World Stands with Palestinian Resistance Against Ongoing U.S./Israeli Genocide

Actions in support of the Palestinian people continued worldwide during March. A number of mass actions on International Women's Day, March 8, highlighted the heroic struggle of Palestinian women and called for an end to the U.S./Israeli genocide and an end to the occupation of Palestine.

Starting immediately on March 18 after Israel broke the Ceasefire Agreement and resumed all-out war on Gaza people took to the streets around the world.

Al-Quds Day, March 28, was marked by actions in many countries. The day was initiated by the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979 to show support for the Palestinian people and to affirm that all of Palestine, including Al-Quds (Jerusalem) belongs to the Palestinians.

The month closed with actions on the 49th Palestinian Land Day, March 30, marked every year to commemorate six Palestinians killed in 1976 while protesting the seizure of their lands and to denounce the ongoing theft of Palestinian lands and uphold the Right of Return for all those who have been dispossessed.

Most importantly, the actions show that the peoples of the world are defying the inaction of the international community due to an international rule of law which fails to hold the U.S. and Israel as well as the Genocide 7 to account for their crimes against humanity. The rallying cry of the peoples of the world is We Are All Palestinians!

Emergency rally in protest of Israel's breaking the Ceasefire Agreement in Gaza, March 18

More than 3,000 people participated in the annual Al-Quds Day march on March 24 to stand as one with the Palestinian people.

The event took place in defiance of weeks-long efforts of Zionist organizations to get Canadian politicians and state officials to cancel the event as "anti-Semitic." It started with a rally outside the U.S. consulate which Zionist hooligans, protected by the Toronto Police, tried but failed to disrupt.

The event militantly opposed Canada's role in supporting the U.S./Zionist genocide against the Palestinians. Speakers called for an immediate arms embargo against Israel and withdrawal of all support to the Zionist state and an end to the occupation.

The increasing isolation of the U.S./Zionist forces and their allies in the Canadian parliaments was pointed out. During the federal election Palestinian solidarity activists will make known the incumbent MPs and other candidates who have defended the genocide either openly or by their silence, so that voters know where they stand.

Voices were also raised against the ongoing targeting and criminalizing of activists and supporters of Palestine in Canada.

Following the rally, participants marched through downtown streets with chants of From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free! From the Sea to the River, Palestine Will Live Forever! Arms Embargo Now!, and other slogans filling the air.

INTERNATIONAL

United States

Across the U.S. there have been mass demonstrations throughout March demanding an end to U.S. participation in the genocide, and an end to the persecution of pro-Palestinian activists in the U.S. The Trump administration has targeted many individuals including international students, citing a statute authorizing the Secretary of State to expel non-citizens from the country if their presence is a threat to U.S. foreign policy interests.

On March 8 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested and detained Mahmoud Khalil who had participated in protests at Columbia University, revoking his green card. Yunseo Chung, another Columbia student and U.S. resident who moved to the U.S. from Korea as a child, was arrested and is being threatened with deportation for participating in a sit-in at Barnard College protesting the expulsion of students who participated in pro-Palestinian activism. Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish student was detained by federal officers in Boston and taken to an ICE detention centre in Louisiana. Others, non-students and students including visiting scholars from India, Palestine, Iran and Lebanon have also been deported or threatened with deportation.

Egypt

Tens of thousands rallied in cities across Egypt against Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people and in support of their right to be. In Cairo, thousands demonstrated at Al-Hussein Mosque after the Eid prayers, expressing their backing for Egypt's official stance rejecting the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Thousands of Egyptians gathered in squares throughout the country to express their solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

In the city of Hurghada, demonstrators waving Palestinian and Egyptian flags chanted slogans in support of Palestine, affirming their solidarity with the Palestinian people in the face of the genocide carried out by U.S./Israel.

At the same time, the Egyptian State Information Service (SIS) asserted that "Egypt has categorically and unequivocally denied claims circulated by some media outlets that it is prepared to temporarily relocate half a million Gaza residents to a designated city in North Sinai as part of Gaza's reconstruction."

"Egypt has resolutely and definitively rejected any attempt to forcibly or voluntarily displace Palestinian brothers and sisters to any location outside Gaza, especially to Egyptian territories, as this would represent the liquidation of the Palestinian cause and pose an imminent threat to Egypt's national security," it pointed out. The statement concluded by reaffirming that "Egypt's steadfast and clear position forms the basis of the plan it presented at the recent Cairo-hosted emergency Arab summit for Gaza's reconstruction."
