The Palestinians of Turkey Conference called for mobilizing support for the oppressed Palestinian people and for armed resistance in the face of the Israeli occupation.
A memorandum dispatched by the Palestinians of Turkey Conference to the official and popular Turkish parties stressed Palestinians’ right to self-defense by all means available.
The letter dubbed the anti-occupation vehicle-ramming attack carried out by 28-year-old Fadi Kunbur in Occupied Jerusalem a legitimate form of resistance and a justifiable reaction carried out by an oppressed people.
The letter added that the operation took place in Occupied Jerusalem a city that has been grappling with Israeli terrorism and Judaization schemes for over 37 years.
The letter was released shortly after the Turkish PM Binali Yildirim extended his condolences to the families of the Israeli occupation soldiers who died in the attack.
“The most staggering kind of terrorism manifests itself in the colonization of a given people and the infringement of their rights to freedom and justice” the memorandum read.
“Seen from this lens resisting terrorism by all means emerges as the most dignified of all acts and one which should garner our support and pride” it added.
The conference denied the remarks made by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the attacker’s affiliation with ISIS.
The memorandum lauded the steadfast Palestinian people saying: “There is no such thing as ISIS in Palestine. This is a mere Israeli propaganda to harm the reputation of the legitimate Palestinian resistance in the face of the Israeli occupation”
The letter spoke out against the “simmering Israeli terrorism” perpetrated against the Palestinians via land grab misappropriation of sacred places of worship and the violation of human rights.
