ALU Condemns the Zionist Aggression on Gaza Strip and Considers it to be a Genocide

Arab Lawyers Union (ALU) stresses that the complete paralysis of Gaza Strip by the Zionist occupying authority, through blocking fuel provision to Gaza strip which resulted in the suspension of main power generators, bakeries, factories, labs and hospitals… etc., is a genocide policy against the Palestinian people living in Gaza strip and an unprecedented collective punishment policy in the history.   ALU condemns not only that the American stance rejects to criticize Israel for its current aggression on the strip but also the American administration's consideration of the aggression as a self defense.   Such stance contradicts completely with the international law and the decisions of international legitimacy; especially the resolutions of both the UN General Assembly and the Security Council.   ALU calls upon the Arab and international community at all levels to promptly move to lift the siege imposed on the Palestinian people, stress their right to life and try those responsible for the policies of genocide through the international mechanisms where the ICC comes at the top of the list or through any ad hoc tribunals approved by the Security Council.   There should be an end to the double measure policy and submission to the American hegemony and its biased policies with the racist Zionist entity.

ALU affirms as well on the necessity to call all the high contracting parties to the Geneva conventions signed in 1949 to impose international protection for the occupied Palestinian territories to enable the Palestinian people to practice their legal and inalienable rights represented in their right to return, self determination and the establishment of an independent state where Jerusalem is the capital.
