We listened in disbelief to them tell their story. How can it be that a group of young people, our neighbours to the North, are being banned from peacefully expressing their disgust and condemnation of an ongoing genocide? What is this tyranny? It’s outrageous!

Protest: Stop Crimes Against Humanity in Palestine

/in
Skaitymo trukmė: 2 min.

It has been more than a month and a half since Israel’s latest onslaught on Gaza started. 1 out of 200 Gazans have been killed so far, with countless others still under the rubble. In the meantime, Israeli settlers have increased their attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, seizing more land and further driving Palestinians away from their homes. All of this is no less than the continuation of ethnic cleansing of Palestine, culminating in the current genocide being committed by Israel.

On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, join us in demanding an end to this genocide, an immediate ceasefire, and an end to the Lithuanian government’s and media’s support for Israel’s war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Thank you for coming to the silent procession to honour the victims in Gaza

Thank you for carrying candles and posters in your hands

Thank you for choosing your conscience over fear

Will we go down in history as the generation that watched a genocide unfolding in front of our eyes, and did nothing? Or even excused it?

If today you don’t say anything because you don’t want to, tomorrow you won’t say anything because they won’t allow you to speak at all.

Informational-cultural event “Under The Olive Tree”

We are living through very difficult times, helplessly watching – on our screens – crimes against humanity being committed in front of our eyes, and all the hatred that surrounds those who condemn them. Therefore it is very important to remember that what is happening in Palestine started long before that Saturday at the beginning of October, and that violence can only be stopped when its true causes are admitted and understood.

The olive tree is Palestine’s symbol, and it is also a symbol of the deep relationship that Palestine’s people have with their land. For this, we are inviting you to spend this coming Sunday afternoon under an olive tree – albeit only metaphorically, for Lithuania’s climate is not really good for olive trees. Let us be inspired by the olive tree’s steadfastness – sumoud in Arabic – and let us be reminded that even in the face of the worst injustices, a human being must remain human.

They call us now,
before they drop the bombs.
The phone rings
and someone who knows my first name
calls and says in perfect Arabic
“This is David.”
