Bangalore: The Muslim community in Bangalore held a peaceful demonstration condemning Israel’s attacks on Palestine on Sunday July 27.

The protesters said that Israel’s attack did not even spare women and children, and the United Nation was “turning a blind eye” towards the ongoing crisis, they alleged.

The state president for Human Rights Council of India, Mohammad Farman addressed the agitators during the protest.

He urged the UN to take a stringent action against the terror, the cruelty, the massacre that is being carried out in Gaza by Israel.

Further he questioned, as to why  America and other western Nations are not taking any action.

International calls for a ceasefire have grown as the death toll has mounted in the worst flare-up of Israeli-Palestinian violence in almost two years, sparked by the murder of three Israeli teenagers and revenge killing of a Palestinian youth, he said.

Meanwhile, protesters are demanding a boycott of Israel and shutdown of the country’s embassies and consulates in India.

Moreover the protestors demanded the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the President of India and the External Affairs Minister should condemn the Israeli occupation and condemn Israeli operation in the strongest of terms.

Israel began air strikes on the coastal strip on July 08, saying it wanted to halt missile fire from Gaza by Hamas militants and launched a ground offensive last Thursday. The number of Palestinian deaths in the 18 days of conflict has been put at 822, most of them civilians.
