No other people in the history of human race have ever faced as much suffering as the Palestinians who are left to live with the indignity of being reduced to refugees in their own land, observed noted poet Balachandran Chullikkad.
He was delivering the inaugural address at the Palestine solidarity meet organised by the All India Peace and Solidarity Organisation here on Thursday.
Palestinians cannot be equated with people of other nationalities since they are a nation-less people. While 80% of the Palestine land, well over the 55% assigned by the United Nations, has been encroached upon by Israel, the remaining 20% also remains under the control of the Jewish State, said Mr. Chullikkad.
