Read this message from women in Jerusalem about their demo today -- great
description!  Please circulate



As outraged as we are, Palestinian women in Jerusalem took to the streets,
and Sarah and myself were in the streets since the morning.  We saw them
militarizing our demonstration's space, and told them all we want; we
showed them that they could put all the soldiers and security people they
want - they can't stop Palestinians from resisting.

The statement attached is in both languages- we wrote it together with all
the wonderful women's ideas and insights around me, and we hope to continue
our struggle.  Just watching our first demonstration today at Damascus
Gate, one learns that it was not only us feminist activists, it was not
only women that are running civil society organizations and women and
feminist NGO's; it was women passersby, that were on their way to the
market/suq, and stopped to join us.  It was women sellers that left their
merchandise on the side, and started chanting with us.  When we moved to
the second demonstration opposite the EU offices, women heard our slogans,
came out of their houses and joined us; then when moving to our third
demonstration opposite the Red Cross, again, more women joined the
march..........It was all of us, from the various places, ages, positions,
political parties that joined hand in hand to demand stopping the massacres
in Gaza....and call Israel a terrorist state.

The world might not hear our voices and our demands, but, we needed to
speak loudly, we needed to gather, to share stories of pain and power, show
our solidarity and love to each other....as Love is a practice of freedom.



*Turning a Blind Eye to Israel’s Genocidal Attacks on the Palestinian
People is Complicity with Crimes against humanity*

To turn a blind eye to Israel’s massacres in Gaza today is to be
complicit about
Israel’s brutality and genocidal attacks against the Palestinian people. We
are writing this statement to strongly condemn Israel’s most recent
massacres and war crimes committed against civilians and families in Gaza,
and demand an immediate cessation of the indiscriminate killings, an end to
the siege, and we fiercely reject the vengeful destruction of property,
infrastructure, and the livelihood of our people in Gaza.



The continuous dispossession of Palestinians’ right to life and to a safe
future, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians since 1948, and indeed the
constant uprooting, displacement, housing demolitions, fragmentation of
families, land grabbing, and incarceration, create desperate and hopeless li
ving conditions and stifle our possibilities for the future. To be silent
amidst the continuous criminalities, to accept military occupation and
colonial violence, to accept the killing of women and men, young and old,
rural, refugee, and villagers, is to approve the various colonial modes of
dispossession, and deny Palestinians the right to a dignified life.



In the name of “Al-tajamo’ Al-nasawiy Almaqdasy, a group of “Coalition of
Jerusalemite Women” and Jerusalemite feminists from all segments of
society, we write to convey our deep condemnation of the continuous loss of
lives, as we express our rejection to the silence of the global and
regional communities and complicity with the cruel Zionist project. We
women are appalled with the unending dispossessions and mundane suffering
of our people in occupied Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. We refuse to
accept violence as part of the daily lives of the Palestinian refugees in
the various camps, as well as among Palestinians of 1948 in the Galilee,
Naqab, Triangle, and more. We are outraged with the terrorism of the
Zionist settler colonial regime, as well as its machinery of oppression
that inscribes pain and marks the bodies and lives of our families,
daughters, sons, and communities as disposable objects, non-human “Others” and
unrecognized entities, as naked bodies and lives, dispossessed of the right
to life, to safety, and even to the right of dying in dignity.



Today we stand as Palestinian women who reject any denial of our right to
rights and refuse to normalize or justify the violence of the Israeli
occupation and colonization, while firmly demanding an end to the Zionist
regime, machinery, and its violent colonial structure. Over 60 years of
Zionist structural violence have passed, a long period of continuous
dispossession, displacement, and uprooting. And today, in Gaza, and
throughout all of historic Palestine, we re-experience the displacement and
fragmentation of our families and our communities, the creation of
thousands of additional refugees; we re-experience Palestinian death and
crimes against our people; we re-live the annihilation of our future and
rights for self-determination, while the world is watching.



Today we stand as Palestinian women insisting on our right to resist the
brutality of the settler colonial regime, and asserting our inherent right
to defend ourselves. We speak against the persistent criminality, against
and victimization of our people; we demand an end to the silence, an end to
the international community’s willful blindness, and the colonial aphasia
that surrounds our catastrophe, and we demand the right to speak out about
our trauma and our steadfastness. Today we stand with the power of our
ancestors, the power of our steadfastness, and the power of our just cause.
Our hope for the future and love of life fuel our struggle against
continuous injustices; we continue our long history of popular resistance
against the Zionist state for a life of safety and dignity. We stand here
to say— do not be voyeuristic observers; do not be gravediggers; and
support our struggle to live life, not die it!

*In the name of the justness of our cause:*

1. First and foremost, we demand an immediate end to the massacres and war
crimes that the Israeli state is now committing in Gaza. We demand an
immediate end to the legality of our victimhood- despite our
Sumud/steadfastness--and urge you to stop the continuous attacks and
massacres that started in 1948 in Deir Yassin, Qufr Qasim, Eilaboon,
continued during the incursions in Hebron and Jenin, and included Sabra and
Shatila Refugee Camps in Lebanon, and continue today in Shejaiyya and other
neighborhoods of Gaza. We demand an end to the brutality, dispossession and
demonization that is marked on the Palestinian body, on the Palestinian family,
on women’s intimacy, on women’s sexuality, on women’s bodies, on women’s
pregnant bodies, on women’s birthing bodies, the pain that is inscribed
even onto the bodies of our dead.



2. We call on the international community and the Arab world, its daughters
and its sons, to pressure their governments, and stop the continuous Nakba,
including the very bloody attack on Gaza today.



3. We appeal to civil society organizations, regional organizations and
international human rights and humanitarian organizations to work together
to help end the Israeli occupation.



4. We demand an immediate end to collective punishment that is caging
Palestinians in closed and open



prisons, that is hunting people in their homes, in their places of worship,
in their schools, and even in their graveyards.



5. We claim the preservation of safety for the brave Palestinian women that
continue resisting colonial oppression through their daily contributions,
including daily attempts to provide safety and security for the most
vulnerable among our people—their beloved ones, their babies even when in
their wombs, their students, their youth, our children, the elderly, and
those in need—and to preserve our history, culture and continuity as a
people.



6. We urge the international feminist community, including Nobel laureates
and other feminist activists, to stand up against the continuous violence
that is directed towards Palestinian individuals and our society as a
whole, and to work harder in preventing continuous massacres, forced
displacement, and destruction of our social fabric.



 7. We call on all people of the world who have suffered from atrocities,
dehumanization, displacement, and war crimes to stand with us and make
their voices heard.



8. We demand holding the criminals accountable, whether these criminals are
representatives of the Israeli state, private organizations, or
individuals, and holding Israel accountable for its war crimes and
compelling the state to respect international treaties including the 4th
Geneva convention, the Rome statute, and other related treaties.



9. We urge all people of conscience to support the Boycott, Divestment, and
Sanctions (BDS) Movement, divesting from Israel, imposing economic
sanctions on Israel, and excluding Israel while defining it as a terrorist
state.
