Israel must come under international pressure to end the occupation Palestine and allow Palestinians to return their homes. Like apartheid South Africa, the world must show international Solidarity with Palestinians and impose sanctions and economic boycott on Israel so that it is forced to concede to a just and lasting solution with Palestinians. Palestinian must be given its freedom Mirwaiz said.

Leading a massive rally, during which thousands of people participated, after Friday prayers at historic Jamia Masjid, Mirwaiz termed the silence of Muslim world over Palestinian issue as a tacit support for Israeli acts, adding, the Palestinian issue was not only restricted to the people of that country, but the emotions of entire Muslim Ummah were attached with the issue. He stated that instead of silence, Muslim countries should adopt a solid foreign policy to deal with Israel and free the Palestinians from the shackles of slavery.Mirwaiz said when Gaza is not subjected to Israeli bombing and artillery shelling it is still facing a state of siege and suffering a more silent type of war. Gaza is under a continuing blockade and state of siege for years now.People on this occasion shouted slogans against UN and OIC for their criminal silence over the on going carnage in Gaza.

Earlier addressing a Friday gathering, Mirwaiz stated that criminal silence of world community including UN, NAM, OIC and other organizations against the Israeli oppression on innocent Palestinians, killing of women and children was a cause of concern and regret. He stated that the unilateral aggression by Israelis on innocent Palestnians was a highly condemnable act, adding, the silence of the world was even encouraging the Israelis to go for a mass murder of Palestinians.Like Palestinians, Mirwaiz stated that Kashmiris too were subjected to interminable suppression. he said every heart in Kashmiris beats for the Palestinians cause and they can’t remain silent on Israeli sponsored terrorism on palestnians. He stated that both the Kashmir and Palestinian issues are present on UN agenda from past many decades and till these issues are not solved I'm accordance with the wishes of its people ,peace economic prosperity and stability would not return to South Asia and Middle East Mirwaiz presented a resolution before thousands of people to stop attacks on gaza, expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people, recognizing the rights of oppressed Palestinians, and observing the coming jumait-ul-vida as Youm-e-Qudus and Youm-e-Kashmir.
