Articles 29 and 30 of the Hamas Charter are calls for the Islamic world to rally behind Hamas in any manner that they can.
E. Nationalist and Religious Groupings, Institutions, Intellectuals, The Arab and Islamic World:
The Islamic Resistance Movement hopes that all these groupings will side with it in all spheres, would support it, adopt its stand and solidify its activities and moves, work towards rallying support for it so that the Islamic people will be a base and a stay for it, supplying it with strategic depth an all human material and informative spheres, in time and in place. This should be done through the convening of solidarity conferences, the issuing of explanatory bulletins, favourable articles and booklets, enlightening the masses regarding the Palestinian issue, clarifying what confronts it and the conspiracies woven around it. They should mobilize the Islamic nations, ideologically, educationally and culturally, so that these peoples would be equipped to perform their role in the decisive battle of liberation, just as they did when they vanquished the Crusaders and the Tatars and saved human civilization. Indeed, that is not difficult for Allah.
“Allah hath written, Verily I will prevail, and my apostles: for Allah is strong and mighty.” (The Dispute – verse 21).
Article Thirty:
Writers, intellectuals, media people, orators, educaters and teachers, and all the various sectors in the Arab and Islamic world – all of them are called upon to perform their role, and to fulfill their duty, because of the ferocity of the Zionist offensive and the Zionist influence in many countries exercised through financial and media control, as well as the consequences that all this lead to in the greater part of the world.
Jihad is not confined to the carrying of arms and the confrontation of the enemy. The effective word, the good article, the useful book, support and solidarity – together with the presence of sincere purpose for the hoisting of Allah’s banner higher and higher – all these are elements of the Jihad for Allah’s sake.
“Whosoever mobilises a fighter for the sake of Allah is himself a fighter. Whosoever supports the relatives of a fighter, he himself is a fighter.” (related by al-Bukhari, Moslem, Abu-Dawood and al-Tarmadhi).
Hamas called for a “jihad” to combat “the ferocity of the Zionist offensive and the Zionist influence in many countries exercised through financial and media control” and sought to enlist “writers, intellectuals, media people, orators, educaters and teachers“ from “the Arab and Islamic world.” Amazingly, the non-Muslim alt-left has joined that Islamist call for jihad as well.
Progressives on college campuses, the liberal media and members of Congress have attended “solidarity conferences, the issuing of explanatory bulletins, favourable articles and booklets, enlightening the masses regarding the Palestinian issue” assuming tasks Hamas only imagined Islamic extremists like them would take, contributing their efforts “in the decisive battle of liberation, just as they [Muslim warriors] did when they vanquished the Crusaders and the Tatars and saved human civilization,” for the “sincere purpose for the hoisting of Allah’s banner higher and higher” over Palestine.
“Whosoever mobilises a fighter for the sake of Allah is himself a fighter [for the Islamic cause].” Participants in attacks on the legitimacy of Israel are pawns of Hamas.
