Question
The west said that the Islamic NGO's have connections with terrorism. what is the real story about this?
Answer
This is a false accusation, because our efforts are purely humanitarian to help the oppressed, the hungry and the needy which was accepted and ordained by all heavenly laws as well as international agreements. It is not possible to accuse to some one who adopt an orphan or help a sick person or feeds a hungry child, it is not possible to accuse such person as being a terrorist. Additionally, we operate in the open and our records are open to all, including local and international monitoring organizations.

Question
What are the basic needs in palestine thesedays? at the same time whats the role played by the islamic organisations in breaking the siege?
Answer
No doubt that the unparallel siege the Palestinian people are living has produced unique needs, most important of which is lack of food and medications, and the unemployment which caused a rise in the poverty levels and a spreading of diseases has long been gone in the past. For this reason, we at the Etilaaf Alkhair call upon all free people in the world to break the siege against our people and send immediate shipments of food and medications especially that that orphan\ages doe not have food and hospitals are now empty of most medications. This problem was exasperated by extending the siege to the government, causing an increased role for Islamic NGO's.

How could we provide you with and assistance in light of the fact that no banks are transferring any funds to you ????
Answer
Palestinian charitable organizations has been and still continue to receive funds through banks. We are charitable organizations and such organizations are not subject to the boycott against the government practiced by all, including, unfortunately, all banks. Despite all, the funds received now by our organizations are not enough given the inability of our government to perform its duties due to the siege

Question
You as the societies of wealth coalition, does your work stop because of the blockade ? or that it is less ¿ and why ?
Answer
We as a non-profit charitable organization are becoming increasingly under pressure to cope up with the increasing demand by the population due to the near absence to the role our government has traditionally being providing due to the brutal siege it is now coming under, the occupation, the military checkpoints, and all other forms of humiliating our people. However, we are continuing to provide as much help as we can, though it is not enough because more and more people are coming forward asking for help. We are stressing that ALL donations received are being delivered to its target and most of our workers are volunteers.

Question
In your opinion, is the symbolic assistance your people are receiving from some countries enough for the Palestinians ???
Answer
No doubt that any assistance, symbolic or otherwise receive will help to alleviate some of the needs of our people, however, it is far less of what is needed to satisfy the minimum requirements of our people, and we call upon all wealthy people on earth to rise up to their role to assist our people, the people who have suffered so much for so long.

Question
Palestinians are under siege, but has many wealthy people, do not they play any role in helping lift the siege ??
Answer
Despite the fact we have some wealthy people in our society, however, the needs of our people far exceeds any help our wealthy can provide. The root cause of all our problems is occupation which is hitting all, rich or poor by continuing the siege, destroying our economy, uprooting our trees, killing our children, and starving all.

Question
The aid of the Palestinians is a matter no escape from it, or that Palestine can't live without donations and a support, does it agree with me the opinion and why ¿
Answer
We as Palestinians need assistance because the occupation has been imposing on us a brutal siege and blockade ling before 2000. killing children, imposing sieges, destroying the economy, uprooting the trees, are some forms of what has been practice against us for so long turning us into a people totally dependent on donations. When the occupation will come to an end, there will be no need for any assistance from anybody anymore.

Muslim nations can help their brothers in Palestine by mobilizing ands collecting donations to help the Palestinians. We have charity organizations all over the world, because the Palestinian cause is the cause for all the Muslims, Muslims can support us by making the Palestinian cause the central cause for all the Muslims. We recall and greatly appreciate all the popular movements in Indonesia and Morocco and other countries to help and support our people.

I want to tell you that Palestinian people have been living horrible conditions for a very long time and want to assure you that most Palestinians are good Muslims, and there are bad people everywhere.

Question
Dear brother,
1. Don't you think that one of the main sources of zaionist coercion and transgression of all human laws is that the rogue state called(Israel) receives huge sums from the AIPAC, the US government, the Pentagon, international donors, blackmailing governments through the holocaust, etc?
2. Don't you think that a noteworthy source of problem for your association are the political activists who are anti the Islamic movements in some Arab-Muslim countries?
3. Why don't you try to sell some products of your association to the wide majority of Muslims and use the benefits in helping the Palestinians survive, such as T-shirts, pens, notebooks, hats,etc?
Answer
1. We believe that we as Arabs and Muslims do have enough resources equal or more than what the US Government, AIPACKs, etc, etc, has and if used properly, we will never need any assistance from anybody anymore.
2. As to the second part of your question, the occupation prevents us from manufacturing anything and will never allow us to sell it to support our people.
