Jamaat-e-Islami Hind condemns killing of
Palestinians by Israel; slams shifting US Embassy to Jerusalem
New Delhi: Jamaat-e-Islami
Hind has condemned the killing of Palestinian demonstrators by Israel. More
than 60 have been martyred and over 3000 injured by the Israeli attack.
In a statement to the media issued today, President
of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH), Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umari said: “the
barbaric attack on the peaceful Palestinian demonstrators by the Israeli Armed
Forces is utterly condemnable. The demonstrations were being carried out by
Gazans against the border fence between Gaza and Israeli occupied territory
since several weeks. It acquired greater intensity following the relocation of
the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem after recognizing Jerusalem as
the capital of Israel. The number of martyrs and injured shows the complete
intolerance and cruel response by Israel towards anyone opposing and
challenging their hegemony and illegal occupation.”
Maulana Umari further said: “the
decision of the US government to shift its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
on the day of the formation of Israel goes against United Nations Security
Council resolutions and global public opinion and laws. The decision is a
disruption and threat to efforts of establishing peace in the region. We oppose
the decision as it will yield increased hatred, conflict, violence and
suffering in Jerusalem and the Holy Land, moving us farther from the goal of justice
for the Palestinians and deeper towards destructive division’’.
The JIH President appealed to the
international community to come forward for pressurising Israel to abide by all UN resolutions
regarding Palestine and stay away from violence against Palestinians. He has also appealed to the government of
India to play its role in the Palestinian freedom
struggle and condemn the Israeli aggression and violence on Palestinian
protestors.
