Pro-Hamas, pro-pogrom, antisemitic Muslim Brotherhood symposium in Istanbul

A symposium titled “The Palestinian Issue from the Balfour Declaration... to the Al-Aqsa Flood,” was held in Istanbul, Saturday, November 4. It praised Hamas for its "resistance" and specifically for its October 7 pogrom.

Citing this as a victory, the speakers said that the war " stopped the path of normalization once and for all."

It appeared to be very much supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood, praising former Egyptian President Morsi for his support of Gaza during his short term in office, and including Brotherhood speakers.

Support for terror groups didn't end there. The speakers said that "the fall of the Islamic State and the disappearance of the feeling of brotherhood is the reason for preventing the emergence of a strong Islamic state that confronts the practices of the Zionist entity." This sounds like a pretty strong endorsement for ISIS.

The President of the World Forum for Thought and Culture, Dr. Mona Sobhi, gave the welcoming speech, during which she saluted "the heroes of the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip." She added, "Your effort and struggle, O heroes of Palestine, and your creation of this historical epic since October 7, is God’s blessing upon you that began decades ago, and you have been guided to good work, and raising generations of balanced education, in which the doctrinal, moral, intellectual and physical formation of young people, these Young people sold their souls to God Almighty, and for the sake of God they rose, and we are now witnessing this fruit of this good and blessed planting, which bears fruit in patience and victory, determination and will, awareness and maturity.”

"October 7 was a watershed that history will write in letters of light," she said.

Hamas leader Fawzi Barhoum said, "We in Hamas will expel the Zionists from Palestine humiliated and submissive." But he also said, "There is a media battle due to the export of a misleading narrative from the Israeli media about the Hamas movement that it is an ISIS terrorist movement, and that narrative must be confronted in our media and we fight with pen and image until we convey our narrative to the world."

Rania Nasr, a member of the Coalition of Women Scholars and Preachers and the Palestine Scholars Association, said that the attack "renewed the blood of the nation and sent educational messages from the heart of the trench confirming the Muslim faith. "

Secretary of the Jerusalem Department of the Palestine Scholars Association and a member of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, Dr. Mahmoud Al-Shajarawi, said, "the date of the battle came on the 20th day of the Zionist holiday season, and it also came on Saturday, which is a Jewish religious holiday, which is the night of complete forgiveness, a time of joy for the Jews, so the Al-Aqsa Flood was a tragedy for the Zionists.": He also claimed that Israel allows animal sacrifices on the Temple Mount.

The media spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood, Ali Hamad, said "the Palestinian issue is a right that can be seized by any and all means - our struggle with the enemy is not over a piece of land, but rather a struggle between truth and falsehood and between the Qur’an and the Talmud."
