- Motion text
Congress strongly condemns the Israeli invasion in Gaza. Over 1300 children and women were massacred and over 5000 people were seriously injured. Indiscriminate killings, attacks and destruction of educational institutions, UN properties, hospitals and infrastructure in Gaza amount to crime against humanity.
Congress strongly condemns the use of banned substances, white phosphorus and depleted uranium on defenceless people.
The Congress strongly condemns the BBC and much of the Western media for biased reporting of the atrocities committed against civilians by the Israeli Army. Also the UN and countries that vacillated and allowed the army time to destroy the infrastructure of Gaza.
Congress demands:
Ending of apartheid and lifting of all barricades in Gaza
Recognition of the democratically elected Gaza government
Establishment of Free Independent Palestine
Respect for human rights in Palestine
Stop killing of defenceless Gazans
Israel tried for human rights violations
Lasting peace in Palestine.
