Anti-Israel groups call for 'worldwide escalation' with 'intifada in every capital'
Anti-Israel groups call for global protests and disruptions in response to Israeli military actions in Rafah, urging pressure on international supporters of Israel.
Several anti-Israel groups called for worldwide escalation and disruptions in cities and universities on Monday in response to the ongoing military operations against Hamas in Rafah.
“Escalate protests to an open intifada in every capital and city in order to deprive the world of its heavy slumber that comes at the expense of the bodies and remains of those that survive; disrupt all facets of daily life until our people can breathe freely without the taint of the Israeli, American, and European war machine,” said a call for a “worldwide escalation” issued by the small Gaza Group, but was shared by the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee, Princeton SJP, Penn Students Against the Occupation, Writers Against the War on Gaza.
Call to action
“Raise the ceiling of the global solidarity movement and immediately escalate all protest and pressure against Israel’s accomplices in the genocide, whether it is those who offer it a political and diplomatic cover for the occupation or those who supply it with a steady stream of military and financial support, as well as those engaging in cynical maneuvers that prolong the suffering of our people in Gaza," said the call to action.
“Create urgent and serious pressure on all parties to open the Rafah crossing, secure the evacuation of thousands of wounded, bring in necessary medical supplies, and for all international organizations to assume their responsibilities towards civilians fleeing from the endless cycle of death and displacement.”
