Statement on Palestine

public statement to express solidarity with the Palestinian people

(Draft)
1. We’d like to express that we, as RoRies, stand in full solidary with the Palestinian people and support their struggle for freedom and equal rights.

2. We reject the Israeli racism, oppression, apartheid, and their occupation, colonisation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine, their genocide on the Palestinian people

3. We condemn the complicity of the US, Europe/ “the west”, especially the Dutch government, Dutch universities, Dutch financial institutions, all Dutch companies who support this regime and their crimes.

4. We believe that silence is complicity

5. We stand with human rights activists in the Netherlands and we resist their oppression and criminalisation.

6. This statement is rooted in our principles.

   

K: I’m in favor to also reject Israeli genocide.
And to make it stronger, also the complicity of the US, Europe/ “the west”, Dutch government, Dutch universities, all/Dutch companies still actively trading with Israeli .

next to that, I think/feel there is a truth in “silence is complicity”.
