Politics |
The rectors of 111 Turkish universities have published a joint declaration to support the people of Gaza and to strongly condemn Israeli war crimes.
The rectors of Turkeys universities have vigorously condemned the great tragedy of humanity happening in Gaza.
The heads of 111 universities around the country issued a joint statement on Wednesday in 11 languages, accusing the world of being deaf and blind to the plight of civilians in the Palestinian enclave.
Since Israel launched military operations, 644 Palestinians have been killed, including 164 children, 79 women and 35 elderly, according to the Ministry of Health. The Israelis have lost 31, including two civilians.
In the statement, they said: In Ramadan, the holy month of [the] Islamic world, people are having their iftar [fast-breaking evening] meal through the bombs with tears, grief and sorrow."
Unfortunately, everyone who closes their eyes to these cruel people and this kind of cruelty is a sharer of that violence.
They called on the United Nations to impose sanctions on Israel, accusing the body, as well as the U.S., EU and Arab governments, of supporting Israel and fuelling aggression.
The statement added: Although [the] UN has dozens of decisions on [the] Israeli government, it is extremely thought-provoking that [the] UN does not have any sanctions on [the] Israeli government.
The rectors announced they will build public opinion against the massacre; fund aid campaigns in all universities; sue Israel for compensation for casualties; and press for the responsible to be punished.
