Yes, you are in Gaza, and Gaza is being destroyed!

News:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a speech at the opening of the week of the Prophet's Birthday. Erdogan devoted most of his speech to Gaza and directed scathing criticism at the Jewish Prime Minister Netanyahu. He said, "Wherever a Muslim is found in the world, our hearts and minds are there," and added, "That is why we are now in Gaza. We cannot stand idly by in the face of this tyrant, the infidel called Netanyahu, in Palestine now" (NTV, 3/9/2025).
Comment:
While the occupation and genocide in Gaza, which has been ongoing for 23 months, has reached its peak with the use of starvation as a weapon that destroys the people, and the experimenting of new methods of massacres called "robotic bombs," the policies of exploitation and hypocrisy pursued by the rulers of the Islamic countries - who are facing the anger of their peoples for abandoning Gaza - have reached their peak. These rulers, who have lost not only their Islamic identity but even their sense of humanity, continue their public and secret relations with the Jewish entity without interruption, while on the other hand, they go so far as to claim to help Gaza! The audacity has reached a point where regimes such as Egypt, which closes the Rafah crossing and sentences Gaza to starvation and death, and Jordan, which ranks first in supplying the Jewish army with fruits and vegetables, boast of helping Gaza! And here is the Turkish President Erdogan, hinting, under the applause of those who call themselves scholars and teachers, that Turkey is helping Gaza secretly by saying: "We are in Gaza now." They neither fear God nor are ashamed of the Ummah!
The Palestinian journalist Muhammad Abu Taqiya, who could not bear even to turn this great atrocity into political exploitation, said to Erdogan: "Enough, for God's sake!". And he wrote the following lines: "Yes, you are in Gaza! And that is why, as we see in the videos, the Mujahideen in Gaza are fighting with the latest and most effective weapons! Yes, you are in Gaza... and that is why the free people of the world have to reach Gaza from tens of thousands of kilometers away, from the West, by sea; while Gaza is only 11 hours away from your seas!
No city in Gaza has been destroyed live on air before your eyes! Because you are there. In Gaza, 19,000 children have not been brutally killed live on air! Because you are in Gaza, no one could have done this! In Gaza, 10,000 women have not been mercilessly exterminated live on air! Never, as long as you are there, no one can do such a thing!
The shortage of medical supplies and medicines in Gaza is not 80%! You deliver everything! In Gaza, 48,000 children have not been orphaned! Before the eyes of the world! Gaza hospitals are performing the most dangerous operations and providing health services to the fullest! With your presence, of course, all this is happening!
Hundreds of children and adults in Gaza have not died of starvation! They cannot die! Hundreds of people have not sacrificed their lives for a bite to eat! Because you are Gazans!
Didn't you say that "Al-Aqsa Mosque is a red line for us"? That is why the occupation forces, Zionist groups, and ministers have not been able to storm Al-Aqsa in large numbers in recent days!
Now, please, give up these statements that have nothing to do with even your consciences, let alone Gaza! Give it up so that what remains of your respect and love does not disappear! Saying: "I couldn't, I exaggerated when I said that. Come on, hold my hand, let's wipe away this shame together," will not harm you. Enough, for God's sake!".
To these lines, let us add the following:
Yes, you are in Gaza... with your oil, with your steel, with your commercial ships, and with countless known and unknown products, you are in Gaza!
You are in Gaza by signing the New York Declaration, which defined October 7, 2023, as a "terrorist attack," and demanded that the Mujahideen lay down their arms and surrender, and envisioned handing over the administration of Gaza to the traitor Mahmoud Abbas's team in exchange for a fictitious Palestinian state without an army or sovereignty!
You are in Gaza with your role as a mediator in Azerbaijan, aimed at normalizing the Jewish entity's relations with the Syrian administration, thus preventing the jihad of Syrian Muslims against the Jews!
Yes, you are in Gaza... and Gaza is being destroyed while you are in it!
And the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remains about transgressors: "Verily, from what people have learned from the words of the prophets is: If you feel no shame, do as you wish." (Narrated by Al-Bukhari)
