GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) “Let Christmas celebrations be global occasion to intensify all forms of global solidarity, activism with Palestine, pressure to stop Zionist aggression on Gaza,” Hamas Movement said in a statement on Tuesday evening.
It added, “We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) call on the free peoples of the world, marking the Christmas, to translate their celebrations into mass action against the genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement committed by the Zionist occupation against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip over the course of 15 months.”
Hamas concluded its statement saying, “Let these celebrations be a global occasion to continue and intensify all forms of rallies in the capitals, and cities’ squares across the world, to express rejection and condemnation of the ongoing Zionist aggression on Gaza, and to exert pressure on the occupation and its backers until this brutal war against more than two million Palestinians in Gaza stops, and to protect humanity from the evil of the occupation that threatens humanity and international peace and security.”
Israel has been waging a bloody war on Gaza Strip for the past 15 months killing and injuring almost 154,000 Palestinian citizens, most of them women and children (60%), other than thousands missing amidst vast destruction to infrastructure and buildings in the beleaguered enclave and a man-made famine that killed dozens of children and elderly.
