The
United Arab Emirates has condemned in the strongest possible terms the
reprehensible terrorist criminal act in the West Bank in which the young
Palestinian child, Ali Dawabsha, was burned to death, saying that the act was a
crime that had caused feelings of revulsion around the world.
In
a statement to the Emirates News Agency, WAM, the UAE Foreign Minister, H.H.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, said: "This crime is a dangerous
escalation of the terrorist acts being carried out by the Israeli colonists on
the West Bank against the Palestinian people, their land and their places of
worship, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces. It is
absolutely essential that the necessary pressure is placed on Israel to respond
to the crimes of the colonists in a very serious way ."
H.H.
Sheikh Abdullah called on the international community to shoulder its
responsibilities in this matter, in order to ensure that Israel does not feel
that it is insulated from and is above international humanitarian laws and
conventions and that it can continue its terrorist actions unpunished.
"The
racialism and hatred that has been demonstrated in this crime against an
innocent infant and his family is the natural outcome of Israeli terrorist
practices and is the outcome of a long series of continuous attacks against
unarmed Palestinian civilians," H.H. Sheikh Abdullah said.
"This
crime," he added, "is the natural by-product and result of the spread
of Israeli colonies in Palestinian territories. It is the result of and a
symptom of the brutal racialist culture of the colonists that is directed
against the Palestinians, against women,children and unarmed civilians, this
being carried out under the protection of, and with silence from, the official
Israeli establishment."
"No
credibility whatsoever can be accorded to the official condemnations of this
act from the Israeli Government," H.H. Sheikh Abdullah said. "The
legal framework, the judicial practices and the activities of the Israeli
security establishment are the basic components of the racialist system of
occupation. It is absolutely essential that the international community should
pay serious attention to the need to demonstrate that Israel cannot avoid
punishment for such crimes." –End-
