From August 29-31, thousands of Palestine supporters will gather in Detroit, Michigan, for the second annual People’s Conference for Palestine, guided by the principle: Gaza is the Compass.
For two years, Gaza has been a moral and political compass that has guided so many towards true liberation.
Israel, with full US backing and support, is starving 2 million Palestinians, carrying out a plan for mass displacement and ethnic cleansing in both Gaza and the West Bank, and continuously bombing and shooting Palestinians with the number of martyrs rising daily.
Israel’s brutality, though gruesome and with the ultimate price being paid by Palestinians in Gaza, resembles more the last thrashes of a dying beast, than it does a mighty force. Zionism itself is facing an existential crisis. Around the world, Israel’s murderous rampage has given it a spotlight for international scrutiny and has turned Zionism into a pariah among the world’s masses.
Israel has been exposed on the world stage, for its colonial, apartheid, and genocidal project that continues to dispossess and oppress the Palestinian people. This political turning point provides us with an opportunity to utilize every tactic and strategy to ensure this genocide not only comes to an end, but also that Zionism fails to survive this indelible mark in history.
This is not the time to despair, but a pivotal time to come together with greater strength and fight even harder to end the genocide and occupation of Palestine once and for all. Gaza calls us to bear witness. Gaza demands that we look closer even when they try to force us to look away—and we refuse to look away.
At the end of this month, thousands of Palestine’s supporters will be convening in Detroit, Michigan for the second annual People’s Conference for Palestine, guided by the principle: Gaza is the Compass. This conference is a place for all, whether it’s activists, students, workers who have been on the streets and organizing at their institutions for Palestine, or families with young children hoping to build consciousness in the minds of the next generation. We will all convene to recommit to Gaza and to collectively determine the next phase of our movement for liberation. (more...)
