Injustice, Double Standards, & Moral Responsibility: Palestine's Story - Maulana Syed Muhammad Rizvi

- The Golden Rule is shared across religions, including the Prophet’s saying: “Love for the people what you love for yourself.” - The issue is racism and greed, not ignorance, as seen in conflicts like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Israel’s long-standing occupation of Palestine. - Israel, backed by the West, violates international laws but is still seen as a democracy. - High civilian casualties in Gaza have sparked global protests and exposed Western governmental racism. - Despite Biden's claims to limit regional conflict, the U.S. continues to send military aid to Israel, totaling $22.7 billion. - Netanyahu repeatedly undermines Biden, yet U.S. policy seems shaped by Israel. - The UK is considering sanctions on Israeli ministers for inflammatory comments, reflecting global public pressure. - Imām Ḥasan al-‘Askari’s letter advises on taqwā, ṣalāt, zakāt, and practicing good character, along with social responsibilities like enjoining good and avoiding indecency. - Emphasis is placed on the importance of night prayers and following these teachings.
