MAROCCO MARKS INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY FOR PALESTINE

Casablanca, 8 Shafar 1436/1 December 2014 (MINA) – A consortium of civil and human rights committees based in Morocco partook in a pro-Palestine festival held in Casablanca to support holy al-Aqsa Mosque and denounce Israel’s state terrorism.

The festival, staged under the slogan “The Appeal of al-Aqsa,” marks the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people, The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting, Monday.

Speakers at the ceremony hailed the heroism, self-abnegation, and decency of the Palestinian people.

They further paid homage to all the martyrs, casualties, widows, orphans, and prisoners who sacrificed their own lives, children, and freedom for the sake of Palestine.

“We are gathering here today to support the heroic Palestinian people,” one of the speakers said. “Israeli terrorism against the land, identity, holy places, and the people must stop. We’re sick of the world’s silence vis-à-vis Israeli genocides and violation of Palestinians’ human rights.”

Spokesperson for the organizing committees reiterated Morocco’s unyielding back-up and solidarity with the Palestinian people.

He further slammed the vandalism and crimes perpetrated by Israel’s settler gangs against Palestinian children, civilians, and holy shrines.(T/P008/P3)
