FRIDAY PRAYERS IN AL-AQSA MOSQUE & JEWISH THREATS
THE REGION INTENSLY AMID WITH TEL AVIV ATTACK TENSION
By : Hassan Zubair
- A Palestinian gunman who shot two Israeli soldiers at a bar was killed in Jaffa in exchange of fire fight on Thursday 7th-April-2022
- Now that the Palestinians have started to rebel against Israeli’s, where they used knives before are now using guns against Israeli soldiers. Therefore the rate of victims has increased in Palestine in last few weeks.
After Thursday’s incident in Tel Aviv the security by Israeli forces was tightened severely. However according to some sources around 50,000 people were able to perform first Friday Prayer of Ramadan peacefully. After the incident on Thursday things got worse .People who had wanted to enter Al-Aqsa Mosque came early morning after passing the check points of Israeli forces. Approximately 3000 Israeli soldiers were deployed throughout East and West Bank of Jerusalem. Even though many Palestinians and Israeli Muslims kept coming in Al-Aqsa mosque, the security forces never hesitated for a second to torture or harass those poor souls who came to worship, passing through their check points. ‘Ikrima Sabri’ the Imam of Al-Aqsa ,urged worshippers to attend prayers regularly and not to be afraid of Israeli forces .He specially emphasized on attending ‘Taraweeh Prayers’ at night of Ramadan .
President Abbas said,” the cycle of violence confirms that permanent, comprehensive and just peace is the shortest and correct way to provide security for the Palestinians, Israelis and people of the region.”
Ibrahim Al-Anbawi ,53 years old from Anata refugee camp near Jerusalem, told ‘iPak News’ correspondents that the prayer took place without any tension .However there were few worshippers then before due to the Tel Aviv incident. Ibrahim offers Friday prayers every week in Al-Aqsa mosque .He told our correspondents that the attack by Palestinians gunman casts a shadow of fear amongst people over life in both west Bank and Israel. However President Abbas of Palestine condemns the attack and stressed the dangers of such repeated provocative actions might not only increase the number of victims but also allow extremist groups to continue with their evil plans of creating total chaos in the region.
According to high ranking security officer of Palestinians security forces, the shift of weapons used against Israeli forces reflects the anger of Palestinian people against Israeli oppression .People are forced to pick up guns against Israeli oppression .People who were used to use knives and stones have now been able to kill more than 14 Israeli soldiers and wounded dozens in the past month alone. Since people are not helped by the so called authorities against Israeli torture and harassment, the people have decided not to be victims anymore but rebel, instead. For them it’s Jihad and to me it is justified. Israeli News channels are calling this retaliation terrorism which is completely opposite of what they are trying to portray in front of the World .It’s the Israeli forces who are spreading terror among the people of that region. An attack on a mosque is ample reason to prove their terrorist acts against Muslims of Palestine. Jews believe that they will win this fight against Palestinians Muslims. They have no idea what we Muslims are capable of. The level of tolerance and resentment are directly proportional to each other. We tolerate only when we want to .We retaliate to our fullest capability when we want to. So for those who believe that we Muslims are weak are very much mistaken. Even though the Friday prayers were conducted peacefully, a group of Jews threatened to storm Al-Aqsa mosque on Saturday which ultimately emerged anger and resentment amongst Muslims.
Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said: “We will fight terrorism together, strike the resistance fighters wherever they hide, find their senders and collaborators anywhere, and not rest until calm returns to the streets.”
In contrast, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said: “We will expand our operations against the wave of attacks. The price we will be extracting from the perpetrators of the attacks and their senders will be heavy. We have already arrested 200 Palestinians, if necessary we will arrest thousands more.”
Whereas President Abbas said the killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians “only leads to a further deterioration of the situation, as we all strive to achieve stability, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, and the upcoming Christian and Jewish holidays.”
Palestinians returned to Al-Aqsa on Saturday .since threats of storming Al-Aqsa mosque were made by certain Jewish groups. Muslims of Palestine are ready to give their lives before Al-Aqsa Mosque .An analyst ‘Nabil Faydi’ from East Jerusalem shared with ‘iPak’ correspondents that there is a fear amongst people of the temporal division of Al-Aqsa Mosque between Muslims and Jews. As happened before at the ‘Ibrahimi mosque’ in Hebron. He also shared that this time the Palestinians Muslims have taken matters into their own hands. There is no way that Jews will ever succeed.
Nabil also shared , I quote, “Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock are a red line for the Palestinians. Israel is trying to separate the 350,000 Palestinians living in East Jerusalem from the Palestinians living in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and inside Israel. But recent events have proven that the Palestinians are united. It is a matter of Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
He added that threats on Friday were test from Jews to measure the Palestinians reaction. But what happened in Al-Aqsa proves that Palestinians are ready to give their lives to redeem the mosque. Muslims will never ever allow Jewish rituals to be practiced inside Islam’s third Holiest place in the World.
The organization of Islamic Cooperation condemned Israeli’s blitz on into the sacred mosque of Al-Aqsa. More than thousands of worshippers were injured severely .Hundreds were killed. OIC said, I quote, “This dangerous escalation is an affront to the feelings of the entire Muslim Ummah and a blatant violation of international resolutions and instruments.”
Furthermore OIC also added that,” Let’s be very clear that we hold Israeli occupation fully responsible for the fallout of such daily crimes and offenses against the Palestinian people, their territories and sanctuaries.”
OIC has called on International community, particularly the United Nations (UN) Security Council, to act against these constant violations. It’s just about matter of time that things escalate to such extent that nothing will be able to help stop the fight between Muslims and Jews of the World. On this note I urge my readers to recall what Adolf Hitler once said, I quote, ,” You should be Thankful to me for The Jews that I killed, the rest who I have spared are for the World to see what they really are.” I cannot speak for the World or others but if I place myself in Palestinians shoes I so wish Hitler was alive today.
The whole World is talking about Ukraine but no one cares about what’s happening in Palestine/Iraq/Yemen/Kashmir/Somalia/Libya. When Ukrainians do it against the Russians, it is heroism. When Palestinians do it against the Israelis, it is only terrorism. Such double standards.
It was never about Ukraine or Russia or Yemen or IRAQ ,so on and so forth .It was always about Muslims . The Unified Muslim Ummah terrorises these Jews and Non-muslim haters to their very core . Israel had already succeeded in concurring good relation with Arabs in UAE and even some parts of SAUDIA. Those business loving arabs are going to regret their actions very soon .like i said its only about matter of time buddy .
