✅ | Due to the increasing and systematic oppression of Muslims, which intensified further after the genocide in Gaza, many ordinary Muslims have naturally developed a strong emotional affinity toward Muslim nations and communities generally. However, one must not overlook the fact that several governments of these same Muslim-majority countries have themselves played significant roles in the destruction and destabilization of Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, and Iraq. The public in these countries, whatever its position may be, should not automatically be equated with the regimes that govern them. In many cases, the regimes themselves have pursued policies that are deeply hostile to the very populations they claim to represent, and their conduct can overlap with the interests of the same adversaries confronting Palestinians and other oppressed peoples.

It is also important not to forget Saudi Arabia’s military intervention in Yemen, the extensive destruction it caused, and the prolonged blockade and humanitarian crisis that followed. Rather than viewing the world simply through the binary of Muslims versus non-Muslims, it may be more useful to examine it through the distinction between Zionism and oppression on one side, and those subjected to oppression on the other. From this perspective, the religious or sectarian identity of an oppressed person becomes secondary to the nature of their political and material circumstances. A Christian in Syria, a Shia in Lebanon, and a Zaydi in Yemen may belong to different religious and sectarian communities, but their experiences can be understood through a shared condition of political violence, displacement, marginalization, or external domination. Conversely, the mere fact that a state or political actor identifies itself as Muslim does not necessarily place it on the side of those facing oppression.

Remember always; Saudi Arabia is a Zionist state, regardless of its religious identity or the Islamic institutions and religious sites it has hosted. The holy sanctuaries of Makkah and Medina are not the property of Saudi Arabia; they belong to the entire Muslim Ummah. Therefore, their administration should not remain under the control of any dictatorial regime. All Muslims have the right to have a say in the administration and protection of these sacred sites.
