AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): "Labaik Ya Zahra" Institute of England issued the statement in condemnation of assault on oppressed Palestinians.
The full text of the statement is as follow:
In the name of the God
The world should understand that attacks from Israel have been taking place upon the Palestinian people for the last 70 years and there has been no one to speak up for them or defend them. We condemn all unlawful killing, yet a single attack on Israel, and people are up in arms saying enough is enough, These attacks have been labelled as terrorist, when terrorist attacks have been taking place in Israel for the last 70years.
The land should now belong to those people who are connected to it and related to that land. The Palestinians should have a right to live in their own homes on their own land in Palestine and not have their homes bulldozed and illegally occupied, and Israel has to give up this illegal occupation All the members of LYZ condemn oppression from the LYZ platform , wherever in the world it is taking place, and most especially we condemn the gut-wrenching oppression that is taking place in Palestine right now.
Colonisers over the course of history have been very quick to label their colonised subjects as sub-human, and use that as a justification to treat people as animals, whether this has been the fate of the Aboriginal people, the American Indians, the Mauris, the Africans, the Palestinians.
The purpose of occupation is to wipe out the indigenous population from the land they exist on -not only wipe out but destroy and torture and dehumanise through ethnic cleansing. This is illegal under international law, and we standby the law of humanity.
The United Nations Security Council has in Resolution 446 determined:
"that the policy and practices of Israel in establishing settlements in the Palestinian and other Arab territories occupied since 1967 have no legal validity'.
When the Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989, 5 days after half a million people gathered in mass protest, this was seen as a sign of liberation around the world; as was the abolition of segregation in the US, and the end of apartheid in South Africa: and all these regimes have been recognised around the world as having been backward, inhumane, cruel and oppressive.
We call for an end to the killing of innocent women and children, an end to this mass genocide movement, an end to the ethnic cleansing of the people of Palestine, an end to the bulldozing of homes, an end to apartheid and segregation, an end to mass incarceration of the innocent, an end to occupation and colonisation, and a return to humanity for the Palestinian people.
We call on the governments of the international community to take action to immediately stop the atrocities that are currently taking place, and to ensure that the rights of the Palestinian people, enshrined in International law, are adhered to.
