The Executive Committee of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) meeting held on October 18, 2023 “to discuss the ongoing Israeli military aggression against the Palestinian people” marks a shameful and disturbing new low point in Islamic-Christian-Jewish relations.
The OIC brands itself as:
“The State of Palestine” has been a member since the OIC’s founding in 1969.
The Executive Committee’s final communique is very concerning for the following reasons:
One can only conclude that the OIC condones this heinous and horrific inhumane behaviour by some of Gaza’s Moslem population. The OIC’s refusal to condemn those blood-thirsty Gazans makes a mockery of its claim to promote international peace and harmony among various people of the world.
Instead the communique calls for:
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has obliged--preferring to keep Gaza’s civilian population entrapped in Gaza rather than calling on the UN’s 193 members--especially the 57 OIC member states - to take the Gazan civilian population into their countries whilst Israel wipes out those responsible for this unimaginable massacre and abduction.
Guterres and the OIC have seemingly agreed that the liquidation of the Gazan murderers is not an imperative for the maintenance of world peace and harmony--leaving the civilian population in Gaza to serve as human shields protecting these Gazan monsters and impeding Israel’s attempts to rid the world of them.

This rush to judge Israel guilty is contrary to the evidence established so far and destroys the credibility of the OIC.
The OIC and the United Nations have become the world’s leading Jew-bashing institutions.
This disgraceful OIC communique needs to be unequivocally denounced at the UN General Assembly by its 136 non-Islamic member States.
Murdering, raping, beheading and abducting civilians was supposedly ended with the defeat of ISIS in 2017. Such obscenities and atrocities have now returned in 2023 - and the UN and OIC have shamefully refused to co-operate with Israel in eradicating their perpetrators.
