Peace impossible without stopping genocide in Palestine, recognizing Hamas, says Naeemur Rehman
Says Israel acting like a rampaging elephant — it must be stopped
Hamas office in Pakistan, should be restored, says Naeemur Rehman
KARACHI: SEPTEMBER 27: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan Ameer Engr Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman has said that establishing durable peace would be impossible until and unless genocide in Palestine is not stopped and democratically elected Hamas is not recognised.
The JI supreme leader expressed these views at a seminar organized by the Islamic Lawyers Movement at Jinnah Auditorium, City Court, entitled 'Farewell Sermon: Muhammad (PBUH), the Pioneer of Human Rights'.
Further talking about the global political landscape, he criticized the United States for its hypocrisy — claiming to champion human rights and democracy while using atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and waging wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
He pointed out that in 2006, Hamas had won democratic elections, yet the US and Israel did not allow it to function. Similarly, when the Islamic Salvation Front in Algeria had secured 80 percent of the vote, they were prevented from forming a government.
Hafiz Naeem said journalists and human rights workers were being targeted in Israeli airstrikes, and the world must understand that lasting peace cannot be achieved by sidelining Hamas or continuing the genocide of Palestinians.
He said Israel is behaving like a drunk and destructive elephant — it must be stopped. Hamas was formed in 1978, yet Israel was already invading Palestine in 1938 and 1940.
According to the UN Charter, Hamas has the right to resist the occupation of its land, he said, adding that the Hamas political office in Pakistan should be restored.
Hafiz Naeem announced that on October 4 in Lahore and October 5 in Karachi, there would be massive 'Gaza Million Marches', and on October 7, a “Global Day of Protest” will be observed with protests across Pakistan, urging lawyers to also step out of courts for one hour of strong demonstration on the day.
Talking about the local issues, he said that authoritarian governments, feudal lords, and tribal landlords long deprived the people of their fundamental rights. Even today, the country is being run by so-called 'Form 47' rulers, not true representatives of the people, he said.
He dubbed the PPP is the ‘A-plus’ team of the establishment, and said that the system operating in Sindh and Karachi was controlled from Islamabad.
He criticized the deteriorating state of Karachi, calling it “Mini Pakistan” but suffering from lack of basic services like electricity, water, transport, and road infrastructure. He mentioned the incomplete University Road and Green Line projects, and the poor conditions around City Court and the Karachi Bar as evidence.
He also accused the Sindh government of fraud in schemes like the Benazir Income Support Program, saying the PPP was focused only on strengthening its own political machinery.
On the occasion, he also criticized the 26th Constitutional Amendment and said that the JI opposed it and had filed a case in a court of law.
He emphasized that Jamaat-e-Islami is the only political party in Pakistan that practices internal democracy, holding leadership elections every five years at all levels, unlike dynastic parties that operate based on inheritance and family succession.
