Jakarta, MINA – Dr. Wahyudi KS recounted the early arrival of Jewish communities in Palestine, highlighting how a humanitarian gesture by Palestinians who welcomed them as refugees, but was met with betrayal.
Speaking at a recent seminar titled “Tadrib Al-Quds and Palestine for Muslim Women,”on Saturday, Dr. Wahyudi, a lecturer at Al-Fatah Islamic College in Bogor, explained that Jews initially arrived in Palestine as refugees fleeing persecution in Europe.
“They were welcomed with compassion by the Palestinian people, who offered them shelter. But over time, they seized land and forced Palestinians out of their own homes,” he said.
He emphasized that this occupation continues today, particularly in Gaza, where descendants of those who once showed mercy now endure ongoing violence and systematic oppression.
