Stop killing Palestinians including children and women
Israeli air strikes killed 200 people and injured 1,200 while 2,500 made homeless so far
The army said about 3,100 rockets had been fired in the past week from Gaza — the highest rate ever recorded — but added its Iron Dome anti-missile system had intercepted over 1,000. it seems that this bombing campaign causing wide spread destruction will not end soon as the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced to continue the air attacks on Gaza.
Some 3,100
rockets have also been fired by Palestinian fighters toward Israel since the Israeli
aggression begun on May 10. The Israel started air attacks using warplanes and
drones to silence the palestinian resistance groups in Gaza. Israel first
launched brutal attacks against Palestinian in Al-Aqsa mosque and East Jerusalem
and when Hamas fired rockets towards Israel then Israel started bombing.
Israeli
bombardment of Gaza has displaced 38,000 people and made 2,500 homeless, the
United Nations says. It has also battered infrastructure in the enclave, with
the electricity authority on Monday warning it only had enough fuel left to
provide power for another two to three days.
On Saturday,
Israel gave journalists from Al Jazeera and AP news agency
an hour to evacuate their offices before launching air strikes, turning their
tower block into piles of smoking rubble.
The renewed
strikes come a day after 42 Palestinians in Gaza — including at least eight
children and two doctors, according to the health ministry — were killed in
the worst daily death toll in the enclave since the bombardments began.
ONCE more,
Palestine is bathed in blood, its people left to mourn and carry the tiny
coffins of its children. While some would classify the current violence as a
‘conflict’ between Israelis and Palestinians, it is more of a one-sided assault
on the Palestinian people by Tel Aviv’s war machine.
The Western
governments are silent on these crimes against humanity. However, thousands of
conscientious people across the world, including in Europe and the Americas,
have taken to the streets to denounce Israel’s ruthless barrage.
Meanwhile,
the self-declared champions of human rights keep trumpeting their view that
Israel has a right to ‘self-defense’. This includes the Biden administration
and many in Europe. In fact, Austria had raised the Israeli banner ‘in
solidarity’.
One wonders
whether the right of self-defense allows a country to butcher toddlers and the
disabled, as Tel Aviv has done in Gaza. Moreover, Israel on Saturday bombed
a Gaza building housing the offices of Al Jazeera, the Associated
Press and other media outlets, an act the UN secretary general says
“violates international law”. It was a blatant attempt to silence the media. It
is no secret that Israel is not happy with Al Jazeera coverage on Gaza.
And what of
the Muslim world? It is evident that the collective consciousness of the vast
majority of Arab and Muslim states died a long time ago. As Palestinians
bravely face Israeli terror, the OIC and Arab League are doing little other
than issuing statements. Those Arab states that only recently made public their
relationship with Israel have done little to convince their friends in Tel Aviv
to stop their butchery.
The
targeting of civilians anywhere is unacceptable. But Israel has been murdering
non-combatants for decades, and getting away with it thanks to its powerful
patrons. The US is protecting Israeli war crimes and mass murders.
