WFTU (World Federation of Trade Unions) sponsored a webinar on , with over 150 attendees representing Palestine, Europe, South America, the USA, Northern Africa, India, and more. Most were WFTU officials who spoke for their organizations. WFTU was founded in 1945 and has been in Solidarity with Palestine since 1948!! (73 years of struggle) WFTU has advocated for a free and independent Palestine for decades.
The latest news as of this morning - 212 dead, which includes 61 children. Over a thousand wounded and over 10,000 forced from their homes (they have taken shelter in UN schools). Their water supply has been damaged, and they are running out of medical supplies and food.
In addition, the USA proposes to ship approximately $735 million dollars worth of armaments during this genocidal attack on Palestine because "Israel was running low on their inventory".
Comrades and friends, as Americans,if we sit idly by, and the capitalists succeed, who will they attack next? This may be the tipping point that determines our future for the next hundred years. One Palestinian speaker told us that Israel wishes to push out all the inhabitants of Palestine, thereby making a whole people refugees: stateless, and with no place to live. He said that Palestinians will live or die in Palestine. They will not leave. Palestine is their home.
