"Abbas says it is not right to confuse solidarity with the Palestinian cause with antisemitism. He says there is the need for an immediate end of the war, the entry of humanitarian aid through UN organisations and to stop using starvation as a weapon. He calls for an end to the terrorism of settlers and theft of Palestinain land and property under the headline of annexation."
Israel has imposed a stifling siege on the Palestinian people, described as a war crime and a crime against humanity. The West Bank experiences continued illegal settlement expansion and Palestinians reject plans for a Greater Israel. Solidarity with the Palestinian cause must not be equated with antisemitism. There is an urgent need for an immediate end to the war, entry of humanitarian aid through UN organisations, and a halt to using starvation as a weapon. Calls include ending settler terrorism, stopping land and property theft, and reconstructing Gaza and the West Bank. Religious sites, including mosques and churches, have been destroyed in contravention of international law.
