Indian actor speak out against Israeli atrocities in Gaza
Israelis are recognized as human beings while others are perceived as less than human: KRK.
Mumbai: Prominent Indian film critic and actor Kamaal Rashid Khan, widely known as KRK, has joined the global chorus of voices condemning Israeli actions in Palestine.
KRK, who is recognized for his candid critiques of Bollywood films, took to social media to make a passionate statement.
In a post on a popular social media platform, KRK expressed his profound concerns over the tragic events in Gaza, stating, "500 Palestinians were martyred in Israel's attack, yet it seems like the world has grown indifferent. It appears as though only Israelis are considered human, while others are deemed less than human."
KRK went on to stress that such behavior is unacceptable in today's modern world and asserted that, regardless of one's religious beliefs, all individuals are fundamentally human.
The actor's statements resonate with the international outcry against the Israeli assault on a hospital in Gaza on October 17, which resulted in the loss of 500 Palestinian lives, including women and children, with hundreds more sustaining severe injuries.
Additionally, the Israeli military's actions led to the death of 433 more Palestinians in Gaza in a single day, further compounding the ongoing crisis.
The total number of Palestinian casualties stands at 3,500 lives lost, with over 13,000 individuals, including women and children, being injured in the midst of the Israeli offensive.
Among the harrowing incidents, Israeli airstrikes targeted two houses in the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, resulting in the tragic loss of 27 lives in one occurrence and 13 members of the same family in another, with 15 individuals sustaining injuries.
