Resolusi 1860: Bukti Nyata Pengecutnya Para Penguasa Negeri Islam

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Mereka Tidak Hanya Menghinakan Gaza dengan Tentara Mereka, Justru Gaza Mereka Serahkan kepada Yahudi melalui Resolusi PBB

Pagi hari ini, Resolusi DK PBB No. 1860 tentang serangan biadab terhadap Jalur Gaza telah dikeluarkan. Dalam redaksinya telah digunakan substil politik yang busuk, yang sebelumnya telah digunakan dalam Resolusi PBB No. 242, setelah serangan tahun 1967 M. Pada saat itu dinyatakan, “Harus menarik diri dari tanah…” padahal seharusnya, “Menarik diri dari seluruh tanah.” Tujuannya agar tetap menyisakan ruang untuk negara Yahudi menduduki wilayah yang dikehendakinya!

Begitulah Resolusi ini, yang tidak secara tegas menyatakan, “Harus menarik diri dari Gaza…” sebaliknya hanya menyatakan, “Harus menghentikan pertempuran (gencatan senjata)” yang berujung pada penarikan diri. Tetapi kapan dan bagaimana itu bisa terjadi? Lalu, bagaimana dengan Resolusi yang sengaja masih diliputi kekaburan untuk menghentikan serangan Yahudi, di mana Yahudi tetap tidak akan menghentikan serangan, meski sudah ada sejumlah resolusi yang jauh lebih keras dan tegas?!

Sekalipun sejumlah Resolusi DK PBB tidak pernah bisa menyelesaikan masalah, bahkan sudah sangat banyak resolusi-resolusi seperti ini yang tidak dilaksanakan oleh negara Yahudi… Namun, AS dan sekutunya tetap saja menolak dikeluarkannya resolusi apapun dari DK PBB. Semuanya itu agar bisa memberikan kemudahan yang cukup bagi negara Yahudi untuk menumpahkan darah dalam serangan biadabnya terhadap Gaza, hingga negara Yahudi itu bisa mewujudkan tujuannya.

Karena mengikuti dan membebek kepada AS, para penguasa negeri Muslim itu pun benar-benar patuh pada kemauan AS, dengan senang atau terpaksa, sehingga mereka pun tidak kompak, berselisih satu sama lain, dan tidak ada kata sepakat..

Namun, setelah negara Yahudi menyaksikan perlawanan dahsyat yang harus dihadapi, dan tampak bahwa dengan operasi militernya itu negara Yahudi tidak mampu mewujudkan apa yang ditargetkan, sehingga boleh jadi masalahnya berlarut-larut, sementara pemilihan umum mereka sudah di depan mata, dan mereka pun membutuhkan kondisi “kemenangan”, baik melalui peperangan maupun perdamaian, agar pemilihan umum tersebut bisa berlangsung di sela-sela itu, saat itulah AS aktif sekali mewujudkannya untuk mereka melalui DK PBB, sehingga Condolezza Rice menjadi magnet yang luar biasa dalam bebagai pertemuan dan meeting. Dia pun menggerakkan para penguasa yang menjadi kepanjangan tangannya, sehingga mereka bergegas pergi untuk menemui DK PBB; siang malam mereka bekerja keras dengan penuh semangat.. Mereka itulah yang sebelumnya memandang perlunya membantu Gaza dengan tentara-tentara mereka dengan pandangan bak orang pingsan dari kematian. Padahal andai saja saat itu ada satu atau setengah front pertempuran di sana yang dibuka oleh para penguasa itu, pasti entitas Yahudi itu akan rontok, atau bahkan lenyap tak berbekas..

Melalui resolusi ini, sebenarnya para penguasa (goodfather) itulah yang mewujudkan kepentingan Yahudi yang justru tidak bisa diwujudkan melalui serangan biadab mereka. Resolusi itu akan tetap melanggengkan tentara Israel di Gaza, dan memastikan blokade terhadap Jalur Gaza tetap berlangsung dari sejumlah faktor yang bisa menguatkan dan mempersenjatai mereka. Jangan tertipu dengan penjelasan yang dibungkus dengan indah, tentang dibukanya blokade makanan dari mereka.

Untuk mensosialisasikan resolusi ini, AS sengaja abstain, agar tampak bahwa AS seolah-olah tidak berada di belakang resolusi tersebut, sehingga para penguasa itu pun bisa menunjukkan kemenangan gemilang yang jauh dari pengaruh AS. Mereka sesungguhnya bohong. Setiap orang yang berakal dan mempunyai kesadaran politik pasti tahu, bahwa andai saja AS tidak berada di belakangnya, pasti AS sudah memveto resolusi tersebut.

Wahai seluruh kaum Muslim:

Sungguh tepat sekali apa yang disabdakan oleh manusia jujur dan terpercaya, Nabi saw.:

«إِذَا لَمْ تَسْتَحِ فَاصْنَعْ مَا شِئْتَ»

“Jika Anda sudah tidak mempunyai rasa malu, maka lakukanlah apa saja.” (H.r. Bukhari, Ibn Majah dan Ahmad)

Para penguasa itu melihat Gaza memang harus diluluhlantakkan, di mana darah-darah orang tak bersalah berhak ditumpahkan. Mereka pun tidak menggerakkan tentaranya untuk membantu Gaza. Tidak juga melepaskan satu roket pun dari peluncurnya, bahkan lebih dari itu, justru mereka menghalang-halangi relawan untuk membantu Gaza… Ironisnya, mereka justru bergegas dan berlomba-lomba untuk mengeluarkan sebuah resolusi yang menghalangi Gaza dari akses senjata dan faktor-faktor yang bisa menopang kekuatannya.. Semoga mereka dilaknat oleh Allah; bagaimana mereka sampai bisa berpaling seperti itu?

Siapa pun yang melihat entitas Yahudi, perampas Palestina, dan dia tinggal berdekatan dengan para penguasa itu, pasti tahu persis keberlangsungan eksistensi Yahudi ini benar-benar digadaikan pada keberlangsungan para penguasa itu. Merekalah yang melindunginya, jauh lebih baik daripada melindungi diri mereka sendiri. Bahkan AS dan negara-negara Barat yang lain, yang mendukung entitas ini, tidak akan mempunyai pengaruh apapun, kalau seandainya ada satu saja dari para penguasa itu orang yang waras..

Wahai kaum Muslimin:

Kami telah mengingatkan berkali-kali. Kami ulangi lagi dan kami tambahkan, bahwa siapa saja yang ingin menghancurkan entitas Yahudi dan mengembalikan Palestina secara utuh ke pangkuan negeri Islam, maka dia harus berjuang untuk mewujudkan seorang penguasa yang ikhlas, negara yang benar, yaitu Khilafah Rasyidah. Sebab, seorang imam (pemimpin) itu bagaikan perisai, di mana orang berperang di belakangnya, dan kepadanya mereka berlindung, sebagaimana yang telah disabdakan oleh Nabi saw. Pada saat itulah, negara Yahudi itu tidak akan pernah lagi ada, bahkan negara-negara Kafir penjajah yang jauh lebih kuat dan digdaya ketimbang entitas Yahudi pun akan dihinadinakan.

Allah berfirman:

إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَذِكْرَى لِمَن كَانَ لَهُ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى السَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ

“Sesungguhnya pada yang demikian itu benar-benar terdapat peringatan bagi orang-orang yang mempunyai akal atau yang menggunakan pendengarannya, sedang dia menyaksikannya.” (Q.s. Qaf [50]: 37)

While Bush used bombs,Obama will use 'Smart Power'

As George W Bush leaves office - Barack Obama and his team have been busily preparing to take power in America. Not satisfied with the effectiveness of Bush's murderous blood letting of Muslims, that included the industrialised slaughter of more than a million Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama and his team have been devising more effective ways to tackle Islam and Muslims. The approach taken by Bush in his "war against terror" is considered a failure by the new US administration.

In an address to the US Senate Hilary Clinton the new US Secretary of State said, "We must use what has been called smart power - the full range of tools at our disposal. With smart power, diplomacy will be the vanguard of foreign policy."

In the New York Times it was reported that Hilary Clinton described smart power as, "It means using all the levers of influence - diplomatic, economic, military, legal, political and cultural - to get what you want."

The US will try to repair the damage done to its reputation and the effectiveness of its foreign policy by employing new tactics. Muslims today are aware that the US is a colonialist power and its foreign policy objectives will never change. The British and other colonialist nations before them employed the same change in tactics when military power and killing failed. British foreign Secretary David Milliband said whilst on trip to India that the West "could not kill [their] way out of the problems of insurgency and civil strife" and suggested that the West needs to use more than military means.

This shift in tactics from military colonialism to political, cultural and economic colonialism is nothing new to the US and her colonialist cronies. They still aim to exploit weaker nations for the benefit of their corporations and the capitalists behind them. They have a long history of using agent rulers and corrupting the politics of the Muslim world. Culturally, the West has used the media to carry its viewpoint about life and has exported its ideas to the Muslim world. Economically, even the rich Gulf States are tied to the dollar and the international financial institutions that allow the West to exert its influence over them. The US knows that she can never subdue the Muslim World by military means alone and therefore seeks to use all the means at disposal.

The reason why the West can try to continue to exploit the Muslim Ummah is because the rulers of the Muslim countries allow them to do so. They could quite easily expose the plans of the Kuffar against the Muslims and thwart them. This is regardless of the US using military power or "Smart Power". The rulers in the Muslim lands fail to do their duty.

It is only the leadership of the Khilafah state that will allow the liberation of the lands of the Muslims from military, political, cultural and economic chains imposed upon her by the West and its agents. Indeed the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم told us that the Khaleefah is the shield of the Ummah - a shield that has been removed resulting in the blows being dealt to the Ummah. Whilst these rulers are in place, the West will continue to exploit the Muslims - the terms may change from "shock and awe" to "smart power". One thing that remains constant is the treachery of the rulers of the Muslims.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Sa'id that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: "On the Day of Judgment there will be a flag for every person guilty of treachery. It will be raised in proportion to the extent of his guilt; and there is no guilt of treachery more serious than the one committed by the ruler of men." [Sahih Muslim]

A letter from Gaza

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

My dear sisters and brothers I wanted to take this opportunity to send you a message from the sisters and brothers in Gaza. Please hear our situation and tell everyone that you know and don't know.

When the Zionists attacked us on 27th December 2008, they not only attacked Hamas, they not only attacked the Muslims of Gaza, they attacked Muslims everywhere. They attacked Islam in the hope that they will weaken it and ultimately destroy it and ummah of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم.

And they will never stop here. They want the beloved Al Aqsa, they want the West Bank and believe me when I tell you that they want the whole of the Middle East.

But they will never succeed. They will never remove the light of Allah inshAllah.

Our situation is dire but our iman is strong Alhamdulillah, even though we have no water to speak of, and when we do, it is polluted and diseased. We have no money to buy mineral water. When we find the money those that sell it say that it is too dangerous for them to travel out to get new supplies. We have no gas, and have not had for the last four months. We cook the little food we have on real fires that we have learned to prepare.

Our men have lost all of their jobs. They spend their days at home now. My husband can spend a day just going from place to place just for the basic need of water. He usually returns empty handed. There are no schools, no banks from which we can withdraw our money. Few hospitals are open for our wounded. You are constantly aware that you risk your life when you go out and when you are indoors. They give us a curfew between 1-4pm. We can go out, they say, in safety to get your supplies, but that is a lie. They have often used that opportunity to add more shuhadaa to their list.

We eat one day rice and one day bread. Meat and milk are a luxury. They are using chemical warfare in the areas which are on the borders. They are killing us by bullets and tanks and B52s, but they are also killing us slowly by starving our children, inflicting indescribable diseases with their chemical warfare and laughing as our suffering becomes prolonged and unbearable.

All this and we are being told that people demonstrate all over the world. MashAllah the fact that you go to embassies and leave your homes makes us feel truly that we are not alone in our struggle.

But you go home at night and lock your door. We cannot do that. I have to leave my home on the second floor every night and stay with my sister on the ground floor. Should there be an attack, it's quicker to leave from the ground floor.

But the ummah is asking where are the Muslim armies? Where is the victory? And where is our true leader who will save us from this death? Where are the armies of Salahadeen Ayubi? Do not look to the UN, they recognised Israel in 1949 as a state and sealed our fate as it is today. Do not turn to America or Britain, did they not invade our ummah in Iraq and Afghanistan. Call the armies in Egypt, in Syria, in Turkey, in Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. In Bangladesh, in the Gulf, in Indonesia and in Libya where are they? Are they content to watch women scream for their help as they bury their young children? Are the screams of their sisters and brothers falling on deaf ears? We have a right to eat and drink in safety and security. We have a right to laugh and live in hope, do we not?

Yes we are tired. When we hear rockets and bombs and see planes that fly too close to our building, I scream with my young son and my husband feels helpless. The brothers will know what it must be like to feel helpless to protect the honour and lives of your family. It kills something of him inside. We often wonder when will they sell our land cheaply, will it take one thousand or two thousand deaths. We wait to see. The Israelis have started to plan where their settlements will be in Gaza. This is what we have become.

In all this there is no one but Allah سبحانه وتعالى that can save us. Don't forget us because you are all that we have now. Your sadaqaat is not reaching us, and when they open borders it only reaches a few who can do nothing with it because we risk our lives just to buy food. They will kill anyone, anyone even if he is a five year old child carrying food for his family. We want to live from the sweat of our men, not from the sweat of others because we are dying.

Keep up the work of Allah and pray and work for the victory that will come soon and rescue our ummah everywhere inshAllah.

May Allah سبحانه وتعالى make us steadfast in our deen, during struggle and during ease. Ya Allah bring us the victory soon and re-establish Islam as the authority by which we live, Ya Allah send us the sons of Salahudeen, the army of Islam to rescue Mohammed's صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ummah from the oppression under which we live. Ya Allah protect our children and remove the zionists from our land. Ya Allah witness today that we account our rulers, we pray that you return our true leader the Khaleefah soon. Ameen.
