The full text of the letter is as follows:
Dear Ambassador,
I hope you are in a good health and well-being. For as much as being in good health and well-being is the most important thing these days.
As you know, the war in Palestine is at the top of the world’s agenda. The attacks of Israil which have been going on for 75 years and have been increasing for nearly four months are the main topics of this agenda. We think that just as we as human have been deeply affected by Israel's genocidal brutal attacks on the Palestinian people during this period, so you have been affected by them. Everyone can lie and anything can mislead, but the map showing the lands of Palestine since 1948 never lies or misleads. As a matter of fact, the maps clearly show that Israel is an invader by constantly usurping the land. We hope that these attacks will be stopped; peace will be achieved as soon as possible and global community, particularly the Palestinians, will have the right to live in peace on their own lands.
So why are we writing this letter to you? It is to remind you that your country remains silent about the crime against humanity committed by Israel, disregarding all kinds of international law by using its own excuse as a reason. It is obvious that Israel cannot win this war against people who are devoted themselves to victory or martyrdom. At this point, we believe that starting to make efforts to achieve peace without wasting time will save you and your country from being remembered as a partner of this genocide.
The Leader of Milli Görüş (National Outlook) and the 54th Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey, Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan's words are very meaningful. “Our case is Islam. Not everyone has the chance to work for this cause. Whether you work day and night or not, you can neither advance nor delay the success of this rightful cause. The whole question is what kind of test we will give in this honorable cause.” As stated above, the case of Islam and Quds is a righteous case and the winner will definitely be our Palestinian Muslim brothers. On that day when even a particle will not be lost, whatever you have done self-evidently or invisibly for this jihad will be revealed to you.
While babies, children, women and innocent civilians are being continued to be killed brutally, we regrettably witness that nothing has been done to help the mujahideen win in this war. As educators, we express that if this situation continues like this, the economic and social problems that your country will experience by indirectly supporting Israel will be very insignificant compared to the remorse that your children may later experience as the recipient of accusations of "a genocidal partner of the Israeli oppressor."
As you have witnessed, the fact that all the people of the world, whether Muslim or not, accuse and curse Israel clearly shows that this war will definitely end up against the occupation forces. Taking these patient warnings of global community into consideration will be beneficial for all the countries of the World in particular for your country. Peoples have done their part properly for more than three months. While the prayers of sincere people in these rallies and marches bring victory to the Hamas mujahideen's jihad in the way of Allah, the inability of Islamic countries to make effective decisions increases the courage and the violence of the invader killer scoundrels.
There is something missing; the missing is that administrators should take action in accordance with the wishes of the people. Now it is turn of the state administrators you represent. In addition to individual boycotts by the public, Muslim countries should launch effective embargoes in every field, especially trade, starting with the occupying Israel, then the USA, the EU and other countries that support Israel. Another option is to file or support a lawsuit against Israel, like South Africa. If these are not done, waiting for the manifestation of Verse 24 of Surah At-Taubah will be the greatest helplessness. “Say, [O Muhammad], "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear decline, and dwellings with which you are pleased are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and jihad in His cause, then wait until Allah comes with His judgment. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people." (Taubah – 24)
We believe that you will not be in any doubt to fulfill this historical and humanitarian responsibility for the salvation of the whole World in particular of your own country.
