Peace People – TRANSCEND Media Service — Since the beginning of the Palestinian Grand Return March on land Day 30th April, the world has looked on in horror as Israel has killed at least 109 Palestinians and injured thousands of unarmed Palestinians asking to return to their land and seeking to protect nonviolently what little of their land is left.
Mairead Corrigan Maguire
The massacre and ongoing slow genocide in Gaza where two million (mostly refugees and mostly youth) are subjected to Israeli government policies that ignore human rights and international law, and implement apartheid and ethnic cleansing policies which goes unchallenged by the rest of the world.
We should not allow the Palestinians to be punished by Israel because of what happened to European Jews in the Holocaust during the Second World War.
Nor should we allow Europe and the world’s future to be manipulated by the past and the world to be held to ransom by Zionism.
