Nawanshahr- Today, the Anti-Fascist Attacks Front, District Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar, held a protest in Nawanshahr against the visit of Israeli Finance Minister Bejazil Smotrich to India. Earlier, addressing a gathering at the local bus stand, leaders Kulwinder Singh Waraich, Jasbir Deep, Harpal Singh Jagat Pur, Kuldeep Singh Durka, Jaswinder Singh Bhangal, Jujhar Singh Kukkad Majara and Hari Ram Rasulpuri said that Bejazil Smotrich has led the Israeli delegation to sign a bilateral investment agreement with the Indian government.
Smotrich belongs to a very right-wing racist party. Which is occupying the Gaza Strip by forcibly displacing the Palestinian people in the Netanyahu government. He is also a major proponent of proposals to annex the occupied West Bank. The leaders said that Israel’s racist and expansionist Netanyahu government is committing genocide against the Palestinians. The Israeli army has reduced Gaza to rubble.
The army has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children. The Israeli army is forcing Palestinians to starve and die without treatment by blocking the flow of rations and medicine. The number of disabled people in Gaza has reached several thousand. In protest against the Israeli aggression, several countries have banned his entry, and some of them have also imposed other restrictions.
These countries include the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Norway, the Netherlands, Slovenia and New Zealand. The leaders said that it is a matter of great shame that the Modi government has hosted such a person and signed agreements with the Israeli government. That too at a time when the people of Gaza are being massacred every day.
This action highlights the deep and firm ties the Modi government has built with the Netanyahu government and its involvement in the horrific genocide going on in Gaza. The speakers demanded that the Indian government cancel all military, security and economic cooperation with Israel, grant complete independence to Palestine, stop military attacks on Palestinians by Israel, and end the siege of Palestine.
