A roundtable meeting titled "Israeli Occupation: Liberation Struggle and Today's Reality" was held on Tuesday in the capital Dhaka.
Al Quds Committee Bangladesh organised the programme at Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA).
Professors, researchers, politicians, social workers, journalists, writers and other thinkers were present in the meeting while President of Al Quds Committee and Chairman of Philosophy Department of Dhaka University Shah Kauchar Mustafa Abululai presided over the session.
Speakers at the event said that the illegal state of Israel was created in the Middle East in 1948 by the conspiracy of Britain and the United States. It is a poison for world humanity. They have been merciless towards the people of Palestine since their inception.
They also said it has reached extreme limits. They have killed more than thirty-four thousand women, men and children and injured thousands more in the Gaza war that began in October last year. The habitat has been completely destroyed and has turned them into refugees.
They added even the relief materials are hindered from reaching them. In this situation, humanitarian people of the world have woken up. People from all walks of life in different countries of the world are protesting in solidarity with Palestine and Israel's crimes against humanity.
On the contrary, most of the countries of the Muslim world, especially the Arab countries, are keeping silent, which is very sad. Only Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran are giving all kinds of cooperation and support to the Palestinian freedom organization Hamas. And because of this, positive reactions are being observed in other countries of the Muslim world. International organizations, including the United Nations, are trying to play a role in Palestine.
The speaker expressed optimism that if the Muslim world can forget all kinds of differences and play its proper role unitedly, then the liberation movement of Palestine will be more rapid and soon Palestine will be able to achieve independence.
