Shabir Ahmed Shah urges would leaders to help stop genocide of Palestinians in & around Gaza

SRINAGAR, Nov 12 (SABAH): Incarcerated Hurriyat leader and Chairman Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party Shabir Ahmed Shah has urged the world leaders to play their much needed role to halt the Israeli aggression and genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

In his message from Tihar jail, the incarcerated Senior Hurriyat Leader Shabir Ahmed Shah said that the bloodbath of the besieged Palestinians was a great challenge to the world conscience.

“It is high time that the influential world governments must shun their policy of indifference towards the Palestinians and come forward in a big way to stop this bloody onslaught and genocide to which hapless Palestinians are being subjected to,” Shah said, adding that allowing Israel to carry on the slaughter of innocent men, women and children in and around Gaza would be a great human tragedy.

Calling for an immediate intervention to stop this Zionist aggression against the Palestinians, he said, the world in particular the Muslim countries must  take concrete steps to end the bloody siege and mount political and diplomatic pressure on Israel to stop relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip – including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship.

Shah said that the inaction on the part of international community would be tantamount to grant a free license to Israel to kill Palestinians.

Terming Israel’s naked aggression against Palestinians as a flagrant violation of the international law, he said that it was quite unfortunate that the Zionist regime has broken all records of barbarism and brutality.

Drawing parallels between the Palestine and Kashmir issue, Shabir Ahmed Shah stated that the people of both the states have suffered enormously at the hands of colonizers. He said that peace in South Asia and Middle East was inescapably linked to the settlement of these age-old issues.
