Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, described Netanyahu’s speech as disgusting in a shameful session of the US Congress, which accepted to host and give a platform to the war criminal Netanyahu, who is committing crimes of genocide, ethnic cleansing, collective punishment and starvation in Gaza as reported in the Jo24.net website.
Barghouti added that the civilization he speaks of led to the martyrdom of 48,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including 17,000 children, amputation of the hands and feet of 1,200 Palestinian children and the displacement of two million Palestinians after the demolition of their homes.
He said: “This is not civilization, but decadence.”
Barghouti said Netanyahu’s speech was full of lies, even surpassing the Nazi propagandist Goebbels, especially when he claimed that Israel was delivering aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip while the whole world know that is a lie.
“Unfortunately, the US Congress witnessed a disgusting speech by Netanyahu in a shameful session in support of a war criminal, which was boycotted by honorable American representatives who are not subject to the Israeli lobby’s money, and thousands of supporters of the Palestinian struggle demonstrated against it, including thousands of American Jewish protesters who refuse to support Israel with weapons and who call for the freedom of Palestine.”
Barghouti pointed out Netanyahu has made himself and Israel a symbol of reactionism, fundamentalist racism, and a barbaric colonial mentality, and has practiced dangerous propaganda to spread Islamophobia.
Barghouti warned of the danger of Netanyahu’s plan of what he call “the next day for Gaza,” which includes “continuing the aggression against Gaza, maintaining the Israeli occupation there, establishing an entity that is an agent of the occupation…and continuing to use normalization with Arab countries to liquidate the Palestinian issue and restructure Palestinian consciousness to submit to the occupation.”
Barghouti stressed confronting Netanyahu’s vision would be through the rapid implementation of what was stated in the Beijing Declaration, especially the formation of a national reconciliation government that would foil Netanyahu’s tricks and plans and consolidate the unity of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem,” he concluded.
