GLOBAL DAY of ACTION AGAINST GENOCIDE

 

Love, War, Genocide, Repeat.

Philippine groups heed Global Call Against Genocide in Gaza

A hundred thousand broken hearts and broken lives on Valentine’s Day. Since October 7, around 1% of the 2.27 million population of Gaza has been wiped out and the wounded and the dead are disproportionately women (5,300) and children (9,000) . Around one in 120 children in Gaza has been killed or enough to fill 177 buses with 72 kids per bus. 

More worrying is that the attacks are now targeting the last remaining safe areas in Gaza, where more than 1.2 million refugees have evacuated. There is no let-up in attacks of the Israel Defense Force or IDF against the people of Gaza.

Peace advocates, student organizations, women’s organizations, and other civic organizations from the National Capital Region and other areas in the country will announce their position and participation on February 17, Global Day of Action Against Genocide as they heed the Global Call for accountability against the war crimes and apartheid committed by Israel upon the people of Palestine. Initiated by various international groups, this Global Call to Action Against Genocide (GDOA Against Genocide) is coming as the global call to end the hostilities in Gaza and the West Bank gains more steam post-January 26 decision from the International Court of Justice or the World Court on Israel. The decision of the World Court is for Israel to stop all actions that can be construed as genocide.
