There is a truce in fighting at the moment, but Gaza needs a permanent ceasefire and an end to apartheid rule. Today is a day the world should unite to amplify the call for peace in Palestine and for sovereignty.

Leanne Mohammad, a human rights activist, put together a comprehensive list to understand the needs and issues that Palestinians face. Please watch the informative video that she created. 10 Facts about Palestine that you should know, 10 Facts about Palestine you should know (8-10). Please share Ms. Mohammad’s video with your friends and family today to show your support and solidarity.
Even under the truce in fighting between Hamas and Israel, Palestinians are suffering. There is no water to shower or bathrooms to use. The temperatures are freezing and Palestinians have no shelter to protect themselves from the weather. Even under the truce in fighting, Palestinians are being killed by Israeli soldiers, but Israel is not being attacked or under threat. World leaders are not speaking out against this violence. Even under the truce in fighting, Palestinians are being forced out of their homes in the West Bank and killed. Even under the truce in fighting, Syria and Lebanon are attacked and bombed. While the truce has brought some reprieve, the horrors in Gaza remain until a permanent ceasefire is established and respected. There is little aid getting into Gaza.
Palestinians need hundreds of trucks to enter Gaza. There is no reason that aid is being withheld but leaders with the power to open the borders continue to let innocent Palestinians suffer and die.
If world leaders want to stand in solidarity with Palestine, they should embargo Israel and the US. The UN has asked again for nations to hold Israel accountable, and none are doing so except for Belgium. The speeches of delegates fall flat if there are not actions behind the eloquent words. Embargo Israel and the US and truly stand in solidarity with Palestine. Push for your country and elected leaders to embargo Israel and the nations that have supported Israel’s war crimes and genocide.
