslim man. It also means slave and handmaiden. The most difficult use of “sabaya” was by ISIS terrorists, who called the captured Yazidi women this, Hagari says.

Hagari points out what Jihad Watch has been reporting for years: that Islamic doctrine permits the rape of infidels, despite the big lie that it is un-Islamic to rape, assault and take infidel women as sex slaves.

“And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.” Quran 4:24″

“The Apostle of Allah(may peace be upon him) sent a military expedition to Awtas on the occasion of the battle of Hunain. They met their enemy and fought with them. They defeated them and took them captives. Some of the Companions of Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) were reluctant to have relations with the female captives because of their pagan husbands. So, Allaah the exalted sent down the Qur’anic verse “And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save those (captives) whom your right hand possess.” Abu Dawud 2155

“But (now) enjoy what ye took in war, lawful and good”  Quran 8:69

“And marry those among you who are single and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves…”Quran 24:32

In normative Islam, combatants and civilian adherents are indistinguishable. This is also why it is not perplexing that UNRWA employees would engage in atrocities alongside Hamas.

Al wala wal bara is a concept in Islam involving loyalty and disavowal. It demonstrates the persistent hostility of sharia-adherent Muslims against unbelievers. A Muslim is instructed under this concept to disavow disbelievers out of loyalty to Islam, which is consistent with the Qur’an’s instruction:

O you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends of one another. He among you who takes them for friends is of them. Indeed, Allah does not guide wrongdoing people. (Qur’an 5:51)

Similarly, the world is divided in two in Islam: the dar al-harb (the House of War) and the dar al-Islam (the House of Islam). It is a religious duty to turn the House of War into the House of Islam via conquest and subjugation.

Islam, therefore, is constantly at war with disbelievers. As part of this war, Muslim men are permitted in Islam to abuse sex slaves (“those whom your right hands possess”) as they wish. War is prescribed in Islam for all believers. Those who engage in it love death for the sake of Allah and believe in vast rewards in the afterlife.

A man asks Muhammad “which of men is the best?” Muhammad replies that it is the man who is always ready for battle and flies into it “seeking death at places where it can be expected.” (Sahih Muslim 20:4655)

The words of Muhammad: “I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.” (Sahih Bukhari 52:54)

Let those who sell the life of this world for the next fight in the way of Allah. Whoever fights in the way of Allah, whether he is killed or victorious, on him we will bestow a great reward. (Qur’an 4:74)

Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. (Qur’an 9:111)

As far as Hamas is concerned, the rape, murder, savagery against Israelis was validated by history and Islamic texts. The Islamic State perpetrated the same barbarism against the Yazidis just a few years ago. Muslim persecution of Christians in Africa as jihadists rampage through villages is no different. The jihadists are influenced by the example of what Muhammad did to the Jewish tribes of Medina — the Qaynuqa, Nadir, and Qurayza — when they rejected him as a prophet.

According to the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs:

The most dramatic events occurred in 627, when the men of the Qurayza tribe were massacred and the women and children were sold into slavery.

…. The slogan heard until today (at least in Hamas processions) is “Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yahud, jish Muhammad sa Ya’ud!” (Khaybar, Khaybar, o Jews! The army of Muhammad will return!). It has become a symbol of the Jews’ subjugation in Arabia only six years after the Hegira.

Muhammad only demonstrated tolerance of Jews and Christians when he was in Mecca, prior to his journey to Medina. In Medina, after he was rejected by Jewish tribes, he began waging jihad against them. He drove the Jews out of their lands unless they became Muslim or paid the jizya. Under Islamic law, hostilities toward Jews and Christians are an ongoing responsibility for the Islamic community, since the chronologically later texts abrogate earlier ones, and Muhammad fought against Jews and Christians later in his career. October 7 is a warning to the world to awaken in understanding of what jihad entails and how jihadists operate–whether it be from stealth activity to extreme barbarism. Israel stands on the front lines of an Islamic war against it and other infidel states; propaganda is being skillfully employed as a means to conceal the true character of this war. Iran, Hamas and all jihadists seek to annihilate the Jewish state, and after that, they intend to continue working toward their  goal of global conquest. As MEMRI states, Hamas “defines itself as part of the Islamic resistance movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of a worldwide Islamic caliphate.”

Mosab Hassan Yousef, a.k.a. Son of Hamas, revealed the stark truth and warned about Hamas at the UN:

If Hamas is not defeated in Gaza it will inspire many groups around the globe. They will see that few thousands of savages can blackmail the International Community, the superpowers and bring democracies to their knees. Many of them are watching now. Many of them are very happy about how the world is responding and many of them are satisfied to see the state of confusion and fear and anxiety. This is the time to get united because if Israel fails in Gaza all of us, we will be next .

Islamic expansion by means of violence in Africa and the Middle East; the jihad against Israel; the hijrah into Europe and the UK (with the full range of societal ills and threats to national security) are all consistent with 1400 years of Islamic history.

A massive army of mujahideen, who celebrate “martyrdom” are actively warring against Israel and its citizens. Many Palestinian combatants are masquerading as innocent civilians, with a generous pay-for-slay program to motivate a steady recruitment to jihad. Fatah and Hamas have also been openly promoting child martyrdom.

The West collectively does not comprehend the fact that Palestinian leaders and Hamas are willing to see their own people, including children, die as “martyrs,” and that many Palestinian civilians are likewise willing to die, since they are deemed “Allah’s chosen — the Shahids, i.e., Martyrs for Allah.” What the Palestinian leadership has indoctrinated into its people is very different from what it has been telling the international community.

The intimidating pro-Hamas protests throughout the West are merely the beginnings of a bold expansion of the Islamic jihad against Israel. Recall that the first countries on October 7 to blame Israel for the savage attacks because of its so-called “occupation” were Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, Muslim Brotherhood-supporting Qatar, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Any perceived weakness in ability to control disruptive pro-Hamas protests in the West will result in emboldenment and escalation. The unspeakable barbarity of October 7 serves as a warning. There is no possible way to appease the Palestinian “resistance” because it demands  that Israel disappear. Hamas supporters in the West are being manipulated and harnessed in order to advance the Islamic supremacist revolution. Yet they, too, will be one day be turned on as infidels.
