Gaza Resists, Gaza Lives! END TO THE ISRAELI ATTACKS ON GAZA!

END TO THE ISRAELI ATTACKS ON GAZA!
LONG LIVE THE PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE!

November 19, 2012

Unión del Barrio, a Mexican and Latin American organization based in Southern California and who struggles for the self-determination of the Mexican people within the boundaries of the United States, stands with the Palestinian people and thier right to exist. We strongly condemns the criminal bombardment of Gaza by the Israeli military, which has claimed the lives of more than 100 civilians, 24 of them children.

We have seen with horror, the effects of Israeli occupation against the people of Palestine, particularly as it relates to the residents of Gaza, who have had to endure the illegal blockade of that city, depriving nearly 1.5 million people of basic resources and creating one of the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. This crimal and genocidal policy of hostility by the Israeli state has turned Gaza into a virtual open air prison.

The criminal bombardment of Gaza and threat of invasion by the Israeli occupying forces must end! People the world over demand it. From this corner of the world, also besieged by walls of apartheid, we stand with the people of Palestine and with their righteous struggle for self-determination as well as their right to return to the lands that were illegally taken by the settler Israeli state.

The courageous resistance of the Palestinian people in the face of state terrorism gives hope to the millions of displaced and occupied peoples all over the world that when we struggle against injustice, occupation and invasion, we defend our human dignity.  We are confident that through unwavering solidarity and the continued resistance of the brave Palestinian people, justice will be had.

From the river to the sea Palestine will be free!
Self-determination for all freedom loving people!
¡Viva, Viva, Viva; La Lucha Palestina!
