Over the past year, since Israel launched its genocidal war against Gaza, killing over 43,600 Palestinians, Muslims worldwide have voiced their disappointment and frustration with the OIC for its failure to effectively intervene and halt the ongoing Israeli onslaught.
They criticize the lack of consensus among the OIC member states on taking decisive action, arguing that this reflects a lack of genuine commitment to addressing the crisis and protecting the rights of those affected by Israel's genocidal aggression.
Abdulla Alamadi, author and columnist, in a post on X, slammed OIC for its inaction and made a sarcastic remark about its abbreviation, suggesting that the organization merely observes the situation without taking meaningful action.
"The Organization of Islamic Cooperation OIC meeting tomorrow comes after 400 days since the genocide in Gaza has started in front of the whole world, including the OIC members who will meet tomorrow, where nobody knows what called them to meet after all this time ?!" he wrote.
"Now I'm starting to believe the one who said that the abbreviation of OIC means " Oh, I See" !!"
"3/4 will do what the West asks them to do. A combination of inferiority complex, naivety of trusting the west and weak institutions, economies and intelligence agencies to combat western regime change operations like coups, rebellions, sanctions etc," a user on X under the handle @janm18459 wrote about OIC member states.
"More than half of these so called Arab-Muslim leaders would have taken permission from Israel just to attend this conference for face saving," wrote another user, Sheraz Bahader.
It may be pointed out that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation came into being in 1969 over the Palestine issue. After the occupation of Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War, there was an attempt to burn down the Masjid Al-Aqsa in August 1969, and there was a Summit within a month in Rabat, Morocco.
The Arab League is even older, founded in 1945 by the seven Arab states then independent, just before the end of World War II, and the 1948 creation of Israel. It would thus not be an exaggeration to say that the year that both organizations took to arrange a summit to pass a resolution condemning the Israeli aggression, seemed lackadaisical.
