Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, said: “The time has come to protect the Palestinian people, wherever they are, and to stop the permissibility of their lives, land, property, capabilities, rights, and legitimate freedoms. It is time to hold Israel, the occupying Power, accountable for its successive and escalating crimes against humanity and human rights.” Her statements came on the occasion of the 38th anniversary of the Sabra and Shatila massacre, which was committed with the complicity and protection of the Israeli army under the leadership of “Ariel Sharon” at that time against thousands of innocent civilians and unarmed Palestinian refugees in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon in 1982 and led to the martyrdom of more than 3000 Palestinian refugees. She said, “the Palestinian refugees are the victims of the establishment of the state of Israel on the land of Palestine, and they are also victims of the compound and complex injustice inflicted on them by being without protection and being targeted by the occupation state and its partners.” To check the news, click here.
