Moroccans Urge Government To Criminalize Normalization With Israel
29 November 2017PIC And Agencies
Dozens of Moroccan activists on Wednesday evening took to Rabat's streets,
urging their government to take a firm stance against normalization with the
Israeli occupation.
The rally, staged by the Moroccan Coalition to Support Palestine and Resist
Normalization (NGO), dovetails the International Day of Solidarity with the
Palestinian People, marked on November 29.
The rally-goers chanted slogans and lifted banners condemning the Israeli
crimes against the Palestinians.
They further called on the Moroccan parliament and government to issue a law
criminalizing all forms of normalization with Israel.
"The centenary of the notorious Balfour Declaration . . . 100 years of
colonization . . . 100 years of resistance," read a banner raised at the
rally, reminding the world of Britain's historical responsibility over the
tragic fallouts of the pledge.
The rally comes just a few weeks after Israelis took part in an event held in
Morocco, sparking furor in the country, with activists saying the event
contravenes Morocco's anti-normalization decision passed some 17 years ago. In
2000, Morocco shut the doors of the Israeli liaison office in Rabat.
Moroccan group calls for giving heed to Palestinian tragedy
The Moroccan Commission for Advocating the Nation's Causes has called for
drawing the world's attention to the aggravating humanitarian suffering of the
Palestinian people under occupation and Israel's ongoing crimes against them.
This came in a statement released by the commission on the occasion of the
International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, which is observed
every year on November 29.
"This occasion has come as the conditions of the Palestinian are constantly
deteriorating as a result of the oppressive occupation's persistence in
imposing its control over all areas of Palestine and assaulting its people and
holy sites…amid shocking international silence," the commission stated.
The commission stressed the importance of taking advantage of this annual
event to highlight the suffering of the Palestinian people at home and abroad
and draw the world's attention to their growing tragedy as a result of their
exposure to systematic killing, displacement, detention, blockade and other
violations against their lands, property and holy sites.
The commission strongly denounced the international silence on Israel's crimes
in Palestine and called on the Moroccan people to organize events and
activities in solidarity with Palestine throughout the country and actively
participate in them.
