REPUBLICA.CO.ID, Bandung--Thousands of citizens from different areas of the Bandung Raya region staged a Palestinian demonstration on Diponegoro Street, Bandung City, Saturday (9/11/2024). They called on President Prabowo Subianto to take concrete steps to address the genocide committed by Israel.

According to LBH Pelita Umat Jabar Chairman Ricky Fatamazaya, the Palestinian defense action involved various sections of the community with the number of participants reaching 6,000 people. They called on the central government to take concrete steps addressing the genocide committed by Israel to Palestinians.

“Thank God our record is more than 6,000 people, it is related to the defense of Palestine with the call for jihad,” Ricky said on Saturday (9/11/2024).

He said the current Palestinian defense action is not just about blocking or continuing to provide aid. However, the central government must seek concrete steps so that the genocide in Palestine by Israel can be stopped. “Today certainly needs to be more assertive,” he said.

He judged Israel's actions to constitute the crime of genocide. With Indonesia's anti-colonialist stance, he said there must be a firm stance from the government immediately to solve the crime.

He said tens of thousands of people lost their lives and millions displaced. Among them are children and women. “That's what we're calling for today there should be concrete steps,” he said.

One that could be done is to send military members to war sites in Palestine.
