This is the hidden and dark origin of the modern notion of nonviolence. Not the shallow contemporary obsession with “what works”. Love works because it does not work. It only works when it is done for itself. Only the very few receive the gift of this realisation but society is always redeemed by the actions of the very few.

For Gaza love in action would require a hundred people to sit by the road and stop eating and drinking. When asked what they are doing, they would say they are waiting to die, or the killing needs to stop. They would win because love is prepared to die for love. And many of the hundred might indeed die before love shames those doing the killing to stop. They are warriors of god.

Of course, people will be outraged. But why object to a few people dying for love when thousands die for hate?

To be clear then; love is only love when it is for itself; because love is god and god is for god. Infinite.

And those who die for love, with mayhem happening all around them, will have a smile on their face. They have entered the Kingdom as it was once called. Reunited with the One. At peace at last.

No. If what or who you love is under threat you fight to protect it, and 'what works' is of vital importance. If your strategy to protect what or who you love isn't working then you try something else, and something else, and something else until it does work. Hallam hasn't changed anything about his strategy - except to water it down and infuse it with god-bothering - and still insists on its effectiveness (at least when he's recruiting) which is obviously untrue. I interpret that to mean that his motivation isn't love, but ego and a dangerous embrace of personal grandiosity.
