There is utter devastation and international outcry after an Israeli airstrike on a church in Gaza City, which is reported to have killed and injured scores of sheltering civilians.
Condemned as a "grave war crime" by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem, the blast occurred shortly after a recent attack on a hospital that killed at least 500 Palestinians.

The vehement backlash against Karim Benzema for his comments on the suffering of civilians in Gaza starkly contradicts the principles of free speech and reveals blatant hypocrisy and intolerance.
Benzema posted on X: “All our prayers for the inhabitants of Gaza who are once again victims of these unjust bombings which spare no women or children.”
The calls by French senator Valerie Boyer to revoke his citizenship and Ballon D'Or are blatantly authoritarian and contradict France's own claimed democratic ideals, particularly when President Emmanuel Macron has stated, "I will always defend in my country the freedom to speak."
Moreover, the unfounded attempts by French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin to associate him with the Muslim Brotherhood are sheer fear-mongering and an overt act of Islamophobia. Such baseless claims dangerously perpetuate divisive rhetoric.
The irresponsible responses from public figures, especially those in positions of authority, are disgraceful. The use of inflammatory language, false accusations, and personal attacks highlight the increasing Islamophobic tendencies within French authorities.
Let us take a stand against this level of intolerance by raising awareness, engaging in intelligent discourse, and challenging these divisive narratives.

Boycotting a tyrannical regime can be an effective tool for several reasons:
1. Economic Impact: Boycotts can severely impact the economy of the targeted regime, reducing its financial resources. This, in turn, may limit the regime's ability to fund its oppressive activities or maintain its grip on power.
2. International Awareness: Boycotts often attract international media attention, thereby raising awareness about the injustices perpetrated by the regime. This can increase pressure from the global community, possibly leading to diplomatic sanctions or interventions.
3. Moral Stand: A boycott sends a strong moral message, not just to the regime, but to the world at large. It's a way of demonstrating that the regime's actions are unacceptable and that people are willing to sacrifice convenience or to stand against tyranny.
4. Solidarity: Boycotts often serve to unite people around a common cause. This sense of solidarity can be empowering for those directly affected by the regime's actions, offering emotional and psychological support.
5. Influence Other Stakeholders: Boycotts can also put pressure on other countries and international companies that may be indirectly supporting the tyrannical regime. The reputational risk involved can force them to reconsider their alliances.
The boycott should start with a complete avoidance of all fruit and vegetables that are often wrongly labelled as “Produce in Israel” when they come from stolen Palestinian land.
In terms of which brands to boycott, FOA (Friends of Al-Aqsa) have made it very simple and easy, with a focus on 3 companies that are reportedly some of the worst offenders:
* Coca-Cola
* Puma
* HP
The BDS movement has expanded the list to include the following companies:
* Siemens
* AXA
* SodaStream
* Ahava
* Sabra

“The thought of my innocent mother having to spend her life in prison brings unbearable pain. China, show your mercy and release my innocent mother.”
Uyghur Professor Rahile Dawut has been sentenced to life in prison by China on baseless charges.
With the Muslim world’s attention firmly fixed on Israel’s war on Gaza, attacks and oppression by other powers against the Ummah should never be ignored.
Read about one of the most recent examples of repression in China’s long-running war against the Uyghur Muslims of East Turkestan. Along with Israel, China is another ally of numerous Muslim governments.

Israel has spent MORE THAN $7 MILLION since it declared war on Gaza on YouTube ads to sway public opinion.
The turnout of hundreds of thousands of protestors, alongside other forms of activism such as Muslims challenging mainstream media narratives, are actions defeating Israel in its propoganda war.

In this article, Dr. Abdulrahman El-Nounu draws parallels between the tribulations faced by the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions during the Quraysh boycott and the ongoing struggles of the people in Gaza. He recalls how the Companions braved through years of siege with barely leaves to eat, offering a narrative of resilience and Īmān amidst adversity, encouraging us to reflect on our role in current events.
A compelling read for anyone keen to understand the indomitable strength of belief in Allah that we are today witnessing in the people of Gaza.

At a time when the world is engrossed in the Israeli war on Gaza, Shaykh Haitham al-Haddad provides a much-needed analysis on the state of affairs.
This conflict has far-reaching implications, and is increasingly perceived in the Muslim world as a struggle between Western powers and Muslims.
The West's selective application of justice has only served to fuel this perception.

Alarming events have unfolded in the Palestinian village of Qusra in the West Bank.
A funeral convoy transporting the bodies of four Palestinians, killed in recent acts of violence by radical Israeli settlers, was ambushed.
Among the casualties were the family of Abed Wadi, a resident of Qusra. The settlers have intensified their invasions, often supported by the Israeli military. The West Bank is currently experiencing its deadliest week for Palestinians since 2005, according to the UN.
Abed Wadi received an ominous message on the day of the funeral for four of his fellow villagers.
The message showed a group of masked men posing with weapons and issuing a threat in both Hebrew and Arabic. "To all the rats in the sewers of Qusra village, we are waiting for you and we will not mourn you," it read.
The funeral was intended for three Palestinians who had been killed when Israeli settlers invaded their village and a fourth who was killed by Israeli soldiers. The procession was met with an ambush by extremist Israeli settlers, resulting in the death of Wadi's brother and nephew.
The surge in settler violence and the stealing of Palestinian land comes as the world's attention is largely on Gaza, leading to a lack of international scrutiny on the plight of West Bank Palestinians.
Illegal Israeli settlers, sometimes in military uniforms or supported by the Israeli military, have escalated their violent atrocities. According to B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights organisation, there has been a concerted effort by barbaric settlers to unlawfully seize land in the West Bank, capitalising on the distraction caused by the current conflict.
This violent subjugation starkly contradicts Israel's assertion that its acts of aggression are aimed solely at combating Hamas.
Despite the absence of a Hamas stronghold in the West Bank, the indigenous Palestinian community there has been enduring escalating levels of violence, suffering, and theft of homes and land for many years.

This concept, often translated as "injustice" or "oppression", is a fundamental aspect of our moral framework. We maintain a strong emphasis on justice, fairness, and the avoidance and removal of Dhulm in all aspects of life.
Considering the recent injustices and brutalities that the apartheid Israeli state is proudly carrying out on innocent civilians, upholding justice, and raising awareness, has become a vital duty for us all.
Here are some practical steps we can take to as part of our role in the removal of injustice:
Be Educated on the Israeli-Palestinian Issue: We all have a responsibility of refuting erroneous claims and relentlessly conveying the reality of the terrorist state of Israel to the world. This can only be achieved by educating ourselves first.
Share and Challenge: Use your social media platforms to share the truth and respectfully challenge all forms of disinformation. This includes sharing our work and similar content with others!
Seek Updates From well-informed Islamic Platforms: As we continue to circulate all Palestine-related information and statistics, it's imperative we establish the authenticity of all reports beforehand. The bulk of mainstream western media platforms are shamelessly spreading falsified pro-Israel data and information, and this must be countered with truth.

In a moment of candid reflection on his programme "Uncensored," Piers Morgan — commonly known for his divisive and contentious opinions — brought attention to a critical aspect of the Israeli-Gaza conflict.
Responding to activist Nerdeen Kiswani, Morgan conceded, 'The displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in 1948 is the root cause of all of this.'
By doing so, Morgan acknowledged the core grievance that was the catalyst for subsequent generations of occupation, subjugation, and violence. The 1948 Nakba, or 'catastrophe' in Arabic — involved the systematic uprooting of Palestinian communities, thereby establishing the State of Israel.
More than seven decades on, the scars of this traumatic oppression have not faded. Rather, they have been exacerbated by recurrent acts of severe violence, illicit expansions of settlements, and punishing blockades.
Morgan's forthright admission underscores the entrenched nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, steeped as it is in historical injustices that call for redress. His comment implies that any viable resolution must be willing to confront these inconvenient historical realities head-on.
This straightforward observation contradicts the Israeli narrative, which often attributes the origins of the conflict solely to actions taken by Hamas. Morgan highlights that the roots of the conflict go much deeper, back to historical injustices that must be acknowledged for any meaningful resolution to occur.

Today, 2nd November, marks 106 years to the day since the UK Foreign Secretary wrote to Lord Rothschild and confirmed Britain’s support for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.
It was a conspiracy that became known as the Balfour Declaration.
Over the past 75 years, ‘incremental genocide’ has been forced upon Palestinians who have had to pay the price for Europe’s treatment of Jews.
This colonialist-created problem has imposed a narrative which, until recently, enjoyed political and mainstream media sponsorship around the world.
That support is now shifting because of the real narrative and facts entering the mainstream discourse.
Read this article by Sayf Bukhara to find out the history of the occupation and how to speak about the issue with confidence.
