Western governments ‘complicit with Israeli crimes’: Palestinian politician
Mustafa Barghouti, secretary general of the Palestinian National Initiative, has condemned the deadly attack on aid-seekers as another “horrible crime” committed by Israel.
“We are dealing with a pariah state, a structure that has become fascist, run by fascists in a government that includes fascists,” he told Al Jazeera.
“These were civilians who are starving because Israel has been depriving them from food for months and does not allow any supplies to them for more than a month now,” said Barghouti. “And then they try to justify it by saying that Palestinians are responsible for being killed by the same Israeli soldiers? It’s unbelievable.”
Barghouti also decried “the silence” of Western countries and blaming their governments of being “complicit with these crimes and allow them to happen”.
“This should stop immediately,” he said. “It cannot stop without an immediate, permanent, complete and total ceasefire, without the Israeli army withdrawing from Gaza after they have destroyed it so much and after they have driven so many people, milions of people, to the edge of starvation and death from starving.”
