Response of Muslim countries to the recent Israel massacre of peaceful Palestinian demonstrators is deeply disgusting. Their silence showed that they have become slaves of United States and Zionist Jews whose agenda they implement to remain in power.
On Monday 14 March 2018 Palestinians came out on peaceful demonstration to express their opposition to US President Donald Trump’s decision to shift US embassy to occupied Jerusalem in violation of all moral and legal principles. Following day Palestinians all over observed the 70 anniversary of their deportation from the homes and lands in 1948,
Israel, planted in the heart of Middle East by Britain, France, US and Russia, responded with its traditional barbarity and killed 62 Palestinians and injured more than 2700-some of them very seriously.
While Zionist Jews slaughtered peaceful Palestinians in their latest massacre, the Arab tyrants simply watched while Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt sided with Israel.
This is the lowest depth to which degenerated tyrants have descended to. They are perhaps the worst of rulers in the more than14 century history of Islam and Muslims. They have nothing to do with Islam, Muslims or even humanity.
Renowned Islamic scholar Yusuf Al-Qaradawi said that all Muslims around the world should be concerned about Jerusalem and defend it as it is not only a matter that affects Palestinians and Arabs.
“We emphasize and reiterate that Palestine is the first cause for all Muslims and it is a religious and moral duty to defend it,” Al-Qaradawi wrote on Twitter after the United States transferred its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
One commentator said; “It was the day Hell let loose and the heavens cried. Abandoned by 1.6 billion Muslims and 59 Muslim Countries, betrayed by the Arab world headed by the narcissistic Saudis and his cohorts, the first qibla, the very place from where our beloved Prophet went on Mihraag, and the third holiest place to the Muslims , was thus baptized in the Palestinian blood became part of Zionist entity. The 70th Nakba blood letting has no parallel in Human history, where the Zionists relished the Palestinians blood and Trump the sadistic American President drove the final nail.
A frustrated Palestinian lady said that the Arab leaders are “cowards”. “They’re only men in name but I swear they have nothing to do with men…”
The Arab tyrants have become so hard hearted that Egypt’s Sisi blocked Turkish aircraft from using their airports to transport thousands of Palestinians wounded by Israeli troops during protests in Gaza.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan lashed out at the international “silence” over the Israeli killings. “If the silence on Israel’s tyranny continues, the world will rapidly be dragged into a chaos where banditry prevails,” Erdogan said at a dinner in Ankara.
Erdogan said Ankara was pressing members of the U.N. Security Council to be more active and the Turkish chief of staff and foreign ministry were working to evacuate the injured from Gaza.
Turkey will not allow Israel to steal Jerusalem from Palestinians. “We will support the struggle of our brothers until the days when the Palestinian lands — which have long been occupied — will have peace and security within the borders of the free Palestinian state,” he added.
Dealing with western hypocrisy one commentator said that “double standards is an understatement. Not a single Western country has so far ordered the expulsion of Israeli diplomats in protest over the mass killings of Palestinian civilians
Imagine the outrage western governments would express if someone were to kill more than 50 Israelis on the streets of Tel Aviv in a single day. Yet the silence from most western ministers is deafening. Worse still, there are attempts to justify the deaths as legitimate self-defense.
Trump is different from his predecessors. He makes no effort to understand the Palestinians’ current proposals for peace, let alone the history of the conflict. Choosing to move the US embassy to Jerusalem on the very day Israelis marked their state’s anniversary while Palestinians mourned their Nakba (“catastrophe”) showed insensitivity at best. At worst it was a deliberate provocation, denying to the Palestinians all pretense of US even-handedness. But then, of course, Trump has shown that blend of ignorance and arrogance which is the hallmark of many would-be aspirants to the highest office in the United States, and which some who get elected never overcome.
Israel was sharply criticised at a U.N. human rights body. ” U.N. human rights chief Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein told the Council that Israeli forces had killed 106 Palestinians, including 15 children, since March 30. More than 12,000 were injured, at least 3,500 by live ammunition. Israel was an occupying power under international law, obliged to protect the people of Gaza and ensure their welfare.
“But Palestinians are, in essence, caged in a toxic slum from birth to death; deprived of dignity; dehumanized by the Israeli authorities to such a point it appears officials do not even consider that these men and women have a right, as well as every reason, to protest.
“Israel must be dismantled as a state and its leaders must stand international trial for their massacres against us since 1948,” said Ibrahim Abu Galeb, 65, a refugee living in southern Gaza. “Israel occupied our land, displaced our people, killed our children’s dreams to live safely and it is behind our sickness and poverty.”
Prof Jeremy Salt who specializes in modern history of the Middle East had this to say in an article titled Celebrations in Jerusalem, Slaughter in Gaza.
Israel revels in its power. It has a large military, it has the US in its pocket, it has nuclear weapons so what could possibly go wrong? It can do what it likes, from massacring scores of Palestinians along the Gaza fence just in one day, to killing Iranians and Syrians in missile strikes and murdering Palestinians in foreign countries who are deemed to be a threat. It gets away with all of this, and, encouraged by the quiescence of the ‘international community’, sees no reason to modify its abominable behavior.
The spectacle of the US embassy being opened in Al Quds, an occupied city under international law, was a freak show. As the celebrations of Israel’s ‘independence’ and the relocation of the US embassy continued through the day, Palestinians were being slaughtered on the other side of the Gaza fence line. No-one cared, not Netanyahu, not Ivanka Trump and not her father back in Washington, breaking international law by recognizing an occupied city as the capital of Israel. The champagne flowed. Trump received the accolades of a latter-day Balfour. Ivanka smiled her dolly bird smile while her husband Jared talked of how the embassy opening was going to help the cause of peace.
The killing of unarmed Palestinians, including children, by Israeli snipers could not be allowed to spoil the party. In any case, Jared blamed them: it was they who were responsible for the violence, not the snipers killing them and not the state that stole their land and drove them off it. It was grotesque. The day’s slaughter was not exceptional, not an aberration but fully consistent with Israel’s savage behavior ever since 1948.
The delusion of Jerusalem being a Jewish city is a thin mask pulled over the reality. Al Quds is an occupied Palestinian city, open to Muslims, Christians, and Jews until the Crusaders came along in the 11th century and until the Zionists set foot in Palestine in the 20th.
Every stone in its streets, arches, walls and fine houses was put in place over the past 1000 years and beyond by Muslim and Christian artisans, not by Jews and certainly not by the Zionists living in stolen Palestinian property and on stolen Palestinian land.
Israel has brought nothing to the Middle East but violence and destruction, directed against Palestinians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Syrians, Iraqis, Egyptians, and Tunisians, anyone who dares to challenge it. It is a state based on theft and murder. Its ruling ideology
It is little different from other racist ideologies, of Nazi Germany or apartheid South Africa.
It destroys endlessly yet endlessly claims its own ‘right’ to exist. The Middle East has been pushed beyond all limits of human endurance by this psychopathic state.
It was NBC’s Cal Parry who summed up the obscenity of Donald Trump’s ignorant and igniting decision to move the US Embassy to West Jerusalem, then to celebrate the inauguration on Monday, 14th May: “Well dressed American and Israeli officials on one side of the screen: desperation, death and fires on the other.”
