"The anti-apartheid conscience continues to grow. Outside and inside Israel. Humanity is alive. We must move altogether. And act together in the name of our absolute equal dignity and equal rights. Everywhere. Unity of the people, unity of the struggles."

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on oPt

"It is painful to see what Israelis are doing to the Palestinians -soldiers, settlers, security, police, very tangibly. This is not a war. It is to torture a people: physically and psychologically. And it is part of their erasure."

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on oPt

Paul Vannier, Deputy of the French National Assembly

"Israel has passed a new draconian law, which vastly expands its state apparatus of death for Palestinians and deepens apartheid in its legal system.

"Like we’ve witnessed in Gaza, the Israeli military is attempting to destroy Lebanese society. When the Israeli military threatens to punish any Lebanese family who shelters displaced families, it is attempting to destroy Lebanese social fabric and its resilience....."

Jewish Voice for Peace

"The world finally sees the true nature of an Apartheid state that has terrorized, displaced. executed, jailed and tortured millions of Palestinians for decades. Israel won’t stop until States and people force it to stop."
