Iranian MPs condemn "Israeli" atrocities

IRNA, 10-7-2006
An overwhelming majority of Iranian legislators, in a statement issued on Sunday, condemned the ongoing atrocities of the "Israeli" regime against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and lashed out at international organizations for their silence vis-a-vis the inhuman acts of the Zionists.
In their statement, 210 parliamentarians lambasted the United States and other western nations for their support to the Zionist regime that neutralizes any effort to end the Palestinian crisis.
"International organizations should be made to realize that their silence will discredit their efforts and jeopardize international security," MPs said in their statement.
They also urged Islamic governments to come out with a united denunciation of the "Israeli" attacks on Palestinian targets in the Gaza Strip and other areas of occupied Palestine.
The parliamentarians further called on the Organization of the Islamic Conference to hold an extraordinary session to discuss the matter.
"We, members of parliament, call on all parliaments standing for human rights in the world, particularly those of Islamic nations, to immediately take necessary measures to stop the genocide of Palestinians. We call on parliamentarians worldwide to pressure international organizations to help stop the "Israeli" attacks and support the rights of the oppressed people of Palestine and the Hamas-led cabinet," they said.
The MPs also called on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Majlis Speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel to call an extraordinary meeting of officials of Islamic governments and parliaments.
