- The conspiracy to occupy and dominate Palestine began since the late nineteenth century. But the Khilafah "Caliphate", especially during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, may Allah (swt) have mercy on him, was an impregnable obstacle in front of this conspiracy in spite of its weakness and its degeneration at the time, and may Allah (swt) bless the Sultan when he said to the Zionists: "If the Khilafah "Caliphate" falls one day, you will get Palestine without a price." This is what actually happened.

-  The conflict in Palestine is not primarily with the Jews who occupy it, it is with the international will, which was behind the founding of the Jewish entity (the Balfour Declaration), which assumes its protection and welfare to this day, and so the battle is greater than being limited to the people of Palestine and the Jewish occupiers.

-  Britain lodged the Jewish entity in Palestine, creating a crisis in the heart of the Arab world, in order to distract the peoples' efforts in the region from working for the liberation from colonialism and the expulsion of Western influence from the countries to engaging in a forged issue that allows the West to be the reference instead of being the enemies to be fought and its influence to be expelled from the land.

- The international will, starting from Britain through to the United States, was able through regional rulers to carry out this plan, they participated in the surrender of Palestine since 1948, and were able to exploit the Palestinian issue to maintain their thrones through the allegation that it is the issue above all issues and it is not permissible for any other issue to divert away from it. The regimes of the region traded with Palestinian issue, and then sold it when it established the PLO and emerged as the supporter for the armed struggle organizations

-  Palestinian resistance movements embraced the arms of the regimes that traded with them, their excuse is that the resistance must have solid base to stand on and to launch from, so the sheep were sheltered by wolves.

-  The stability of the Jewish entity on the land of Palestine throughout the sixty-five years is not produced by the strength of this entity, in reality it is more fragile than a spider's webs. But it is stabilized by the state of paralysis that is plaguing the Ummah which lost the ability to reach the spider's web. In the few cases that showed its will it was was incapable to implement its will, because they lost its central nervous system with the fall of the Islamic State in which through it, could enable it to express its identity and implement its will and aspirations.

- The classification of the issue of Palestine as an issue for the Palestinians alone is a disgrace if not betrayal for the issue. The issue was assigned through the establishment of the PLO and the subsequent resistance organizations to the weakest link in the Ummah, they are the people of Palestine, the prisoners of war who are impacted and do not have land to launch from for the Liberation of Palestine. And the armies surrounding the occupied land are exempted from this sacred mission entrusted by Shariah to the Islamic Ummah, especially the neighboring countries of the occupied territory.

-  All the Palestinian organizations are involved in this offence when they made their demands from neighboring countries limited to support, sympathy, solidarity and shelter; thus agreed to the resignation of the ring countries and neighboring countries of their responsibility to liberate Palestine. They also contributed to their isolation when they linked their policies to some regimes, their alliances often went in opposite direction of the Ummah's issues in the region, and that is when it allied with regimes hostile to Islam and the Ummah. It is ironic that we were asked for so long to accept that resistance is allied to puppet regimes and a traitor to Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) and the believers, like the regime of Syria and Iran in recent years, and the Iraqi and Jordanian regimes before...

- Making the issue of Palestine an issue exclusive to the Palestinians, is one of the episodes in the segmentation of the Muslim Ummah's issues and to deter carrying a single issue, namely the revival from its decline and weaknesses through the resumption of the Islamic way of life, through the establishment of an Islamic State, which brings together the Ummah and regains its identity by the return of its sovereignty of Islam and the Sultan of the Ummah, and expels the Western influence from the land, and to hold on firmly to the factors of inherent power, to move them towards the Liberation of Palestine and other occupied countries, and to address the complex and interlocking problems arising from the paralysis of the will and the decision in the Ummah for over a century.

- The series of negotiations that began years ago with the occupying Jewish entity in order to reach a settlement with it and to bring peace to place a state of war is a full treason against Allah, His Prophet and the believers, as it is based on recognizing the right of this entity to exist on the land of Palestine, even if on one part of it, but is the recognition of its land, which was approved by the successive UN resolutions, a territory which constitute about 85% of the occupied Palestine, and which has become the world - including many of the countries of the Islamic world - call it "Israel".

- The history of negotiations proved virtually beyond any reasonable doubt that the international will and the will of the Jewish entity teamed up to make the negotiations a way to drain the forces of the people of Palestine and to waste their energies and divert their thinking about the fateful conflict to liberate the land from the abomination of the Jews to the mere detailed bargaining related to selfish daily living demands, which led the main enemy, which sponsors the Jewish entity - the international system along with its agents of the rulers of the Muslims - to become brokers that arbitrates between the victim and the executioner. The closest example of this is these days, is relying after the criminal aggression against the slaughtered Gaza to the agent-regime in Egypt, which has been for long the largest collaborator in the blockade imposed on the people of Gaza, to be the mediator between the Palestinian Coalition Authority and the Jewish entity. Even though the Shariah - as well as the perceived and living reality - dictates that this regime must be taken as an enemy for being one of the accomplices with the Jewish entity and international sponsors.

Allah Almighty says:

((وَلَا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْصَرُونَ))

"And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than Allah any protectors; then you would not be helped" [Hud: 113]

- The request for international protection is a conspiracy against Palestine and is misleading, but cannot fool the sane. The one who thinks that the colonial international forces cares for the blood of Muslims or is concerned with the destruction of their homes is imagining it, on the contrary, they have been a tool in the killing of Muslims and destruction of their homes, as in Srebrenica, Afghanistan and elsewhere. And he is imagining or mislead if he assumes that the forces of countries that support the occupying Jewish state with money and equipment and provide political cover for its crimes will be a backer or peace for the people of Palestine!

The Palestinian Authority's request of international protection of these colonists is seeking to perpetuate the occupation of the Blessed Land  and will replace it with another occupation, which is the embedding of the pursuit of the Authority for the splitting of Palestine from its Islamic depth and extension, which is the pursuit for the destruction of Palestine at the hands of the neo-Crusaders. Rather, it exposes its purpose aimed to exploit the blood that is flowing in Gaza, for the implementation of the American project in the region with the so-called two-state solution! Before and after, it is disobedience to Allah (swt) who says:

((وَلَن يَجْعَلَ اللّهُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلاً))

"...and never will Allah give the disbelievers over the believers a way [to overcome them]." [An-Nisa: 141]

Gaza and Palestine are not looking for the protection of Ban Ki-moon or Obama or Holland or Cameron and do not see any sincerity in these colonists, but is looking forward for the likes of Al- Farouq and Salahuddin, the leaders out of their midst, that will move their armies to liberate the Blessed Land and teach the Jews and those who conspired with them a lesson that will make them forget the whispers of devils, and uproot their entity from Palestine from its roots.

- One who is watching this frustrating scene of the way the new rulers have dealt with the issue of Palestine might think that the revolutions were an evil on the Palestinian issue. But the outlook should be more far-reaching and of a wider horizon. As the revolutions are unfinished and the political movement in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Yemen has barely begun.

The revolutions have started spontaneously in these countries without bearing any political project, as it was carrying a prominent Islamic energy that confined its inception to the rejection of injustice, tyranny and bullying practiced by the mighty tyrants over the decades of their rule of the countries.

However, the people of this country after they regained confidence in their ability to determine their own destiny and choose their regimes and determine their policies; and found themselves faced with the necessity of thinking in the political project that should replace the rotten political regimes imposed by the West and its agents on them for decades. This movement indicates since now that the Ummah will only choose the system of Islam for life, society, and the state. Even though it was selected emotionally and superficially within the limits of what was presented to it of the projects and political slogans, the reality emerging challenges it to deeply think about the political project of the real transition to the Islamic way of life again and restores the identity that it lost a century ago, and then the hope will be the largest and greatest for Palestine.

- Let us constantly remember that the first conqueror who opened Palestine, the Commander of the Faithful Omar Bin Al-Kattab (ra) was not a Palestinian, and that  Sultan Salhuddin Al-Ayubbi who liberated Al Quds from the occupying crusader was neither a Palestinian nor an Arab, and that the Khaleefah of the Muslims Sultan Abdul Hammed II who protected and guarded Palestine from the Zionist's conspiracy and refused to sell for tremendous amounts of gold was also neither Palestinian nor Arab, but they were all faithful leaders who were the best reflection of their Ummah and Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) and those who believe were their support, unlike the rulers of this time who are sincere in loyalty to America and the West and their allies, the Jews. History proves, as well as the Shariah texts that while this Ummah was facing its enemies in its capacity as the Islamic Ummah and not descriptions of nationalism, patriotism or other, and under the Islamic banner, have always had the upper hand, which was the fulfillment of Allah's promise for it:

وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُون

"Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient". [An-Nur: 55]

Upon the announcement of the Tawjehi (general secondary examination) results of the summer cycle, Minister of Education Mohamad Al Thanybat said that he is "in excruciating pain" due to the high school test scores, noting that students from 342 schools sat for these summer cycle exams, and no one passed!  Al Thanybat also stated in an interview with Jordanian television that the Tawjehi results for this period were "a huge depot in the history of Jordan since 20 years." The minister pointed at the existence of a flaw in this period which his ministry can't resolve in one year.

The percentage of success in the official exams has decreased from around 56% in the past 2 years to around 40% this year. More specifically, this percentage has decreased to 24% if one compares the percentage of success with the percentage of participants, as 35% of the participants did not sit for the exams for various reasons.

In other statements made by governmental officials with regards to the situation of education and the low level it has reached, the Minister himself mentioned in a previous statement, "Around 100,000 students, which is around 22% from the amount of students in the first three primary levels cannot read Arabic nor English letters."

Dr. Sawsan Al Majaly, the General Secretary of the People's Senate, said about high school education that "it is facing a weakness in its inputs and a decrease in the quality of education in all of its grades and levels."

The exam is an assessment of the abilities gained from the educational process and what is done by the best ministers which is controlling the test, but that is only the tip of the iceberg showing the reality of the educational policy's failure without revealing the reasons or solutions because it's outside the frame of change that the system doesn't want.

Observing the statements of the governmental officials about the reality of education, to sense the existence of a real and tragic crisis that is affecting the students and the children of the Ummah in all primary, high school, and university educational levels, resulted by the failed educational policy and the false care of the system's politics done to its children over the past decades.

The system is responsible for the consecutive failures of the educational system stopping it from establishing a successful educational policy suiting the children of the Ummah which is an Islamic Ummah. For example, more than 10 Ministers of Education succeeded each other within 8 years where the educational process was submissive to the desires, popular propitiation and political exploitation of the system.

The educational policies of the system has been ignored over decades as it identifies with the capitalistic system and the convenience of the enemies of the Ummah by changing the curricula to suit the West's war on Islam and by westernizing the children of the Ummah. In addition, this has led to the shaping of a reality that isn't sincerely caring for the children of the Ummah who now suffer from the weakness and malignity of these curricula being inadequate content- and context-wise. These curricula falsify history, denaturize tastes, contort tongues, diminish the brain's perception, kill creativity, contempt Islamic values, and beautify sins and the rotten capitalistic secular values.

It is this reality that is sensed by the children of the Ummah and every honest thinker, as they see that the Islamic Ummah is able to come up with educational policies, strategic programs, and original methods to bring back its outstanding rank in the golden ages.

Hizb ut Tahrir, with what it has from awareness and attentiveness and the ongoing continuous work it does with the Ummah and through it, has come up with a policy for education as part of the constitutional project for the Khilafah "Caliphate" Al-Rashidah state which the Hizb works for its establishment and the elevation of the Ummah's rank beyond all other nations, and the most important points of this are the following:

-     The educational system in the Khilafah "Caliphate" state compromises from a group of Shariah rulings and administrative rules related to the educational curriculum. The Shariah rulings related to education emanate from the Aqeedah and have judicial evidence such as the taught content and the separation between male and female students.

-     As for the administrative rules in education, they are the allowed means and methods that the administration regards as effective to implement the system and achieve its goals. These are materialistic matters that are prone to development and change to suit and implement the Shariah rulings that are related to education and the important needs of the Ummah. In addition, these matters can be chosen from what other states have reached via permissible experimentation, experience, and research.

-     The educational policy is for developing the Islamic mentality and the Islamic Nafsiyyah (disposition). That is why all of the subject areas that is needed to be taught should be based on this policy.

-     The objective of education is to form the Islamic personality and provide people with the sciences and networks related to life's affairs. So, the educational techniques are made to achieve this objective and prevent all paths straying away from this objective.

-     There should be a distinction made in education between experimental sciences, inclusive what is related to it such as Mathematics, and cultural studies. Experimental sciences and what is related to it will be taught as per need, and is not tied to any level of the educational levels. As for cultural studies, they are taken in the primary levels before the higher ones according to a specific policy that doesn't contradict with Islam and its rules. As for the higher levels, these studies are taken just like science as long as it doesn't lead to straying away from the educational policy and its objective.

-     The educational curriculum is one, and no other except for the state's curriculum is allowed. No indigenous schools will be stopped as long as it is restricted to the state's curriculum, established on an educational plan, and committed to achieve the educational policy and its objective. As such, education should not allow mingling between males and females neither among students nor teachers, and it shouldn't side with a specific sect, religion, Madhab (school of thought), ethnicity or color.

-     The state preps the libraries, laboratories and all types of information outlets outside schools and universities to grant a chance to those who would like to pursue researches in different paths of knowledge such as Fiqh, Hadith, Tafsir, Islamic thinking, medicine, engineering and chemistry, and engage in invention, discovery and others, so that there can be a huge group of Mujtahideen, innovators and inventors in the Ummah.

O Muslims, O Teachers, O Students: We, at Hizb ut Tahrir, sincerely invite you to work towards the system that Allah (swt) is pleased with to lead your life and He bestowed it to organize life's affairs in governance, economics, sociology, education, and health in accordance with His Rulings under the shade of His state... The state of Khilafah "Caliphate", which will care about you in the best way, will defend you, will safeguard you and your family, will protect your blood (from being spilled unjustly) and your wealth in order to live decently with dignity, respect, and tranquility. In this way, you can gain Allah's (swt) pleasure and you enjoy His blessings in live and in the Afterlife.
