"Israel is a terrorist state..." M A Baby, Kerala CPI(M) leader, defends Hamas attack

M A Baby, a Politburo member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), supported Palestine and called Israel a "terrorist state." He said that the Hamas attack was simply revenge for what Israel had done previously. According to the former Kerala Education Minister, the Narendra Modi government has taken a 'unilateral approach' on the Israel-Palestine conflict, contradicting Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru.

"Prior to the recent incidents, Israeli strikes on Palestinians killed 248 people this year, including 40 children." Every day, at least one Palestinian is killed by Israeli armed forces. "However, the media ignores the fact that the Hamas strike is a form of retaliation against Israel," Baby continued.

"If you call Hamas a terrorist organization, you must also call Israel a terrorist state." "The time has come to recognize Palestine as an independent country with East Jerusalem as its capital," Baby told reporters in New Delhi on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) Politburo strongly condemned the strikes and counterattacks between Hamas and Israeli forces.

"Many human lives have already been lost, and the situation is poised to worsen, resulting in even more deaths and misery." This conflict must come to an end. "Israel's most right-wing Netanyahu government has been indiscriminately occupying Palestinian lands and establishing Jewish settlements in the West Bank," claimed a politburo press statement.

In response to a barrage of rocket attacks in southern Israel by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas on Saturday morning, the Israeli Army launched 'Operation Iron Swords' in the Gaza Strip hours after declaring war. According to sources, Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has declared an Official Declaration of War, signaling the start of a major onslaught against Hamas in Israel's southern territories and along the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, Israel has activated over 10,000 Reservists to supplement the country's defense forces.
