Press Release
Mosques Are Being Burned, Muslims Are Being Killed, While Our Armies Are Watching! So How Long, O Muslims?!
(Translated)

The Prime Minister of the Jewish entity, Netanyahu, has unleashed his army in the West Bank, calling on it to expand the current operation there. Meanwhile, the entity’s so-called National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, called for an escalation of military measures there following the killing of one settler and the injury of three others. He said that the villages and towns from which the attackers come “must be treated in the same way that Beit Hanoun in the Gaza Strip was treated.”

While the Jewish entity’s army continued its operations on Sunday, settlers continued their attacks against the people of Palestine. They burned two mosques, homes, and vehicles, and wrote slogans calling for revenge. They wrote on the walls: “Revenge” and “Mosques do not frighten us.”

The reaction of the leaders of the Jewish entity to the killing and injury of some of its soldiers and settlers demonstrates how contemptuous they have become toward the Islamic Ummah and its armies, to the point that they have lost any fear of a response, even a temporary one.

Their settlers and soldiers begin and end each day killing Muslims in Palestine, in Gaza and the West Bank, displacing its people and pursuing their families through whatever homes and lands remain to them. They desecrate the place from which the Messenger of Allah (saw) made his Masra (Night Journey) on every occasion and at every opportunity. And now they deliberately target mosques, burning them out of hatred, hostility, and contempt.

Thus, there is hardly a day in Palestine without a crime committed by the Jewish entity against its people and its sanctities. The barbarism and brutality of the Jews are transmitted by camera lenses and television screens, placing them before the eyes and ears of the Islamic Ummah and its armies stationed in their barracks!

So how long, O Ummah of Islam, will your sons in the armies—officers and commanders—continue watching what is happening to Palestine, its people, and its sanctities as though they have nothing to do with it?!

The people of Palestine have a right over the armies: that they answer the call of Allah and go forth, on foot and mounted, in support of them, so that they may liberate them and cleanse the Blessed Land from the Jews, thereby attaining happiness—both they and the people of Palestine—in this world and the Hereafter.

Allah Almighty says:

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انفِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُم بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ]

“O you who believe! What is the matter with you that, when it is said unto you: Go forth in the way of Allah, you are bowed down to the ground with heaviness. Do you choose the life of the world rather than the Hereafter? The comfort of the life of the world is but little in the Hereafter.” [At-Tawbah :38]
