Massacre at Sea, Yet Another Israeli Aggression

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Once again the Jewish State has attacked innocent civilians with impudence.  Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) raided a flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip and brutally attacked defenseless civilians in the early morning hours. Casualties included more than 20 dead, many more injured, and nearly 500 taken as prisoners. This is the latest incident in the four year old, cruel blockade of Gaza by Israel.

As expected, the deceitful, Jewish aggressors blamed the incident on their victims, while it was the Israeli forces who had invaded the unsuspecting civilian ships in international waters, more than 40 miles away from the Jewish coast. Also as expected, US, Britain, and the EU have muted responses to the event expressing regret towards deaths but not condemnation of Israel for its continued violence, while masses around the world are in an uproar at the naked aggression of Israel.

This is but the most recent event in a long list of hostilities by Israel. The latest atrocities committed by the Jewish State include the carnage of over 1400 helpless babies, children, women, and elderly in Gaza, the willful and wanton destruction of homes all over Palestine, and continued segregation and oppression of the inhabitants of Gaza and the West Bank.

Though political leaders around the world have expressed outrage, their words are devoid of a real call to action to end the continuing Israeli oppression. Despite their publicity stunts and political acrobatics, the rulers in the Muslim world are unsurprisingly silent in the necessary calls for swift and resolute military action to thwart the criminal Jewish State. The reluctance of Muslim rulers to mobilize their armed forces makes them complicit in the Jewish State’s transgressions against Muslims.

The Turkish Prime Minister, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has verbally berated Israel for its actions. However if he truly wanted to fix the problem, he would urgently call his military in response to the Jewish State to avenge the deaths of his Muslim brethren and to liberate the occupied lands.  It was not that long ago that the Muslims of his land had been bestowed the custodianship of Palestine and all Muslim lands. For over a thousand years, the land of Palestine was integral to the Turkish people and other Muslims alike. Only recently was it treacherously stripped from the Uthmani Khilafah and the Jewish State was implanted in it. The Uthmani Khulafaa were the vanguard that defended Muslim lands and gave Muslims dignity. When the Khalifah Abdul Hamid II was approached by a group of Zionist Jews to pay to settle in the land of Palestine, he rebuked them by saying:  "to have the scalpel cut my body is less painful than to witness Palestine being detached from the Khilafah state."

It is not America, nor Europe, nor the UN that will come to the rescue of the oppressed Muslims.  Only the sincere Muslim army can.

Rasullah (SAW) clearly demonstrated the actions Muslims must take to defend themselves from a belligerent enemy. When the Jewish tribe of Banu Qainuqa’ perfidiously betrayed the treaty they had with the Muslims by disrobing a Muslim women and starting a battle against Muslims, the Prophet (SAW) responded with swift force. He (SAW) marched out with an army to lay a siege on the offending Jewish tribe and expelled them.

Oh Muslims, answer the cry for help from your brothers and sisters in Palestine. Protect the innocent men, women, and children that face daily attacks on their lives, limbs, and property from the Jewish aggressor. The commanders of the Muslim armies need to break the shackles placed on them by their puppet rulers and the puppet masters in Washington and Europe to intervene on behalf of the oppressed Muslims of Palestine. They need to respond to the cry:

رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَـذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا

"Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help." (TMQ 4:75)
