Statement on the Gaza Conflict - The holocaust of
Palestinians - Friday 11th Safar1430 /6th February
2009
Hizbul Ulama UK is extremely concerned at the barbaric
attacks on the Palestinian people. We view the deaths of over 1300 people,
including over 500 children killed in front of their parents, the demolition of
villages and towns, the targeting of schools, cutting down orchards and farms
along with the imposition of an in-human economic blockade are acts of terrorism
and a continuing holocaust of Palestinians.
The occupation of
Palestine by Zionist colonisers is an affront to humanity and we deplore the
denial of legitimate Palestinian rights. We note that historically
Palestine has always been a homeland of Palestinians for more then 2000 years
and it should remain so. The upholding of the legitimate rights of the
ingenious people of Palestine is the duty of all Muslims and continued pressure
must be brought to end the illegal occupation by Zionist forces of the
Palestinian people and their land.
This latest chapter in the
on-going war only serves as a reminder to Muslims worldwide and also to those
non-Muslims who supported the Palestinians, that the depravity of the attacks on
the Palestinian people by the Zionist army knows no bounds. We pray for
the Palestinian people, for their liberation, for their livelihoods and for
their health. Ameen. Please donate aid and other help as required to
relieve their suffering.
