Gaza is Starving yet Muslim Leaders have Remained Deaf, Dumb and Blind!

News:

The hunger crisis in Gaza under ‘Israel’s’ assault has reached a “tipping point,” experts and advocates tell NBC News, with deaths expected to soar if Palestinians do not get urgent relief. And many children who do survive malnutrition will face lifelong consequences, they warn. The "window to prevent mass death is rapidly closing, and for many it's already too late," said Kirin Lanning, senior director of emergencies of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), a U.S.-based humanitarian organization. The World Health Organization warned that the "health and well-being of an entire future generation" was at stake.

Comment:

The Jewish Entity in support of US bears a significant responsibility for the mass starvation in Gaza. Since 2007, the Genocidal Regime has maintained a land, air and sea blockade on Gaza thus restricting the entry of food, fuel and Medical supplies to the people of Gaza. In its cruelty, the Jewish entity with military operation bombs farms, fisheries and water facilities. It is well established that the Jewish entity uses starvation as a way to ‘punish’ the population in Gaza and exert pressure to Hamas by making life unbearable.

The arrogant Jewish Army has continued its evil of bombing food aid convoy which is contrary to the so-called international humanitarian law. Using starvation as a method of warfare is a crime under Article 8 of the Roman Statute of the International Criminal Court. Ironically as of now, the ICC has not yet formally prosecuted or issued arrest warrants for IDF.

The starved population in Gaza are being left to the criminals of America and the Jews, as if they are not of the noble Ummah whose religion and chivalry do not permit a single person to go hungry. In essence, feeding the hungry is not just a charitable act in Islam; it is a core tenet of faith, reflecting a Muslim's commitment to social responsibility, compassion, and seeking Allah's pleasure. The Prophet (saw) said,

«لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يَبِيتُ شَبْعَانَ وَجَارُهُ جَائِعٌ»

“He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while his neighbor goes hungry,”

It is strange that the people of Gaza are starving, while the Muslim leaders across the Muslim world have remained deaf, dumb and blind! They have taken this shameful act of silence because they are subordinated to the will of the United States, which caters to the desires of the Jews. It is in this context the Egyption regime, Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia have been jointly executing Jewish vicious schemes like the siege on Gaza aimed at breaking the will of the people of Gaza to surrender to the enemy, and subjugating the entire Ummah into a total despair.

The people of Gaza, despite all these atrocities, have stood firm with the pure Iman. This character indeed has frightened the hearts of their enemies. Certainly, Allah will not waste their Jihad and any blood stain will not be shed in vain. The Muslim armies should know that Allah will hold them accountable for what is happening in Gaza in the Day of Judgment. Keeping silent will not save them from the wrath of Allah. The only Islamic position that should be taken is breaking the siege, marching to liberate Gaza and the whole of Palestine.
