Quraysh agreed to boycott Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib until they handed over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to them, and they wrote a charter and hung it in the Kabah
Quraysh came together to boycott Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib. They wrote a charter in which they agreed not to marry among them, nor buy or sell with them, nor sit with them, nor mix with them, until they handed over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to be killed. Then the charter was hung inside the Kabah, and Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib were confined in the Valley (shi'b) of Abu Talib.

It represents a severe stage of collective trial for the Muslims and the Prophet's family ﷺ before the gradual relief and then the Hijrah.
In the seventh year after the Prophetic Mission: Quraysh agreed to cut off ties with Banu Hashim unless they handed over the Prophet ﷺ to them, and they wrote a charter to that effect and hung it in the Kabah.
When Quraysh failed to stop the call to Islam, it agreed to punish Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib together. It cut off social and economic dealings with them, and demanded that they hand over the Prophet ﷺ. So it became a severe siege that lasted for years.
The increase in Quraysh's harm to the Muslims, its failure to stop the call to Islam, and the steadfastness of Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib in protecting the Prophet ﷺ.

If collective decisions are built on injustice, they turn into a charter of aggression.

A modern event should be compared to it only in the basic idea of trial and pressure, not in its historical details.
The Prophetic event took place in the context of revelation and a call supported by Allah, whereas the modern one has different legal and social conditions.
Do not let intellectual or da'wah differences become a cause of collective injustice or unlawful siege.
