Escalate the Resistance: Occupy the Occupiers Embassies and Consulates!
The occupation forces have launched their ground invasion of Gaza,
Palestine following ten days of an aerial assault by the killing machine of
the occupation forces, taking the lives of 245 Palestinians at the hands of
the occupation military and its US-made and funded weaponry, raining
destruction upon the Palestinian people of Gaza from the sky.
The occupations assault has included the targeting of children and elders,
attacking schools, mosques, hospitals, family homes, and care centers for
people with disabilities. Today alone, the Israeli forces targeted and
bombed a rehabilitation hospital after killing eight children and four
adults elsewhere in Gaza. They have taken the lives of families, demolished
over 800 homes and severely damaged over 18,000 more, destroyed
infrastructure, targeted critical resources and have relentlessly made use
of their US-funded and supported killing machine targeting the Palestinian
people.
Despite the brutal assault on Gaza, Palestinians in Gaza and throughout
occupied Palestine and in exile have continued to resist and to reject the
occupiers logic that through death and destruction they will force us to
accept surrender and die quietly. The Palestinian people in Gaza are
committed to resist the occupier by all means and never to give up that
resistance until victory, despite the attempts of the occupier to separate
our resistance from our people through deadly force.
Throughout this assault, the Arab people and the people of the world, in
massive numbers, have taken to the streets. Tens of thousands have marched
in Cape Town, in Paris, in London, in Stockholm, in Tunis, in Istanbul, in
San Francisco, in Santiago, in Caracas, in Chicago, in Mexico City, in New
York, in The Hague, in Yemen, in Jakarta, in Sydney. In hundreds of cities
and towns around the world, the voice of the people has been heard
rejecting the imperialist and Zionist assault on the Palestinian people and
demanding an end to the complicity, silence and direct participation of the
imperialist powers, international institutions, and war-profiteering
corporations in the assault on Palestine.
Now, it is time to escalate the international resistance. The tanks are
rolling into Gaza. The occupiers embassies and consulates must not be
allowed to operate as normal and engage in business as usual while its
forces are conducting a murderous occupation.
U.S. imperial power must not continue uninterrupted around the world while
it provides the economic, political and military support that runs the
killing machine in fact, the U.S. imperialists Congress have just passed a
bill to provide more money and more funding to make the occupations killing
machine even more lethal against the Palestinian and Arab people.
The war-profiteering corporations that are making a financial killing on
the killing of our people must not continue to see nothing but benefit for
their involvement in murder, torture, apartheid, racism and occupation.
It is time to not only continue to take the streets, but to escalate the
struggle:
Friendly and progressive governments of the world must cut their ties with
the occupation state, close its embassies and recall their ambassadors,
fully isolate, boycott and reject the criminal apartheid racist
illegitimate settler-colonial state that is massacring Palestinians.
The reactionary Arab regimes must no longer be permitted to engage in
diplomatic relations with the occupation state and host its embassies and
ambassadors while it is killing Palestinians. All occupation embassies in
Arab nations must be shut permanently.
And our call to the people of the world, the millions who have taken to the
streets, who have raised the Palestinian flag alongside the sons and
daughters of Palestine in exile and diaspora in every city and country of
the world, we call upon you to:
Occupy Israeli embassies and consulates shut them down, close their doors,
prevent them from engaging in business as usual. The occupation state must
be entirely boycotted and isolated, and fully rejected as the illegitimate
settler-colonial occupier that it is.
Occupy U.S. embassies and consulates U.S. imperialism is the principal
sponsor of the killer occupation in Palestine and it must be held
accountable by the people of the world for its crimes, not only in
Palestine but throughout the world.
Take the profits from the hands of the killer corporations Already
protesters are confronting these killer corporations like Boeing, Lockheed
Martin and G4S, facing arrest in U.S. cities such as Chicago. These
corporations must face consequences their operations interrupted and shut
down. No more profits from Palestinian blood!
As the resistance in Palestine escalates, so must the resistance of the
world. The occupation and its sponsors must not be permitted to continue
their criminal slaughter of our people now in its latest stage after over
66 years of murder, repression, occupation, apartheid, racism and
dispossession without consequence and without meaningful blows to their
ability to function. It is time to shut them down, and for the resistance
of the people of the world to be heard alongside the resistance of
Palestine.
They shall not pass! Gaza shall not fall! From the river to the sea,
Palestine will be free!
