Sri Lanka Committee for Solidarity with Palestine demands Israel halt genocidal aggression
COLOMBO – The Sri Lanka Committee for Solidarity with Palestine on Monday (8), demanded the immediate cessation of military action by Israel, noting that it is the aggression that prompts the defensive armed actions by the Palestine people who continue to suffer militarized colonial occupation.
In a statement issued on Monday, decrying the latest military action on the Gaza Strip by Israel, the Committee termed the sustained criminal aggression against the long-besieged Palestinian nation a genocidal crime against humanity and called on the United Nations and the world community to act urgently to stop the continuous massacre of Palestinians by Israeli occupying forces.
The statement in full:
The blatant aerial bombing of the Gaza Strip of Palestine by Israel over the past few days is a continuation of the violent colonial occupation of Palestine by the racist Zionist regime. The total death toll rose to 44 citizens as at August 8, including 15 children, with 253 civilians wounded, according to the Ministry of Health of Palestine.
The Sri Lanka Committee for Solidarity with Palestine demands the immediate cessation of all military action by Israel. Israel’s aggression is what prompts the defensive armed actions by the Palestinian people who continue to suffer nearly a century of militarized colonial occupation.
This sustained criminal aggression, against a long-besieged Palestinian nation forced to live in small areas of what was originally their native homeland, is a genocidal crime against humanity. All states that militarily support Israeli apartheid must also be held complicit with these genocidal atrocities.
The Committee calls on the United Nations, under whose auspices the state of Israel was established, to impose punitive sanctions against Israel for its perpetration of racist apartheid and genocide against the majority ethnic Arab population just as the UN did against apartheid racism in South Africa.
The world community, led by the United Nations, must act urgently to stop this continuous massacre of Palestinians by Israeli occupying forces.
