General Chairperson Of Muhammadiyah Central Executive For The 2005-2015 Period Din Syamsuddin/DOK ANTARA

Chairman of the Muhammadiyah Central Executive for the 2005-2015 period, Muhammad Sirajuddin Syamsuddin (Din Syamsuddin) is trying to have an audience with the TNI Commander to hold a Palestinian defense action the day after the TNI Anniversary commemoration in October. "If necessary, the TNI Commander can send a Kopassus battalion, a Kostrad battalion, a Marine battalion and Air Force Special Forces, maybe parachuting carrying Indonesian and Palestinian flags," said Din in Jakarta, Antara, Sunday, August 18. Din said he had proposed to the action organizing committee led by the preacher Zaitun Rasmin in order to prepare an action similar to a larger scale. "Maybe around the TNI's birthday. If the TNI Anniversary is October 5, we will take even bigger action on October 6 to coincide with Sunday," he said. Din then said similar actions to defend the Palestinian people had been carried out several times before and would continue to be held until Palestine was free from Israeli colonialism. Actions will also continue until all forms of colonialism are removed from the face of the earth. The reason he and a series of figures including the Deputy Chairperson of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly (MPR RI) Hidayat Nur Wahid and the masses of the Indonesian People's Alliance Defend Palestine (ARI-BP) will continue because one of them is a debt of gratitude to Palestine. The Palestinian people, said Din, first recognized Indonesia's independence. Even a year before the Proclamation of August 17, 1945, which was September 6, 1944, via radio from Berlin. "Therefore, the Indonesian people as a sign of gratitude for the presence of Allah our SWT also recognizes the independence of Palestine. We are also fighting for the Palestinian state to be independent," he said. The second reason, namely because of colonialism, the humanitarian tragedy continues and even continues. Referring to the mandate in the opening of the 1945 Constitution regarding removing all forms of colonialism from the face of the earth, the Indonesian nation must fight for the independence of Palestine. "So prepare yourself, maintain stamina. Don't want anyone to be instigated. Don't be easily provoked. Strengthen faith, strengthen the belief that what we are doing in the Islamic language is jihad fisabilillah," said Din. Previously, the action of the same mass held an International Solidarity Day Action for Gaza and Palestinian Prisoners in front of the United States Embassy, Jalan Merdeka Selatan, Central Jakarta, in early August.

In their action, they held a supernatural prayer for the death of the leader of the Political Bureau of Hamas Ismail Haniyeh. They performed dhikr, prayed, sang together and orated to defend Palestine.
