Summary of "التعقيب على من نشر أن سالم الطويل يقول: “اتركوا فلسطين لليهود”"
The video is a detailed response by Salem Al-Tawil addressing accusations that he said "leave Palestine to the Jews" and that he supports former U.S. President Trump’s policies. He strongly denies these claims, condemns the insults and curses directed at him, and explains the context of his original speech, which was recorded before Trump’s presidency.
Key points from his response include:
- Denial of Allegations: Salem Al-Tawil refutes the claim that he encouraged Palestinians to abandon their land or that he supports Israel’s occupation. He clarifies that he neither told Palestinians to leave nor endorsed Trump’s policies.
- Context of Emigration: He discusses the Islamic perspective on migration (hijra), citing the Prophet Muhammad’s own emigration due to oppression. He explains that migration is permissible when a Muslim cannot practice their religion freely or is oppressed, but staying and resisting is preferred if possible.
- Realities of Palestinian Life: He acknowledges that many Palestinians have emigrated for various reasons—oppression, economic hardship, or safety—and that many hold Israeli citizenship or live under Israeli control. He stresses that leaving one’s country is a personal decision based on circumstances, not a directive from him.
- Criticism of Opponents: Al-Tawil criticizes those who insult and curse him, calling such behavior weak and unjustified. He prays for patience and justice rather than retaliation and forgiveness for those who spread falsehoods about him.
- Reflection on Gaza Conflict: He comments on the recent Gaza confrontations, describing the destruction and suffering there and criticizing those who claim victory despite the devastation. He suggests some use the controversy about his speech to deflect blame for failures in confronting Israel.
- Religious and Moral Framework: Throughout, he emphasizes reliance on God’s justice and patience, rejecting personal vengeance and urging people to judge his words fairly and within the broader Islamic and human context.
Overall, Salem Al-Tawil’s message is a call for understanding the complexities of Palestinian migration and resistance, a rejection of slander against him, and a reminder of the religious principles guiding Muslims under oppression.
