Short Link:
Al Mezan Center was shocked by the terrorist act which resulted in terrible civilian losses and would like to emphasize that nothing can justify an act of violence of this kind or indeed any terrorist act.
We condemn any such terrorist attacks and particularly those aimed against innocent civilians.
Al Mezan Center would like to send its condolences to the families of the victims of the attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
The Palestinian people are very capable of understanding their suffering and sense of loss as we have been victims of systematic terrorism for more than fifty years.
We, however would like to warn that Israel has taken this opportunity to perpetrate more acts of violence and terrorism against defenseless Palestinian civilians now that the attention of the international community is busy with the events in the United States.
We call for justice and to uproot terrorism.
In this we would like to include the terrorism perpetrated by the state of Israel.
This can only be achieved by correcting the attitude of the United States towards this conflict in the Middle East.
We would like to again emphasize our sadness at the suffering of the victims and express our condolences to their families.
