Online Protests Commemorating Al-Quds Day

On the last Friday of each Holy Month of Ramadan, Muslims gather worldwide to renew their promise to liberate the whole land of Occupied Palestine.

On the last Friday of each Holy Month of Ramadan, Muslims gather worldwide to renew their promise to liberate the whole land of Occupied Palestine.

Al-Quds Day still resounds after three decades of declaring it by Imam Khomeini (IKA); the day on which the Muslim Ummah suddenly decided to break its chains and put an end to the isolation it suffered from.

On this day each year, Muslims are used to meet the call of duty. Marches and seminars are held in Lebanon, Palestine, Iran and other countries of the Islamic world; yet, other peoples are deprived of this honor because in some countries all voices are muted, except those who praise ‘His Majesty’ or ‘His Excellency’.

However, online protests – the number-1 means in supporting the recent Arab Spring – became another outlet for suppressed peoples to express solidarity with Al-Quds.

‘International Day of Quds’ is the name of a facebook group joining members of different Arab nationalities. The group decided to mark this year’s occasion by using the terms ‘Death to Israel’ and ‘Death to US’.

One of the group’s members – of Bahraini nationality – created a video and dedicated it to “The Free of Palestine”. While another – a Lebanese - called upon others to participate effectively in the occasion.

Many other online pages and groups were created to mark the same historic occasion, like Al-Quds Day on the Internet’ which work actively to broadcast activities commemorating this day in Al-Quds and other territories where Palestinians live.
