GAZA, (PIC)-- The Palestinian anti-siege campaign has accused Friday the international community of participating in the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip as it remained silent all this time while 1.5 million people living there were being starved for more than three years.

In a statement it issued in this regard, the campaign stressed that the best response to the unsolicited international passiveness was to hold hundreds of popular rallies across the world that would draw hundreds of thousands of participants.

The campaign also called for intensifying the boycott campaign against the Israeli occupation that “practices all forms of racism against our Palestinian people”, and denying them the simplest human rights.

Furthermore, the campaign noted that the report of more than 16 NGOs in Europe, including the amnesty international and the Oxfam among other groups proves that the international conscience has started to wake up after decades of silence.

It also welcomed that call of Richard Falk on all concerned parties, particularly the countries that supports the Zionist entity, to completely implement the recommendations of Goldstone, and to end the siege on Gaza.

“It is about time for the international civil society groups to raise their voice louder and to put more pressure on their governments to abide by the international laws and the principles of democracy and human rights”, the campaign underscored, stressing that silence on the part of the international community was no longer acceptable.
