Call for protest actions on November 29

against Israeli genocide in Palestine

 To the working class and workers’ organisations and institutions

To freedom-seeking and peace-loving people who stand in defence of the people of Palestine 

The deprived people of Palestine, particularly in the Gaze Strip, have been subjected to an ongoing massacre since October of last year. The fascist Israeli government, with cooperation and support from the U.S. government and its allies, have deployed the most modern air and land weapons of mass destruction, and turned Gaza into rubble, burying tens of thousands under the debris.

So far, the brutality of the fascist government of Israel has resulted in the death of more than 44,000, of which about 17,000 are innocent children, over 100,000 wounded, the displacement of several million people without any security or shelter, the destruction of all economic and social infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, schools, nurseries , hospitals, refugee camps and every aid centre, occupation and prevention of aid and assistance to people, lack of water and food, causing starvation as well as escalation of the war to Lebanon, etc.

Israel's genocide has had the full support and assistance of the US government, a policy that has plunged the entire Middle East region into a perilous era.

On Tuesday, November 20, the U.S. once again vetoed a UN Security Council resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza, effectively giving Israel the green light to continue its crimes and genocide. This reality once again demonstrates that only us, the humane and civilised people around the world, especially the global working class, have the power to ensure the safety and freedom of the Palestinian people.

November 29 is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

We, the United Workers’ Front for the Defence of the Palestinian People, comprising labour organisations and advocates of people of Palestine in over ten countries across the Middle East and North Africa, call on all workers, labour organisations, unions, and freedom-seeking people to join a global protest on this day against the crimes, genocide, and ethnic cleansing committed by Israel and its allies.

We urge the working class, labour organisations, and peace-loving people in the region and worldwide to stand together in solidarity and unity, and to take action in any possible form of demonstrations, rallies, strikes, meetings, etc, in protest against Israel’s crimes and in defence of the Palestinian people, for peace and an end to war and atrocities.

We, on our part, strive to organise actions within the working class across the region in defence of  the Palestinian people and for an end to this genocide. We extend a hand of cooperation and comradeship to all labour organisations worldwide to stand in solidarity in defence of the innocent people of Palestine. We invite you to partake in protest actions, strikes to rallies, gatherings and marches…, on November 29.

We must and can stop the war machine of Israel, US and its allies, which have drenched the region in blood. The hope of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children and millions of oppressed people in the region rests on our collective efforts.
