In this discussion, I have mentioned writers who have sought justice for Palestinians. Most of these writers are non-Muslims. Two of them – Chomsky and Pinter – are of Jewish background.

Rokeya's land was under British colonialism and Palestinian women's is under Israeli occupation. During Rokeya's time the anticolonial struggle in Bengal was gaining strength; and for many decades Palestinian women have rejected Israeli land confiscation policies through mass resistance and struggle. Therefore, Rokeya's and Palestin

Conscience demands that human beings promote justice for all. Hypocrisy happens when they are dictated by bias and stereotypes and follow a form of lifeboat ethics — fairness to in-group as opposed to out-group members. Our sense of humanity beams when we are able to demonstrate an egalitarian attitude to all. Conversely, it gets corrupted when w
