The New Zealand Muslim community are shocked at the
blatant and belligerent actions committed by Israeli forces
in the ongoing and intensifying violence used against
Palestinian civilians and the destruction of the sanctity of
the Al-Aqsa Mosque, considered one of the holiest sites in
Islam.
“It is a great tragedy and disgraceful that
the United Nations, other international institutions and
world powers have given such a lukewarm response - remaining
largely silent on Israeli’s bloody and completely
unwarranted actions. Actions which show a total disregard
for international human rights. Israel has lost its moral
compass and any sense of human decency” said FIANZ

New Zealand Muslims are calling on the NZ Government to impress upon the Israel Government to immediately stop harassing and attacking Palestinian civilians attending the prayers at Al Aqsa Mosque during this holy month of Ramadhan.
So far, 50 Palestinians have been arrested and over 100 have been injured since the belligerent Israeli occupying forces have started this violent campaign against the innocent Palestinian civilians especially during the Ramadhan period.
The Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand (FIANZ, the umbrella organisation for New Zealand Muslims), expressed its deep concern about the unprovoked Israeli attacks perpetrated by the right-wing Israeli settlers.
“The Palestinian civilians were exercising their legitimate right attending special prayers at Al Aqsa Mosque during this holy month of Ramadhan and resting outside the Damascus gate,” said FIANZ President, Ibrar Sheikh.
