Hezbollah slams silence over Judaization
[Iran Press TV Latest] Lebanon's Hezbollah has condemned the international community's silence over Israel's attempts to Judaize Jerusalem (al-Quds). Tel Aviv continues to erect new homes in the occupied Palestinian territories -- especially in the East Jerusalem -- right before the watchful eyes of international bodies, the movement said in a statement released on Friday. It added that Israel is using Jewish settlers to implement its policy of changing the demographic feature of Jerusalem, seeking to turn the third-holiest Islamic city into a "Jew only" region. Hezbollah also urged all Muslim nations, the Islamic Conference Organization and other concerned regional and international groups to do their utmost to pressure Israel into ending the Judaization of Jerusalem. Israel has already ordered a large number of Palestinians to evacuate the city, in an attempt to uproot the Arab residents and replace them with Jewish settlers. According to Palestinian sources Israel has in recent months begun constructing thousands of new Israeli homes in Palestinian territories in breach of the United Nations Security Council resolutions. East Jerusalem (al-Quds) is widely viewed as the capital of Palestinians' future state. Posted by: Fred 2009-06-13 |
