This is to express deep gratitude to you for your kind support and solidarity with the people of Palestine in their just and heroic struggle to achieve justice, peace and independence. I am grateful for the Nov. 1, 2000 Dalit Voice Editorial, (“DV welcomes West Asia War: Western muscle-money power vs. Spirit of Islam & jehad“) and the clear stand it is taking in support of the inalienable rights of our people. The holy land of Palestine and its people are confronting a barbaric aggression by the occupying army of Israel killing over 180 innocent young unarmed civilians and wounding over 8,000 of them. This crime against humanity as described by the resolution of Human Rights Commission (19.10.2000) deserves the condemnation of all friends and freedom and peace-loving nations. The people of India have all stood with the just cause of Palestine. I am confident that this shall continue until occupation ends on our land and until peace and justice prevails over the land of peace, Palestine. The need of hour is to stop this genocide, insure the protection of the Palestinians and restore to them their rights in return, self-determination and statehood. I am confident of your continued support and solidarity. Please accept the assurances of my highest consideration.
