The SACP reiterates its unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people in their just struggle for the freedom of Palestine, denounces the apartheid Israeli settler state for its genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people
22 October 2023
The apartheid Israeli regime’s decades-long impunity must end with immediate effect. Its leaders, past and present, must be held accountable for expropriating Palestinian lands, erecting illegal settlements and occupying Palestinian territories, and for their human rights violations, atrocious deeds and war crimes against the Palestinian people.
In pledging our unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people in their just struggle to end colonial and imperialist occupation, reclaim their expropriated lands, and exercise their democratic national sovereignty free from oppression, as the SACP we strongly condemn the apartheid Israeli settler state for its genocidal bombardment of Palestinians, destruction of their homes and civil infrastructure, and cutting off of access to water and electricity.
In intensifying its 75 years of Palestinian land expropriation and occupation, human rights violations and atrocious acts against the Palestinian people, since 1948, from 7 October the apartheid Israeli settler state has killed civilians—including patients and medical professionals in healthcare facilities such as the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza which the Israeli military bombed on Thursday.
Israel has killed Palestinian children, women and men for many years. It has now killed, and it is still killing more others, cut off access to water and electricity in Gaza, destroying their homes, roads and logistics infrastructure. The apartheid Israeli settler state has blocked humanitarian aid from flowing into Gaza while carrying out the pogrom and genocide. Besides bombarding Gaza every day now, the apartheid Israeli settler state is killing Palestinians in the West Bank as well, as it also displays its insatiable appetite for offshore Palestinian oil.
