PFLP Request for Action, October 12 2023

This statement was made by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and is posted here in solidarity, in its original form.

O steadfast and resilient masses of our Palestinian people,

O masses of our Arab nation,

O free people of the world,

The saga of the Al-Aqsa Flood, executed by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, came as a qualitative milestone in the Palestinian national struggle, extending for more than a century, to attain its legitimate historical rights of freedom, independence, and self-determination.

The unparalleled bombardment by the zionist war machine against our people in the besieged strip, which resulted in numerous massacres, bombings of houses over their inhabitants, erasing entire residential squares, targeting journalists and medical teams, cutting off water, electricity, fuel, and food from the strip, are all but failed attempts to paint a false image of victory over the corpses and blood of our children, women, and elderly in the strip. It is also an exploitation of the Western American cover to entirely obliterate the Palestinian cause, which is the renewed old project of Netanyahu’s government that aims to end the conflict, annex the West Bank, Judaize Al-Aqsa, and execute the prisoners.

It has become essential to intensify the support and solidarity with our people in the strip, both Palestinian, Arab, and internationally. Therefore, we in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine issue this important call to:

1. Urge the masses of our people everywhere, in the homeland and in the diaspora, to massively and widely take to the streets, to rise against the occupation, and to openly clash with it, expressing a state of cohesion with our people in the strip in its ongoing battle. The coming Friday should be a day of escalation for Gaza.
2. Call on our people in the West Bank, inside “israel,” and the sons of our Arab nation to urgently organize relief convoys to Gaza, prioritizing medical supplies and fuel.
3. Call on the national, nationalist, progressive, leftist Arab and international forces, Arab masses, the free people of the world, and international sympathizers to organize stands in front of the enemy’s embassies, embassies of countries participating in the aggression, and international institutions worldwide, to denounce the crimes of the occupation and to reject international bias and collusion with the zionist entity.
4. The need for international and human rights institutions to document the crimes of the fascist occupation, expose them to the world, urge the international community to take up its responsibilities, perform its duties, condemn the brutal acts committed by the zionist entity against unarmed civilians inside the strip, unite the efforts of all opposing forces to face the occupation and defend the Palestinian narrative against the false zionist narrative, affirming that what the resistance does is in self-defense, and is a natural response to the continued occupation and aggression.
5. Demand the International Criminal Court to open an investigation into the massacres and war crimes committed by the zionist occupation in the Gaza Strip.
6. Confront the hostile American and Western behavior against our people, which is biased towards the zionist entity and is complicit in its aggression against our Palestinian people, continuing its colonial past in aggression, extermination wars, and the European positions hostile to the rights of our people.
7. The unjust international community should stop its double standards. This world, which laments those captured in the settlements surrounding Gaza. Doesn’t it see that there are 7,000 Palestinian prisoners languishing for decades in the occupation’s prisons? Doesn’t this world realize that the problem lies in the presence of the occupation that has occupied our land and our sanctities for 75 years? These dual policies in their standards and this blatant violation of the rights of our people will only bring more fire and blood.

What our heroic Palestinian people in the steadfast strip are exposed to, a war of extermination that makes humanity shudder, imposes upon us urgent action and uprising against zionist criminality and its supporters, especially since the US administration and the Western system are aligned to the point of partnership with the zionist entity to continue its crimes against our people.
