TEHRAN (FNA)- British Labor MP Jeremy Corbyn strongly condemned the Zionist regime for its crimes and atrocities against the defenseless Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, saying that the Israeli massacre of a large number of Palestinians in just the last few days cannot be justified by any rule or standard.
–
“Once again Israel has wantonly attacked the people of Gaza, bombing and killing them,” Corbyn told reporters in London on Sunday.
The British lawmaker condemned the Israeli aggression against the Palestinians, describing the attacks as unjustifiable.
–
“This is effectively a first world state attacking a poor and largely defenseless population. It looks like a rerun of Operation Cast Lead,” he said.
–
Corbyn said that the timing of the Israeli aggressions is “interesting and it looks like (Israeli prime minister Benjamin) Netanyahu is creating a crisis to ensure his reelection”.
–
Yesterday, hundreds of people took part in a rally in Edinburgh, Scotland in support of the Palestinian people who have been under the Israeli regime’s severe attacks in the last five days.
–
Protesters carried banners and flags condemning the actions of Israel as they marched from the First Minister’s official residence, Bute House in Charlotte Square, to the Scottish Parliament, STV reported.
–
On Thursday, about 800 hundred people protested in front of the Israeli embassy in London, shouting anti-Israeli slogans. The protesters waved signs reading “Free Palestine,”, “End the siege” and “Criminal Israel”.
–
Over 70 Palestinians have been killed and more than 580 others injured in the new wave of Israeli aggressions against the Gaza Strip since Wednesday. Israel triggered the current fighting by assassinating the military chief of the ruling Hamas group on Wednesday followed by dozens of airstrikes on Gaza.

Corbyn has been the member of British parliament for Islington North since 1983.
