Heroic Palestinian Resistance Fights Israeli Apartheid Terror
7 October 2023
For more than 75 years, Palestinians have suffered. Israel today epitomises an illegal occupation, illegal colonial practices and illegal apartheid practices. Under these conditions, international law gives the occupied people the right to resist that occupation.
The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign thus recognises the operation today by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza as a legitimate expression of their right to resist. We support all efforts of oppressed people to liberate themselves from their oppressors in the same way we did in our liberation struggle.
Over the past seven decades, Israel has brutalised the Palestinian people, stealing Palestinian land, homes, and even culture. The medieval-like siege on Gaza has been in place for almost 20 years, the attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank have been ongoing and intensifying, including the constant incursions into Al Aqsa, harassment of Palestinian Christians, targeting Palestinian journalists and health workers, home invasions and demolitions in Jerusalem and denial of Palestinian rights within 48 territory.
In this year alone, hundreds of Palestinians have been murdered by Israeli soldiers and settlers, including 40 Palestinian children, Palestinian homes destroyed, more settlements built, and more prisoners tortured.
