jfid – 11 Desember 2023 #StrikeForGaza#, The people of Palestine in Gaza continue to endure the cruelty and oppression inflicted by the Zionist regime of Israel.
Thousands of civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, have fallen victim to the ongoing aggression lasting for 65 days. Yet, they are not alone in their struggle.
A global solidarity movement has emerged as a resolute support for them. This movement calls upon the international community to strike on Monday, December 11, 2023, as a rejection of Israel’s brutality.
In addition to the strike, the movement urges global citizens to take to the streets in various cities, capitals, and other public spaces in massive demonstrations.
The aim is to condemn the support provided by the United States and several other Western nations for Israel’s aggression.
It emphasizes the need for international pressure to halt this violence and to hold those supporting it accountable as war criminals.
Support for this movement comes from various groups, organizations, and individuals concerned about the suffering of the Palestinian people due to Israeli colonization and blockade over the years.
The impetus for this movement is not only based on anti-fascism, anti-racism, and anti-oppression but also as a stance against all forms of discrimination, injustice, and human rights violations.
One of the parties involved in initiating this movement is the International Solidarity for Palestine Committee (ISPC), a global network comprising activists, academics, artists, journalists, and community figures from different countries.
The ISPC issued a statement praising this movement as a “historic step showing that the Palestinian people are not alone in facing Zionist colonizers.”
The statement also emphasizes that “this movement is a moral and political response to the humanitarian crimes committed by Israel, violating international law, UN resolutions, and human rights conventions. The message of this movement is a strong resistance against the senseless killing of the Palestinian people.”
