  Massacre in Gaza: Take Action, Join the Protests and March for Return

14 May 2018
------------------------------------------------------------------------

*The 70th anniversary of the Nakba was marked with a massacre in Gaza on 
Monday, 14 May. Israeli occupation forces shot 43 Palestinians dead as 
they marched for their Return, their right denied for over 70 years of 
Nakba, colonization and displacement. Thousands of Palestinians 
continued the ongoing legacy of 70 years of resistance as the Great 
Return March continued in Gaza today.*

The Zionist military forces exemplified the violence of 70 years of 
Nakba today, killing 43 and wounding over 1,600 Palestinians as they 
marched to the colonial fence at the 1948 armistice line, delineating 
the arbitrary enclave into which Palestinian refugees were ethnically 
cleansed by Zionist militias, and later the Israeli army.

Simultaneously, the U.S. imperialist role in Palestine was also 
highlighted as the U.S. embassy officially moved to occupied Jerusalem 
in an attempt to declare the occupied city the capital of the Israeli 
occupation state. U.S. officials and Ivanka Trump celebrated colonialism 
in Jerusalem while occupation forces committed a massacre in Gaza. 
Meanwhile, European powers remained largely silent and actively 
complicit, repressing Palestinian and solidarity organizing internally 
as they greet the Israeli state, congratulating it on 70 years of 
ongoing Nakba.

The Palestinian people have never stopped resisting – not through 30 
years of British colonialism and not through 70 years of Nakba. The 
Great Return March continues tomorrow despite the bloodshed of the 
occupier. The martyrs whose lives were stolen today by colonial armies 
live on in the struggle of millions of Palestinians to make the slogan 
and the dream of return a reality on the ground, with the bravery and 
commitment of the Palestinian popular classes on the front lines. Many 
of them children and youth, these Palestinians were shot down because 
they marched for their inalienable right to return to, and liberate, Bir 
Saba, Haifa, Yafa, Safad, al-Majdal, Bisan, all of the over 400 
destroyed villages of the Nakba.

*Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urges all supporters 
of Palestine and the Palestinian people to take to the streets. Silence 
is unacceptable in the face of massacres, colonization and complicity. 
The Palestinians whose lives were taken today and the thousands more 
wounded must be honored with struggle and commitment to the liberation 
of all of Palestine and its people, from the river to the sea, the 
dismantling of Zionist colonialism, and the return of the Palestinian 
refugees.*

Remember them and honor their names, their sacrifice and their struggle 
for return and liberation. They are immortal to all of our global 
movements for justice:
