AL JAMA-AH condemns the attack on the Madleen Aid Ship which is carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza:
Al Jama-ah Party strongly condemns the cowardly attack by the Zionist Israeli Defence Force on the Madleen Aid Ship which was carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) confirmed that the Zionist military force’s attack on the Madleen who has on board 12 human rights activists including the dedicated and determined climate activist, Greta Thunberg. Israeli military drones have poured white paint on the boat and dangerous quadcopters have been circling above the flotilla during the night.
The International Court of Justice has ruled that the rogue Zionist Israel must not stop humanitarian aid into Gaza. “But like the world watched the Zionist entity’s genocidal attacks on Palestinians, so too it has been looking on how it breaches the International Court of Justice orders and maritime laws. This is a direct violation of international maritime law,” says Al Jama-ah’s leader Hon. Ganief Hendricks.
The Madleen has been sailing under a British flag obliging the UK government under international law to protect the Madleen from unlawful foreign interference. But all of us witnessed today that this did not stop the despicable Zionists from not allowing it to dock in Gaza.
And as expected, the pariah state’s forces not only apprehended the team of human rights activists but had literally kidnapped them; and the party’s assumption is that they are probably being intensely interrogated for this just cause; this is an atrocious act that they are known for. They have arrogantly done so with thousands of others in Palestine and those supporting the just Palestine cause for years.
Al Jama-ah Party condemns in the strongest terms the wilful detention of these humanitarian activists. This pariah state and its callous regime are in breach of international law and it only underscores that these state terrorists’ actions (that is seizing of the Madleen) is their way of stopping aid to reach Palestine’s Gazans. And the implications are that these Zionists deliberately wish to starve the communities (that is, men, women and children) to death showing the world that they can murder, maim, and massacre who and when they want with impunity!
Let us not forget that the ICJ has found the pariah state’s political and military leadership and their support structures guilty of genocide; on top of that, they have been guilty and responsible not just of war crimes but adopting a deplorable apartheid system that the Jewish scriptures and pro-Palestine Jewish groups condemn.
In essence, they should not call themselves – they have no right – ‘Jewish’. Judaism, as many pro-Palestine groups have articulated around the globe, has nothing to do with Zionism; and the latter should be viewed as an evil, loathsome ideological construct that should be destroyed in our country and elsewhere in the world since it is an anti-Semitic force that has no moral standing in our global village
