The Quranic verse that Mahmoud Abbas quoted to Palestinian youth

PA president and dictator for life Mahmoud Abbas wrote a handwritten letter to Palestinian youth on their being steadfast until they control all of Palestine (and, of course, destroy Israel):

 In the name of God the Merciful

"O you who believe! If you support Allah, He will support you, and will strengthen your foothold." This is a great truth of Allah.

Generation after generation, we have carried the trust that Allah has placed in our hearts. Generation after a generation, our veins continue to stand by the oath and the oath that we remain the protectors of this beloved homeland, steadfast in it, to preserve its identity and achieve its freedom and independence with the popular resistance in which all our sons and daughters are involved .

We have not been discouraged by sacrifice, but have increased our hardness, determination and resolve to continue our noble path no matter how long it takes.

And with the determination of youth we will raise the flag of Palestine over the walls and minarets of Jerusalem and its churches. 

The initial verse is interesting. It comes from the Quran, 47:7.

Here is the context of the Quranic statement:

1. Those who disbelieve and repel from the path of God—He nullifies their works.

2. While those who believe, and work righteousness, and believe in what was sent down to Muhammad—and it is the truth from their Lord—He remits their sins, and relieves their concerns.

3. That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehoods, while those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. God thus cites for the people their examples.

4. When you encounter those who disbelieve, strike at their necks. Then, when you have routed them, bind them firmly. Then, either release them by grace, or by ransom, until war lays down its burdens. Had God willed, He could have defeated them Himself, but He thus tests some of you by means of others. As for those who are killed in the way of God, He will not let their deeds go to waste.

5. He will guide them, and will improve their state of mind.

6. And will admit them into Paradise, which He has identified for them.

7. O you who believe! If you support God, He will support you, and will strengthen your foothold.

8. But as for those who disbelieve, for them is perdition, and He will waste their deeds.

9. That is because they hated what God revealed, so He nullified their deeds.

10. Have they not journeyed through the earth and seen the consequences for those before them? God poured destruction upon them, and for the unbelievers is something comparable.

11. That is because God is the Master of those who believe, while the disbelievers have no master.

This message is anything but peaceful.
