On Saturday, January, 10th, on a central square of Simferopol took place a meeting in support of Palestinian people and against military aggression of Israel in Gaza.

About four hundred participants among which were representatives of Spiritual Management of Muslims of Crimea, Muslim communities of the peninsula, the Crimean-Tatar community, citizens of Palestine, Turkey, Arabian and Malaysian students, held in their hands eloquent posters with photos of children and peaceful citizens killed as a result of aggression.

Demonstrators demanded to stop military operations in the Middle East and to draw Israel for criminal acts to world judicial responsibility.

As it was noted in the course of his performance on the mass-meeting by the Mufti of Crimea Hadzhy Emirali Ablaev, no any Muslim should keep aloof from the tragedy of Palestinians, and should express his protest against aggression initiated by Israel against peaceful population. The Mufti also noted, "In spite of the fact that we speak different languages, we are of one faith, and you can always rely on our support".

No one from the gathered was left indifferent by the words of the citizen of Palestine, the young man named Iyad, who sincerely thanked the Crimean Tatars for their support. "Our people perish, but we thank Muslims of Crimea for your support", he said. "The reasons why Israel developed the military operation are made up. HAMAS does not bomb Israel, and these shells are just toys in comparison with Israeli attack".

On the mass-meeting was read the statement of Mejlis with the requirement to Israel to stop aggression, on which the representative body of the Crimean-Tatar people spoke on January, 8th.

The main leitmotif of the meeting was the appeal that the Crimean-Tatar and Arabian people are uniform. Participants of the meeting also expressed their indignation of inactivity of the governments of the states bordering on Palestine which silently observe destruction of peaceful population of Gaza. In conclusion of the action the flag of Israel was burnt on the square.
