Israel-Hamas Crisis is Threat to Humanity: Indian Muslims
The escalating tensions between Israel and Palestine, following the deadliest attack in years by Hamas militants, are sparking a range of reactions from around the globe.
Tensions between Israel and Palestine have reached alarming heights as Hamas fighters launched a staggering number of at least 5,000 rockets on Saturday morning. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a decisive "state of war".
Some countries have expressed
solidarity with Israel while others stood with Palestine.
Countries supporting Israel include the US, UK, India, Germany, Ukraine, France, Canada, Switzerland and Georgia, while countries standing by Palestine include Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Qatar, Kuwait and Syria. Russia, Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have called for a de-escalation of the conflict and a return to the negotiating table.
Although the Indian government has expressed solidarity with Israel,
several Muslim groups in the country have voiced their support for Palestine, saying that "the current wave of violence is the result of the Israeli aggression unleashed by the right-wing (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu government against the Palestinians, which has claimed the lives of hundreds of people, including children".
On Sunday evening, a rally in support of Palestine was held by a group of students from the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) in Uttar Pradesh.
However, several prominent people from the Muslim community have said that 'Indian Muslims have never supported the escalation of violence in the Middle East' and that 'humanity is above religion and as terrorism has never helped anyone, it won't help Palestine'.
Muslim scholar Yusuf Ansari, speaking to Sputnik India, refuted the notion of a division within the community regarding the conflict, asserting the robust bond between India and Palestine.
"The former president of Palestine, Yasser Arafat, was a state guest of India on several occasions. The Indian government has supported the Palestinian cause and maintained that Palestinians should get their fundamental rights. In fact, India was one of the first countries to recognise Palestine in 1988," Ansari said.
He continued by saying that there is nothing wrong with the existence of rallies or processions in support of Palestine, as numerous people worldwide have shown their support for the Palestinian cause.
Ansari believes that neither the attack by Hamas militants nor Israel's retaliation can be justified.
Meanwhile, the national convenor of the Muslim Rashtriya Manch, a group affiliated to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Mohammad Afzal, told Sputnik India: "There is a difference of opinion in a democracy, but I think the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is bad for humanity and as human beings we should all condemn it."
Afzal stated that authorities of both the
countries should return to the negotiation table and resolve the issue.
He went so far as to condemn the United Nations (UN), arguing that it should be dissolved due to its inability to address the conflicts between the two nations and the lack of attention paid to it.
Furthermore, his belief is that the United States is actively instigating conflicts on a global scale, driven by its vested interest in promoting weapon sales worldwide.
