October 5th Day of Action - Information and links to list of local actions

OCTOBER 5th DAY OF ACTION

Israel has made its goal extremely clear: to steal native Palestinian land and to annihilate Palestinian life.

This is textbook genocide, and it’s not confined to Gaza. Israel has taken the next step in its genocidal plans, launching the largest-scale military invasion of the West Bank since 2002.

The deliberate genocidal conditions that Israel created in Gaza are now replicated in the West Bank: Forced displacement. The destruction of infrastructure, with over 70% of roads bulldozed in Jenin. Abductions of Palestinian boys and men. The blocking of water, food, electricity, medical supplies, and aid. Violent attacks, including bombings.

Hands off the West Bank! Hands off all of Palestine! We must endure in this struggle, just as our people in Palestine have remained steadfast.

JOIN THE OCT. 5TH DAY OF ACTION

On Saturday, Oct. 5, we will take action to resist colonialism, salute the steadfastness of our Palestinian people, and show the world that we’ll keep fighting until total liberation and return.

Make your plans for how you will resist on this one-year anniversary of the current ongoing genocide, and beyond. Plan a protest, disrupt, shut down genocidal business, host a teach-in, or join a local action.

It’s enraging to see the same repeated images of ethnic cleansing over and over, the same images that Palestinians recognize from the 1948 Nakba and our own family histories.

But here’s one thing I know to be true: All empires must fall. We are witnessing the Israeli settler colonial state lash out with massive violence in its dying breaths. The Palestinian people will keep resisting until total liberation, and our global movement will too.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Onward to liberation
