Anti-Zionism is NOT Anti-Semitism. Just hear what this Jewish Rabbi says about those responsible for the ongoing genocide.

Families of prisoners of war still being held in Gaza have taken to the streets of Tel Aviv to call on Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government to accept the latest ceasefire deal. Israel has refused to accept the deal, saying it did not address its core demands.
Now, the IDF says it is conducting “a limited operation” in Rafah to kill Palestinian fighters and dismantle infrastructure used by Hamas.
In a statement, the Palestinian resistance organisation said, "If his aggression continues, he will only suffer more defeats and disgrace."
"The occupation army’s storming of the Rafah crossing, and its barbaric and criminal bombing, at the insistence of Netanyahu and his extremist warlords, is an open attempt to sabotage all the efforts of the mediators to achieve an agreement to stop the aggression against our people, and at the same time it is a desperate attempt to create an image of an illusion of victory to save face."
Many British Muslims are aware of the illustrious history of the Ottomans, but few may know about a special, and recent, connection to the dynasty found right here in the UK.

Palestine has surely taught us the real meaning of freedom, especially as it remains free despite being oppressed.
And there’s nothing more infuriating to an oppressor than witnessing their oppressed embody and express liberation and independence from them.

Many parents, students, and school leaders were understandably shocked to learn about the recent High Court ruling which upheld Michaela Community School’s controversial ritual prayer ban.

If esteemed surgeons and medical professionals are confirming that the Zionist state is purposefully targeting civilians, would this not suggest that it is clearly on the wrong side of history?

The recent seizure of the Rafah Border Crossing by Zionist forces has sparked a renewed humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with aid deliveries halted and civilian movement restricted.
Notably, it is the one and only gateway between Gaza and Egypt.

Universities across the United States have become battlegrounds for pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators, resulting in hundreds of arrests and violent clashes.
In one example at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), what began as a peaceful rally for a ceasefire in Gaza, quickly descended into disorder when counter demonstrators breached security barriers, leading to verbal and physical attacks.

The world has watched for over 200 days, as a live genocide has taken place right in front of us.
Abu Ubaydah, Spokesman for the Qassam Brigades, mentioned in a series of messages that Israel has not been able to achieve any of its goals in Gaza.
In fact, the only thing they have achieved is the massacre of civilians and civilian infrastructure.
https://www.islam21c.com/news/gaza-after-200-days-assault/
The three-way meeting held between the Turkish and Egyptian Foreign Ministers, Turkish President Erdoğan, and Palestine's Ismail Haniyeh, is a step in the right direction.
However, more Muslim countries should be taking on the responsibility to support an end to 200+ days of genocidal destruction at the hands of the apartheid state.
https://www.islam21c.com/news/erdogan-stresses-palestinian-unity/
Instead of blaming the Gazans for causing death by applying the biological, moral, and societal imperative of armed resistance to genocide, blame them for desiring to live dignified lives. Blame them for refusing to lick the boots of their oppressors.
Blame them for wanting to live like lions. The lion, although arguably the most ferocious animal, has no predator! While the innocuous and docile sheep enjoys being the prey to almost everything else.
If you choose to lower your head before a genocidal entity, prepare to lose it. Gaza has chosen to resist.

My message to Muslim parents is, we must no longer believe we are second-class citizens, no matter how much sections of British society seek to portray you as a fifth column, seeking to infiltrate public institutions, conspiring against “British values”.
The mother and daughter who brought the case against Michaela School's discriminatory prayer ban showed resilience and bravery. They ought to be commended and supported.
Far too many parents withdraw from difficult challenges for want of an easy life. This Muslim mother didn’t. May Allah (subḥānahu wa ta’āla) reward her for taking a stand.

Israel is employing starvation and aid restrictions as weapons of war, precipitating famine across the entire population of Gaza.
This deliberate push to starve an entire population constitutes a war crime of the highest order, akin to the most brutal ethnic cleansing in modern history.

Читать полностью…The reality of the Zionist state’s narrative has been questioned, with footage emerging of the Iranian retaliation.
Israeli air defence officials claim they were able to shoot down “99 per cent” of the 320 Iranian drones, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles — with critical help from the United States, Britain, and Jordan.
However, Tehran has dismissed Israel’s claim of resisting “99 per cent”, by stating that “all hypersonic missiles used against Israel hit targets”.
The clip shows an Iranian missile not losing track, despite being hit by an Israeli projectile.
