United States Taking Sides With Israel In Conflict With Neighbouring Palestine For Close To Eighty Years.
The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) Said that it is disappointed with the United States for taking sides with Israel in its conflict with neighbouring Palestine for close to eighty years.
According to its usual dishonourable way, the United States has openly and shamelessly taken sides with Israel in spite of its brazen and incessant aggressions and massacre of the Palestinians for about eight decades now,” the council said in a statement jointly signed by Prof. Salisu Shehu, Deputy Secretary-General and Yunus Ustaz Usman, SAN, National Legal Adviser.
The council said it was unfortunate that the United States has fallen short of the humane values of justice, freedom, security and protection of life that it always purportedly proclaims.
“As we all have blood flowing in our veins and share a common humanity, to pretend that the frustration of Palestinians and the silence of the world to their suffering and oppression will not lead to aggression is to stand logic on its head.
The statement reads in part, “The recent attack on Israel by Hamas -an original creation of Israel which was turned against it by conscience- was just a ring in a long chain of incidents that should have been addressed given that actions and reactions are always in a state of flux.
“We should also remember that Israel staged the coup against the democratically elected Hamas in Palestine. When people are pushed to the wall, they fight back and that was what Hamas did. However, an all-out war and complete siege on two million defenseless people is atrocious, abhorrent and unjustified.
The Council commiserates with the people of Palestine on the huge losses they have recorded before and during the current war and calls for immediate ceasefire.
The world, beginning from the United States to the rest of those who turn a blind eye to the Israeli atrocities, should wake up to the fact that all humans are equal and justice is the best guarantor of peace. The two-state solution appears a mid-way out, though still not totally just to the Palestinians,” the statement reads in part.
We also pray for peace, justice, security and humanity in the world because violence is an evil wind that blows no one any good.
