"Israel asks to disarm Hezbollah in Lebanon, but it should disarm the Israeli terrorists, armed and protected by the Netanyahu government, who systematically massacre Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank. Writes the Israeli newspaper Haaretz."

"Meanwhile, Israel has razed entire villages to the ground in southern Lebanon and is destroying schools, hospitals, and homes to prevent Lebanese displaced persons from returning to their lands, exactly as they did in Gaza."

Rula Jebreal, Palestinian foreign policy analyst and journalist

"Correction. Israeli Zionists (NOT Jews) are hunting children for fun. Zionism is not Judaism. Israel does not stand for Jews. Israel stands for Zionists, whatever their religion. Confusing Israel with Judaism is driving a surge in antisemitism."

Dr. Jill Stein, American physician

Drums and rhythmic chants filled the air during a solidarity march in Berlin for civilians in Gaza and Lebanon.

"Sanchez, the Spanish Prime Minister, condemns the genocide and imposes sanctions against Israel. Meanwhile, the French government wants to pass a law that criminalizes solidarity with the Palestinians. History will remember the complicity of Macronism and the RN with the massacres. We will never forget. Soon, we will prevail, and France will join the front for peace and international law."

Clémence Guetté, Deputy of the French National Assembly

"It's about time. But don't stop there. Make it a complete suspension of the EU-Israel trade agreement. Expel Israel from the UN, cut diplomatic ties. Above all, end all weapons & military support. We need BDS on steroids."

Dr. Jill Stein, American physician

"The Global Sumud Flotilla is heading to Gaza to break Israel's illegal siege. While the flotilla sails at sea, we must mobilise on land. Let's turn this historic mission into lasting political change — and bring about peace, justice and liberation for the Palestinian people."

Jeremy Corbyn, British MP

"Israel is scarier than other terrorist groups, because they do organized terrorism. They kill people on a much larger scale, they kill civilians in greater percentages and they destroy everywhere they go - and then they steal the land! Most effective terrorists in the world."

Cenk Uygur, Turkish-American political activist

Chants for Palestine in Berlin 🇵🇸

"Surely my life is not easy. But it is nothing compared to that of the Palestinians under Israeli Apartheid, who continue to be genocided and tortured. With or without sanctions, I will not stop standing for justice. Together we can and we will."

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on oPt

"Is this some sort of a joke? The EU that supported the Genocide in Gaza + Lebanon, couldn't condemn the US/Israeli illegal invasion of Iran, has blocked Diplomacy in Ukraine from the start, couldn't condemn US invasion of Venezuela, now this EU wants to talk about Diplomacy..?"

Mick Wallace, former Member of the European Parliament

"On Palestinian Prisoners Day, Israel’s prisons and military camps have become sites of mass detention torture, sexual violence, starvation, and enforced disappearance. Thousands of Palestinians are held without charge, denied lawyers, and stripped of basic rights. These crimes demand immediate international action and accountability."

Palestinian Centre for Human Rights - PCHR

"Israel’s new death penalty law places thousands of Palestinians at imminent risk of execution and escalates the systemized killing of Palestinians by the Israeli apartheid regime...."

A protester chants "Free Palestine" as Berlin police force him into a vehicle.

"Palestinians in the West Bank face the systematic demolition of their homes and are terrorised by violent settlers. The “rules-based international order” means nothing without action. We need sanctions, now!"

Chris Hinchliff, British MP

"We are outraged to learn that Canada has denied entry to officials from the Palestine Football Association ahead of FIFA pre-World Cup meetings in Vancouver. This is despite Canada’s host role and its recognition of the State of Palestine. Canada must reverse this arbitrary and discriminatory ban."

Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East

"Israel is a rogue, pariah state, that has only grown more destabilising with its limitless immunity. The UK Government must enact widespread sanctions against Israel. Its continued illegal occupation of Palestine flies in the face of the International Court of Justice July 2024 Advisory Opinion."

International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP)

"Silencing criticism of Israeli genocide doesn't stop antisemitism. It drives it. If you want to stop growing antisemitism, stop Israel's genocide."

Dr. Jill Stein, American physician

"Israel does not seem to know what a ceasefire is. In Gaza as in Lebanon, peace is not part of its political agenda. It must be forced into it and this supremacist regime sanctioned immediately!"

Mathilde Panot, Deputy of the French National Assembly

"Israel blow up schools. They blow up hospitals. They blow up mosques and churches. They blow up universities and libraries. They blow up historic monuments. They blow up homes. They blow up sanitation. They blow up anything and everything, knowing they have impunity."

Owen Jones, British columnist and commentator

German police reportedly attacked and detained a man holding a banner, displaying images of starving Palestinian children from Gaza, in a peaceful protest in Berlin.
