Night Demo – Make some noise for Palestine

Night Demo – Make some noise for Palestine

ISRAEL: AN APARTHEID STATE GUILTY OF STATE-SPONSORED TERRORISM

Israeli occupation forces have once again launched a military aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli apartheid regime is calling this aggression (one of a series of criminal attacks on Gaza spanning a number of years) an attack on the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, but in reality, as stated by Samidoun, the Palestinian Prisoners Network,” it is an attack on the entire Palestinian people — in Gaza, throughout occupied Palestine from the river to the sea — and their comprehensive resistance in all forms”. The Palestinians in Gaza are over 70% refugees, and have been denied their right to return home for 75 years. As a people under military occupation, Palestinians have the legal right to resist that occupation ( guaranteed under international law ). Palestinian and Jewish Unity supports the Palestinian people’s right to defend themselves by way of all forms of resistance.

PAJU fully endorses the following statement from Samidoun:

It is clear that the United States, Canada, the European Union countries, Britain and other imperialist powers are fully responsible for the crimes of the occupation, providing it with the weaponry that has been used to commit these killings, and has enabled the ongoing Nakba targeting the Palestinian people for the past 75 years, providing it with military, political, economic and diplomatic support. Rather than recognizing the Palestinian resistance’s legitimacy, these imperialist powers target the resistance organizations with “terrorist designations” and repression. This makes it more urgent for our movements to declare collectively: Resistance is not terror!

It is to be noted that Article 7.1.j of the Rome Statute (which provided the basis for the founding of the International Criminal Court) states unequivocally that apartheid is a crime against humanity. In that respect, the governments of the above-mentioned imperialist countries are complicit in a crime against humanity. That makes them governments led by criminals! Let it also be noted that there is no statute of limitations regarding war crimes and crimes against humanity. We acclaim the government of South Africa for its demand that Israel be called out as an apartheid state.

PAJU joins Samidoun in calling for “mass, political and media events in all locations in the diaspora and around the world in order to defend our steadfast Palestinian people against the Zionist aggression and its ongoing tightening of the siege on the Gaza Strip.” We call on Montrealers of all denominations and backgrounds to join the demonstration in support of Gaza and against Israel’s state-sponsored terrorism to be held tomorrow August 6th at the corner of  Berri and Ste. Catherine streets at 7 PM. Bring your Palestinian flags and make some noise for Palestine!
