A message from the professors and scientific elites of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the rulers of the Muslim countries and to the Palestinian elites.
(And it was a must for Us to help the faithful)
The recent crimes of the Zionist regime in the massacre of innocent civilians, including men and women, children, old and young, have hurt the feelings of people around the world, including Arabs and non Arabs, Muslims and non-Muslims. Rulers of Islamic world are obliged to carry the flag of the fight against arrogance and colonialism, not only from the perspective of religious commonality but also from the commonality of human nature. The real question is how some of you Arab rulers have not only remained silent, but also you have chosen to collaborate with world arrogance and colonialism forces. What is more intriguing is that despite the clear evidence showing you’re your calculations are misleading, you have chosen conservatism and even cooperation with the enemies of the Muslim nation. In a situation where the global arrogance led by the United States is declining and the Zionist regime is in the most vulnerable and weakest position, does conservatism or cooperation with the enemies seem reasonable? And while the Palestinians are in the most prepared state and can defend themselves honorably with an army armed to the teeth, and tomorrow's world is the world of Palestine, not Israel, is it in your interest to turn your back on to the Palestinian people and stab the Palestinian Mujahidin from behind?
These days, the usurping Zionist regime has suffered an irreparable military and information defeat by the Palestinian Mujahideen. This failure, like an earthquake, has destroyed the main governance structure of the Zionist regime. These unprecedented threat against the Zionist regime creates a unique opportunity for you to correct your positions and think about your nations and show the Arabic dignity and honor, and the refusal of injustice rooted in the Islamic Ummah. The events that are happening in Gaza are a sign of a decisive and future-making historical turn. Your choice in this critical situation determines your future and that of your nations. So save yourself from the great humiliation that the West, especially America, has imposed on you. Witnessing the severe war and siege on Gaza, why don't you respond the siege with a siege and stop the energy supply to the Zionist regime during the war?! This is the least action that one can expect, is any of Arab honor is left in you. Your action at the present moment will either be a dagger on the back of the Palestinian mujahid brothers or a sharp sword on the neck of the arrogant oppressors. Now that you still have time to repent, correct your position and join the raging flood of your nations, so that the day of Palestine's victory and Zionist regime collapse, which is close to God's grace, you will be in the ranks of the winners and heroes of the nation, or otherwise you will punished for treason and become a lesson for others. Undoubtedly, the issue of Palestine is at the top of the issues of the Islamic world, and this issue is tied to Islamic beliefs and uncorrupted human conscience. In this day and age full of oppression, there are those who seek justice and no more tolerate oppression, and make brotherhood with the oppressed and stand against the oppressors. The professors and elites of the Islamic Republic of Iran consider indifference and silence regarding this case to be unforgivable sin. Hearing the voice of the oppressed against the oppressor, they declare their position clearly to defend the right of the Palestinians to resist against the criminal Zionism, which is an extension of arrogance and colonialism, according to God's saying: (Allah does not like the public mention of evil except by one who has been wronged. And ever is Allah Hearing and Knowing).
