The Organization of Islamic Cooperation stands with the Palestinian “resistance.” For the OIC, this is a central issue. Pakistan is, of course, a member of the OIC. The “resistance,” which is really a resistance to the existence of a Jewish state in the region, is escalating, as is Islamic support for it. This support is seen in abundance in Pakistan, where an Islamic military force is being suggested as a next step to aid in Israel’s obliteration.
The weak resolve of Western countries in the face of the global jihad serves to amplify the call of that jihad, particularly after October 7. The more disbelievers fear confronting the escalating jihad, the stronger it will become. Israel is now confronting it head-on. The goal of jihadists is not only to destroy Israel, but to continue their conquests throughout the world in pursuit of a caliphate.
“On Anniversary Of October 7 Attack, Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Calls For An Islamic Military Force To Fight Israel: ‘Islamic Countries Possess A Large Force; If They Do Not Use It Now, When Will They Do It?’; Islamic Preacher Zakir Naik Urges ‘NATO-Like Alliance For Resolving The Palestine Issue,’” MEMRI, October 18, 2024:
On October 7, 2024, marking the first anniversary of the 2023 Hamas terror attacks on Israel, an all-party conference was organized at the President’s House in Islamabad. Leaders of several political parties and religious organizations expressed support for Palestinians, and former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called for an Islamic military force to fight Israel. Earlier, the exiled Indian preacher, Dr. Zakir Naik, who is on a month-long official tour of Pakistan, called for a NATO-like alliance of Islamic nations to aid the Palestinians and resolve the conflict.
The all-party conference, hosted by President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, was attended by: Nawaz Sharif, former prime minister and chief of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League (N) party; Maulana Fazlur Rehman, emir of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) party; Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman, emir of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan; Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui from Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM); Ijaz-ul-Haq, the son of former military dictator General Zia-ul-Haq and leader of Pakistan Muslim League (Z); Sarwat Qadri from Sunni Tehreek; and others.[1]
Addressing the conference, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who is brother of the current Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and arguably the most influential politician in Pakistan, told the religious and political leaders present: “The worst atrocities are being committed in Gaza. The entire region has been turned into scenes of destruction. But sadly, the world has adopted silence. The UN is sitting helpless.”[2]
According to a report in the Urdu daily, Roznama Ummat, Nawaz Sharif proposed “a military alliance of Islamic countries, and said that Islamic countries possess a large force. If they do not use it now, when will they do it? Perhaps, another moment will or will not come for using it, but today is the time. Israel is flexing muscles because international powers are behind it. They should think: over how long they will test the patience of the Islamic world and Palestine?”[3]…

As long as hamas wants to keep fighting and keep the Israeli hostages the destruction of gaza will and should go on. Nothing wrong with that. If they want to prevent that they should surrender and release the hostages.

Pakistan cannot even keep its decrepit, floundering economy afloat, and now some Pakistani leaders want to attack Israel?

Instead of targeting a country that is 4 countries away, why don’t they take on China in Xinjiang, where their mohammedan brothers are the target of a real genocide (unlike what India & Israel are doing). Of course, that will never do, since Beijing is the only reason Pakistan is secure from India. Not to mention that it’s the CPEC project that’s keeping Pakistan’s infrastructure afloat
Tony Rice says
So what did this Pakistani ex Prime Minister say and suggest when Hamas raided Israel, killing circa 1200 people , carrying out the most horrendous mutilations and taking hundreds of hostages, some of whom have been killed while in captivity and well over 100 still unaccounted for after over a year . The man talks with a forked tongue. I feel sure he issued no condemnation.

It’s too bad fire from heaven didn’t come down on that meeting and give them a taste of Justice.
“the worst atrocities” were committed in Israel on Oct 7 a year ago. The ghouls descended upon little ones getting their morning bottle; little ones sitting down to breakfast, and older ones having a fun festival…without warning, without reason other than hatred and malice and a lust for raping and shedding innocent blood.
What is happening now ‘in gaza,’ is repayment and a warning to the ghouls…such as at the meeting…who want to wipe Israel off the map and then move on to their next attack.
