Punish Israel: Iran Jewish community

Iran’s Jewish community has slammed Israel’s deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid Flotilla, calling for the punishment of the “criminals” responsible for the attack.

“Tehran’s Jewish community condemns the inhuman act of the Zionists in attacking a non-military Flotilla,” a statement from the Tehran Jewish Community read Tuesday.

“On behalf of Iran’s Jewish community, we firmly demand serious international action to punish the criminals and measures to prevent such catastrophes,” the statement signed by the country’s top Jewish religious and community leaders added.

On Monday, Israeli commandos attacked a convoy of humanitarian aid bound for the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, killing at least 20 activists and wounding dozens more.

The Freedom Flotilla, a convoy of nine ships, was seeking to break the Israeli-imposed blockade on the impoverished coastal enclave.

The attack on the defenseless ships has triggered an international outcry, with Israel’s allies across Europe freezing military ties with the regime and summoning its ambassadors.

Earlier on Tuesday, Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Opressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei blasted Western powers for hypocrisy in their support of human rights.

“Zionism is a new and more aggressive face of fascism which is this time supported by governments claiming to be advocates of freedom and human rights with the US above all,” Ayatollah Khamenei said in a statement.
