The Islamic Forum of Nigeria has condemned the United Nations, United States and the aggressive state of Israel for what it described as the ongoing carnage in which over 500 Palestinians have been killed during the five days of Israel air strikes.
The forum also condemned Arab governments, human rights organizations and world for watching while a whole country is being wiped out by Israeli aggression.
The forum made the condemnation in a statement in Kano yesterday by its national chairman Group Captain Usman Jibrin.
"For five days running, the Israel have been unleashing unprecedented air strikes against the innocent Palestinians resulting in a total casualties of about 500 lives of men and women, old and young of the defenseless Palestine", he said.
The forum said while this action is ongoing the world particularly the United Nations, the United States, European Union and of course the Arab nations remained silent over the carnage.
"The Palestine has been under the Israel siege for 60 years with the whole world watching with relative joy and amusement", it said.
