Solidarity with Palestine on the 70th Anniversary of Nakba and the Tragedy of the Palestinian People

On Tuesday, May 15 the Palestinian people commemorated the 70th anniversary of the creation of the State of Israel, known to them as the Nakba Catastrophe that caused the forced expulsion of more than 800,000 Palestinian civilians from their homes and lands, scattering them throughout the world. These have been seventy years of Zionist expansion with the imperial support of the United States that continues to the tune of $10 million dollars contributed every day. Make no mistake this is a colonial project that since 1948 that has caused the destruction of more than 500 villages and towns in historic Palestine, committing massacres and ethnic cleansing against the heroic Palestinian people who continue to resist.
The Long March of Return that began on March 30 experienced its bloodiest days in Gaza this past Monday and Tuesday. Tens of thousands had joined the protests against the transfer of the US Embassy to Jerusalem by hoisting the Palestinian national flag, burning tires and throwing stones at the heavily fortified fence along the Gaza border. This was met by long distant sniper fire tear gas dropping drones that deliberately targeted journalists, medics and the defiant Palestinian youth. There were reports of Israeli soldiers cheering as each protester fell clearly demonstrating the cowardly character of Zionism.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported on Tuesday that the massacre had killed 61 Palestinians. Among the victims there are 8 children including Laila Anwar al-Ghandour an eight month old baby girl who suffocated from tear gas inhalation. According to the ministry, another 2,771 Palestinians have been injured in the last two days, including 225 children and 86 women.
Palestinian health officials said 105 Gazans have been killed since the protests began on March 30 and nearly 11,000 people have been injured. Some 3,500 people have been hit by live ammunition. No Israeli casualties have been reported.
Despite these long seventy years, the heroic Palestinian people continue to raise the banner of their national struggle, presenting to the world a model of struggle and resistance, in response to all the Zionist and imperialist attempts to deny their existence and undermine their national rights.
The International Committee for Peace, Justice and Dignity reiterates our support and solidarity with the heroic Palestinian people with the following demands:
  1. The right of return of Palestinian refugees. It is an individual and collective right according to UN Resolution 194.
  2. The right of freedom for all Palestinian prisoners, starting with the hundreds of imprisoned children, along with women, the sick and the elderly.
  3. Protect and strengthen national unity, and the continuation of resistance in all its forms, as a strategic response to the Zionist enemy.
  4. Reject the Trump administration for designating Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, which offends not only the Palestinian people and the Arab peoples but humanity, by installing in the Holy City the headquarters of the US embassy. Millions of believers of all religions are opposed to it.
  5. Condemn the international complicit silence that is threatening peace and security in the world, and in particular that of the United Nations and the International Criminal Court.
  6. Demand that an international independent commission be formed to investigate the crimes of the Zionist occupation against the unarmed Palestinian civilian population.
We stand for:
The liberation, independence and sovereignty of Palestine and the return of Palestinian refugees to their homes and lands.
Our unconditional love and solidarity to Palestine!

Snipers massacre Gazans as Palestinians resist Israeli apartheid

May 15 — Even as the Trump administration celebrated the move of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on May 14, Israeli snipers were mercilessly gunning down Palestinian people just 40 miles away in the Gaza strip.

The Gaza Health Ministry reports that 62 unarmed Palestinian demonstrators were shot dead by Israeli troops on that one day, and thousands more were wounded. Their crime? Trying to breach the walls that keep 1.8 million Palestinians confined in a tiny, crowded strip of coast along the Mediterranean Sea under the most intolerable conditions.

In a cynical twist of the facts, the Trump White House tried to blame the Palestinian resistance group Hamas for the deaths.

This was the eighth and deadliest day of weekly protests by the people of Gaza against the theft and occupation of Palestinian land that created the state of Israel and forced them into prison-like confinement. The Great March of Return began on Land Day, March 30 in Palestine. This latest demonstration came one day before the 70th anniversary of the Nakba — the Catastrophe — when in 1948 Zionist troops forced 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and destroyed 400 of their villages. All with the blessings of the Western imperialists, the U.S. and Britain in particular.

Among those murdered by Israeli snipers were children and a man in a wheelchair, Fadi Abu Salah, who had lost his legs in 2008 when Israel bombed Gaza. Most were shot by soldiers using internationally banned expanding bullets, but a 5-month-old baby, Leila Ghandour, died from teargas inhalation….

UNAC Statement on ISRAEL/U.S. WAR on GAZA’S NAKBA PROTESTS at APARTHEID WALL

UNAC Statement on ISRAEL 051418

https://www.facebook.com/EndTheWars/

5/14/18 For more than 70 years, Palestinians have endured the crimes of ethnic cleansing, dispossession, disenfranchisement, destruction, and death at the hands of apartheid Israel, with the unqualified backing of the United States, as well as the tolerance of this ongoing trampling on humanity and justice by the international
community. As Israelis celebrate the May 14, 1948, anniversary of the establishment of their state, Palestinians on May 15 mark the Nakba (“Catastrophe”), the violent ethnic cleansing that forcibly expelled more than 800,000 Palestinians from more than 500
towns and villages that were destroyed or abandoned and annexed. The 1967 occupation drove out thousands more. Today, six million refugees live in the Occupied Territories of Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, in squalid refugee camps in adjoining countries, and in the diaspora dispersed worldwide. Those who remain in Israel live as second-class citizens.

The Palestine Liberation Organization called the strike across the West Bank and Gaza regions in response to the deaths of demonstrators. Palestine marks the 70th anniversary of Nakba Day or “Catastrophe Day” after a bloody protest which claimed the lives of over 55 Palestinians, who demonstrated in opposition of the relocation of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
