* * *ZINASU Condemns the Israel Attack on Gaza- bound Aid Ships* * * Zimbabwe National Students Union, (ZINASU) would like to join the concerned human rights activists in denouncing the brutish supremacist and inhuman attack on the Gaza- bound aid ships by Israel troops at Flotilla yesterday the 31st of May 2010. ZINASU also castigates in the strongest of terms, Israel’s blockade against Gaza and the subsequent harassment and killing of more than 20 innocent aid workers under the guise of fighting terrorism. ZINASU warns that, for far too long, Israel has been allowed to commit serious and regrettable violations against the Palestinians, Lebanese and the people of Gaza through sporadic and ephemeral rocket and missile attacks that have undermined all efforts towards building lasting peace in the Middle East. Despite Israeli efforts to justify its ruthless actions, ZINASU believes that the attack was barbaric and least expected of Israel in the wake of the need for urgent humanitarian assistance for the suffering people of Gaza. It is in this vein that we urge the International community and in particular the United Nations (UN) to take tougher and strong punitive measures against the Netanyahu administration for its blatant violation of International law and its provocative tendencies. ZINASU will continue to give meaningful and unwavering solidarity to the oppressed people of Gaza for their steadfast resilience in defending their state against Israeli aggression Finally, we call upon the Sothern African Students, All African Students Union (AASU) and the International Union of Students (IUS), to condemn this inhumane attack and to lobby for the Israelite government to free the waters for the uninterrupted passage of such aid. *For and on behalf of the Union* *Comradely* *Terrence Maoneke* *ZINASU Acting Secretary General* *ZINASU National Office * 348 Hebert Chitepo Harare Phone: +263 913 965 419/+263 912 241 370/+263 913 725 723 E-mail: *[email protected]* -- You are subscribed.
