In their genocidal war on Gaza, the zionists have targeted Palestinian children. The aim is to wipe out even the next generation of Palestinians.

Notwithstanding the vile anti-Palestinian propaganda, International Law and UN resolutions authorize people under occupation to resist their occupiers by any means necessary. This is precisely what the Palestinians are doing.

The ulama are supposed to be successors to the Prophet. They can only perform this role if they follow the teachings of the Qur’an and the Prophetic Sunnah and Seerah. If they follow taghuti powers for short-term worldly gains, they betray the trust of the masses.
