Statement of Condemnation: ISRAELI ATTACKS ON FREEDOM FLOTILLA HUMANITARIAN AID

Muslim Youth are urged to condemn Israeli raid on the Freedom Flotilla humanitarian aid

1. As have been widely publicised, the Freedom Flotilla has come under attack by the Israeli armed forces. Israeli aggressors have boarded the capital ship Mavi Marmara and open fire resulting in 9 volunteers dead and more than 30 others seriously injured. Mavi Marmara is one of the 7 strong flotilla enroute to Gaza to deliver the much waited material aids to the besieged people of Gaza.

2. Over 540 volunteers from over 40 countries are on board the capital ship Mavi Marmara. Their participation is purely humanitarian in nature.

3. All the objectives and movement of the flotilla is in compliance with the UN Security

Council Resolution 1860 (2009) and all relevant maritime regulations. Resolution 1860 statedamong others:

a) Appeal for deliverance

of humanitarian aid to Gaza including food, fuel and medical

assistance.

b) Urge efforts to ease passage and other mechanisms for the unimpeded deliverance

of aids.

c) Call for all nations to support such efforts at the international level to alleviate the

dire humanitarian and economic situation in Gaza

d) condemns acts of agression and attacks on civilians and all forms of acts of terrorism.

4. The flotilla is laden with 10,000 tonnes of material aid. Over 540 volunteers are on board Mavi Marmara, including Parliamentarians, academics, journalists, scholars, an infant less than a year old and a senior citizen over 80 years old. No weapons were brought in this flotilla even for self defense which testifies to the wholly humanitarian nature of the mission.

5. Based on these facts it is very clear indeed that Israel has violated international laws. Whatmore the raid took place in international waters and on an unarmed aid ship on a humanitarian mission. Israeli rash action deserve a worldwide condemnation in the strongest possible term.

6. We appeal to the Muslim Youth in Australia under the banner of brotherhood and humanity to take few actions condemning Israel for the murderous aggression on a peaceful flotilla whose objective is to deliver aid to the beseiged people of Gaza, among others:

a. Attend the peaceful protest and rally: 4 June Friday at 3.30 PM- Victoria Square, Adelaide

b. Write to our own Foreign Minister and other politicians, community and other religious leaders and demand action, compassion and a more balanced approach towards the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs

The Hon Stephen Smith

c. Write to newspaper/magazines and post comments. Help create awareness of what really happening in your facebook and blogs.

d. Donate to the Palestinians people, releasing their daily life burden after the three years blockade by Zionist-Israeli.

e. Conduct talks, Friday sermon, lecture and other programs for public awareness on the danger attacks to Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Palestinians people.

f. Pray for the struggle and Muslim unity, may Allah bestow us and all Muslim the strength to liberate Al-Aqsa.

7. We call for the UN to convene an emergency assembly to pass a strong resolution against Israel and to summon Israeli leaders to the international court of justice for crime against humanity.

8. We call upon the Muslims from all walks of life to express their utmost concern of the grave situation and to be ready to respond to any need for action and calls for our support in dealing with the incident.

9. We appeal to all political leaders, NGOs and all Muslim to join together in coming to the aid of the volunteers.

10. We also call upon every strata of the society to continue to supplicate and pray for the

success of this mission and the safety of the volunteers from further untoward incidence.
