Jaldia Abubakra, a member of the executive committee of the Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, said: “The continuous Zionist aggression against our people in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, in Jerusalem, and in besieged Gaza, is taking place amid official international silence, while our Palestinian people continue their struggle and steadfastness, protecting and defending their presence in Jerusalem, the Naqab, Haifa and Nablus with popular strength and determination.”

“In reality, Biden is akin to the Zionist Ben Gvir: a murderer, a war criminal and a direct partner of the Zionist entity that daily assaults our people with weapons and comprehensive sponsorship by U.S. imperialism and NATO,” she said. “The F-16 planes, naval battleships and artillery that bombard Gaza now are being manufactured and sold with the full support and complicity of the U.S., Canada, Germany, Britain, France, the Netherlands and other imperialist states.”

She urged “Palestinian and Arab communities in Europe, North America and Latin America to participate widely in organizing angry mass demonstrations and express their rejection of the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people in the holy month of Ramadan. We reject the Zionists’ repeated attempts to turn the struggle into an open religious war, and are making our position clear to confront the official European, U.S. and Arab positions. Now is the time to escalate popular action against Zionist arms companies and factories abroad,” she said, highlighting the direct actions of groups like Palestine Action in Britain that have led to the closure of Israeli arms factories.

The Masar Badil further condemns the silence of the United Nations and the countries involved in the crimes of the occupation, Abubakra affirmed. “We will meet with trade unions and movements to hold the Zionist fascists accountable for their crimes, including calling on unions and port workers to boycott Israeli companies and all institutions of the occupation.”
