Dr. Nawaf Takruri, President of the Palestinian Union of Scholars, has issued a powerful call for unity and decisive action from the global Muslim community to stand with Palestine amid ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.
In a heartfelt message to religious scholars, political leaders, and citizens of the ummah, Dr. Takruri urges solidarity with the Palestinian people, advocating for bold steps beyond statements of support.
Dr. Takruri calls for “Scholars of the Flood”—figures of moral courage who not only speak out but actively join the struggle for justice. According to Dr. Takruri, this title is earned by engaging in the defense of Gaza, standing in unity with Palestinians, and pushing leaders to take tangible actions. He emphasizes that true solidarity is measured by self-sacrifice, dedication to the cause, and a commitment to challenge injustice, even at personal risk. In his view, Muslim leaders should amplify Palestine's calls for justice and work tirelessly to advocate for a united response against oppression.
In particular, he appeals to Turkish leaders and scholars, urging them to pressure President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to take meaningful action in support of Gaza and Jerusalem. Takruri calls on Turkish citizens to take to the streets, remain there, and insist on a united front. He argues that a steadfast stance from Turkey could serve as a powerful example for the global Muslim community, sending a clear message of unity and commitment to Palestinian rights.
Dr. Takruri extends his call to scholars and leaders across Pakistan, Indonesia, Jordan, and other Muslim-majority countries, urging them to pressure their governments to act without delay. He describes the devastation in Gaza as nothing less than genocide and insists that the time for diplomacy is over. Instead, he advocates for a stance that holds those responsible accountable, pushing leaders to directly confront these injustices.
He also calls on the international community, urging people everywhere to protest and disrupt their routines to draw attention to the human rights abuses in Gaza. For Takruri, global action is necessary to prevent further atrocities and to convey that the suffering of Palestinians is an issue of universal concern.
Addressing citizens in countries aligned with Israeli interests, he calls for resistance against such affiliations and asks these populations to raise awareness about Palestinian suffering. He appeals to their sense of justice, asking them to oppose policies that contribute to the oppression of Palestinians and to advocate for policies that uphold human rights and dignity.
Dr. Takruri’s call is a passionate appeal for action and solidarity, a reminder that standing with Palestine is both a moral duty and a commitment to justice. His message captures the urgency of this moment for the ummah to choose a path of unified resistance and principled support for Palestinians facing unprecedented aggression. (ILKHA)
