Children are the most vulnerable segment of society. During war, they suffer the most. Two case studies are examined—Iraq and Palestine—although in other locales their plight is equally grim. The aggressors take sadistic pleasure in killing children. Palestinian children are especially targeted.
The hours of agony that six-year-old Hind Rajab endured, trapped in her uncle’s car on January 29, 2024, before being murdered, execution-style by the zionist war criminals, strikingly captures the suffering of the Palestinians as well as the evil nature of zionism. Her story must never be forgotten.
Much noise has been made about the western regimes’ recognition of a Palestinian state while they continue to support the genocide perpetrated by the zionists in Gaza. Such hypocrisy must be exposed and challenged.
Divested of its Islamic character, the struggle for Palestine becomes another nationalistic struggle with the same disastrous consequences that previous struggles have faced. Muslims have to be carefully that their legitimate struggle is not hijacked by people with other agendas.
The responsibility of the zionist war criminals in the starvation and genocide of the people of Gaza is well known. The Arabian rulers are equally complicit in facilitating the starvation of Palestinian babies, women and the elderly. They must be held accountable.
The zionists’ ongoing genocide in Gaza is meant to make life so miserable for the Palestinians that they would be forced to leave. The Palestinians refuse to leave despite the death and destruction inflicted upon them.
Hajj should be the natural time to discuss the plight of the Palestinian people and find a solution to zionist-perpetrated genocide. Instead, the illegal occupiers of the Haramyn, the Banu Saud, have reduced it to an empty ritual devoid of its original purpose.
Zionist Israel is pursuing a scorched-earth policy in the occupied West Bank. Palestinians are targeted as never before with the clear intention to drive them out of there for the zionist expansionist project.
