"The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip! … We’ll own it!" President Donal Trump

US President Donald Trump announced the forced expulsion of Palestinians and takeover of Gaza by the US during a press conference alongside ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He stated that U.S. troops would be deployed to the region “if necessary” and confirmed that approximately two million residents of Gaza would be relocated to neighboring countries—without any right of return.

Renewing Colonial Policies of Expulsion and Occupation?

The United States is facing universal condemnation globally and even from within; critics across the political spectrum argue that relocating Palestinians amounts to ethnic cleansing and marks the dawn of a new era of colonial expansion.

A U.S. journalist directly challenged Trump, asking, “You’re talking about taking over a sovereign territory—what legal authority allows you to do that? Are you suggesting a permanent occupation?” To which Trump bluntly replied, “I do see a long-term ownership position!”

Senator Chris Murphy did not mince words: "He’s completely lost it. A U.S. invasion of Gaza would mean thousands of American troops dead and decades of endless war in the Middle East. It’s like a bad, sick joke."

Representative Jake Auchincloss was equally scathing, calling the proposal “reckless and unreasonable.” He added, “As always, when Trump puts forth a policy, there is a nepotistic, self-serving connection.”

Violating International Law

Amnesty International issued a grave warning, highlighting the U.S.’s continued disregard for international law: "By embracing ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Netanyahu—who is wanted by the ICC on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity—the United States is showing blatant contempt for global justice. Under the Geneva Conventions, the U.S. has a clear obligation to prosecute or extradite individuals accused of committing war crimes. There must be no safe haven for those responsible for crimes against humanity."

Furthermore, Amnesty emphasized that evidence has repeatedly shown U.S.-supplied weapons being used in war crimes. Despite this, Washington continues to supply arms to ‘Israel’, violating its duty to prevent genocide.

Former Republican Congressman Justin Amash echoed these concerns: "The U.S. is not only diving into yet another reckless occupation but is also guilty of ethnic cleansing. No American with a conscience should stand for this."

A Call to Action

The babbling of Trump statements of nonsense is asserting the fact of approval if not leading the ethnic cleansing practices of the Zionist occupying state. It is clear evidence of the state of mind of this president to become authoritarian system with occupying force. It is clear direction leading the united state of America into turbulent times of aggression.

The people of Gaza have spoken, they reject this hostile takeover by any force. May Allah bless their soles and strengthen their resilience against any aggressor.

The Muslims in America, we are obliged by Allah to raise the alarm about the dangerous path this administration is taking. Trump’s reckless policies are dragging the U.S. towards authoritarianism and colonial expansion, advocating the displacement of an indigenous Palestinians (Muslims and Christians) while claiming illegitimate ownership of the land for power and greed.

O People of America, resist this madness. Stand against injustice before it consumes the soul of your people and nation. History has proven that arrogance and aggression lead to the downfall of empires, while justice is the foundation of lasting stability.

O Muslim Ummah, the silence in the face of such injustice is unacceptable and a grave sin. You need to take your rightful position as Allah (swt) commands:

[كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ]

"You are the best of nations, as you enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah." [Quran 3:110].

O Muslim Armies, the power to bring change rests within you. Be the Ansar of Allah. Rise to establish justice and free the oppressed from colonial occupiers and corrupt rulers. The Quran makes it clear:

[وَإِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ]

"And if they call upon you for support, you must support them." [Quran 8:72].

O People of America, we invite you to reflect with an open heart. Consider Islam—not as the distorted image painted by the Zionist supported media, but as a solution to the moral and social decay consuming the world. Islam is a light of guidance, a mercy for humanity, and a beacon of true justice. Has not Gaza shown enough evidence of true representation of this faith. The patience the resilience, the just treatment even with their enemy. Beware do not test the power of faith as faith and justice finally wins.

[قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالَوْا إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَاءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَلَّا نَعْبُدَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ وَلَا نُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئاً وَلَا يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً أَرْبَاباً مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُولُوا اشْهَدُوا بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ]

"Say, O People of the Book, come to a word that is equitable between us and you—that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah. But if they turn away, then say, 'Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him].'" [Quran 3:64]
