In his statement, the front man and activist Bono recognized the Hamas attacks from Hamas on Israel for the first time, in which around 1,200 people with 251 were hosted, and wrote that “the rape, the murder and kidnapping of Israelis at the Nova Music Festival were angry. more and more to do with the equally innocent civilian life in Gaza. ”
According to the United Nations, in which the Hamas Ministry of Health quoted Gaza, over 61,000 Palestinians were killed on Friday. On Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved a plan to take over the city of Gaza City.
“When did a just war to defend the country to defend the country into an unjust country gripper? I hoped that Israel would return to reason. I made excuses for a people who was born and shaped by the experience of the Holocaust.[3]… it is an evil reading (Article seven!), Bono continued. “But I also understood that Hamas are not the Palestinian people … A people who have endured marginalization, oppression, occupation and the systematic theft of the country for decades. In view of our own historical experience of oppression and crew, it is no wonder that so many here in Ireland is fighting for justice for the Palestinian people.”
Bono then hit Netanyahu and wrote: “The government of Israel is not the nation of Israel, but the government of Israel, which is led by Benjamin Netanyahu, deserves our categorical and clear condemnation. Disability and lawlessness we see now feels like an unknown territory.”
The edge addressed his explanation to Netanyahu and asked him several questions, “in the hope of involving the conscience and reason of the people of Israel”.
“Do you really think that such devastation – so deliberately and relentlessly added to a civilian population – can be done without shame in generations about those responsible?” The lead partly wrote and ended his statement: “We know from our own experience in Ireland that peace is not created by the dominance. Peace is created when people sit down with their opponents – if they recognize the same dignity, even those that they once feared or despised.”
Bassist Clayton said: “If Israel populated the Gaza Strip, it will permanently undone any possibility of a permanent peace or a solution to hostility. For a moment for a moment, the moral of the situation forgot the technical superiority of the modern army of Israel, which bores a civilian civilian population from thousands of thousands of miles from the entrepreneur. And infrastructure?
Mullen Jr. added that Israel's reaction to the Hamas attacks on October 7 was “expected”, as well as a “floor war” and “air bombing and destruction”. However, the drummer said that what was not expected was “the indiscriminately decimation of most houses and hospitals in Gaza, with the majority of the women and children killed” being killed “and” famous “.
“The strength to change this obscenity is in the hands of Israel,” he added. “I undoubtedly support Israel's right to exist and I also believe that Palestinians earn the same right and my own condition. Non -silence does not serve any of us.”
