Syed Hamid backs call for Israel to be tried
KOTA TINGGI: Israel should be tried at the war crimes tribunal for committing state terrorism.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said that Israel’s actions in Gaza went against the Geneva Convention.
“There is no justification for the excessive killing of innocent civilians,” he said after launching the gotong-royong programme at Kampung Sentosa in Tanjung Sedili yesterday.
He also called on all Islamic countries and those who believed in peace, to rally together and oppose Israel’s atrocities.
“We must all unite and start a mass movement in going against Israel and those who support them.
“America must also take responsibility as they are condoning Israel’s attacks on Gaza,” he said in echoing the call by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for the United Nations to set up a war crimes tribunal against the Israeli government for its “primitive killing” of Palestinians.
