Social media is busy discussing the surprising statement from Muhammad Iqdam Kholid or Gus Iqdam, a young preacher from Nahdlatul Ulama (NU).
Gus Iqdam recently became controversial after discussing conditions regarding Palestine.
This statement was first shared via the Instagram account @frix.id.
With full confidence, Gus Iqdam said that during his trip to Palestine, he found a feeling of security and comfort.
He also saw the peaceful and different conditions in Palestine as reported in the media.
“The issue in the media about Palestine is like that. It's safe, it's safe, it's okay. People come home intact. Nothing is lost. It's safe and comfortable there,” said Gus Iqdam when speaking at an event.
Furthermore, Gus Iqdam said that his trip to meet Palestinian religious figures went smoothly.
He also discussed that the Israeli army guarding Baitul Maqdis did not oppress Muslim people.
This statement annoyed netizens.
“Actually, the invitation to visit Baitul Maqdis is very good… But the statement that Palestine is doing well, this will make Muslims in Indonesia, especially the NU congregation, skeptical of what is happening in Palestine as a whole,” commented the netizen.
“In the Baitul Maqdis area, maybe that's possible, but what's going on with the crowd being attacked at GAZA,” said another netizen.
“Palestine is not just the west bank, there is a feeling, a friend of mine in Ramallah on the west bank has also been affected by the Israeli Zionist aggression,” said an annoyed netizen.
