Muslim scholars urge support for Lebanon, Palestine
DUBAI: Some 170 Muslim scholars, thinkers and politicians called Saturday for backing the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples in the face of Israeli onslaughts and urged Arab and Muslim rulers to cut any ties with Israel.
“...disavow any political or economic ties ... with the Israeli enemy and to drop any illusions of peace with (Israel) and which have brought our nation nothing but killing, destruction and shame...”
“We call on all the Muslim and Arab peoples to stand by their brethren in Palestine and Lebanon and ... support them by all moral and material means available and in keeping with Islamic rules,” they said in a statement.

The statement, signed by 169 preachers, academics and Islamic politicians from Arab and Muslim countries, expressed “full support for the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples” as they confront Israel’s offensives in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. Calling for Muslims from all sects to close ranks and cast aside any differences, the signatories urged Arab and Muslim governments to “disavow any political or economic ties ... with the Israeli enemy and to drop any illusions of peace with (Israel) and which have brought our nation nothing but killing, destruction and shame”.
