New Global Mobilization for Palestine

Argentina and the world are preparing solidarity actions for Palestine. November 29 will be a global day of protest, with Argentina contributing a march in Buenos Aires, despite media censorship and online suppression.


New Global Mobilization for Palestine

A few weeks ago, a Palestine support committee was created in the town of Escobar, and last Sunday, November 2, the Palestine Solidarity Committee of Tigre and San Fernando was presented at an event that included members of the San Martín Support Committee and the Palestine Encounter of Vicente López, which for several months have been taking action and coordinating in the Northern Zone of the Greater Buenos Aires area. This 'grassroots' organization continues to grow through word-of-mouth and event-to-event communication, despite the media blackout. The same is happening in various towns within the AMBA corridor. In Italy and other parts of Europe, the mobilization will be preceded by a general strike on Friday, November 28, while centralized demonstrations for the 29th are already confirmed in capitals such as Rome, Paris, and Berlin, among other cities. While hegemonic media remain silent and Meta erases records of Palestinian memory from its digital networks, the genocide in Gaza and attacks in the West Bank continue. Within the framework of a global day of solidarity with Palestine, there will be a new mobilization from the Congress to Plaza de Mayo on Saturday, November 29, starting at 3 PM. In this context, a new mobilization for Saturday, November 29, is being organized in advance to ensure its dissemination and mass participation, especially considering the impunity of hegemonic media that report nothing on the matter. This day was declared by the UN in 1977 as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. The date commemorates injustices and violations, from the unfair partition that took place in November 1947 to the subsequent violations by the Zionist occupation, which, not content with receiving 55% of a foreign territory, invaded the rest of the territory in what the Palestinian people would later call the Nakba, or the great catastrophe.

In addition to Europe and Argentina, there are calls to action in other countries like Chile, and it is expected that more demonstrations will join worldwide for a great global day. Palestine support assemblies and committees are multiplying in Argentina. While new assemblies or committees in support of the Palestinian cause are forming in various provinces, joining the existing ones. Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon also continue. In Argentina, censorship and discrimination in universities and other spaces persist, while Muslims are discriminated against with impunity, as happened after the construction of a mosque in Olavarría. 'We cannot be complicit in the attempt to whitewash the genocidal state of Israel. We continue to mobilize!' part of the call issued by the Argentine Committee for Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Towards a new 'Blocchiamo tutto' in Italy and its expansion across Europe The call for a new general strike on Friday, November 28, across Italy by grassroots Italian unions is already circulating, to be followed by a major mobilization in Rome on Saturday, the 29th. Israel has violated the ceasefire dozens of times, and at least 240 people have been killed in Gaza since the supposed 'ceasefire.' Despite its massive scale, the event received no coverage from hegemonic media. 'Since the peace agreement, Israel has broken the ceasefire more than 100 times... It has restricted the entry of humanitarian aid to less than half. It has continued with its plan to annex the West Bank, bombing residential buildings, among other things.' Francesca Albanese also announced in a video that she will be in Genoa on the 28th to support the strike and in Rome the next day for the mobilization. The general strikes in Italy in September and October were a success and drew the attention of the entire world. Invitations from personalities like Greta Thunberg or Thiago Avila are circulating, calling for both events.
