The ongoing air strikes by
the Israel forces has only added more numbers to the destruction and this time more children have lost their life.
Military attacks are just one part of disturbing the lives of the Palestinians
while the upcoming Israeli settlements in Palestinian lands is destroying the
dignity of the Palestinians by displacing them on their own land.
We are surprised to observe
the silent strategy of world leaders and of those who voice out and stand for
human rights at this crucial hour. Therefore we call upon all the powerful nations in the world to look at this situation
from a human perspective.
We call upon all the people
in Sri Lanka and elsewhere to protest against the inhuman treatment the Israel
government has let loose upon the Palestine people by avoiding all economic
dealings with Israel.
At this hour we share our
heartfelt sympathy with the families of the air strike victims and all the
people of Palestine and we pray for their freedom which is being deprived to
them by Israel. We believe the divine justice will be done unto the suffering people
of Palestine at the end of the day and our hearts are with you at this
difficult hour.
We as an organization based
on Christian values we request all the Christians in the world to consider
Palestinians as our own brothers and sisters and stand together with them in
their difficult times as a way of showing our loyalty to God according to
Romans 13:10: Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the
fulfilling of the law.
