Press Statement from Hizb ut Tahrir / Indonesia
Attack of the Jewish entity on Gaza - Palestine
(Translated)

The Jewish state has returned again to attack Gaza in Palestine. As of Thursday, July 10, 2014 the Jews raided Gaza more than 90 times with its fighter jets and artillery, and the number of victims is still on the rise. The number of victims has reached 90 martyrs so far and more than 600 have been wounded, mostly women and children. The number of victims will increase if the Jewish state did not stop its aggression. So far the Islamic world did not show any effective attempt to stop this aggression, and the only thing it did was denouncement and condemnation and then sending food supplies, medicine and doctors. This is not an easy thing to do; as the arrival of these aids can be banned at any time by the Jews as they did during previous assaults.

Despite this attack, an alarming wonder and extreme shame came from Mahmoud Abbas' stance, President of the Palestinian Authority, where he referred the matter to the Jewish entity, rather than showing harshness with them. In a conference in Tel Aviv he said: "I, as the President of Palestine, am committed to the idea of a ​​two-state solution, and to maintain the relationship and peace with our neighbor Israel. This urged me to respond to the invitation of Pope Francis and President Shimon Peres to call on together for the sake of peace. We also know that you, the people of Israel, want peace as much as we want."

The Jews' injustice on the people of Palestine is obvious, and this intensified from time to time by taking advantage of the weakness of the Palestinian Authority and the Arab states. It's an attempt to silence their people and maintain the relationship with the Zionists with the help of America to maintain regional stability.

In regards to this issue, Hizb Ut Tahrir issued a statement condemning the attack of the Jewish entity on Gaza and the cooperation of the United States and other Western countries on this injustice. Hizb ut Tahrir has organized demonstrations in Jakarta and elsewhere in Indonesia, and its speeches highlighted the following:

1. The rulers of the Islamic countries should take real action to stop the oppression of the Jewish entity, by sending their armies to Gaza.  If each of them sent 500 troops, then at least 25,000 troops will join, from 50 Islamic countries - including Indonesia - which is affiliated with the Organization of the Islamic Conference. This method is the only way to safeguard the people of Palestine and stopping the Jewish entity's attacks on them.

2. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono should initiate and play an important role in sending the Muslim armies to Gaza as soon as possible. As president of the largest Muslim country, Susilo's role will be instrumental in moving the other Muslim countries to take their essential role in saving the people of Gaza, noted that the liberation of Palestine from the hands of the Jews will only be achieved by mobilizing armies and expelling the Zionists from the blessed land of Palestine and Al Aqsa Al Muqaddasa and return them back to the Muslims..

3. Silence or just condemnation and denouncement do not mean anything except that these rulers have allowed the commitment of massacres against the people of Gaza, and at the same time aided the Jewish entity on their injustice with the people of Palestine. There is no doubt that this is an outrageous insult to the Islamic nation in general and the people of Gaza in specific.

4. The members of the Islamic Ummah should act to stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza in every way. They have to work very hard for the application of the Sharia law and the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate". It is the Khilafah "Caliphate" which will reunite 1.6 billion Muslims, and will protect them in every country, including Palestine with full realization. It is the Khilafah "Caliphate" which will stop the injustice of the Jews, and it will not be repeated, such as what happened today, but this Holy Land will return from the hands of the oppressive Jews to their rightful owners. Inshaa'Allah.
