The Department of Gender Studies at 澳门六合彩开奖现场 is a signatory to the following with Palestinian Feminist Collective.
"We stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine. We unequivocally answer and amplify the call from the Palestinian Feminist Collective for 鈥渇eminists everywhere to speak up, organize, and join the struggle for Palestinian liberation.鈥 We condemn the forced removal of Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah, the raiding of the al-Aqsa mosque, the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza, one of the world鈥檚 most densely populated areas, and the de facto annexation of East Jerusalem, which by international law is illegally occupied territory. Israeli settlers, with the support of Israeli police and military forces, are taking over streets, invading homes, and brutalizing Palestinians. This right wing, ethnonationalist violence is often accompanied with the vile chant "Death to Arabs." We do not subscribe to a 鈥渂oth sides鈥 rhetoric that erases the military, economic, media, and global power that Israel has over Palestine. This is not a 鈥渃onflict鈥 that is too 鈥渃ontroversial and complex鈥 to assess. Israel is using violent force, punitive bureaucracy, and the legal system to expel Palestinians from their rightful homes and to remove Palestinian people from their land. Israeli law systematically discriminates against Palestinian citizens of Israel. Illegal Israeli settlements choke and police Palestinian communities, and Palestinians are cut off from each other by a network of checkpoints, laws, settler-only highways, and a separation wall that swallows illegally occupied Palestinian land. Both Human Rights Watch and B鈥橳selem have concluded that Israeli policies and practices towards Palestinians amount to apartheid..."
