London, (PIC)-- The Muslim Association of Britain issued a statement on Saturday calling for a halt of "the criminal massacres in the Gaza Strip," which came after a " scandalous siege of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli Occupation"
"After the scandalous siege of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli Occupation that began more than one year ago from which hundreds of innocent children, women and elderly have perished, notwithstanding the other forms of human suffering, Israel has today carried out simultaneous barbaric air and ground attacks on the besieged territory leaving in its wake 205 dead and more than 400 injured in addition to the widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure," the statement read.
"This brutal and criminal attack on the Gaza Strip, the most densely populated part of the world, would result in an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe if it is not brought to an immediate end. We call upon all Muslims with their institutions, official and popular, and the free people of the world and civil society bodies to take urgent steps to force the Israeli Occupation and those who have influence over them to stop this savage crime and the impending disaster.
"Commenting on the attacks President of the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), Dr Ahmad Al Rawi said, ‘What the Zionist Occupation has done today constitutes a flagrant crime against humanity, against a defenseless people who do not have the most basic means to defend themselves in the face of the Israeli killing machine. He added, ‘the attack on Gaza is by all standards a blatant violation of international law and affront to all standards of human conduct. We call upon the world community to bring the Zionist war criminals to justice before the International Criminal Court.’
" Al Rawi called upon Islamic organizations in Britain and civil society bodies to demonstrate their unreserved solidarity with the Palestinian people by providing all forms of humanitarian assistance and support and protesting against the barbaric Zionist campaign. The MAB urges the British government to condemn in unambiguous language the Israeli war crimes. Finally we urge the European Union and international community to adopt whatever measures are needed to end Israel’s criminal aggression."(palestina-info)
