LAHORE:
The Israeli attack on worshippers in Al-Aqsa Mosque is the worst kind of state terrorism seen to date. Ever since the Zionists illegally occupied Palestine, they have been perpetrating oppression and brutalities against the Palestinian Muslims.
The Zionist state has demonstrated appalling cruelty by attacking those offering tahajjud prayers in Al-Aqsa Mosque during the holy month of Ramazan. The Israeli occupation forces — by wounding more than 150 helpless Palestinians in a pre-planned operation conducted on holy land — have given a clear message to the entire world that they are willing to go to any horrendous length to carry out the genocide of Palestinian Muslims. On the other hand, Israeli police have lied by saying that officers entered the site after they had come under attack. They further described that dozens of Palestinians, some carrying flags of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, marched on the compound and started throwing stones and carrying out fireworks. What is lamentable is that the international community continues to believe in such rhetoric without considering the brutal oppression and genocide that the Israelis are committing against the Palestinians.
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 around the world still appear to be ready to “improve relations” with the illegitimate Zionist entity. All Muslim countries must unify in totally boycotting and sanctioning the Zionist state of Israel in order to force it into isolation.
