Muslim Brotherhood ’s Call for Demonstration of Popular Rage, on Friday
In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
In the name of Allah; praise be to Him; and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, his kinsfolk, companions, and followers:
Now to the topic:
The Zionist occupation has gone too far in its unfair aggression against our brothers in Palestine; its crimes have exceeded all limits; and its cruelty have gone beyond definitions of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocides.
Amid all this, the “official” responses, which may contribute to ending the war and stopping the bloodshed, are below the level of pressure and influence on the occupying enemy. Therefore, the popular response must remain escalating, to push governments to take procedures that would prompt the oppressive occupation to stop the war.
The Zionist enemy has persisted in its injustice against Palestinians, partly because the post-war relations of our countries with the occupation have remained as they had ever been before, as cooperative rather than conflictual relations. Israeli embassies in our countries are still open; and our countries’ ambassadors to the Zionist entity are still on the job, as if nothing had happened! Trade, tourism and all forms of normalization still exist as they had been before the war. So why would the Israeli enemy surrender and stop its aggression?! How can it comply to demands for stopping its aggression while none of the pressure cards have been used against it?!
From this standpoint, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) calls on all Arab and Muslim peoples in general, and the Egyptian people in particular, to launch massive demonstrations tomorrow, after the Friday prayers, to demonstrate a massive popular stance in rejection of the weak official positions, and for demanding positive actions.
O peoples of our Muslim nation, if we are not moved by our zeal for Al-Aqsa Mosque, our first qibla; or the bloodshed of Palestinian, then when will we move? Should we wait until Al-Aqsa Mosque is demolished? Or when the enemy fulfils elimination of the resistance to realize its dream (of a state) “from the Nile to the Euphrates”?! Let’s rise up, undertake our duty and support the resistance, our first defence line, given the fact that we are facing an enemy whose ambitions never end.
Let’s rise up in support of the right of the people of Palestine to liberate their land, and work to liberate our sanctities, as letting a Muslim down when his honour is aspersed is something that angers Allah Almighty.
Allah Is the Greatest, and Praise Be to Allah
The Muslim Brotherhood
