Israel and the US will not allow a neutral force anywhere near Gaza.

Israel and the US will not allow a neutral force anywhere near Gaza.

A state founded on apartheid and settler colonialism is no longer viable.

Israel, and its powerful backers, are finally facing some accountability for their crimes against Palestinian people.

We will never forget how you stood by us when even our own brothers turned their backs on us in fear.

War by war, Israel has slowly but surely normalised genocidal violence against the Palestinian people.

The people of Gaza will not settle for anything short of the end of the siege, the occupation and apartheid.

The US president’s support for genocide in Gaza is hardly surprising given his country’s settler-colonial past.

The people of Gaza have given the Palestinian struggle a new impetus, a new direction.

The blockade on Gaza is a stain on human history.

Your act of solidarity gave us some true hope, and we are thankful for it.
