Gaza's Betrayal is a Disgrace on Your Foreheads, Soldiers of the Land of the Nile... and Above it is God's Question on the Day of Judgment
Every day, a child from Gaza dies of starvation, or an old man breathes his last without medicine, or a woman closes her eyes for the last time on unbearable pain from thirst or hunger. And every hour, the sky sheds a tear, the stone cries out, and the earth curses those who betrayed them. This is Gaza... Gaza, which is besieged not only by borders and cannons, but by a fence of betrayal from army leaders and rulers of treason, and from the silent ones of their nation.
What is happening today in Gaza is not just a human tragedy, but a fully-fledged crime, committed in full view of a world that claims civilization, and armies on which the nation has spent its money, and fed them from its hunger, to be its shield and sword, but they do not move, as if what is happening in Gaza does not concern them, or as if the people of Gaza are not from their nation!
O Armies of the Nation: Has the blood not yet boiled in your veins?! O you who hang ranks and medals on your chests, remember that this world, with all its positions, salaries, and ranks, will disappear in a moment; the moment of death that cannot be delayed, the moment of standing before God Almighty, barefoot and naked, on a day when neither wealth nor status will benefit, nor will ranks or medals benefit you, nor will any law or secular constitution intercede for you, but you will be asked about Gaza, and about its people who were killed, starved, and tortured while you were able to support them and did not!
That day will come, and every soldier in the armies of Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, and Pakistan will be asked; why did you betray your brothers in Gaza? Why did you let their children die of hunger? Why did you let the old men perish of thirst? Did you not have weapons? Did you not know the way? Did you not have a remnant of faith?!
What is happening in Gaza is the real day of examination; the examination of armies, the examination of creed, the examination of manhood, and the examination of faith. And there is nothing more sacred than the moment when a soldier raises his weapon in support of his brothers, and nothing greater than the moment when the barrier of humiliation and blind obedience to tyrants is broken. This moment is the one that writes glory, and is recorded in the register of the immortals, not those moments when the salute is given to the enemies of the nation in military protocols!
O Scholars, Preachers, Thinkers, and Sincere Youth: Do not think that you are not responsible, for silence is a crime, and silence on the betrayal of Gaza is participation in the crime. Write, preach, denounce, link the nation to its cause, and the armies to their true role. Remind the nation that its sons are being slaughtered while it is silent. Remind the armies that they have a chance to survive, a final chance to shed humiliation, break the chains, and march to Jihad.
O Soldiers of the Nation in general, and Soldiers of the Land of the Nile in particular: Your duty is to declare a comprehensive war on the usurping entity until the liberation of all of Palestine, and we know for sure that this is what every loyalist in the army of the Land of the Nile wishes for, and the only thing preventing its achievement is the agent regime that has made the army a guard for the usurping entity, implementing its goals, so your duty is to uproot the agent regime from its roots with all its tools and executors and hand over the rule of the country to a conscious political leadership that carries the project of Islam and is able to implement it immediately, and among you is Hizb ut-Tahrir, a conscious political leadership that is loyal and from the same stock as the nation, aware of its issues, carrying its concerns, and seeking with you to attain the pleasure of God Almighty by implementing His law and carrying it under the righteous Caliphate according to the method of Prophethood.
﴿And what is [the matter] with you that you do not fight in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, "Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper"?﴾
