Afghans condemn Israeli attacks on Palestinians, call for immediate halt

Hundreds of Afghans once again expressed their solidarity with the people of Palestine and strongly denounced the ongoing Israeli barrage in Gaza Stripe on Saturday.

Gathered in a historic Blue Mosque in Kabul, speakers described Israel attacks as barbaric and called on the international community to help stop the aggression.

"Killing innocent civilians including women and children by Zionist forces is an open violation of human rights and deserve strong condemnation by the international community," one of the speaker stressed in his speech.

Assembled in a chilly and snowy day, while cordoned off by police, several persons announced their readiness to fight for the people of Palestine.

"I am ready to go for Jihad (holy war) and fight against the Zionists in Israel," 19-years-old Ahmad Tamim said.

The demonstrators by issuing a nine-article resolution called on the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) to force Israel stop cruelty in Gaza Strip.

This is the third demonstration held against Israeli onslaught in Gaza Strip.

Thousands of Afghans by holding similar peaceful processions in Kabul and Herat demonstrated their sympathy with the people Palestine on Friday.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai in December has described the ongoing Israeli attacks against Palestinians in Gaza Stripe as barbaric and strongly denounced it.
