Israeli atrocities in Lebanon & Palestine barbaric: Iran officials
Lebanon-Israel, Politics, 7/26/2006

An Iranian statement said today that the aggressive measures of Israel in Gaza and Lebanon are against the international laws.

The statement by Iran's New Zealand embassy said "It is with great sorrow and deepest concern to witness two weeks of death and destruction brought by the barbaric Israeli regime through constant bombardment of the civilian targets and Lebanon's infrastructure as well as atrocities in Gaza."

"Regrettably, all this is happening with the unconditional support of US and another permanent members of the United Nations. These atrocities which are in clear violation of the International Laws and Conventions and have caused hundreds of deaths, numerous injuries and displacement of thousands of civilians, tearing Lebanon into shreds, and reversing it at least for fifty years," the statement added.


International Community, United Nations and other International bodies responsible for the global peace and security stand at their lowest level of morality by silently allowing all these tragedies happening, it said.

The Embassy strongly condemns the disproportionate use of force nd the death and destruction caused by Israel in Lebanon and Palestine, and asks for their immediate cessation.

Middle East crisis is the result of six decades long injustice, deprivation and tyranny resulting in the deep anger and frustration of its population. No military might, excessive use of force or bullying can resolve this problem and will only add to the complexities of the situation. There will be no solution and durable peace unless legitimate rights of the Palestinians, Lebanese and other nations of the region are fully recognized, fulfilled and respected.

"Embassy calls on the peace loving and independent nation of New Zealand to raise their voice against this grave tragedy, ask for an urgent end to the bloodshed and also show their generosity to the people of Lebanon and Palestine by contributing to the international relief funds and other agencies announced for the injured and displaced people of Lebanon and Palestine."
