Palestine Solidarity Message
Dear friends and activists of the WMW,
Thank
you for all the news of activities and messages of solidarity that you have
sent to the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees (our contact in Palestine)
and to us at the IS. They are very much appreciated by the members of the
Union, as is shown by the email we received from Khitam, the acting Chair
Person, on 15th January (Thursday of last week):
“…
let me tell you how much we appreciate your efforts and solidarity, in these
days we live very hard time, every minute could bring a new crime perpetrated
by the occupation troops in Gaza, these crimes are continuous.
To
be honest with you, my words can’t help me to talk about the situation.
I
believe that every decent human being is protesting the occupation crimes in
Gaza.
We
have to keep on our activities in Palestine and in the whole world until these
crises end.
Please
give our thanks to all the people and organisations who are in solidarity with
us.”
We
have also received a moving letter from Yvonne, a Jewish Israeli woman and
activist of the movement ‘Women in Black’ (an ally of the WMW), that we would
like to share with you (attached). In it she expresses her rage and
helplessness as she witnesses the killings and suffering of the Palestinian
people, and the determination of many Israelis – both woman and men – to
struggle for an end to the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Israeli
government in Gaza.
In
hope for a lasting cease-fire and respect for the right of the Palestinian
people to a free, viable and independent State…
