PTI slams Israel’s Gaza aggression

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf has condemned the Israeli massacre of Palestinians in Gaza which left over 600 people, including women and children, dead and thousands others injured.

In a press statement issued here on Tuesday, PTI Chairman Imran Khan said it was absolutely shameful how Israel had been allowed to transgress all international laws and violate basic human rights enshrined in the UN charter and the world powers were also doing nothing to stop Tel Aviv.

Mr Khan said that Israel had indulged in state terrorism against the people of Gaza and abused the principle of self-defence enshrined in Chapter VII Article 51 of the UN charter.

Mr Khan strongly criticised leaders of Muslim states whose silence he said was inexplicable and inexcusable.

“Egypt’s refusal to allow medical assistance to go into Gaza and to prevent fleeing Palestinians from entering the safety of its borders shows the moral bankruptcy of the Arab leadership today,” the statement said.

It quoted Mr Khan as saying that the US and European leaders had also exposed their hypocrisy by defending Israeli massacre of Palestinians in Gaza.

Why doesnt Imran Khan slam his face towards Pakistan's real problems instead? The most important of which - terrorism - he served to promote himself by serving as self-appointed taliban minister of propaganda.

If Muslims are not united, Israel will attack and kill the innocent Palestinians having support of USA. UN has failed to make it presence felt as it could not restrict the Israeli massacre of Palestinians in Gaza which left over 600 people, including wo

Does Imran Khan have something new in his politicking besides SLAMMING EVERYTHING------- he keeps slamming and slamming and things everywhere get from bad to worse ----- he slams the leaders in Pakistan, he slams the leaders in international arena. He slams every opportunity and then blames others and the blame game goes on whether It is voting in Pakistan, shooting in Middle East, Killings in Pakistan four provinces and the Middle East ---- Imran Khan the GRAND SLAMMER like the US BASEBALL ---- slamming on three fronts simultaneously. ALLAH HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES and not KEEP SLAMMING OTHERS and then BLAMING others.

Imran and Eurdogan, if they were both in power at the same time, they probably would have been able to do something for the Palestinians. Those so called "Arab leaders" and the KINGS with their Kingdoms are the most useless humans history has ever seen.

Friends condemning friends right of self defense purely for the consumption of emotional Pakistani public. Must have obtained green signal for a delayed statement from a powerful Jewish family of the United Kingdom.

Imran Khan is 100 percent right to condemn the naked Israeli massacre and genocide of the hapless and helpless Palestinian civilian population in the on-going aggression at the besieged city of Gaza. However, my heart and soul weeps to inform him that in the powerful U.S. led and Jewish financed world of today, who cares? At the same time, the so-called heads and administrations of the 58 OIC countries are just acting like puppets of the Jews and the current U.S. administration. What a great tragedy?
