WE BELIEVE that Jews have been victims of historical injustices even back in Hitler and the Nazi’s (Holocaust) time. Also The Great Britain and United Nation’s decision to give the Palestine territory to the displaced Jews around the world have displaced and committed injustice to all Palestinians that continuously expressed their resistance in many forms.
We also believed that the recent War, occupations and assaults to the remaining Palestinian territories are clear violation of the International Humanitarian Law and Universal Declaration of Human Rights indiscriminately fired upon civilian populations, aid workers and institutions like the hospitals and schools. And this war is just one of the many capitalist wars in the world for military and economic dominance.
The war in Gaza today is a war made to fully take control over the rich oil reserves that Golan Heights, Gaza Strip and West Bank in Palestine possessed. We are frustrated with how the international institutions like the United Nations treated the whole thing in the recent attack to Gaza and even added more hardships to the Palestinians (Muslim, Christians, etc). The UN cannot even demand to Israel to stop the air strikes and the whole occupation. Why so? It is because of the Imperialist powers dominating inside the UN community that are very supportive to Israel’s war.
We are certain that what happened in Gaza and Palestine is genocide – a war crime against humanity.
We are joining the whole world saying that this is not about religion, race and nationalities. This is about humanity, human rights and right to self-determination as nations.
We call on all peace and human rights champions, Governments and movements in Mindanao, Philippines and the World:
-Disarm Israel, End the Genocide and bring the Israeli government to the International Criminal Court;
-BOYCOTT Israeli products supporting war in Palestine like Nescafe, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Johnson and Johnsons, Nestle, Pepsi Cola, etc;
-Immediately lift economic blockade of Humanitarian Aids and assistance to Palestine;
-Cut all military treaties with Israel and United States of America and Stop arming Israel military;
-Full recognition of Palestine with defined territory, structures and powers;
-Provide enough assistance to victims and survivors of the wars between Palestine and Israel;
– Civilian citizens of Israel and Palestine must stand together denouncing and opposing these cycle of war and violence;
We demand to the warring parties to STOP this war and TALK inclusively and sincerely.
Palestine Solidarity – Mindanao as a witness of the similar historical accounts with the Jews and the Palestinians, we affirm our commitment to be in Solidarity and Unity with all of the victims of war and deception.Palestine Solidarity – Mindanao is composed of different human rights, peace, tri-people and faith-based organizations in Mindanao.(lmkabataan@yahoo.com.ph)
