A-Infos (en) France, UCL Press Release - For Palestine, against genocide: let's make November 29th a tidal wave! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

After the "ceasefire" and the infamous "Trump plan" adopted by the UN on 
November 18th, it is more crucial than ever to keep our eyes on 
Palestine. This is not about stopping the genocide, but about its 
continuation by other means. 53% of Gaza is now directly under the 
control of the occupying army: a fait accompli officially described as 
"temporary," but everything indicates that Israel intends to make it 
permanent. ---- The "yellow line" marking this occupied territory is 
completely fictitious, and its boundaries are blurred, but it has very 
real consequences since the occupier systematically murders Palestinians 
who approach it. The ceasefire itself has already been violated 
repeatedly by the Israeli state, assured of its impunity as it continues 
its regular bombing of Gaza.

In the West Bank, the pogrom-like violence perpetrated by settlers, with 
the blessing and sometimes the direct participation of the army, has 
been particularly intense in recent weeks. The tactic is well-known: 
harass Palestinians to force them to flee their land. Meanwhile, tens of 
thousands of prisoners remain locked up in colonial prisons under 
inhumane conditions: medical neglect, malnutrition, humiliation, 
beatings, rape, and daily torture are now well-documented and 
demonstrate the establishment of a concentration camp system of mass 
torture. Among the Palestinian hostages, Hussam Abu Safyia, whose arrest 
last December shocked the world, and more than 80 doctors and hospital 
staff are still being tortured. Their only crime: daring to treat and 
protect Palestinian lives.

In France, the "ceasefire" serves as a pretext for further normalizing 
the genocidal state: thus, despite an initial refusal, an Israeli stand 
is indeed present at the Milipol arms fair, on the grounds that the 
ceasefire has supposedly changed the situation! Weapons tested on 
Palestinian civilians and used in their genocide are therefore being 
sold, alongside those used to crush the Sudanese people. The repression 
of solidarity activists and even of any critical expression of Israeli 
policy is intensifying to mask this disgusting policy. From the 
detention of our comrade Omar Alsoumi to the cancellation of a 
conference on Palestine at the Collège de France, everything seems 
permissible against Palestinians and those who dare to denounce their 
destruction.

It is in this context that November 29th, proclaimed the "International 
Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People," takes place. This date 
marks the tragic anniversary of UN Resolution 181, which on November 29, 
1947, proclaimed the "partition plan" for Palestine and the 
international legitimization of Zionist colonialism. The borders 
proclaimed in this resolution would be trampled during the Nakba, the 
ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people planned by Zionist militias 
with the blessing of imperialist powers. This date symbolizes the 
failure of the UN and international law, which did not prevent ethnic 
cleansing and colonization: Resolution 194 of 1949, which mandates the 
right of return for Palestinian refugees, has never been respected by 
Israel, without this threatening its position at the UN.

So, on November 29th, it will be up to the people to do what 
international institutions have never been able or willing to do: put an 
end to Israeli colonial aggression and finally impose sanctions on the 
Zionist state. An arms embargo, economic and political sanctions against 
this genocidal state can only be achieved through a powerful 
international mobilization capable of forcing the imperialists to back 
down. A powerful international mobilization is essential to uphold the 
rights of the Palestinian people. Around the world, November 29th can be 
a significant milestone in strengthening this movement. Long live the 
struggle of the Palestinian people! Long live international solidarity! 
Let's join all the rallies taking place on November 29th, in Paris and 
throughout the world!
