As usual, the Islamic scholars accuse Israel of abuse of Palestinians.
Israel is under constant jihadist threat and as a result, acts in its own defense to protect its state and citizens. The claim that it commits human rights abuse is a creation of the Palestinian propaganda machine. Meanwhile Mauritania, which is falsely accusing Israel of abuses, is still holding black slaves.
200 Mauritania scholars ban normalisation with Israel,” Middle East Monitor, February 2, 2021:
Some 200 Mauritanian scholars and imams issued a fatwa on Sunday prohibiting the normalisation of relations with Israel, considering any relations with “the Zionist entity that usurped the land of Palestine and occupied Jerusalem and its holy sites to be forbidden and not permissible in any way.”
According to the RT website, the group of scholars who signed the fatwa confirmed in their seminar at Al-Tawfiq Mosque in Nouakchott that “normalisation stands for supporting and fully endorsing the Zionist usurpers’ siege, killing and destruction, and has nothing to do with reconciliation.”
The scholars emphasized that normalisation is forbidden and is one of the major taboos in Islam, considering normalisation to be a sign of loyalty, affection and alliance with the enemy and cooperation with it in various fields against Islam and Muslims.
The scholars called on the government to abide by what it had previously announced about having no intention to normalise relations with Israel.
Former Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz took the decision to freeze Mauritania’s relations with Israel in 2009 following the occupation’s brutal war against the Gaza Strip. This was followed by the permanent and official suspension of ties with the occupation in 2010 and the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from Nouakchott.
Mauritanian political forces and organisations have voiced their refusal of the normalisation agreements signed between Arab countries and Israel

When 100 German scientists agreed to condemn Albert Einstein, he was amused. ‘Why 100?’ he said, ‘It would only take one scientist to prove I am wrong.’

I am guessing that among the 200 “scholars” there is not one who can solve a quadratic equation.
In Islam stupid people(Imams) with a prodigious memory of an inconsistent, violent, book and little logic are given power to direct the society. Islam is the great retarding force, probibiting progress in Muslim nations and leaving them now vulnerable and fractioned. Islam can buy today’s technology yet cannot resist it.

So Mauritania is condemning Israel for among other things, it’s human rights record.
That’s pretty rich coming from a country that in 2017 had an estimated 600,000 slaves. Proof in itself that Islam condones slavery.
From my point of view, slavery is close to the top of the worst of human excesses.
Given the so called “Holy book” that is rammed down the throats of Mudslimes from cradle to grave, it is little wonder that these so called scholars are trying to justify their existence in this putrid manner.
