A few terrorists from among Israeli Jews stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, threw grenades, and blindly shooting the worshippers. The Israeli police injured 205 (and counting) Palestinians on the night of Laylat al-Qadr, one of the most critical nights of prayers for Muslims.
Please remember, it is not the Jews or Judaism. It is the terrorists we need get punished for violating the sanctity of the religious place. It goes against the policies of the United States.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holy Mosque for Muslims.
We appeal to President Joe Biden to take decisive steps against the Israeli government for these violations and the illegal eviction of Palestinians from Jerusalem.
The president had experienced the slap on his face (expression) when he visited Israel as vice president and asked Netanyahu to stop the settlements. What did Netanyahu do? He ordered more permits to build. It was daylight robbery grabbing the lands from the Palestinians and building settlements. Now that he is the president, he has got to set things right. Since we support Israel in aid, we need to tie it to bring sanity.
I see the sinister scheming by Netanyahu. Modi may have said to him, “Look, you grabbed the Palestinian Lands, and we did the same with Kashmir, we destroyed the Babri Mosque and building Ram Temple on it, and you can do the same with Al-Aqsa and build the temple on it – no one will do a thing about it.” The United States must take immediate action.
I urge my fellow Muslims to hold their anger and do what the Prophet did, pray for the things to get better. Please remember most Jews are against this barbaric act. Many of us have started conversations with our Jewish friends to find a solution. We hope to appeal to the president and ask him to stop the aggression against Al-Aqsa mosque and stop the eviction of the Palestinians.
It is time to slap Netanyahu, bring some sanity to Israelis and the Palestinians, and make Israel obey the international laws and respect the Palestinians’ human rights before it gets challenging to handle.
More to come in a day or two.
Building cohesive societies is our focus, a community where every human feels secure about his/her faith, race, ethnicity, or culture.
