and weaker states. Israeli strategists viewed Iraq as their biggest strategic challenge from an Arab state. This is why
Iraq was outlined as the centerpiece to the balkanization of the Middle East and the Arab World. In Iraq, on the basis
of the concepts of the Yinon Plan, Israeli strategists have called for the division of Iraq into a Kurdish state and two
Arab states, one for Shiite Muslims and the other for Sunni Muslims. The first step towards establishing this was a
war between Iraq and Iran, which the Yinon Plan discusses.
The Atlantic, in 2008, and the U.S. military’s Armed Forces Journal, in 2006, both published widely circulated maps
that closely followed the outline of the Yinon Plan. Aside from a divided Iraq, which the Biden Plan also calls for, the
Yinon Plan calls for a divided Lebanon, Egypt, and Syria. The partitioning of Iran, Turkey, Somalia, and Pakistan also
all fall into line with these views. The Yinon Plan also calls for dissolution in North Africa and forecasts it as starting
from Egypt and then spilling over into Sudan, Libya, and the rest of the region.
The plan operates on two essential premises. To survive, Israel must 1) become an imperial regional power, and 2)
must affect the division of the whole area into small states by the dissolution of all existing Arab states. The ethnic
cleansing of Arabs from Palestine, including Gaza and West Bank, are considered to be important markers for the
start of the operational phase of the Yinon Pan. Small here will depend on the ethnic or sectarian composition of
each state. Consequently, the Zionist hope is that sectarian-based states become Israel’s satellites and, ironically, its
source of moral legitimation… This is not a new idea, nor does it surface for the first time in Zionist strategic thinking.
Indeed, fragmenting all Arab states into smaller units has been a recurrent theme.
Considering all this, it is the prerogative of the Palestinian Muslims to expel the Zionists from the Holy Land, and
retaliate fully to reclaim their territory. The Palestinians acted on 7 October 2023. Israel has been in a state of war
against the people of Palestine, whom it now blatantly calls “the enemy,” for the past 75 years. The “enemy”
Netanyahu is referring to are the Palestinian people, who have been enduring 75 years of violent occupation,
bombings, mass arrests and imprisonment, torture, assassinations, and exile at the hands of the Israeli State, just
because they would refuse to submit to the illegal occupation of their land and the blatant violation of their
fundamental human rights by the Israeli occupation forces. More deceiving is the claim that this was a “surprise”
attack by the Palestinians. But looking back at the shameful history of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people in
the past seven decades, and its recent offending actions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque, no rational mind would be
“surprised” by the Palestinian reaction. Lawmakers in the US and Israel have called for the mass slaughter of
Palestinians in Gaza in response to the Hamas attack on southern Israel that has killed at least 1,500 Israelis. So far,
Israeli retaliation has martyred 2,500 Palestinians, a number that’s growing amid Israel’s bombardment of Gaza and
a ground offensive in the offing. Revital “Tally” Gotliv, a member of Israel’s Knesset and the Likud party, called for
Israel to use its nuclear weapons, which Israel has never formally acknowledged exist. “Jericho Missile! Jericho
Missile! Strategic alert. Before considering the introduction of forces. Doomsday weapon! This is my opinion. May
God preserve all our strength,” Gotliv wrote on X on Monday.
In another post, she urged for Israel to use “Doomsday weapons” and “everything in its arsenal.” The following day,
she continued to call for a massive strike on Gaza, which is home to over two million people, about half of whom are
children. “Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country’s dignity, strength and security!”
she wrote. “It’s time to kiss doomsday. Shooting powerful missiles without limit. Not flattening a neighborhood.
Crushing and flattening Gaza… without mercy! without mercy!”
Over in the US, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) also called for mass slaughter in Gaza. CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Rubio:
“Is there a way for Israel to destroy Hamas without causing massive casualties against the innocent people of Gaza?
There are more than two million people in the Gaza Strip and roughly a million of them are children.”
Rubio replied: “Yeah, I don’t think there’s any way Israel can be expected to co-exist or find some diplomatic off-
ramp with these savages. I mean, these are people, as you’ve been reporting and others have seen, that deliberately
targeted teenage girls, women, children, the elderly … just horrifying things, and I don’t think we know the full extent
of it yet. I mean, there’s more to come in the days and weeks ahead. You can’t exist. They have to be eradicated.”
In an apparent reference to civilian casualties, Rubio continued, “And you pointed out the difficult challenge. This is
going to be incredibly painful. This is going to be incredibly difficult. And it’s going to be horrifying, the price to pay.
But even more horrifying is allowing a group like this to continue to be a viable group operating from a space that
they control. I wish, you know, in an ideal world, people will tell you that there is, but I just don’t — I don’t see any
other option. It’s a terrible option, but it remains the only option.”
If the Zionist war criminals believe they can terrorize the Palestinian people into submission, they must be the most
thoughtless people in the world. What did the Zionists achieve in their previous wars on Gaza? They destroyed much
of Gaza’s infrastructure and killed thousands of innocent Palestinians. Did that force the Palestinians to surrender?
Absolutely not. In Israel’s latest murderous bombing campaign, at least 1095 civilians in Gaza have been killed,
according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. At least 60% are women and children. This number will certainly rise as
the Zionists continue to bomb the besieged enclave. Electricity, water, fuel and food have also been cut off to the
2.2 million inhabitants. This constitutes a war crime, according the UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine. Israel is a
terrorist state. It is backed by such other terrorists as Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak and a host of other war criminals. The
Palestinian people refuse to disappear. They will resist and fight until they have overthrown the yoke of Zionist
colonialism and achieved their freedom.
In the wake of the recent hostilities in Palestine, there’s a discernible shift in media narratives.
The objective of this media pivot is clear: to shape global sentiments against Muslims, potentially leveraging
international support. Given that global attention has, over the last few years, (continued on page 3)
Page 3 PERSPECTIVE

been divided between the pandemic and geopolitical events such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, if this narrative can
be used to reignite concerns about radical Islam, they’ll take that as a win. It’s troubling to witness some groups
taking advantage of heart-wrenching footage to try and sway the uninformed.
What we see is a barrage of propaganda against Palestine and Palestinian Muslims, which includes the spreading of
demonstrably false and slanderous accusations. This false propaganda against Palestinians is accompanied by the
complete ignoring and whitewashing of the endless inhuman treatment and brutalization of Palestinians perpetrated
by Zionist Israelis, with slogans of “Israel has a right to defend itself.” Propaganda plays an important role in every
conflict. The current Zionist-imperialist war on the Palestinians, however, has fallen to new lows. Following Hamas’
daring operation launched on October 7 that demolished the myth of Zionist invincibility, a massive propaganda war
has been launched. It started with allegations that Hamas had beheaded Israeli civilians. As if this lie was not bad
enough, it was escalated to beheading children. Then it was alleged that Hamas fighters had raped Israeli women.
What is the truth behind these scandalous allegations and where did they originate from?
Rape allegations were first reported by Jonah Goldberg of the Los Angeles Times on October 9. The same day, the
LA Times issued a retraction saying the rape allegations were NOT verified. That, however, did not deter US president
Joe Biden from repeating them the next day when he spoke about the Israeli attack on Gaza. Biden said on October
10: “There are moments in this life when pure unadulterated evil is unleashed in this world.” He went on: “stomach-
turning reports of babies being killed” and “women raped, assaulted, paraded as trophies.” The most boring speaker,
Biden’s lying rhetoric got the better of him. When the president of the United States can utter such bald-faced lies
in front of television cameras, what can one expect from his minions and puppets?
On October 10, NBC correspondent in Israel said he could not independently verify the rape or beheading allegations.
More lies were to follow, this time from across the pond. British Security Minister Tom Tugendhat went even further,
giving full rein to his sexually fertile imagination. He told the presenter of Britain’s Sky News on October 11 that
“people in Israel had been raped to death.” The presenter did not challenge the minister of making false allegations.
Did she not know that not only had Hamas rejected this allegation and other similar vile propaganda but that the LA
Times had also retracted this claim? So, the question that must be asked is: why do the Zionists and their western
allies peddle such lies? The simple answer is that demonization of Hamas is essential to justify Israeli war crimes
against Gaza’s civilian population. The Zionists are using US-supplied F-15 and F-16 planes to bomb the tiny Gaza
Strip and destroy its infrastructure. It is also using phosphorous bombs that are banned under international law,
against the Palestinian people. It has frequently bombed Gaza since 2008 after the Zionist invaders were driven out
of the tiny enclave in 2005. Israel attacked Gaza in 2008-2009, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022 and again in 2023.
We must do everything we can to counteract these lies and the blatantly misleading narrative by highlighting the
profound injustices committed by certain regimes, including Israel, against Muslims. We must engage with influential
Islamophobic accounts that might be perpetuating bias and expose their blatant lies and false propaganda. Those of
the 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide who have access to smartphones must stand in solidarity with their Palestinian
brothers and sisters and pray for their steadfast resilience.
The recent move by Hamas against Israel has once again spotlighted the ceaseless struggle in the Middle East. While
the world watches, many are missing the point. This isn’t just another flare-up in a long-standing conflict; it’s a
revelation of character, a test of allegiances, and perhaps a harbinger of apocalyptic times as foretold in Islamic
eschatology.
Let’s get one thing straight: Palestinians have every right to resist an illegal occupation that has lasted for 75 years.
The recent actions by Hamas are not acts of terrorism; they are acts of resistance. The resilience and unyielding spirit
of the Palestinian people stand as a beacon of defiance against an apartheid state. This isn’t just a struggle for land;
it’s a battle for faith, dignity, identity, and the right to exist. Al-Aqsa isn’t merely a religious site; it’s a symbol of Islam
and Allah (SWT). Any attack on it is an attack on the very soul of the Muslim Ummah.
The Zionist attempts to desecrate this holy land have not gone unnoticed, and they will not go unanswered. The
significance of Al-Aqsa transcends political boundaries; it’s a religious imperative for Muslims to protect it. The
escalating tensions around Al-Aqsa and the audacity of the Zionist regime should not be viewed in isolation. They
align with Islamic prophecies concerning the end times.
While we can’t claim definitively that we are living in the end times, the unfolding events make it increasingly difficult
to dismiss such a notion. This isn’t just a regional conflict; it’s a litmus test for the soul of the Muslim Ummah. It’s
high time we stop sitting on the fence and take a stand. The Palestinian struggle is our struggle, and the protection
of Al-Aqsa is our duty. May Allah (SWT) aid the Muslims of Palestine, grant them steadfastness, and make them
victorious over the Zionist occupiers. Ameen.
In these trying times, let us not forget the power of du’a, the weapon of the believer. Let us pray for the safety,
dignity, and freedom of our oppressed brothers and sisters in Palestine. May Allah (SWT) hasten the day when Al-
Aqsa is free from occupation, and the land of Palestine returns to its rightful owners.
The struggle is far from over, but let it be known: the resilience of the Palestinian people and the sanctity of Al-Aqsa
will not be compromised. The unfolding events may well be shaping the landscape for the end times, and in this
there is no room for bystanders. It’s time to pick a side, and may that side be the one that stands for justice, truth,
and the fulfillment of divine prophecy.

Press Releases issued by Tanzeem-e-Islami


13 October 2023
The disbelievers are openly challenging the Muslims as one nation.
Lahore (PR): This was said by the Ameer of Tanzeem-e-Islami, Shujauddin Shaikh, in a statement. The Ameer said
that the oppressed and caged Muslims in the open-air prison of Gaza have taken retaliatory action to expel illegal
Zionists from the Holy Land and reclaim their territory. The Palestinian Muslims have the right to retaliate against
the occupation of Zionists, who have been perpetrating unspeakable cruelty against them for 75 years. The situation
on the ground is that Israel is savagely pounding with bombs the indefensible and exposed, yet brimming with faith,
Palestinians. All Zionist citizens of Israel are trained in military combat and part of the occupation Israeli army as
military reservists. They have been deployed on the border with Gaza and are part of the war of against the Muslims.
Israel has blocked the access to food, water, medicine, electricity, gas and all other basic amenities of life for the two
million inhabitants of Gaza. It is a shame that Egypt, a Muslim country, is working hand in glove with Israel to ensure
the siege of Gaza. The western leaders and media are supporting Israel bluntly and candidly. Any voice raised against
the brutalities of Israel against Palestinians is being silenced. However, the Muslim leaders are unwilling to even
condemn Israel, let alone help the Palestinians. The truth is that the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Holy Land of Palestine
is the third most sacred site for Muslims after Makkah and Madinah. Therefore, it is the collective responsibility of
Muslims worldwide to defend the Palestinians and the land of Palestine. Had the Muslims been united as ‘one-
nation’ today, the enemies of Islam would never have dared to harm any Muslim anywhere in the world. The need
of the hour is for the Muslim leaders to do more than mere lip-service and take diplomatic, economic and military
action in support of the Palestinians.
08 October 2023
Palestinian Muslims have the right to retaliate against the occupation of Zionists.
Lahore (PR): This was said by the Ameer of Tanzeem-e-Islami, Shujauddin Shaikh, in a statement. The Ameer said
that illegitimate Zionist Israel has illegally occupied Palestinian land for the past 75 years. Zionists from all over the
world were brought in to settle after demolishing Palestinian homes. The agenda to level the Al-Aqsa Mosque and
establish a Greater Israel is being pushed relentlessly. Attacks targeting the Al-Aqsa Mosque, West Bank, Jenin,
Jerusalem and Gaza are frequent. Every Israeli citizen is a trained soldier who persists in a state of war against
Palestinian Muslims. Considering all this, it is the prerogative of the Palestinian Muslims to expel illegal Zionists from
the Holy Land, and retaliate fully to reclaim their territory. He said that it is a test for all Muslim countries at this
crucial time that whether they support the truth or surrender to Israel. Whether they rush to the aid of the
Palestinian Muslims and strengthen their footing, or become an obstacle in their path. He said that Israel, which has
been a vehement aggressor for the past 75 years, is being portrayed as a victim in western media, and the genocide
of Palestinian Muslims has been accelerated. Muslim countries are being unprecedentedly pressured into
recognizing the illegal Zionist state and assisting it. Addressing the government of Pakistan, as well as leaderships of
other Muslim countries, he said that at this crucial junction, everybody should mobilize for not only complete moral,
diplomatic and financial support of Muslims in Palestine, but also enter the fray for military assistance. It must not
be forgotten that those who support the illegal Zionist state will inevitably face a scathing judgment in history. The
Ameer concluded by making Dua for the triumph of the Muslims of Palestine.
06 October 2023
The issue of Afghan refugees must be resolved on the principle of Islamic brotherhood.
Lahore (PR): This was said by the Ameer of Tanzeem-e-Islami, Shujauddin Shaikh, in a statement. The Ameer said
that when the Soviet Union attacked Afghanistan almost 40 years ago, Pakistan gave sanctuary to hundreds of
thousands of refugees, based on the Islamic principles of Islamic brotherhood and fraternity. Today, the third
generation of these Afghan refugees, who have been living in Pakistan for an extended period, is dwelling in the
Islamic Republic of Pakistan. There is no doubt that countless Afghans have entered Pakistan illegally since then,
even though illegal entry and stay in the country is a monumental failure on the part of our administrative machinery.
In principle, we must now filter out unwanted entities, and initiate the process of registering the rest. He said that
we must not unilaterally and without compassion decide that all Afghans must immediately leave the country.
Instead, we must make a decision after discussing the issue with Afghanistan, and taking them in confidence through
constructive dialogue, so that on the one hand we may address our concerns, while on the other, Afghanistan may
be adequately prepared to handle such an influx. He reminded that we blame Europe for not accommodating Muslim
refugees, thus, if Pakistan expels all Afghans without hesitation, it would be a huge blow to the concept of a unified
Muslim Ummah, appeasing none but the enemies of Islam. We must approach this issue in a manner which ensures
the protection of Pakistan’s interests, and safeguards the Afghans from facing problems. The Ameer said that the
government of Pakistan should make Islamic brotherhood and justice the foundation for resolving this situation, and
refrain from adopting a method which would jeopardize our relations with Afghanistan, and provide the enemies of
Islam with an opportunity to benefit. May Allah (SWT) strengthen the Muslim Ummah. Ameen!
