A-Infos (en) France, UCL press release: Palestine: the genocide continues, a ceasefire is vital (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

In five months more than 30,000 people have been killed, half of them 
children. This number is probably well below reality, as not all the 
bodies can be removed from the rubble. We must stop the State of Israel 
in its murderous madness, its colonial and apartheid regime. ---- Israel 
is now intensively bombing the town of Rafah in southern Gaza - where 
Israel had asked the population of northern Gaza to regroup. More than 
1.5 million people parked without any emergency exit. For its part, 
Egypt is building a vast prison in the desert for a few thousand 
refugees. Humanitarianism in trompe-l'oeil. Bombings on South Lebanon 
continue while missiles strike Syria.

A methodically organized famine
The Palestinians are in the grip of a famine methodically organized by 
Israel. Hundreds of humanitarian trucks are waiting for permission to 
enter Gaza but are blocked by Israeli soldiers or even civilians. 
Thursday, February 29, around a hundred people were murdered by the IDF 
when they were looking for supplies. Famine kills the wounded, the most 
fragile, the babies every day.

The vile photos of Israeli soldiers
Sure of their impunity, Israeli soldiers send photos of torture, 
humiliation, playing with children's toys, women's clothes. The "most 
moral army in the world" in action! Among them, 4,000 Franco-Israelis, 
involved in war crimes without being prosecuted by French justice. If 
France has taken measures against some criminal settlers in the West 
Bank where more than 600 deaths have already been reported, it continues 
to turn a blind eye to the establishment of 26 new colonies and the 
daily violence to drive the Palestinians from their land.

Western countries complicit
Western countries and first and foremost the United States, which paved 
the way for Zionist colonization in Palestine, turn a blind eye. Much 
more than that, they directly finance the deaths of tens of thousands of 
Palestinians. By continuing arms deliveries to Israel, despite the 
recommendation of the ICJ, Macron has blood on his hands.

In Germany, Italy, England and France, the criminalization of the 
movement in support of Palestine is historic: bans on demonstrations, 
convictions with fines and prison on the pretext of supporting 
"terrorism". UNRWA, the UN body supporting Palestinians expelled from 
their homes, sees its funding blocked at the most critical moment 
following unproven accusations launched by Israel.

Let's impose the ceasefire
Let us impose the ceasefire through a strong anti-imperialist movement. 
Let us impose on the government the release of George Ibrahim Abdallah, 
a pro-Palestinian Lebanese communist activist who has been held in 
detention in France for more than 40 years despite the fact that he has 
been free since 1999. Let us refuse to be complicit in ethnic cleansing 
and a genocide.

The political battle must be waged including in our political camp and 
in the social movement, where solidarity sometimes finds it difficult to 
actively express itself. The roots of this war lie in an ideology and a 
political movement, Zionism, which is a colonial project accompanied by 
its usual military crimes. Anti-colonialists, we are anti-Zionists.

Let us remain vigilant against the extreme right who are riding the 
current climate of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism and against any 
exploitation of the fight for Palestine for racist purposes. It is not 
possible to be against racism there and tolerate it here.

We call:

- An immediate, permanent and unconditional ceasefire;

- The immediate entry of humanitarian convoys into Gaza;

- The simultaneous release of all Israeli and Palestinian prisoners;

We support and call to join:

- The Boycott Divestment Sanction BiDiEs campaign against companies 
financing Israel's genocidal policy;

- The Stop Arming Israel Campaign and call on workers to strike to stop 
participating in the genocide of the Palestinians.

Palestine Will Live, Palestine Will Win!
