Pointing out that the world was witnessing its worst tragedy, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor alleged that Israel's response to the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack was "disproportionate," as a greater number of Palestinian people were killed in the past 19 days compared to those who lost their lives in the region since the year 2008.

In his speech, Thangal said "Israel's occupation has created Palestine conflict. They are trying to survive. They are trying to defend their land. Stop genocide killings. This conflict has started since 1947.”

“Gandhi criticised Israeli occupation. Nehru, Manmohan Singh, even Vajpayee also took a stand against the Israeli occupation of Palestine... They all stood with justice. The current government is trying to dilute that stand and make Israel look holy."

"They are trying to whitewash Israel. We should stand with marginalised. India's policy is to support the vulnerable people. Israel is the biggest terrorist country.”

“Whoever is supporting Israel they are supporting terror. Justice will rise over there that's why we are having this rally. With our prayers let their wounds be healed," the IUML leader said.

On attending the IUML's solidarity rally, Tharoor said, "India is one of the handful of countries that maintains ambassadors in both Israel and Palestine and enjoys good relations with both. We should be a voice for peace amid the carnage."

After the October 7 attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip by Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu set up a war cabinet and the Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant said they will launch a ground offensive on Gaza, seeking to "wipe off from the face of earth" the Palestine-terror group.
