If we don’t react to israel’s genocide against Palestine, we will have failed as human beings, writes Workers Party deputy Lilia Aguilar Gil.
6 Mexicans who were traveling on the Global Sumud flotilla to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza during the genocide are being repatriated to Mexico via Jordan.
A protest Friday afternoon drew crowds to the israeli embassy in the Lomas de Chapultepec neighbourhood of Mexico City to demand the release of the six Mexicans.
Eight Latin American countries have withdrawn their ambassadors from Tel Aviv and/or severed diplomatic relations with Israel. Mexico is not among them.
Supported by students, collectives, and social organizations in a march of thousands in Mexico City, members of Committee 68 reiterated their demand for justice and reparations.
“They must be repatriated immediately,” the Mexican President said of the six Mexicans participating in the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was intercepted yesterday en route to Gaza.
Families say the Mexicans were not in israeli territory, but international waters and even if close to Gaza, “that strip of sea belongs to Gaza, not israel.”
“Humanitarian aid is not a crime, which is why I join the urgent demand for the immediate and unconditional release of all activists,” the Justice posted.
Under pressure, ISIC will withdraw the israeli artist’s work, remove israel’s name from official advertising and officially condemned the genocide in Gaza.
