Direct Action Monterey Network statement in solidarity with Palestine

Today the Direct Action Monterey Network joined a demonstration organized by the Monterey Peace and Justice Center to demand an end to Israel’s assault on Gaza and an end to U.S. military aid to Israel. Israel’s recent airstrikes on Gaza have killed nearly 200 people.

We echo the sentiments coming from Palestinian organizations who “call on conscientious people all over the world, to act, protest, and intensify the boycotts, divestments and sanctions against Israel until it ends this murderous attack on our people and is held to account.”

Of course, ending the current assault is only the beginning. Israel must end its brutal occupation of Palestinian land. To this end, we support the struggle of Palestinians to defend themselves and fight for freedom and self-determination.
Viva Palestina!
