The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign is today calling for the immediate cessation of all hostilities in Gaza by Israeli Defence forces following the massacre of 40 innocent people at the United Nations school in the Jabaliya Refugee Camp.
Describing the attack on the school as a gross violation of international law and a war crime Betty Hunter from the UK’s leading Palestinian support group, the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign said: ‘For 11 days the Israeli Defence forces have brought carnage to the lives of millions of innocent Palestinians in Gaza. So far they have killed nearly 600 hundred people and injured over 3000. The mass slaughter of over 40 people at the United Nations school in the Jabaliya Refugee Camp shows that this is not a war against Hamas, but an attack on every person living in Gaza.
They Israeli Defence force must stop all military operations now to save the lives of all innocent people living in Gaza.’
