Palestinian Land Day Long Live the Palestinian People and Their Resistance!
On March 30, 1976, six Palestinians from Arab villages inside the Green Line were shot and killed by Israeli forces while protesting the confiscation of 5,500 acres of land from the Galilee. Since then, Land Day has been commemorated by Palestinians inside Israel as well as in the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem and around the world.
Continuous protests have been held every
Friday
since last year when a Mass March of Return, involving thousands of
people from Gaza and the West Bank marched for over 46 days to
converge en masse on the Gaza Strip's roughly
45-kilometre-long eastern border with Israel. The action
culminated on May 14 to mark the 70th anniversary of Al Nakba
(The Catastrophe) in which the brutal and genocidal displacement
of the Palestinian people, that continues to this day, accompanied
the creation of the Zionist state of Israel. The courage and
persistence which mark the resistance of the people in the
occupied territory of Palestine are legendary. The resistance of
the Palestinian people to the Zionist occupiers by which,
generations later, all those displaced as well as their
descendants fully affirm their right of return as codified in
international law is indomitable. On this occasion, the Communist Party of Canada
(Marxist-Leninist) salutes the Palestinian people, our hearts
seething with the pain and sorrow they are forced to endure and
deep appreciation for their humanity in the face of the most
heinous crimes which will go down in the annals of the greatest
infamies ever committed against a people. Long live your struggle
-- long live your resistance and love of life which are bound to
prevail!
