Israel’s deliberate goal is genocide against the Palestinians

 

13 November 2023, AKEL C.C. Press Office, Nicosia

The State of Israel, with the atrocities it is committing in the Gaza Strip, is writing one of the darkest pages in the modern history of humanity. The massacres of civilians and children, the attacks on hospitals and ambulances, the deaths of babies in incubators because of the electricity cuts are characteristic examples of the Israeli barbarity that puts human civilisation to shame.

It should now be obvious to everyone that the mass massacres of Palestinian civilians are not “collateral damage”, but the deliberate goal of Israel to impose ethnic cleansing and the complete destruction of Gaza. The cover being provided by the US and the EU to Israel and the Netanyahu government is complicity to genocide. The Christodoulides government, which doesn’t even dare to verbally call for a ceasefire and a humanitarian truce – as demanded by the UN and the vast majority of the world’s states – is also exposed to the judgment of history. Equally exposed are the political parties that support the government in this unacceptable attitude.

AKEL joins the millions of people around the world who are demonstrating for an end to the genocide and occupation in Palestine. In these defining moments for humanity, the right side of History is that of international law and peace.
