Several prominent Muslim scholars have issued a rare religious decree or “fatwa”, calling on all Muslims and Muslim-majority countries to wage “jihad” against Israel after 17 months of devastating war against Palestinians residing in the besieged enclave.
Ali al-Qaradaghi, the secretary general of the International Union Of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), an organisation previously led by Yusuf al-Qaradawi, called on all Muslim countries on Friday “to intervene immediately militarily, economically and politically to stop this genocide and comprehensive destruction, in accordance with their mandate”.
“The failure of the Arab and Islamic governments to support Gaza while it is being destroyed is considered by Islamic law to be a major crime against our oppressed brothers in Gaza,” he said in the decree comprising some 15 points.
Qaradaghi is one of the region’s most respected religious authorities and his decrees carry significant weight among the world’s 1.7bn Sunni Muslims.
Wouldn’t it have been better to fatwa specific Israeli leaders instead of the entire country that is full of civilians who didn’t cause this?
Would have gone a long way I think to showing they are the moral high ground in the situation.
“wouldn’t it have been better to only go to war with specific Nazi leaders, instead of the entirety of Nazi Germany, that is full of civilians who didn’t cause this?”
Also yes? Do you think there were literally no innocent or anti-nazi during Nazi Germany? It was just extremely dangerous to speak out.
So you disagree with the allies going to war with Nazi Germany?
Israel is the cause of this. Their target is completely correct.
97% of Israelis support ethnically cleansing Gaza.
Idk man, there’s been many protests such as this one since. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/25/nx-s1-5339490/israel-protests-netanyahu-hostages-gaza-war
Those are about the captives. The do not care one bit about Palestinians. Actually scratch that, they care 3/100 bits about Palestinians.
I hate this excuse liberals keep making, either to whitewash the actions of nations that have lost their minds, or to do cringe “I hate the government not the people” sthicks.
The government doesn’t fall from the heavens. The Israeli leaders, just like the Americans or Nazis did not come out of nowhere and cause mass hypnosis amongst the innocent populations whose only crime was to be too weak to resist hypnosis. These leaders emerged from the population. They were supported by the population before they acquired legislative/executive power (that’s how you aquire the power in the first place). Their commands mean nothing if the population doesn’t go along with it. These leaders are leaders of nations only so long as they represent the wills of their nations, and the will of their nations is to kill, to loot and to worship their capitalist masters.
No man, and I mean none at all rules alone. One comes to realise this truth when one converses directly with the supposed innocents in America, or Germany or Israel. These people by and large know that their governments are involved in genocide (at this point, who isn’t aware?), and if they aren’t actively cheering it on, at the minimum they are going along with it.
Israel is a democratic country. The Israelis willingly elect war criminals to lead their country.
I voted D, but all Americans are to blame for Trumps shitty actions because a minority of Americans voted for him?
Back to Israel, you sure about that? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018–2022_Israeli_political_crisis
