Appeal to trade unions from the Palestinian trade unions
The trade union movement in the UK must be central in responding to the onslaught on the Palestinian people in Gaza and beyond. Many unions have already joined the call for an immediate ceasefire, an end to Israel’s violence and apartheid, and many have already contributed to the huge protest on Saturday 14th October in Central London attended by 150,000 people.
But as the situation in Palestine gets worse, now is the time for trade unions to step up their efforts.
Palestinian trade unions have issued an urgent call for solidarity actions, reminding their counterparts in the UK that:
“Since Saturday Israel has indiscriminately and intensively bombarded Gaza, and cut off fuel, electricity, water, food, and medical supplies. Israel has killed more than 2,600 Palestinians – including 724 children – leveling whole neighbourhoods, wiping out entire families and injuring more than 10,000 people. Some international law experts have begun warning of Israel’s genocidal acts.
Elsewhere, Israel’s far-right government has distributed more than 10,000 rifles to extremist settlers in ‘48 Palestine and the occupied West Bank to facilitate their escalating attacks and pogroms against Palestinians. Israel’s actions, massacres, and rhetoric point to its intention to implement its long promised second Nakba, expelling as many Palestinians as possible and creating a ‘New Middle East’ in which Palestinians live in perpetual subjugation.”
The full call for action is HERE
Palestine Solidarity Campaign is calling all trade unionists in the UK to take action in solidarity with the Palestinian people, for an immediate ceasefire and an end to attacks on Gaza; for the siege to be lifted so that urgent aid can reach Palestinians in Gaza; and for the UK government to stop selling weapons to Israel, which are being used in indiscriminate attacks on civilians:
