For the past seven decades, the long-standing wounds of the Muslim Ummah, the problem of Kashmir and Palestine, have been scratched with brutality. Silence, complacency, arrogance, shamelessness, no practical protest, no shouting, no expression of solidarity, the matter is only limited to statements. After the massacre of Muslims in Gaza or Kashmir?
For the first time in the world, the ordinary citizens are expressing their heartfelt feelings by coming to the streets, but will this protest prove to be effective or not? Just yesterday, the hypocritical statement of US President Joe Biden made the whole truth clear that “Arab states are ready to recognize Israel and I am working with all other countries including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Qatar”. In the guise of this doomsday, instead of stopping the Israeli atrocities, there are talks of accepting it. The similarity between the Muslims in both Gaza and Kashmir is their only crime is that they are constantly crying for their rights. The third generation of young people is still a pain for the 6 lakh occupying Indian forces, who have kept the sleep of Modi’s cruel soldiers, but it is a different thing that under a conspiracy, there is a complete ban on the publication of the crimes of Indian beasts in Kashmir. But the criminal silence of our rulers is worse than the worst Jews and Hindus. Even today in sad Palestine, small children are raising their voices for their rights in front of the armed cruel Israeli beasts in the memory of their martyrs. Crying and protesting for the martyrs has also become a crime.
If you read the history of Beit al-Maqdis, you will know that this city was wiped out twice, Beit Al-Maqdis was made a battlefield 52 times and it has been occupied 44 times, but every time the Palestinian Muslims have been the victors who are the real owners of this land. . The surprising thing is, when will the Israelis understand this fact and when will they read the inscription on the wall? In Kashmir and Palestine, it is regularly seen that America and its allies in the West have given Hindus and Jews an open license to massacre Muslims, and in the eyes of the beasts of these two countries, there is no shame left for humanity. In order to sprinkle salt on the wounds of Muslims, the United States proposed May 14 to change its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, because on the same day, May 14, 1948, the evil dagger of Israel was stabbed on the land of Palestine. In order to provoke the Muslims at the global level, another great injustice was done by Israel to the land of Palestine by bulldozing a blessed cemetery of Muslims, “Al-Rahmah” adjacent to Bait-ul-Maqdis, where many Respectable companions of Prophet (PBUH) were buried. An amusement park was built there, but it is a sign of the indifference of the Muslim ruler that not even a wrinkle of shame came on his forehead.
In the Middle East War of 1947, Israel occupied the Palestinian East Jerusalem by force and coercion, and now calls Jerusalem its eternal and undivided capital, but the zealous Muslims of Gaza tied their heads in protest despite the siege. Martyred and injured more than 3 thousand people, it seems that the zealous Muslims of Gaza sacrificed their lives to testify before Allah and now Gaza has made a history that for the last six months, Israel has been fighting for the release of its hostages. Admitting his failure and defeat, he is pleading with these Arab neighbours.
Remember that Jerusalem has been conquered and conquered many times, its population has been forced into exile many times and countless wars have been fought in its streets in which rivers of blood have flowed. It is the only city in the world that is considered holy by all three Jews, Christians, and Muslims. This is the place from where the universe was created and this is where Prophet Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son. Christians believe that Jesus was crucified here and this is where his holiest church is located. According to the belief of Muslims, the Prophet of Islam visited this place before he ascended. He led all the prophets in the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the city. This is the reason why Muslims and Christians have been fighting each other for the possession of this city for a thousand years.
The Muslims first defeated the Byzantines in 638 during the reign of Hazrat Umar, the second caliph. As a result, in 1099, the joint army of the people, princes and kings succeeded in liberating Jerusalem. This was the first crusade. However, most of the soldiers soon returned to their homeland and finally Sultan Salah al-Din Ayyubi succeeded in liberating the city after 90 years. Once again Europe Restlessness spread and four more crusades were fought in quick succession, but they failed to drive the Muslims out of Jerusalem. However, in 1229, the Mamluk ruler al-Kamal surrendered Jerusalem to Frederick II without a fight, but only 15 years later, the Khwarazmiya recaptured the city, after which it remained under Muslim control for the next 673 years.
From 1517 to 1917, this city was a part of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman sultans built a wall around the city, built roads, and established a postal system in order to strengthen the management and control of the city, while a railway line was laid here in 1892. The Israeli poet Yehud Amehai wrote that “Jerusalem It is a coastal city on the shores of eternity. It is a strange thing that this sea has often been turbulent.” This can be inferred from this brief timeline of Jerusalem.
Five thousand BC: According to archaeologists, there was a human population in Jerusalem even seven thousand years ago. Thus, it is one of the oldest cities in the world.

691 AD: The Umayyad ruler Abdul Malik had the Dome of Darak built.
1099 AD: Christian crusaders captured the city.
1187 AD: Saladin Ayyubi defeated the crusaders and sacked the cities.
1229: Frederick II captures Jerusalem without a fight.
1244 A.D.: The Muslims were captured again.
1517 AD: Sultan Salim I added Jerusalem to the Ottoman Empire, which remained a part of the Ottoman Empire for the next four hundred years.
1917: British General Allen B defeated the Ottomans and entered the city.
1947: The United Nations divided the city into Palestinian and Jewish parts.
1948: Israel declared independence, the city was divided between Israel and Jordan.
1967: As a result of the Arab War, both parts were occupied by Israel.
According to the British historian, the British General Sergeant Allen B was so concerned about the sanctity of Jerusalem that when he defeated the Ottoman forces and entered the city through Bab al-Khalil, instead of riding a horse or a carriage, he entered the city. preferred to walk, but where did the sanctity of this holy city go when the heads of thousands of people were beheaded for it? The Holy Places were recaptured. Newspapers all over the Western world celebrated this victory. The American newspaper New York Herald made a headline: Great Britain has liberated Jerusalem after 673 years of rule, and today there is a wave of great joy in the Christian world.
After the capture of General Allen B., the city was included in the British Empire for three decades and during this time Jews from all over the world were settled here. At the end of 1947. At the end of 1947, the United Nations approved the division of this city into two parts, under which not only Palestine was divided into two parts, but Jerusalem was also divided into two parts, of which the eastern part was handed over to the Palestinians and the western part to the Jews. The following year, Israel declared independence. This was unacceptable for the Arab countries. They attacked together, but due to the wrong war strategy, they were defeated. After that, for the next two decades, the eastern part of Jerusalem remained under the power of Jordan, but in the 1967 war, Israel It was also captured. The international community still considers this occupation illegal. The Israeli parliament has declared Jerusalem as its capital since 1950, but other countries have established their embassies in Tel Aviv instead of Jerusalem in respect of the United Nations resolution, but US President Donald Trump broke this tradition and gave Jerusalem to Israel. It became the first country to recognize the capital of Trump declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel exactly 100 years after General Allen B. defeated the Ottomans, despite warnings from countries around the world that the announcement could spark a new wave of violence in the region. French President Emmanuel Macron told Trump he was “concerned” by the plan to unilaterally recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. McEwan said any decision on the city’s disputed status should be “within the scope of negotiations between Israel and Palestine.”
The British Foreign Secretary at the time, Boris Johnson, said that he was deeply saddened by the loss of human lives in Gaza and that Britain did not agree with the decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem and that he believed that the US was making the “wrong move at the wrong time”. He said, “We understand that some people are inciting violence, but the other side should show restraint in the use of weapons.” Earlier, many Arab and Muslim countries have expressed similar concerns. The fact is that Palestinians strongly oppose President Trump’s decisions, but due to internal divisions and politics, the effects of Palestinian opposition are negligible.
Since the death of Yasir Arafat in 2004, the Palestinian nation has been divided, this division has provided an opportunity for outsiders to deal with the Palestinians under their own agenda. Under the leadership of Yasir Arafat, the role of the Palestinians was weak, but they stood up to Israel. Not surrendering, what Yasir Arafat called “Palestinian sovereignty of decision-making”. It was his independent behaviour that made him a leader. Today, Arafat’s successor, PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas, the new Hamas leaders Yahya Shinwar and Ismail Haniyeh, and most importantly Fatah’s former security chief Muhammad Dahlan, have all become estranged. To say that there is no enmity between the Hamas leadership and Dahlan would be wrong. The tension between the two was at its peak in 2007, which resulted in a brief war.
According to the United Nations, Gaza consists of 141/Square Mile area, which is home to 18 million refugees of various ethnicities, but after the recent destruction, it will not be habitable for years. Whoever governs Gaza will also have to deal with this threat. . Hamas and the PLO have been engaged in unsuccessful attempts to reach a compromise for three decades. The last attempt in this regard was made in October 2017 under the supervision of Egypt. There has been no practical action in these negotiations and half-hearted efforts have been made, but the parties have failed to agree on a common program. However, according to some people, it is a great success for Hamas to accept the principles made by the United Nations, Europe, Russia and the United States. These principles were created after the electoral victory of Hamas in 2006. They were withdrawn from Gaza in 2007. After leaving, Muhammad Dahlan was ignored by the majority of Abbas and al-Fatah, Muhammad Dahlan was in charge of security in Gaza, he was forced to leave Gaza by Hamas. Hamas gave everyone in Gaza the right to bear arms, while Mohammed Dahlan lost the ability to organize his supporters in Gaza.
Dahlan’s presence in Ramallah reminds Mahmoud Abbas of the loss of Gaza, and it also shows a strong desire for change among Fatah’s young fighters. Muhammad Dahlan demonstrated great ability as a security adviser to the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Mohammed bin Zayed, and as a businessman. Muhammad Dahlan, who started life in the Khan Yunis refugee camp, also held talks with George W. Bush at the White House. In the last decade, Dahlan played an active role in the highest political and commercial organizations of the Arabs and regained his status, due to his regained prominence, al-Fatah and Mahmoud Abbas distanced themselves from Dahlan.
Since Hamas took control of Gaza, poverty has been the fate of the region. Al-Fatah has been unable to end poverty in Gaza and stop the Israeli occupation and Jewish settlement in the West Bank and Jerusalem, causing Al-Fatah to become increasingly limited and ineffective. After gaining a majority in the 2006 elections, Hamas worked tirelessly to manage and improve the situation, but attempts to thwart it from all sides continued. Despite all his failures, Dahlan is fully capable of creating a political space in Gaza and the future of Palestine. fall down
Like Dahlan, Yahya Shinwar also trained in a different organization and rose to a higher position, both grew up in poverty in Khan Yunis refugee camp, studied at the Islamic University of Gaza, and between the two became leaders of the student union at the university. There was also a competition to do so, after which one of Fatah and the other of Hamas fighters, both created by Gaza and both products of American policies. Palestinian nationalism died after the first movement of the Intifada and the Palestinian struggle against Israel was recognized as legitimate. Yahya has spent 17 years in an Israeli prison, there he also learned to speak Hebrew, he liked Dahlan in the prison. Especially in situations where there is no possibility of a workable agreement between Hamas and Mahmoud Abbas.
Addressing a meeting of Fatah’s Revolutionary Council on March 5, Mahmoud Abbas reportedly complained, “We don’t know if Hamas wants reconciliation or if Iran wants reconciliation. We don’t know if Hamas wants to be part of the Palestinian Authority or to be headed by it.” wants, can’t say whether Hamas wants reconciliation or just wants to use us as their ATM”. The inflexible response of Mahmoud Abbas has created the possibility of a difficult task of reconciliation between Hamas and Dahlan. Whether there is an agreement with Mahmoud Abbas or not, Hamas aims to somehow end the siege without compromising on its security and monopoly, while Dahlan wants to take advantage of relations with Cairo and the Gulf countries to regain control of Gaza, thereby gaining a leading role in the future of Palestine.
According to Ismail Haniyeh’s former adviser Ahmed Yusuf, “Dahlan is part of this nation, and he is fighting hard to remain in Palestinian politics. He may decide to form a new party, the leadership in the West Bank and It would be in Hamas’s interest to cooperate with Dahlan without spoiling matters with Fatah, even though Dahlan is opposed to Hamas and is far from Fatah in the current situation. It is moving towards establishing a relationship’. The damage to the future of the Palestinians due to these conflicts is the most important factor, which Israel has taken the most advantage of, and the inconsistency of the Palestinian leaders has led to the situation today, where everyone is removed from the destination. Is. It seems that a mutual confrontation will surely force them to sit at a table while the hostile forces through their agents are engaged in full force to increase the tests of the Palestinian nation and force them to bend their heads to the American agenda. No, because the sacrifices of the people of Gaza will not go in vain. Blood is blood if it flows it freezes.
