Panakkad Syed Sadikali Shihab Thangal, Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) State president, has called Israel a “terrorist nation” for its massacre of the hapless Palestinian people in Gaza in the wake of the Hamas attack on October 7.
He was opening an event organised by the IUML on the Kozhikode beach on Thursday to extend support to Palestine.
The Thangal said the Palestinian people had been resisting the invasion attempts by Israel since 1947. “Their land, properties, everything is being taken over and they are displaced from their land. Resistance has been their oxygen for long. A well-known Palestinian poet has described his people as dead bodies that breathe,” he said.
