Common Notions Press stands in solidarity with Palestine and calls for an end to Israel’s hundred years’ war on the Palestinian people, and the unfolding genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign which has killed nearly 5,100, nearly half of whom are children, wounded over 15,000 more, and displaced at least one million Palestinians in just the past three weeks. We also call for an end to the blockade on Gaza and an end to 75 years of Israeli occupation of Palestine.

The US government already sends $3.8 billion to Israel annually to fund: the continued systemic occupation, mass eviction, incarceration, torture and senseless killing of Palestinians at funerals, hospitals, peaceful demonstrations, and cultural celebrations, and the daily deprivation of rights and freedom. Now the US is pledging to send billions more to help Israel to realize its goal of complete annihilation of Palestine. It is our duty to resist two settler states that profit from racial colonial capitalism and the subjugation of Indigenous peoples from Turtle Island to Palestine. We must say: not in our name. We stand unwaveringly and unconditionally with the people of Palestine in their fight for life and liberation and support oppressed people everywhere in their anticolonial struggles.

In this moment of collective heartbreak, devastation, and despair, we encourage our comrades to amplify the stories of Palestinians in Gaza, share resources, heed calls to action from Palestinian activists, defend each other from repression by the powerful for standing in solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle, engage in collective study as well as comradely self-reflection and conversations in community, and organize everywhere to stop the genocide we are witnessing in realtime.

From the river to the sea, #FreePalestine!

In solidarity,

The Common Notions Collective
