ISRAEL IS ONCE AGAIN ENGAGED IN WAR CRIMES IN GAZA, WORLD IS SILENT

Published: 02/03/2008

The Ramadhan Foundation totally condemns the Israeli aggression and oppression being carried out in Gaza, with over 70 people dead, many children and innocent people there is a quiet silence from the international community which is deeply flawed and worrying.

There can be no justification for the continue oppression and discriminate killing that is carried out and we urge the international community to speak against this evil and ensure that the voices of innocent Palestinians are not silenced.

Israel has engaged in war crimes, what purpose is served by killing women and children?  The Israeli's must recognise that their continued occupation of Palestinian land is the sole reason why there is instability in the region.

Mr. Mohammed Shafiq, Director of the Foundation comments:

"I am horrified and saddened by the deaths of many innocent people including women and children in Gaza, it is once again clear that Israel is engaged in committing war crimes and we strongly condemn these actions – we send our deepest condolences and prayers to those that are suffering in Gaza.

The Ramadhan Foundation urges the international community not to remain silent and condemn these crimes and urge the Israelis to stop their occupation and continued oppression of the Palestinian people.

We must all stand up against this evil, whatever our faith or background."
