Gaza under attack!

A statement issued by Friends of the Earth International and a coalition of global civil society organizations meeting in Venezuela, condemning Israeli military attacks and a land invasion of the Gaza Strip in July 2014.

• A coalition of global civil society organizations, including climate justice and Indigenous groups meeting in Venezuela, condemns the Israeli army's intensification of bombings and the launch of a land invasion in the Gaza Strip, which they state has caused the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian civilians, including children.
• The signatories call for the international community to demand an end to the violence and the immediate removal of the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip, which they describe as illegal and inhumane since 2007.
• The document asserts that the State of Israel, as the occupying force under international law, is responsible for civilian casualties, including the death of a five-month-old child in Rafah during the invasion.
• The statement references the 2008-2009 'Cast Lead' operation, which resulted in nearly 1,500 Palestinian deaths, and argues that the government of Benjamin Netanyahu has worked to prevent the establishment of an independent Palestinian State.
• The coalition advocates for a global campaign of boycotts, disinvestment, and sanctions against Israel until it complies with UN resolutions, drawing a parallel to the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa.
