77th Anniversary of the Nakba

End the Catastrophe Imposed on the Palestinian People! Support Palestinian Resistance Until Liberation!

Mass action commemorates 76th Anniversary of the Nakba and denounces Israeli genocide in Gaza, Montreal, May 11, 2024

May 15 is the day we commemorate al Nakba – the Catastrophe – a day marking a “continuous journey of pain, loss and injustice” for the Palestinian people. It marks the day that some 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes during the 1948 war. Palestinians were forced from their lands and homes due to military attacks by Zionist forces, supported by the British and U.S. governments. The Israeli Zionist forces attacked 774 cities and villages, and occupied 80 per cent of the Palestinian soil after killing nearly 15,000 Muslim and Christian civilians. Those who survived were forced to migrate to the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and neighbouring countries, such as Syria, Jordan and Lebanon.

As we commemorate May 15, al Nakba Day, the world demands that the same crimes being committed today stop immediately. These crimes, committed 77 years ago and ever since then, set the scene for today’s U.S./Israeli genocide.

On this occasion, the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) condemns the heinous U.S./Israeli Zionist crimes and the support for genocide given by Canada. We condemn the attempt to starve the suffering people of Gaza, the schemes being cooked up by the Trump administration behind the backs of the Resistance Movements, the relentless expansion of illegal settlements that continue the dispossession of the Palestinians begun in 1948, the attacks on the al-Aqsa mosque, and the brutal conditions and treatment of Palestinian prisoners arbitrarily held by Israel as an integral part of the brutal genocidal war.

We salute the Palestinian people’s unrelenting resistance and stand with them as the struggle for liberation demands ever more from them

All out to join the actions across the country condemning the crimes being committed against the Palestinian people!

Long Live the Palestinian Resistance!
