Government Urged To Take Actions Regarding Attack On Al-Aqsa Mosque, Asked To Continue Pressing UN To Give Strict Sanctions For Israel

JAKARTA - The chairman of the DPD RI, AA LaNyalla Mahmud Mattalitti, reacted strongly to the Israeli army attack on Palestinian civilians who were praying at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, April 15 yesterday. At least 59 Palestinians were victims in the incident.

LaNyalla said Israel's actions clearly cannot be justified. He also asked the government to urge the United Nations to impose strict sanctions on Israel.

"Israel's actions are clearly unjustified. I urge the government to take immediate action to pressure the United Nations to impose sanctions on Israel," LaNyalla said in a written statement, Saturday, April 16.

"It is very difficult to worship our brothers and sisters in Palestine. The government should continue to pressure the United Nations for the crimes committed by the Israeli army against Palestine," he continued.

The senator from East Java assessed that Muslims have always been cornered. The crime of inversion or reversal of conditions often attacks Muslims.

Of course this is often the basis for Islamophobic behavior. "Muslims are the victims, but it is Muslims who are cornered and must be responsible for the existing conditions," he said.

He also called the Israeli army's crimes against Muslims as a chain message to Islamic hate groups to continue to carry out inversions. A kind of Islamic propaganda is perpetrators of violence, terror and acts of anarchy.

"This paradigm is unhealthy. In the long term it will become a ticking time bomb that has the potential to ignite civil war," said LaNyalla.

He admitted that it was not easy to fight for the rights of Palestinians. But as a colonized nation, LaNyalla fully supports the Palestinians to maintain their homeland.

"The world agrees that there will be no more violence, oppression and colonialism on this earth. Therefore, in the name of justice and independence, Israel must receive the appropriate punishment for every action against Palestinians," said LaNyalla.
