OCAP In Solidarity With The People Of Gaza
Submitted by ocap on Wed, 01/07/2009 - 17:13.
The Ontario Coalition Against Poverty joins with the millions of people around the world who have stood up to condemn and resist the Israeli attack on Gaza and to applaud the courage and strength of the Palestinian people in Gaza, the West Bank and around the world. As Israel escalates its attacks on the people of Gaza we are a part of the movement which demands an end to the Apartheid regime in Israel and we stand with all of those around the world taking to the streets to demand justice in Gaza, justice in the West Bank and justice in their own communities.
The struggle against the forces of capital and greed in Toronto is also the struggle against the forces that create and perpetuate war, imperialism, occupation, and apartheid against people around the globe. The governments and forces that keep us poor are the same governments and forces that invade, occupy, murder and commit ethnic cleansing and genocide.
We hope that everyone will take the time to read our Statement of Solidarity with the Palestinian People included below and to become engaged in the struggle to free Palestine.
