The roots of the Israeli state are steeped in blood, betrayal, and terrorism. Long before the formal declaration of its independence in 1948, Zionist militias—primarily the Irgun, Haganah, and Lehi—waged a brutal campaign of violence not only against the indigenous Palestinian population but also against British authorities who administered the region under the Mandate system. These Zionist groups targeted civilians, bombed marketplaces, and even assassinated UN officials. The most notorious attack—the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946—killed 91 people, including British soldiers, diplomats, and civilians. Such actions, by today’s standards, would undoubtedly be classified as acts of terrorism.
These groups, led by individuals like Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir—who ironically later became prime ministers of Israel—committed atrocities with the explicit goal of forcibly establishing a Zionist state in Palestine. The massacre at Deir Yassin in April 1948, where over 100 Palestinian villagers, including women and children, were slaughtered, marked the beginning of a violent ethnic cleansing campaign. By the time the state of Israel was declared, over 700,000 Palestinians had been expelled from their homes in what is known today as the Nakba—the Catastrophe.
From Occupation to Annihilation: Gaza as a Testimony of Genocide
Fast forward to the present day, and the legacy of brutality continues—most viciously in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli occupation has evolved into a systematic policy of extermination. Gaza, home to over 2.3 million Palestinians, has been subjected to recurring military onslaughts, devastating blockades, and an apartheid regime that chokes every aspect of life. The most recent military operations have resulted in catastrophic destruction—schools, hospitals, refugee camps, and even UN-run shelters have not been spared.
Israel has deliberately bombed food warehouses, bakeries, and water desalination plants, engineering a man-made famine in Gaza. Children, the most vulnerable, are dying not just from bombs but from starvation and disease. As of mid-2025, over 37,000 people have been killed in Gaza, including more than 15,000 children. This is no longer a military conflict—it is a genocide unfolding in real time.
The Israeli leadership, backed by far-right extremists, openly promotes the idea of transferring or eliminating the Palestinian population. The language used by Israeli ministers and politicians reflects not political discourse but genocidal intent. All the while, the world watches in silence, paralyzed by diplomatic inertia or constrained by geopolitical interests.
Expanding the War: Evil Designs Beyond Palestine
Israel’s ambitions, however, do not end with Gaza or the West Bank. Tel Aviv’s regional policy, shaped by militarism and expansionism, has increasingly threatened neighboring Muslim-majority countries:
- Lebanon remains under constant threat from Israeli incursions and airstrikes, primarily aimed at Hezbollah but often impacting civilians and infrastructure.
- Syria has suffered hundreds of Israeli air raids under the guise of targeting civilians & military, further destabilizing an already war-torn nation.
- Jordan, despite a peace treaty, faces continuous pressure on custodianship over Al-Aqsa Mosque, and fears annexation plans in the Jordan Valley.
- Egypt, while maintaining formal ties with Israel, contends with covert Israeli intelligence operations and border provocations in Sinai.
- Iran is falsely portrayed as Israel’s existential threat, with Israeli leaders repeatedly advocating for military strikes, violating international norms.
- Turkey has been targeted with cyber espionage and disinformation campaigns, especially for its vocal stance on Palestinian rights.
- Yemen has experienced Israeli airspace violations, and some reports suggest involvement in military coordination with anti-Houthi coalitions.
- Pakistan, although geographically distant, is routinely demonized in Israeli media and policy circles due to its nuclear capability and vocal support for Palestine.
Israel’s aggressive policies have widened the conflict zone. Its provocations are calculated attempts to drag the entire region into a larger war—one that may engulf the Middle East and beyond, threatening global peace and stability.
A Terrorist State Ignoring International Norms
Israel has defied over 100 United Nations resolutions. It continues to build illegal settlements, enforce collective punishment, and carry out extrajudicial killings. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has initiated investigations, but Israeli officials refuse to cooperate and are shielded by powerful allies. The United Nations Security Council (UNSC), often paralyzed by American vetoes, has failed to act decisively.
Even humanitarian organizations are targeted. In Gaza, aid workers and journalists have been killed. Convoys carrying food and medicine have been attacked. A nation that disregards international law, defies global consensus, and massacres civilians is, by definition, a rogue state. Israel, today, fits that description more than any other country.
The Global Awakening of the Muslim Ummah
But in the face of unimaginable brutality, a profound transformation is underway. The global Muslim Ummah, long divided by political rivalries, sectarianism, and external manipulation, is beginning to awaken. The realization is growing that unity is no longer a choice—it is a necessity for survival and dignity.
There are around 2 billion Muslims in the world—nearly one in every four human beings. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), with 57 member states, constitutes the second-largest intergovernmental body after the UN. Muslim countries hold some of the richest reserves of natural resources—oil, gas, rare earth minerals, and more. Strategically located across Africa, Asia, and Europe, Muslims have a significant role in global trade and security.
Moreover, Muslims contribute massively to science, education, commerce, and innovation. Muslim populations in non-Muslim countries—from Europe to North America—are vibrant communities with increasing political influence. Yet, the Muslim world has long lacked a unified, coordinated strategy to defend its interests and uplift its people.
Islamophobia and the Call for Dignity
One of the most painful realities today is the global rise in Islamophobia. Muslims are vilified, surveilled, excluded, and even killed for their faith. Hijab bans, mosque attacks, anti-Muslim laws, and media bias have become routine. The war on terror narrative, manipulated for decades, has contributed to the dehumanization of Muslims worldwide.
The common thread running through these injustices is the absence of collective Muslim response. The painful truth is that division has weakened the Ummah. However, this phase of humiliation may well be the catalyst for a new chapter of solidarity and strength.
The Way Forward: Reclaiming the Future
The Muslim world today stands at a historical crossroads. The atrocities in Palestine have shaken the conscience of billions and exposed the hypocrisy of global politics. But more importantly, they have reignited a deep sense of purpose among Muslims. Moving forward, the Ummah must pursue the following goals:
- Unity through Common Causes: Regardless of sectarian or political divides, Muslim nations must prioritize unity on issues of justice, sovereignty, and human rights—especially for Palestine.
- Strategic Cooperation: Establish joint economic, technological, and defense ventures. Pooling resources will increase self-reliance and collective bargaining power.
- Diplomatic Assertiveness: The OIC must evolve from a symbolic forum into an effective diplomatic bloc that can influence global decisions, including at the UN, IMF, and WTO.
- Support for Palestine: Financial, humanitarian, and political support for Gaza and the West Bank must be increased. Muslim countries should demand international accountability for Israeli war crimes.
- Countering Islamophobia: Muslim states must collaborate with global civil society to combat Islamophobia through education, advocacy, and legal mechanisms.
- Invest in Muslim Youth: The future lies in education, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Empowering Muslim youth is key to reclaiming the Ummah’s rightful place in global leadership.
- Media and Narrative Building: Establish global media platforms to counter disinformation, tell Muslim stories, and promote peace, dignity, and justice.
A Time for Moral Courage
The ongoing genocide in Gaza is not just a Palestinian tragedy—it is a defining moment for humanity. Israel’s impunity has pushed the limits of international tolerance. Its brutalities threaten to drag the region into a wider war. If the world remains silent, it will be complicit in the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of our time.
But amid the ashes of Gaza, hope rises. The Muslim Ummah is awakening. The cries of the oppressed are echoing in every corner of the globe. This is not a time for despair—it is a time for moral courage, solidarity, and visionary leadership. The future is not written yet. Muslims, united and empowered, can and must shape it—towards peace, justice, and human dignity for all.
以色列国家的根基浸透着鲜血、背叛和恐怖主义。早在1948年正式宣布独立之前,犹太复国主义民兵——主要是伊尔贡、哈加纳和利希——就发动了一场残酷的暴力运动,不仅针对巴勒斯坦土著居民,也针对在托管制度下管理该地区的英国当局。这些犹太复国主义组织以平民为目标,轰炸市场,甚至暗杀联合国官员。最臭名昭著的袭击——1946年在耶路撒冷的大卫王酒店(King David Hotel)发生的爆炸——造成91人死亡,其中包括英国士兵、外交官和平民。按照今天的标准,这种行动无疑将被归类为恐怖主义行为。
这些组织由Menachem Begin和Yitzhak shamir等人领导,他们后来讽刺地成为以色列的总理,犯下了暴行,明确的目标是在巴勒斯坦强行建立一个犹太复国主义国家。1948年4月在代尔亚辛的大屠杀,包括妇女和儿童在内的100多名巴勒斯坦村民被屠杀,标志着一场暴力的种族清洗运动的开始。到以色列宣布建国时,超过70万巴勒斯坦人被驱逐出家园,这就是今天所知的nakba——灾难。
从占领到毁灭:加沙作为种族灭绝的见证
快进到今天,残暴的遗产仍在继续——在加沙地带最为恶毒。以色列的占领已经演变成一项有计划的灭绝政策。加沙是230多万巴勒斯坦人的家园,一直遭受经常性的军事攻击、毁灭性的封锁和扼杀生活各个方面的种族隔离政权。最近的军事行动造成了灾难性的破坏——学校、医院、难民营,甚至联合国开办的避难所也未能幸免。
以色列故意轰炸食品仓库、面包店和海水淡化厂,在加沙制造了一场人为的饥荒。儿童是最脆弱的群体,他们不仅死于炸弹,还死于饥饿和疾病。截至2025年中期,加沙有37,000多人被杀,其中包括15,000多名儿童。这不再是一场军事冲突,而是一场正在发生的种族灭绝。
在极右翼极端分子的支持下,以色列领导层公开推动转移或消灭巴勒斯坦人口的想法。以色列部长和政治家使用的语言反映的不是政治话语,而是种族灭绝意图。与此同时,全世界都在沉默地看着,要么被外交惰性所麻痹,要么被地缘政治利益所束缚。
扩大战争:巴勒斯坦以外的邪恶计划
然而,以色列的野心并不止于加沙或约旦河西岸。特拉维夫的地区政策受到军国主义和扩张主义的影响,日益威胁到邻近的穆斯林占多数的国家:
黎巴嫩仍然受到以色列入侵和空袭的持续威胁,主要针对真主党,但经常影响平民和基础设施。
叙利亚遭受了数百次以色列以平民和军队为目标的空袭,进一步破坏了这个已经饱受战争蹂躏的国家的稳定。
尽管签订了和平条约,约旦在阿克萨清真寺的托管问题上仍面临持续的压力,并担心约旦河谷的吞并计划。
埃及虽然与以色列保持着正式关系,但却与以色列在西奈半岛的秘密情报行动和边境挑衅行为作斗争。
伊朗被错误地描绘成以色列的生存威胁,以色列领导人一再主张军事打击,违反国际准则。
土耳其一直是网络间谍活动和虚假信息运动的目标,特别是因为它在巴勒斯坦权利问题上的立场。
也门经历了以色列侵犯领空的事件,一些报道称,以色列参与了与反胡塞联盟的军事协调。
巴基斯坦虽然地理位置遥远,但由于其核能力和对巴勒斯坦的口头支持,经常被以色列媒体和政策圈妖魔化。
以色列的侵略政策扩大了冲突地区。它的挑衅是经过深思熟虑的,企图将整个地区拖入一场更大的战争——一场可能席卷中东及其他地区的战争,威胁到全球的和平与稳定。
一个无视国际准则的恐怖主义国家
以色列违反了100多项联合国决议。它继续修建非法定居点,实施集体惩罚,并进行法外杀戮。国际刑事法庭(ICC)已经展开调查,但以色列官员拒绝合作,并受到强大盟友的庇护。经常因美国的否决而瘫痪的联合国安理会(UNSC)未能采取果断行动。
甚至人道主义组织也成为攻击目标。在加沙,救援人员和记者被杀害。运送食品和药品的车队遭到袭击。一个无视国际法、无视全球共识、屠杀平民的国家,顾名思义就是一个流氓国家。今天的以色列比其他任何国家都更符合这种描述。
穆斯林民族的全球觉醒
但面对难以想象的暴行,一场深刻的变革正在进行。长期因政治对抗、宗派主义和外部操纵而分裂的全球穆斯林乌玛正开始觉醒。人们越来越认识到,团结不再是一种选择,而是生存和尊严的必要条件。
世界上大约有20亿穆斯林——几乎每四个人中就有一个。伊斯兰合作组织(OIC)拥有57个成员国,是仅次于联合国的第二大政府间机构。穆斯林国家拥有一些最丰富的自然资源储备——石油、天然气、稀土矿产等等。穆斯林地处非洲、亚洲和欧洲的战略要地,在全球贸易和安全方面发挥着重要作用。
此外,穆斯林对科学、教育、商业和创新做出了巨大贡献。从欧洲到北美,非穆斯林国家的穆斯林人口是充满活力的群体,政治影响力日益增强。然而,穆斯林世界长期以来一直缺乏一个统一、协调的战略来捍卫自己的利益,提升自己的人民。
伊斯兰恐惧症和呼吁尊严
当今最痛苦的现实之一是全球伊斯兰恐惧症的上升。穆斯林因为他们的信仰而受到诋毁、监视、排斥,甚至被杀害。头巾禁令、清真寺袭击、反穆斯林法律和媒体偏见已经成为家常便饭。几十年来被操纵的反恐战争叙事,助长了全世界穆斯林的非人化。
这些不公正现象的共同点是穆斯林缺乏集体回应。令人痛苦的事实是,分裂削弱了乌玛。然而,这一屈辱阶段很可能成为团结和力量新篇章的催化剂。
前进之路:重塑未来
今天的穆斯林世界正站在历史的十字路口。巴勒斯坦的暴行动摇了数十亿人的良知,暴露了全球政治的虚伪。但更重要的是,他们重新点燃了穆斯林内心深处的使命感。今后,乌玛必须追求以下目标:
通过共同事业实现团结:无论宗派或政治分歧如何,穆斯林国家必须在正义、主权和人权等问题上优先考虑团结——尤其是巴勒斯坦问题。
战略合作:建立联合经济、技术和国防企业。集中资源将增强自力更生和集体谈判能力。
外交自信:伊斯兰会议组织必须从一个象征性的论坛发展成为一个有效的外交集团,能够影响包括联合国、国际货币基金组织和世界贸易组织在内的全球决策。
对巴勒斯坦的支持:必须增加对加沙和西岸的财政、人道主义和政治支持。穆斯林国家应该要求国际社会对以色列的战争罪行负责。
打击伊斯兰恐惧症:穆斯林国家必须与全球公民社会合作,通过教育、宣传和法律机制打击伊斯兰恐惧症。
投资穆斯林青年:未来在于教育、创新和创业精神。赋予穆斯林青年权力是恢复穆斯林在全球领导中应有地位的关键。
媒体与叙事建设:建立全球媒体平台,反击虚假信息,讲述穆斯林故事,促进和平、尊严与正义。
道德勇气的时刻
正在加沙进行的种族灭绝不仅是巴勒斯坦的悲剧,也是人类的决定性时刻。以色列不受惩罚已经突破了国际社会容忍的极限。它的暴行有可能将该地区拖入一场更广泛的战争。如果世界保持沉默,它将成为我们这个时代最大的人道主义灾难的同谋。
但在加沙的灰烬中,希望升起。穆斯林民族正在觉醒。受压迫者的呼号响彻全球每一个角落。现在不是绝望的时候,而是需要道义勇气、团结和有远见的领导的时候。未来尚未确定。穆斯林团结起来,获得权力,能够而且必须塑造这个世界——朝着人人享有和平、正义和人类尊严的方向发展。
