The “intention”
of acknowledging a Palestinian state if Israel does not allow aid, specifically
food, to enter Gaza and feeds it starving population, is not a genuine “call to
action”. A two-state solution is also being proposed. Can anyone witness such
starvation and remain in a state in inertia. The denial of aid entering Gaza has
been intensified with time. The immediate neighbouring Arab countries, Jordan
and Egypt, blame the Zionists and claim innocence in this denial of aid
entering Gaza.
France and Britain
are amongst those who meekly suggest that Palestine be recognised even though
there is ample evidence of its existence prior to 1948. The state of Israel was
the creation of Britain and its allies, and they are all accountable. Does this
mean that they are all complicit to this heinous crime? Yet, here they are
acting is they have the Palestinian interest at heart, as if they are humane,
seeking a peaceful outcome. Allah says in Quran:
When they are
told, “Do not spread corruption in the land,” they reply, “We are only
peace-makers!” Indeed, it is they who are the corruptors, but they fail to
perceive it. [Quran
11-12]
Is there a
right-minded, fair-minded person alive today who accepts the savage ill-treatment
-of another human being? The one who believes it is acceptable to deliberately
starve a people, literally to death, has lost all humanity. You judge for
yourself then regarding the person who has the means to end the starvation but
does not act on it. The USA, UK and its allies have supplied bombs to Israel
which then rained down on Gaza. This bombardment was, and still is, in the full
view of the world. Laws are passed to silence those who dare speak out against
it. Now we are watching a man-made famine taking the lives of people, mostly
children, amongst the ruins of their neighbourhoods. Not too far off is
Jerusalem, a holy place to three major religions. Thus, a heinous crime is
being committed in the precincts of Jerusalem; indeed, it is taking place in
the holy land.
Allah speaks of
Aqsa when He says:
“Glory be to
the One Who took His servant ˹Muḥammad˺ by night from the Sacred Mosque to
the Farthest Mosque whose surroundings We have blessed …” [Quran 17:1]
It matters not
that you are Muslim, Christian or Jew, but if you support a group of people
that have exacted such brutality on others and starves them, then you cannot be
one who submits to the God of Abraham and Moses – peace be upon them. Truth is
superior and should be superior if you do consider yourself a believer. No one’s
lineage spares them from justice if they act unjustly. All that you are required
to do is call out those who disobey God’s law. Make your voices heard. Use all
the platforms at your disposal. That call includes that food and other aid
should be allowed freely into Gaza and save the people from a deadly starvation.
While you may wish to argue the point that “Israel has a right to defend
themselves”, there certainly must be limits. Don’t you think so? Shall we
subject every woman and child to these extreme conditions?
We mentioned
those who were responsible for the creation of Israel. The same people supplied
bombs that killed many thousands in Gaza. They have not actively engaged to
ensure aid, food, reach the people in Gaza. Are they complicit? Is your silence
consent to starve the people of Gaza? Or are you a believer? Almighty God does
not sleep. There will be a day of reckoning.
