In a Monday meeting with Iraqi Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jabouri on the side lines of the 11th session of Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (PUIC) in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, Larijani expressed regret that Muslims have so far failed to fulfill their responsibility with regard to Palestinians in Gaza, which has been under an Israeli blockade for more than eight years.
"Under these circumstances, it is necessary that a group [of member countries] of the Islamic Inter-Parliamentary Union travel to Gaza and deliver Muslim countries' humanitarian aid to the Palestinians," said Larijani.Gaza Strip has been under Israel's blockade since June 2007. The crippling siege has caused a decline in living standards as well as unprecedented levels of unemployment and unrelenting poverty.
Israel launched its latest war on the Gaza Strip in early July 2014. Nearly 2,200 Palestinians, including 577 children, were killed in Israel's 50-day onslaught. Over 11,100 others - including 3,374 children, 2,088 women and 410 elderly people - were also injured.
In his meeting with the Iraqi official, the Iranian parliament speaker further expressed satisfaction over the current security situation in Iraq, parts of which are controlled by Daesh Takfiri terrorists. He further underlined the necessity of unity and solidarity among different Iraqi groups. The Iraqi parliament speaker, for his part, expressed hope for the settlement of differences between regional countries.
Gruesome violence has plagued the northern and western parts of Iraq ever since Daesh Takfiris launched an offensive in June 2014, and took control of portions of Iraqi territory. The militants have been committing vicious crimes against all ethnic and religious communities in Iraq, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds and Christians. The Iraqi army and fighters from Popular Mobilization Units are engaged in joint military operations to win back militant-held regions.
"All or nothing"? Yes, I believe even psychopathic Israel would be forced to bend under the weight of that determination. The World would have to concede, do we stand by whilst Israel annihilates the whole Nation of Palestinians, the rightful residents of these ancient homelands, or do we finally intercede to kick Israel into the twenty first century.The World has been complicit in this struggle for too long, we have taken too many Israeli pieces of gold and shekels, and, to their everlasting shame, this includes all other Arab and Muslim States World wide. I for one would like to hear the protestations and arguments all other Arab and Muslim states will advance to explain or justify, their lack of action to support Palestinian justice; lets call upon them to speak and explain. Do not use the excuse relating to Israeli possession of nuclear weapons, that is irrelevant, especially if the World will unite against this Israeli oppression; will they "nuke" the whole world? Also tell me this, which Nation will they occupy next? and, where will they stop? Read their history of pronouncements over the last one hundred years; read their religious texts, they see themselves as the "chosen" race, and everyone else exists either to "serve" them or be dead. Now think where have you heard those teachings before. Israel must be brought down to Earth, so it must be "All or nothing".All Peace negotiations are a farce simply used to punctuate the periods of Palestinian death and destruction.
