Several prominent Muslim scholars have issued a rare religious decree or “fatwa”, calling on all Muslims and Muslim-majority countries to wage “jihad” against Israel after 17 months of devastating war against Palestinians residing in the besieged enclave.
Ali al-Qaradaghi, the secretary general of the International Union Of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), an organisation previously led by Yusuf al-Qaradawi, called on all Muslim countries on Friday “to intervene immediately militarily, economically and politically to stop this genocide and comprehensive destruction, in accordance with their mandate”.
“The failure of the Arab and Islamic governments to support Gaza while it is being destroyed is considered by Islamic law to be a major crime against our oppressed brothers in Gaza,” he said in the decree comprising some 15 points.
Qaradaghi is one of the region’s most respected religious authorities and his decrees carry significant weight among the world’s 1.7bn Sunni Muslims.
I’m sure Western News will report on this in a completely fair, unbiased, and reasonable way, of course.

Muslim scholars are calling on fellow Muslims to fight back against genocide.
The problem is that they are scary words like “futwa” and “jihad” and, in the West, this language is seen as uncivilized and barbaric.
Orientalism, in other words.

Right, but whether or not it’s disputed outside of Lemmy doesn’t change the fact that it’s a genocide. The only people who don’t think it’s a genocide are those in favor of the genocide and the genuinely uninformed/propagandized.

The unbiased take is that it’s a genocide
So in your opinion, calling this genocide is biased.
Not sure what your translation says, fatwa or not doesn’t really matter or do shit for the Palestinians.
But I do know MEE is a UK based garbage source.
Finally
120 years too late
What do you mean 120 years. Israel is less than 80 years old.
They starting colonizing in the 19th century dawg.
The military industrial complex is counting on it
Meanwhile every Muslim country government bar Yemen: Nah, I don’t really feel like it
It’s very surprising, but it’s due to larger forces at play.
The larger forces at play:
Lol I was thinking the whole western world accepting all Israeli transgressions against international law, and rewarding her with political shielding, vetos, and their own citizens tax money… And double standards.
No where in the world is it acceptable to use a military against unarmed civilians with sustained force. But Israel gets her pass… Why?
