On Saturday, April 11, the Rosario Action for Palestine Assembly organized a gathering in solidarity with Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon confronting Zionist and imperialist aggression.
The rally included a number of political organizations, human rights groups and individuals, and it was livestreamed over open radio. Organizers called for action to break Argentina’s ties with the occupation regime, noting: “While genocide and Zionist colonization continue in Palestine, the attacks by the US and the ‘Israeli’ colonial regime against Lebanon, Iran, and all of West Asia are intensifying. Meanwhile, in Latin America, imperialism attacks Venezuela and Cuba, while ensuring the plunder of countries like Argentina through Milei’s servile alignment and the establishment of colonial enterprises like Mekorot.”
Participants demanded an end to all Argentine agreements with Mekorot, the Zionist state water company, which has pursued multiple contracts around the world that put the ‘Israeli’ company in charge of water supplies in cities and rural communities.
During the rally, participants chanted in support of the resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran, and against Zionist-imperialist aggression, led by the United States. It was also emphasized that the systematic persecution and repression by the Zionist lobby against militants and activists who denounce the genocide and support the resistance must be stopped.
For our part, Masar Badil stated during the event that “we are at a decisive historical moment, in which the imperialist-Zionist offensive against our peoples is intensifying, while at the same time the spaces of popular resistance are expanding. We believe that the struggle against the Zionist enemy, Yankee imperialism, and its allies, such as the Argentine government, is entering a phase that demands political clarity and revolutionary discourse and practice.”
At the conclusion of the rally, participants showed their support for the Global Sumud Flotilla, aiming to break the siege on Gaza and departing the same day as the rally, through an artistic performance, and called for an additional demonstration on April 17, Palestinian Prisoners’ Day.
