Aoun Urges Intl. Intervention on Israeli Aggression against Palestinians

W460

President Michel Aoun urged the international community to intervene and end Israel’s aggression against Palestinians, the National News Agency reported on Saturday.

NNA said that Aoun is following up on the latest developments in the occupied territories of Palestine amid Israel’s continued aggression against al-Aqsa mosque and east Jerusalem district of Sheikh Jarrah.

“No peace without justice, and no justice without respect for rights,” said Aoun.

He considered “tyranny and the deprivation of rights will only lead to more violence and injustice.”

Tensions in Jerusalem have flared into the city's worst disturbances since 2017 since Israeli riot police clashed with large crowds of Palestinian worshippers on the last Friday of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan.

Israel and Hamas exchanged heavy fire on Tuesday, with at least 25 Palestinians killed in Gaza, in a dramatic escalation between the bitter foes sparked by unrest at Jerusalem's flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

tyranny (n.)
late 14c., "cruel or unjust use of power; the government of a tyrant," from Old French tyranie (13c.), from Late Latin tyrannia "tyranny," from Greek tyrannia "rule of a tyrant, absolute power," from tyrannos "master" .

Originally in Greek the word was not applied to old hereditary sovereignties (basileiai) and despotic kings, but it was used of usurpers, even when popular, moderate, and just (such as Cypselus of Corinth), however it soon became a word of reproach in the usual modern sense. The unetymological spelling with -t arose in Old French by analogy with present-participle endings in -ant. Fem. form tyranness is recorded from 1590 (Spenser); Medieval Latin had tyrannissa (late 14c.).

Since he works under the tutelage of Hizbos, they probably sent a communique and told him get on TV and read it.

You know he doesn't believe a word he's a reading
