DECLARATION OF THE YOUTH OF MALAYSIA
We the youth of Malaysia,
Appalled by the extremely disproportionate and
destructive measures taken by the terrorist state of Israel in
response to the capture of three of its soldiers by the freedom
fighters of Gaza and Lebanon, when the Israeli regime has itself
captured, kidnapped and incarcerated thousands of Palestinian
freedom fighters and civilians;
Moved by the deaths of hundreds of innocent men, women
and children and the injuries to thousands of defenceless others
caused by the terrorist forces of Israel;
Dismayed by the deliberate bombing and destruction of
homes, offices, hospitals, infrastructure and communication and
other facilities in Gaza and Lebanon by the terrorist forces of
Israel;
Horrified by the blatant capture and imprisonment of
democratically elected and legally appointed members of the
Palestinian cabinet and other officials in violation of
international law and norms; and
Alienated and embittered by the conspiracy between Israel
and the United States to prolong the wanton death and
destruction by rejecting appeals for a ceasefire by the
international community,
Hereby
Condemn in the most absolute and unequivocal terms the
terrorist and inhumane actions of the armed Israeli forces that
are seriously aggravating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and
precipitating a humanitarian disaster in Lebanon;
Demand that the terrorist state of Israel cease all
military attacks and provocations against the people of Gaza and
Lebanon, lift its blockade and withdraw all its terrorist forces
from Gaza and Lebanon;
Call upon the United Nations Security Council, in
particular the Permanent Five members, to be worthy of the trust
and responsibility placed upon them by the global community and
pass a resolution imposing an immediate and unconditional
ceasefire, to be enforced by an international force;
Further call upon the United Nations Security Council to
pass a resolution allowing the international community to extend
urgent humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza and
Lebanon;
Urge the conflicting parties to enter into negotiations
for the exchange of captured and imprisoned personnel;
Insist that Israel release, immediately and unconditionally, all
elected Palestinian cabinet ministers and officials; and
Appeal to the international community to extend all
assistance to the people of Gaza and Lebanon and the swelling
refugee population to enable them to survive and recover from
the humanitarian crisis.
We the youth of Malaysia, call upon all good people everywhere
and all nations that respect and uphold international law, human
dignity and justice, to join us in common cause and end this
decimation of a people and annihilation of a country by the
terrorist state of Israel.
