All throughout the major cities in Palestine, scheduled rallies were to proudly take place July 2, 2011.  Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, Tul Karim, Jenine, Qalqilya and Bethlehem had timed rallies after Asr prayer most departing from the mosques. Hizb_ut_Tahrir marked the devastating ninetieth anniversary of the destruction of the Islamic State at the hands of the greatest criminal in Muslim history, Mustafa Kemal Attaturk.  The rallies aligned with the Arab states protests calling for the uprooting of the current agent-regimes and erecting a Khilafah "Caliphate" state that unites the many statelets under the banner of Islam.  Calling upon the Ummah to instigate a genuine revolution not a mere shuffle of agent-rulers.  A radical change that yanks the roots of secularism and capitalism out of Muslim lands replacing it with a new seed, Islam. Islam the complete just system from Allah swt to all of humanity.  

However true to their nature, the Palestinian Authority Security Forces and Police were present in causing great harm and confusion to participants and onlookers.   In attempts to stop the rally in Nablus, the PA forces, dressed in civilian clothing, fired live bullets near the protesters' feet causing several injuries.  Several HT members were detained during the rally.  Yet the more severe violence took place in Hebron, the PA Forces were more prominent in presence ; injuries and arrests numbered in the hundreds.  Live bullets and tear gas were fired onto the people.  They beat the demonstrating people with clubs and bases of rifles causing massive injuries.  More than forty ambulances were unable to accommodate the wounded.  In Ramallah, the originally planned central rally, the PA formed checkpoints and blockades around the major city checking ID's and destination points.

Hundreds of Hizb_ut_Tahrir members and supporters were forcefully and illegally detained and severely injured, causing several Human Rights Organizations to open case reports and investigations in the PA's criminal actions against the peaceful protesters all throughout the West Bank. 

The PA has once again brought attention to the sincere actions of Hizb_ut_Tahrir more than they would have desired.  After Hizb_ut_Tahrir successfully notified the proper authorities of the scheduled rally, the Ramallah city council approved the rally.  Banners, fliers, and radio promotions announced the scheduled rally.  Two days before the rally, the PA authorities tore down banners and fliers from the cities.  They contacted HT's Palestine media member Baher Saleh alerting him of the ban. Yet the supporters bravely carried on with the scheduled rallies that included speeches to the masses. Following with conviction and courage in the footsteps of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), members and supporters of HT carried out the flags (rayat) of the Ummah and their voices chanted over the gun fire. The day after the rallies, the PA's Police media spokesman stated, Yousef Uzrain stated the rally was banned due to political reasons with them being unknown.

Indeed calling for the eradication of the agent-regimes that support and protect the Israeli presence has caused a great discord to the Palestinian Authority.  Alhamdulillah, Muslims are no longer afraid of the silence that brought ninety years of misery and oppression.  They want and seek a true solution.  Islam will revive the Ummah to the highest levels and break the chains of Western servitude and darkness. Inshallah the end is near for the agent-rulers as we are witnessing today and the beginning of a new era is near for the millions of Muslims world-wide.

((وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ))

And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!
