Solidarity March in Valletta Echoes Support for Palestinians

Dec 3 2023 Share

Yesterday, a large number of people came together in a solidarity march to support the Palestinian people. The march took place in Valletta.

Moviment Graffiti highlighted that the violence committed by Israel in Gaza is still happening. They shared that in the past few weeks, Israel has caused the deaths of around 15,000 Palestinians, including 6,000 children. Additionally, tens of thousands of Palestinians have been forced out of their homes.

Although there have been a few days of ceasefire, it is not sufficient to ease the suffering of the two and a half million Palestinians in Gaza. Basic services like health care are in a critical state or have already collapsed.

These distressing events are part of Israel’s ongoing policy to take control of the land and displace the Palestinian people. In the West Bank, thousands of Palestinians face fear and harassment from illegal settlers and the Israeli military.

For the past 75 years, Palestinians have endured blockades, checkpoints, resource theft, forced evictions, occupation, violence, humiliation, and imprisonment. The current situation has reached unimaginable levels of hardship.

The leaders of Europe and the United States have been criticized for supporting Israel, even as it openly engages in what many consider genocide. This support is seen as a dark mark in history.

However, people from around the world standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people is considered one of the most potent tools to address this historical injustice. In these challenging times, global solidarity is needed more than ever.
