OIC, GCC denounce massacre in Gaza
P.K. Abdul Ghafour | Arab News
JEDDAH: The 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) as well as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) yesterday denounced Israel's massacre of Palestinians and urged the international community to stop this barbarism immediately.
"The latest Israeli massacre is a war crime and shows what little regard Israel has for international law and the 4th Geneva Convention on the protection of civilians in time of war," OIC chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said in a statement.
Ihsanoglu, secretary-general of the Jeddah-based OIC, the largest Muslim organization in the world, called on Palestinian factions to "begin an immediate national dialogue with the aim of restoring unity and ending divisions that grievously harm the Palestinian cause."
Ihsanoglu said he would soon call for a meeting of the OIC executive committee to discuss the situation in Gaza and urged the international community to take urgent action "to end Israeli violations and protect the Palestinian people."
In a similar statement, GCC Secretary-General Abdul Rahman Al-Attiyah called upon the international community to act quickly to stop "the heinous massacre and barbaric acts being committed by Israeli military forces" against Palestinians.
"Big powers, especially the United States, have a responsibility in this difficult times to stop the Israeli policy of collective punishment of Palestinians," Al-Attiyah said in a statement.
The GCC chief said the Israeli massacre reflected that the Jewish state had no intention to have peace. "Despite the peace initiatives, conferences and agreements between the Palestinian Authority and Israel over the past years, scenes of killing, destruction and dispelling and starving of Palestinians continue."
He denounced yesterday's Israeli bombing that killed more than 200 people and injured about 300 others.
Al-Attiyah also denounced the silence of the international community, especially the US, toward the Israeli massacre in Gaza.
"This demands quick move for an international initiative under the auspices of the United Nations to protect Palestinians." He reiterated the GCC's unwavering support for the Palestinians to restore their legitimate rights.
In Jeddah, Arabs reacted with anger.
"This is an armed aggression toward the unarmed helpless Palestinians," said Adell, a 54-year-old Palestinian working in Saudi Arabia.
"With attacks like these how can peace be possible? How can anything be discussed after this amount of people have been murdered. I urge all the Arab nations to help and aid the hopeless Palestinian people."
"We can't do anything but pray for people in Gaza," said Saudi Khalid Abdullah.
While most shared their condemnation, some felt the Hamas should be blamed as well. "Hamas should be ashamed," said one Saudi who didn't want his name published. "There is no good reason for provoking the Israeli strikes on Gaza. Their arrogance didn't solve anything; it only made it worse for the people who had been hit."
