During the Israel-Hamas conflict, Congress MP Rajmohan Unnithan caused a stir when he declared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was a war criminal and ought to be murdered without being given a chance to defend himself during a Palestine solidarity rally in Kasaragod, Kerala.
“Those involved in war crimes were subjected to the Nuremberg tribunals following World War II. War criminals were shot killed without a trial at the Nuremberg trials. It’s past time to conduct a Nuremberg type trial. As a war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu is in front of the entire world. Given the degree of brutality Netanyahu is exhibiting, it is long overdue to shoot and murder him without a trial, the speaker declared.
He clarified that punishment should be meted out to individuals who violate every provision of the Geneva Convention. On Day 43 of the Israel-Hamas conflict has seen hundreds of deaths to date.
Everything started when Hamas, a terrorist organisation based in Palestine, attacked Israel, murdering civilians everywhere they went, including inside houses. The Israeli army has begun attacking the Gaza Strip and some areas of Palestine in response.
Israeli police said on Saturday that at least 364 people had been murdered at the Nova music festival on October 7 by Hamas terrorists, as opposed to the initial estimate of 270.
In the midst of the current Israel-Hamas conflict, the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) plans to organise a protest at Kozhikode beach on November 23 to express support for the Palestinian people. The pro-Palestine gathering will be opened by KC Venugopal, General Secretary of the All India Congress Committee.
