Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] general secretary Sitaram Yechury said here on Thursday that the Palestinian people’s right to have their homeland was being snatched away by a gigantic imperialistic conspiracy as evident from the war unleashed on them by Israel.
Israel’s intent is to eliminate Palestinians and deny their right to a homeland, he said at a meeting organised by the CPI(M) Ernakulam district committee against the escalating attacks against Palestinians following the Israel-Hamas conflict.
“World leaders are rushing to Israel to express their solidarity with Israel, saying that Israel has the right to self-defence. You cannot target the entire Palestinian population for the attack carried out by Hamas on October 7,” he said.
