Arab and Muslim countries must unite and take a common stand on Palestinian issue as more than a hundred Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire in the past weeks on Gaza border including 62 alone on Monday last. The dead also include an eight-month old baby to show how helpless those people even at their homes.
Many blame Hamas leadership in Gaza trip for mindlessly pushing unarmed young people at Israeli border only to die. They must know that unarmed people have no power to face well-equipped Israeli soldiers who killed them like birds. They can’t win war with Israel this way.
But it is also true that the Palestinians in the West Bank without joining the uprising
are also of no help to end the occupation when Israeli security forces control the streets there.

moment giving call to all Muslim countries and international community to resist Israeli aggression on unarmed Palestinians in their occupied land.
It is highly intriguing why Arab countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan
and UAE in the region are distancing from the Palestinian people’s tragedy. Erdogan said on Friday that the UN is finished because it has lost the credibility as a world body to protect world peace.

He voiced his frustration as a resolution at the UN Security Council (UNSC) calling
for condemnation of the Israeli killing of Palestinians failed to hold ground on US opposition.. The proposal had also called for sending an’ investigation mission’ to the area. Israel said Palestinians gathered at Gaza border were terrorists and rejected the proposal to send investigation mission terming it a politically motivated move.
The IOC emergency summit in Istanbul on Friday has also given call to all Muslim countries and International Community not to allow the status of Jerusalem to be changed and a common stance need to be taken on Gaza situation.
The meeting convened when the USA shifted its embassy to East Jerusalem last week flaring up protest from the Palestinians claiming their right on East Jerusalem as the future capital of Palestine. The OIC has also called upon the 57 member states to prevent other countries from shifting their embassies to East Jerusalem.
Need to be mentioned that the OIC and the Arab League also met in emergency summits when Donald Trump had announced to shift US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem few months back. They had given similar call to unite to save the Palestinians cause but there was no visible outcome from it.

In our view such special meetings have no meaning if corrupt and boneless Arab leaders really don’t mean it. We must say Arabs must rise to the occasion abandoning their subservient policy towards the USA; which will never deliver the goods. Muslims must end fight among them and take steps for facing Israel to liberate Palestine. But when the Saudi Crown Prince says Palestinians must listen to what Donald Trump says or shut, the crack in the Palestinian issue seems to be quite irreparable.
The tragedy centering the holy city of Jerusalem entered a new chapter last week along the Gaza border as protesters gathered to denounce opening of US embassy in East Jerusalem.
Anger in Gaza reached the boiling point on that occasion while Israel celebrates the shifting of US embassy with jubilation. The uprising in Gaza coincided Palestinians commemoration of ‘Naqba’ or catastrophe which they observe annually recalling the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes in 1947 by Jewish settlers from the land now state of Israel and their right to return.
We must bridge the divide between Shiites and Sunnis and get together as Muslims against the common killer enemy Israel. Israeli government is enjoying killing helpless Palestinians freely. The Muslim countries have to be on a war path to fight Israel for upholding our honour and dignity. Israeli government is humiliating the whole Muslim world by killing Palestinians recklessly as if they are animals.
