Bearing graphic posters of slain Palestinian children, people forming part of the Palestine Solidarity Network urged the world to open its eyes and not to ignore the brutal Israeli aggression against the population of Gaza.

The Israeli violence against Palestine, the Network said, has been going on for the past 66 years, with Palestinians having been disposed from most of their homes and lands in the process.

For all these reasons, it continued, should the Maltese government support Israel's bid for a seat in the UN Security Council, it would be committing a terrible mistake.

"Israel's repeated disregard of UN resolutions and its continuous acts of terror towards the Palestinian population, make it completely unfit to have such a seat.

"Moreover, we call onto the Malta government to take a clear stand against Israeli aggression and not simply condemn 'violence' in the Middle East, since this is clearly a case of Israel being the oppressor and Palestinians those being oppressed."
