Today on Friday 25th July, We march in Solidarity with the Oppressed People of Palestine.

People in Palestinian are being murdered with impunity. Their homes are being destroyed with impunity. As they are being murdered and as their homes are being destroyed they are being shown to the world as if they are responsible for their own oppression. It is clear that the Palestinians are people who do not count to this world.

In the past we have organised and protested in solidarity with people in Haiti and Turkey. Tomorrow we will join the march in Durban in solidarity with people currently under attack in Palestine. Our solidarity will be to insist that everyone must count equally in this world.

In 2011 one of our members spent some months in Palestine and she has briefed us on the situation there. We are looking for ways to enrich our connections with the struggle in Palestine and hope to be able to host a Palestinian comrade in Durban.

An injury to one is an injury to all.

The struggle for land, freedom and dignity is a world wide struggle.
