Prime Minister and Leader of the House Sheikh Hasina has blasted the Israeli aggression and atrocities on the Palestinians terming it as an extreme violation of humanity.
While taking part in the discussion on a resolution brought by treasury bench member Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, the Leader of the House called upon the United Nations to take effective steps soon to halt the Israeli offensive in the Gaza strip.
The PM said the Israeli troops have been continuing their brutality on the innocent Palestinians including innocent children and women for the last eight weeks since July 8.
Schools, hospitals and shelter centres run by the UN could not escape the beastly wrath of the Israeli attacks, she said,adding the Israelis made 5,226 air attacks on the Gaza strip during this period.
In the Israeli offensive, she said, a total of 2,401 Palestinian people were killed and of them, 70% were women and children.
"I feel pain when attacks are made on the children," she said and posed a question in an emotion-choked voice what crimes the children had committed? The Prime Minister said the Israelis are attacking the Palestinians in the way the Pakistani occupation forces unleashed a bloody massacre on the people of Bangladesh during the War of Liberation in 1971.
"This is a genocide, which is not acceptable by anybody."
Sheikh Hasina said this is an expectation of all that the Palestine be established as an independent state. "We have been continuing our support to the Palestinians and occupation of their land by the Israelis is never acceptable," she said.
The Leader of the House said the Israelites must free the land of the Palestinians and ensure such a situation that the Gaza people could live peacefully. It is not acceptable that the Palestinians will roaming as stateless people, she said.
Showing heartrending picture of the Israeli atrocities on the women and children, the Prime Minister came down heavily on the human rights organisations and world leaders for their silent role in this regard.
"Does it not awake the world conscience? Where the human feelings of those who are always vocal about the human rights have gone?," she questioned.
The premier also questioned the role of the World Muslim in this regard, saying that such attacks would have not made, had the Muslim Ummah been united.
Sheikh Hasina said she is wondered how the Muslim Ummah could remain silent in this situation. "Why they are afraid," she said.
The PM said "We do not want to see what crimes Hamas has done. Their trial could be held if they committed offences. But for this, we cannot accept the atrocities on the innocent children.
"Reiterating to Bangladesh's total solidarity to the Palestinian people, Sheikh Hasina said her government would do everything necessary for them.
"We would send medicines and tents and if needed we would make arrangements for treatment of the injured Palestinians by bringing them to Bangladesh," she said.
She said Bangladesh is already beside the Palestinians and would remain in future." If there is none to stand by the Palestinians in their distress, Bangladesh as a state and its people will alone be there,"
she said amid thunderous clapping of the lawmakers from both treasury and opposition benches.
