The scale of horror that families in Gaza are enduring in the face of Israel’s current genocidal bombing of Gaza is immeasurable and unspeakable.
Israel’s killing of Palestinians in Gaza, with full U.S. backing, must stop. It’s our duty to offer critical support to actions that lead to an immediate ceasefire and the entry of critical assistance.
We offer this space as a movement resource hub in this unprecedented moment of crisis.
We uplift the demands of Palestinians on the ground in Gaza:
An immediate ceasefire that allows the entry of aid, retrieval of bodies, and the rescue of those trapped under the rubble, with a commitment to meet the real demands of the people of Gaza.
Immediate restoration of energy, water, and communication services that Israel has cut off from the Gaza Strip.
The dispatch of solidarity missions from the United States, including doctors, paramedics, emergency experts, and others. This needs to happen urgently, and their presence at the Rafah border crossing would exert pressure on the political parties to open the crossing in a sustainable, not temporary, manner.
Complete rejection of any solutions that include the opening of exit routes for civilians. Palestinian refugees refuse to be displaced again.
We commit our efforts to all the Palestinian families longing to return to the land of their grandparents just over the militarized border — Isdoud, Asqlan, and other Palestinian towns ethnically cleansed by Israeli forces in 1948. We dedicate our lives to supporting all Palestinians longing to return home — just as international law decrees — to a safe and free Palestine.
Gaza Is Palestine is a Palestinian-led effort from Adalah Justice Project and MPower Change to build upon the historic global movement to end Israeli occupation, colonization, and violence that ignited with new life in Spring 2021. We work to influence media, policy, and grassroots pressure to keep the stories of Palestinian families decimated by Israeli state violence in the public eye, shorten the distance between people in the U.S. and in Gaza, and awaken the people power necessary to hold Israel and its backers accountable.
