The military aggression on Palestine has unveiled the real face of Israel which is at the forefront of State Terrorism in the world, Jammu & Kashmir Kisan Tehreek (JKKT) general secretary Ghulam Nabi Malik said at a protest rally in Anantnag on August 9. Addressing the rally, Malik strongly condemned Israel’s military aggression in the Gaza strip, and said it is not the military strikes alone that are killing innocent Palestinians including defenseless women and children, but Israel is also prohibiting supply of essential commodities to Gaza, which is aimed at committing genocide of Palestinian citizens. Malik also slammed the approach of the United Nations Security Council which, he said, under the influence of the USA did not bother to pass a resolution condemning Israel. “The criminal silence adopted by many dictatorial countries in the Arab world also deserves an equal condemnation as their creepy silence has exposed their tacit support to Israel’s barbaric aggression,” he added. The Jammu & Kashmir Kisan Tehreek (JKKT) leader said the heinous aggression in Gaza would have dangerous repercussions for the entire Middle East. The latest ceasefire efforts by Egypt to end the hostilities were a half-hearted exercise which has further vitiated the situation in the region. It is lamentable that the Arab countries, especially Egypt, have failed to stop the Israeli aggression and its illegal blockade on Gaza. “It is a simple war crime for which Israel should be taken to International Court of Justice,” he said. Earlier, hundreds of JKKT activists took out a march in the city, in protest against Israeli atrocities on innocent Palestinians. The rally was also addressed by senior JKKT leaders Gh Rasool Ganie, Ab Khaliq, Mohd Afzal Parry, and youth leaders Arshid Hussain Baba and Ab Rashid.
