The Israeli aggression on Gaza and its residents may have temporarily been suspended but what is dismal is the ephemeral activism of Muslim countries every time Gaza starts burning in fire. Whenever an offensive is stared against Palestinian people our governments gear up to parrot the mere shibboleth of condemnation against a aggressor hardly doing any pragmatic think to undo the Zionist plots. As long as this weakness of Muslim world persists, the sporadic outbursts of condemnation alone would not suffice to assure the safety for Palestinians in their land.
ILKE foundation for science culture and education has decided to not let this issue end in smoke. To keep raising the claim for a free Palestine and a peaceful place for Palestinians ILKE is organizing another online panel discussion on Monday, May 31, 2021 at 18:00 Istanbul time (15:00 GMT | 11:00 EST).
The event will be aired live at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMA10U9O2jY
A rich panel of popular voices on Palestine issue will join the debate from different countries. Following speakers will share their thoughts with us in tomorrow's program.
