Stand up and Stop the Massacres in Palestine!
Palestine mourns yet another 23 martyrs killed during the night.
Massacres in Palestine far from over while the world continues to maintain
silence.
Last night, Occupation Forces attacked the people of Beit Hanoun in their
sleep, shelling indiscriminately at houses, killing 18 Palestinians and
leaving many more injured, most of them women and children. It comes just
24 hours after Occupation Forces had ended another invasion which led to
the killings of over 50 people in the Gaza strip and almost 200 injured.
In Beit Hanoun, two doctors were killed as ambulances were sent to treat
those injured during the invasion. People were left bleeding to death as
Palestinians were prevented from reaching hospitals. Dozens of houses have
been turned into rubble and the infrastructure and agriculture of Beit
Hanoun has been destroyed.
And in a sign of even more war crimes, the Occupation murdered 5
Palestinians during the night in the Jenin district of the West Bank.
The Israeli apartheid regime announces that this is only the beginning. As
an Occupation officer puts it: In the future we will be involved in more
dramatic missions. [
] The operations in the Gaza Strip will have to take
on a different character in the future, similar to what we did in Beit
Hanoun.
The daily crimes and killings express the Zionist policy of terror and
genocide against our people: who wish us to grant unconditional surrender
to life in the ghettos, flee our country or to die under their fire. In
the ghettos of Gaza and the West Bank, imprisoned by cement walls and
razor wire, Palestinians become hostages to a vicious machine of sanctions,
starvation and invasion.
There is no reaction, no condemnation of these crimes against humanity, no
urgent meetings from world leaders. Only complicit silence. Just as if the
world had adopted the racist Israeli paradigm that excludes Palestinians
from humanity, global media and governments shamelessly continue to table
up justifications for the mass killing of our people.
We are thus calling on all of you to take immediate action and to break
the silence. We are calling all of you that are mobilizing for the Week
against the Apartheid Wall to step up your efforts and:
To protest and raise your voice
To call for an end to the massacre and to uncover the apartheid nature
and genocidal aims of Israel.
