State terrorism

Published April 21, 2022

THE Israeli attack on worshippers in Al Aqsa compound is the worst kind of state terrorism. Ever since the Zionists have illegally seized and occupied Palestine, they have been perpetrating oppression and brutalities against the Palestinian Muslims.

The Jewish state has demonstrated appalling monstrosity and cruelty by attacking those offering prayers in the mosque during the holy month of Ramazan. The Israeli occupation forces have given a clear message to the world by seriously injuring more than 150 innocent and helpless Palestinian Muslims in a pre-planned operation that they are willing to go to any horrendous lengths to carry out the genocide of Palestinian Muslims.

The fact of the matter is that while Israel has crossed all limits in its enmity towards Islam, it is extremely regrettable that Muslim states still appear to be ready to ‘improve relations’ with the illegitimate Zionist entity. All Muslim countries must join their hands in totally boycotting and sanctioning the occupiers of the holy land in order to force them into isolation.
