 When the topic of Palestine and Israel's action hit the mainstream, some supposedly civilized folks conclude that Israel is in targeting Islam but the reality is quite the opposite. It has always been undermining people's religious devotion and making them more submissive. That's Zionist policy. Those stirring up trouble in the Palestinian region see Islam as a primary obstacle to their plans for them. Islam provides a spark of hope that keeps a desire for freedom alive because Islam means freedom.

After attempting to erode the morale and hope of the Palestinian people, Israel seemed to have turned its attention to targeting, you know, mosques in the densely populated Gaza Strip. Some of these mosques, as we know, serve as shelter for refugees whose hopes have been shattered by airstrikes or caught up in Israeli offensives. This video from one of the western mainstream media platforms, I want to call it, but anyway, we're doing the so-called BBC done for sometimes downplaying issues in the Gaza Strip will surely shock you. This might be a must where Israel thinks Hamas gathers for prayers, right? Yet, as you can see from the video, there are no militants there or people brandishing AK47s. This is just a regular civilian mass situated within residential areas where local Muslims come to pray. Whether or not Hamas uses it for prayer is not the main concern here. What is the matter here is that this is a sacred place that should be spurred. You can destroy people's home and go after the worship place mate. That could amount actually to war crimes, frankly. The Torah itself condemns the destruction of places of worship while it may not be explicitly stated. The wording in Talmud Shabbat 31a where it says what is hateful to you do not do to another. This is the whole Torah seems to imply that if Israel opposes the destruction of other places of worship, this principle should apply to the Palestinian people too. Now let's take a look at this video from Ukraine. A cathedral in Odessa was hit by what the claimed at the time was a Russian miser, right? I'm now in the heart of Odessa. It's cathedral, Spasa Priyabrashensky Cathedral, the biggest Orthodox cathedral of Odessa city. And you can see what remained from it. This night Russia made a new missile attack against our city. And this time one of the missiles hit directly Orthodox cathedral, directly Orthodox cathedral in the night on Sunday when this morning here should be a mess. Politicians were quick to promise its reconstruction and even the Italian government allocated a substantial sum for its restoration. But why aren't we seeing the same concern for the destruction of people's spiritual heritage in Ghazami? I would like to wrap up by quoting these verses from the Quran specifically from Surah Al-Haj verses 40. Had it not been for God restraining some men by means of others, monasteries, churches, synagogues and mosques, wearing the name of God is mentioned would assuredly have been destroyed. These verse are the scores Islam's commitment to protect and religious diversity and the places of worship during times of expansion. It highlights the Quran's core for tolerance, respect and peaceful coexistence among different faith reflecting the historical approach of Muslim leaders in preserving religious artifacts and the places of worship of diverse communities.
