Press Statement
Australian National Imams Council Condemns the Barbaric Attacks and Collective Punishment against
Innocent and Defenceless PalestiniansThe international community including Australia remains largely silent as the Israeli army
offensive in Gaza killing scores of innocent people enters its fourth day; at least 100 Palestinians have died in airstrikes since they began on Tuesday.
ANIC condemns in the strongest possible terms the unfair and disproportionate military assault by the Jewish State against the Palestinian people including women and children We are witnessing the escalation of brutal aggression by the Israeli Defence Force against the innocent and defenceless people of Palestine. Australia and the International community must adopt a firm stance to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe in Palestine.
ANIC believes that the Palestinian people are being subjected to “collective punishment” for the unrealistic excuse of the kidnapping of three settlers.
ANIC reaffirms its position on condemning the alleged kidnapping and killing of the three settlers and believes that the perpetrators must be brought to justice following due process.
We call upon the Australian Government to condemn the systematic killing of the Palestinian people and to do all it can on the international level to stop the Israeli aggression against the people of the Gaza Strip. The international community must actively
intervene to stop this unjust and unwarranted aggression.
The current brutality and devastation of the Gaza Strip in particular and the region in general is a stark reminder of the atrocities that an occupation of a free nation can bring.
