Israel Could Sustain Such A Destructive War Only Because Of Their
Continuous Political And Military Support. They Give The Most Advanced Arms And
Ammunition To Commit These War Crimes. They Call Such Genocidal Massacres As
The Right Of Israel’s Self Defence.

Voting For the
Supporters of Israel Is a Crime
A genocidal Israeli
war against the Palestinians has already caused massive numbers of deaths and
destruction in Gaza and in the occupied West Bank. More than 37 thousand people
were already killed; and more than 20 thousands disappeared under the rubbles
of the destroyed homes, hospitals, schools and shops. More than 70 thousands
are injured; and thousands of them are maimed for the entire life. Because of
the Western support, Israel still continues to commit the genocide. Millions of
Muslims living in the Western countries have a crucial role to play. Staying
silent or aloof is not an option. Such silence is a crime. Every man and woman
of morality must fight the war against the Israeli war criminals and their
supporters. Election gives an opportunity to show anger against these
criminals.
All the main parties in the Western countries except
Ireland, Spain and Norway are supporters of Israel. Therefore election in the
West doesn’t give any chance of real victory; but it gives opportunities to
play a moral role and advance the case further.
Israel could sustain such a destructive war only because of
their continuous political and military support. They give the most advanced
arms and ammunition to commit these war crimes. They call such genocidal
massacres as the right of Israel’s self defence. But they do not recognize such
rights for the Palestinians. Vote for these supporters of Israel is the vote
for the war criminals. It is indeed a complicity in genocide. Can a person with
an iota of humanity and morality support such genocidal criminals?
Those who are standing as the candidates in the forthcoming
UK parliamentary election from the Labour and the Conservative Parties are not
innocent. They are aligned with Israel’s genocidal intent. In the USA, neither
the Democrats nor the Republicans are innocent either. They have already shown
their complicity in the genocide by standing on the side of the genocidal
Israel. A man who has a heart to feel the pain and agonies of the victims in
Gaza can never be complicit in the crime by voting for the supporters of
Israel.
Ballots Can Work As
Weapons
In the forthcoming
parliamentary election in the UK and France and the presidential election in
the USA, the major parties that support the genocidal Israeli war will need
votes to stay in power.
In democratic countries, ballots work as powerful weapons.
It has a powerful voice. People can change the government policies by casting
votes against the war criminals. For that, the ballots need to be used
strategically.
Those who lived in the West cannot directly help the victims
of Israeli war crimes in Palestine. They can’t fight the war for them in Gaza.
But they can fight an intellectual and political battle to show their deep
empathy for these helpless victims. At least they can stand against the Israeli
war criminals. An election presents opportunities to show love for the helpless
victims and anger against the war criminals. A ballot against the supporters of
Israel does that job.
Voting Can Be a Good
Deed or An Ugly Crime
Voting can be a great
good deed to please Allah SWT -if it becomes a tool to defeat or punish the
genocidal war criminals. On the other hand, it can be a ugly crime if it brings
to the power the war criminals and their supporters. Supporting a killer regime
is never an innocent deed; it is indeed the complicity in killing because of
the wicked intent and the support for the criminals. Most people will enter
into hellfire not for killing, raping or torturing anyone, but for supporting
the criminals. Pharaoh wasn’t a solo criminal; his supporters were also the partners
in the same crime. So they will meet the same fate in the hereafter.
A vote is indeed an expression of a person’s own belief and
intention. Election comes as a trial for every believer. It shows where a man
stands in the ongoing war. Is he or she standing with the Israeli war criminals
or with the innocent victims of Palestine? The All-seeing Almighty Allah SWT is
watching everyone. Those who support the Israeli war criminals and those stand
for the victims of the work crimes -all of them are under His radar. Allah SWT
never gives chances to anyone to hide his or her true colour; this forthcoming
election will fully expose that.
