Although the Muslim Council of Britain calls relocating Palestinians “ethnic cleansing,” a Trump official has stated:
President Trump looks at the Gaza Strip and sees it as a demolition site, sees it as impractical for it to be rebuilt within three to five years, believes it will take at least 10 to 15 and thinks it is inhumane to force people to live in an uninhabitable plot of land with unexploded ordnances and rubble.
The Muslim Council of Britain does not have the interests of Palestinians as a priority. Its focus is and has always been on boosting Islamic supremacy in Britain and globally.
In 2019, Muslim Council of Britain launched the Center for Media Monitoring in order to silence criticism of Islam. Its intent was really to ensure that the media presents Islam as a religion of peace, in complete contradiction to all facts about the abusive, oppressive and supremacist Sharia. Currently, the Muslim Council of Britain is in the news again for welcoming the ruling Labor Party’s creation of a council on “Islamophobia,” and is now pressing the the All-Party Parliamentary Group to establish a definition of “Islamophobia.”
Within three days of the Hamas savagery of October 7, 2023, the Muslim Council of Britain published its booklet “ Guidance on Palestine.” This booklet did not condemn Hamas, but highlighted Israel’s “occupation,” while it encouraged support for “Palestine.” It subsequently accused Israel of “ genocide” as the Jewish state defended itself, and supported ICC warrants for Israel’s alleged “crimes against humanity.”
“Muslim Council of Britain condemns Trump’s Gaza plan, calls for urgent global action,” Türkiye Today, February 5, 2025:
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) has called for “urgent international action” to rebuild Gaza and halt the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
In a statement, the MCB emphasized that the destruction caused by Israel in Gaza requires an international effort on a scale similar to the post-World War II reconstruction of cities like Berlin and Tokyo.
Key points from statement
The MCB stressed that the rebuilding of Gaza must involve restoring communities and preserving cultural heritage, much like the reconstruction of Berlin and Tokyo after World War II. The statement also highlighted that such efforts can be successful without forcibly displacing the local population.
The MCB strongly condemned any proposals that suggest relocating Palestinians, either temporarily or permanently, as part of Gaza’s reconstruction. The council argued that these proposals amount to “ethnic cleansing” and violate international law.
The group expressed concern that U.S. President Donald Trump is currently the only prominent figure advocating for Gaza’s reconstruction. The MCB criticized the lack of international urgency on this issue and warned that it has led to unacceptable proposals, including the forced relocation of Palestinians.
The statement pointed out that some people consider the idea of forcibly removing Palestinians from Gaza “acceptable,” which the MCB called deeply troubling.
Calls for firm stance
Dr. Wajid Akhter, General Secretary of the MCB, called on the U.K. government to take a firm stance against such “inhumane proposals” and to demonstrate real leadership in efforts to rebuild Gaza.
“We urge Muslim nations to move beyond solidarity and take urgent, concrete actions. Rebuilding Gaza without displacement is not only possible, but it is the only acceptable solution,” he added…. |
