Palestine is a national liberation struggle, not a religious issue
We must remember that the Israel-Palestine conflict is not a religious one, between Jews and Muslims – it is a struggle of the oppressed Palestinian people against a 75-year occupation of their lands, says PRAKASH KARAT
Palestinians displaced by the Israeli air and ground offensive on the Gaza Strip flee from parts of Khan Younis following an evacuation order by the Israeli army to leave the eastern part of Gaza Strip's second largest city, July 22, 2024

IT IS MORE than nine months since Israel launched its genocidal war on the Palestinians in Gaza. Till now, around 39,000 people have been killed, including a large number of women and children, in the brutal bombardment and air strikes. 

Hospitals, schools and residential buildings — nothing has been spared by the Israeli armed forces. In the occupied West Bank, the Israeli armed forces are conducting daily raids and over 550 Palestinians have been killed. The Israeli government has stepped up establishment of illegal settlements and encroaching on lands and olive groves of Palestinians in the West Bank.

Against this Israeli aggression, millions of people have been joining the mass protests around the world. Significantly, they include a large number of Jews who are demanding that Israel stop this barbarous war and not act in the name of Jewish people. Thus they are demarcating themselves from the zionists and extremists in Israel.
